(Note: Episode credits fall over opening scenes)

In space dock the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 is being looked at by several worker bees and EV suit engineers, as voices of the station personnel can be heard and a Saladin-Class Destroyer is leaving the dry-dock on the otherside of the station as the U.S.S. Lexington parks next to the Enterprise dry-dock.

Inter. Deck 7 Transporter Room

In the Transporter Room the Transporter Chief is standing at the console as Lieutenant Commander Peter Kirk is waiting for the Commander to beam aboard and then the transporter chief inputs commands into the console and the Commander materializes onto the pad holding his bag and he walks down as he shook Commander Kirk's hand.

Ltcmdr. Kirk: Greetings sir I'm Lieutenant Commander Peter Kirk chief security/tactical officer at your service.

John smiles at the young officer.

Cmdr. Martin: Ah, Peter Kirk nephew of Commodore James T. Kirk please to meet you, was an ensign onboard this vessel's security team now leads the security team as chief security officer and handles the phasers and torpedoes please to meet you.

Commander Kirk looks at him.

Ltcmdr. Kirk: You read my service record sir?

Commander Martin pats the young officer on the back.

Cmdr. Martin: I made it my duty to learn about new officers I'm just getting to meet Commander, chief you can beam my bags to my quarters.

The transporter chief nods and gets to work on the console, as Commanders Martin and Kirk leave the transporter room.

The Lexington peels off from the Enterprise in space dock and heads away. (STOCK)

Inter. Main Bridge

The turbo-lift stops on the main bridge of the Enterprise and Commander Martin and Lieutenant Commander Kirk walk out of the lift and Martin is amazed by how the Bridge looks now and sees the Captain's Chair and looks at it, when Captain Taylor walks towards the chair and the Commander.

Capt. Taylor: Welcome aboard Commander Martin I see you've met Commander Kirk our chief security/tactical officer.

The Bridge light starts to flash red. An ear-splitting klaxon sounds, Captain Taylor turns towards Lieutenant Smith at the communications station.
