Story:Star Trek: Helena/Voyage of the Defiant/Chapter 1

(Main Bridge, Red Alert)

The crew are all at their battle stations as Captain Tyson walks over to Lieutenant Mitchell at Tactical.

Standby all weapons and full power to Shields, Jamie are they scanning us, Captain Tyson says as he looks at her.

She runs her fingers across the tactical console and then reports.

That's weird their weapons aren't powered nor their shields are raised I'm not even detecting any power readings from their defensive systems, Lieutenant Mitchell says as she reports her findings to Captain Tyson.

Then Ensign Mason chimes in.

She's right their adrifted I'm not picking up anything either, Ensign Mason says as he looks at Captain Tyson and Commander Core.

Then Captain Tyson looks at him.

It could still be a trap scan for bio-signs Liz standby for evasive incase they react to it, Captain Tyson says as he looks at the viewer.

Ensign Mason looks at his console.

No, life readings but it could be the rift throwing off my scans, Ensign Mason says as he looks at his console then at Captain Tyson.

Tyson then turns to Commander Core.

Susan take a well armed away team have the transporter chief keep a constent lock on your combadges so we can beam you out at the first hint of trouble, Captain Tyson says as he looks at Commander Core.

She nods at him and assembles her away team.

Mitchell, Mason you're with me have a security team meet us in Transporter 2, Commander Core says as she, Mitchell, and Mason enter the turbo-lift and the doors closed.

(USS Defiant, Main Bridge)

The Team beams over as they turn on their SMI beacons and looks around the Command center.

It looks like their main power grid is down, let me see if I can reroute power to the grid, Commander Watson says as she goes over to the Engineering console and works on it and the lights come back on as the Bridge powers up.

Core to Helena no sign of resistance but it looks like the Bridge crew didn't survive the trip either, Commander Core says as she kneels down at the Captain's dead body.
