Story:Star Trek: Archer/Small Victories/Act One

In Ops Captain Martin walks into Commander Ro's office as she looks at her.

My first officer says that you wanted to speak with me? Captain Martin says as she looks at Commander Ro.

She looks at her.

Ah, Captain Martin yes we picked up a distress call from one of our colonies, they reported being attacked by an unknown vessel since we've don't have any ship in the sector Starfleet has asked for the Archer to figure out what happened Commander Ro says as she looks at her.

Kelly looks at her.

If it's a massive Xindi-Suliban fleet? Captain Martin asked as she looks at her.

Ro looks at her.

Get out of there and warn Starfleet they'll dispatch a fleet to deal with them Commander Ro says as she looks at her.

Kelly looks at her nods and leaves.

The Archer powers up and undocks from the Station and leaps into warp speed.

In the briefing room the crew is hearing the cries for help from the colonist as the transmission fizzed out, Kelly shuts the com off and looks at Commander H'mepc, Lieutenant Mason, Lieutenant Wu, Lieutenant Mitchell, Lieutenant Commander Frye, and Doctor Horton.

That was all that Starfleet Command received from the colony they gone dark at 0700 hours this morning, now Starfleet has given us orders to proceed but if we come across a Xindi-Suliban fleet we're to move out and contact Starfleet they'll dispatch the 147th fleet Captain Martin says as she looks at the senior officers.

Lieutenant Mitchell looks at her.

My security teams are ready to repel borders Captain Lieutenant Mitchell says as she looks at Captain Martin.

She nods at her and looks at the others.

Dismissed Captain Martin says as she looks at them.

The Archer emerges from warp and approaches the planet.

The Bridge is at Red Alert as the crew are at their battle stations.

We're approaching Aldebaran III Lieutenant Wu says as she turns to Captain Martin.

She gets up from the chair.

Full sensor scans Mr. Mason survivors Captain Martin says as she looks at the viewer.

Lieutenant Mason looks at the console.

No survivors it looks like whoever did this didn't want anyone telling Starfleet who attacked them Lieutenant Mason says as he looks at Captain Martin.

Then Lieutenant Mitchell reports.

Captain I just ran a weapons scan and the energy signature is Borg Lieutenant Mitchell says as she looks at her console then at Captain Martin.

She's shocked by that as she looks at Commander H'mepc then at the viewer seeing the destruction of the colony.
