Story:Starship Archer/Silentium Est Aurem/Act Four

ACT FOUR

FADE IN

EXT-SPACE

The Archer undocks from the Starbase and takes up a defensive posture between the enemy fleet and the planet.

INT-BRIDGE (RED ALERT)

Red Alert lights flash. As the crew assume their battle stations, as Captain Taylor stands between the ops and con stations.

SITO: (off her console) The Talarian Fleet has arrived and are assuming formation.

Taylor goes back to her chair and sits down. As before Taylor has her eyes on the viewscreen, which displays the Dominion fleet arrayed against them. It looks like the Dominion ships could roll over the Starbase like a wave.

TAYLOR: (To Sito) Maintain communications blackout. Nobody fires until we have orders from Commodore Martin.

Sito inputs commands on her console.

CARLSON (Conn Officer): That's a lot of ships.

TAYLOR: That'll just make it harder for us to miss.
