Archer is adrift still.

Int. B-Deck

Crew are repairing the damage as both Lieutenant Mason and Captain Taylor are walking through the damaged section as Jack is giving her the damage and causality report.

Ltjg. Mason: The comm system's still down, we don't have a complete casualty list yet so far the news isn't good, five people are confirmed dead, a dozen wounded most of the hull breaches have been contained with emergency bulkheads.

She looks at him.

Capt. Taylor: What about weapons?

He looks at her.

Ltjg. Mason: The aft torpedo launcher's working, but that's about it.

Then a shower of sparks erupts from the ceiling.

Ltjg. Mason: I really don't know what's holding us together, but let's hope it doesn't give out.

She looks at him.

Capt. Taylor: Get working on the coms I want to contact Starfleet Command and my father about what happened.

He nods at her.

Int. Main Engineering

They walk into engineering as engineering teams are walking around the section repairing power conduits and relays as Williams looks at her.

Capt. Taylor: Report how bad is it?

She looks at her.

Ltcmdr. Williams: The primary warp coil's fried, it has to be rebuilt from scratch.

She looks at her.

Capt. Taylor: How long will it take?

She looks at her.

Ltcmdr. Williams: A week thank god we got the parts to do it.

She looks at her.

Capt. Taylor: Where are they?

Williams looks at her.

Ltcmdr. Williams: Cargo Bay 2.

Mason looks at the Captain.

Ltjg. Mason: E-Deck is currently depressurized.

Williams looks at her.

Ltcmdr. Williams: I'll do what I can to restore Impulse and warp but without those parts we're 13 years away from the nearest shipyard.

Ltjg. Mason: E Deck is currently exposed to Space.

Cut to: Int. Main Bridge

Commander Martin is at the conn leaning on it as Ensign Carlson looks at her console.

Ens. Carlson: Helm control is back on-line, now all we need is thrusters, impulse, and warp drive and then we'll get moving again.

Cmdr. Martin: First good news we've had all day Ensign.

Ens. Carlson: Sir I don't get it the Romulans had us dead to rights and then they just left us alive, why didn't they finish us off before they left?

Cmdr. Martin: I was wondering the exact same thing Kara.

Ens. Sutherland: Commander we're receiving a general distress call from a coalition fleet in sector 589, they're under heavy attack by a Romulan fleet that's all I got.

Ens. Carlson: Their thirteen light-years away at warp five point two sir.

Cmdr. Martin: They've might as well be forty light-years away from us Ensign.

Commander Martin sits in the Captain's Chair.
