TEASER

FADE IN

EXT-CHIN'TOKA V

Flashes of weapons fire break the dark of night, camera pans to a building.

INT-FORWARD OPERATIONS BASE

A wounded Starfleet Officer is carried into the room as wounded are being treated or covered up after they died from their wounds as a dirtied up Lieutenant Mason helps an officer into the base and hands her off to the Medic.

MASON (to Medic) She has second to third degree burns on her shoulder, I treated them the best I could.

He hands the officer off to the medic as Colonel Tiki walks up to him.

TIKI Status Mister Mason?

Lieutenant Mason brings it up on the table.

MASON We were able to push them to this section here but more are incoming sir.

Tiki looks at the wounded and then at Mason.

TIKI (Sighs) I received word that we won't be getting reinforcements for a few more days, but General Martok has dispatched a squad of Klingons to us in a few months.

Mason isn't happy about that.

MASON (Sighs) Sir I was hoping to return to my duties as Chief of Security on the Archer as soon as we secured the planet!

He gets in Mason's face.

TIKI Too bad Lieutenant we're going to secure this planet till then make yourself at home.

He leaves as Mason isn't happy about he situation.
