Ext. SPACE, WARP FIELD (OPITCAL)

Archer is at high warp to Relvan IV.

TAYLOR'S (VO): ''Captain's Log Stardate 54546.4. The Archer is on course for Relvan IV to reinforce their defenses following the Dominion assault that took the lives of half a dozen officers, this is also a perfect time for Lieutenant Mason to see his former testing friends again.''

INT. Mess Hall

The crew is enjoying some much needed downtime after the mission to retake Deep Space Nine, as Jack is sitting at his usual table eating some breakfast and reading some letters from his parents and brother as KARA and SITO finished ordering their food and walks over to where he's sitting at.

MASON: (To the officers) Good morning girls.

Before they could eat their breakfast the klaxon blares.

TAYLOR (OC): All hands report to the Bridge.

The crew scramble to their stations.

The Archer drops out of warp as it approaches the system as a asteroid heads to the sun.

INT-BRIDGE

The red lights are flashing.

CARLSON (Conn Officer): (off her console) We've entered the Gatira System Captain.

Taylor gets up from her chair.

TAYLOR: Looks like a sun diver.

Sito is confused.

SITO: A Sun Diver?

CARLSON (Conn Officer): (to Sito) A comet that got caughtin the gravitational pull of a star. It basically makes a kamikaze dive until it's vaporized by the heat.

Martin gets up from his chair and joins Taylor.

MARTIN: (To Taylor) It's a interesting thing to see, (beat) when I was on the Galaxy we would watch the comet get torched by the heat.

Com beeps.

MASON (Surprised): (Off his console) Captain a signal is coming from the comet, (beat) bearing one-eight-five mark seven-five-three.

TAYLOR (Shocked): What, isolate the signal and open a channel.

Mason runs his fingers across his console.

MASON: Channel open.

Taylor looks at the viewer.

TAYLOR: Unidentified vessel, this is the U.S.S. Archer Captain Marcia Taylor in command do you acknowledge?

A few hours of silence then the viewer shows the bridge of the vessel.

PRIA (on viewer): This is Captain Pria Lavesque of the mining ship Horizon, I'm in trouble.

Camera closes up on both Taylor and Martin.
