Story:Star Trek: Archer/Rescue/Act Three

ACT THREE

FADE IN

EXT-SPACE

The Archer and Melbourne are next to each other.

CAPT. TAYLOR'S (Voice Over) ''Captain's Log Stardate 3843.4. Repairs on the Melbourne are slowing going but proceeding well, but after T'Lar found out what hit us hit the Melbourne I'm thinking about having the damaged starship retreat to the nearest Starbase for full repairs.''

INT-ARCHER'S MAIN BRIDGE (RED ALERT)

CAPT. COOPER (On the viewer) Out of the question Captain my ship will not fall back like a coward.

CAPT. TAYLOR Starfleet Regulation one hundred ninety one, article fourteen in a combat situation involving more than one ship, command falls to the vessel with tactical superiority. I looked it up this morning so in this case Captain Cooper the Archer has tactical command of this mission now.

Transmission ends.

LT. SMITH They've ended the hail.

CMDR. MARTIN Friendly fellow.

CAPT. TAYLOR Very.

Then Doctor Carlson walks onto the bridge and walks over to both Commander Martin and Captain Taylor.

DR. CARLSON I've treated five members of the Melbourne crew for radiation poisoning and four with second to third degree burns.

CAPT. TAYLOR Were you able to treat Captain Cooper?

Carlson leans forward.

DR. CARLSON
