USS Discovery is on patrol with her task force of two Saber-Class vessels.

''Captain's Log Stardate 679104.3. Captain Gabriel Lorca in command the Discovery is currently on patrol keeping an eye out for any sign of Terran Assault fleets making an appearance so far no sign of them.''

On the Bridge Captain Lorca is sitting in the Captain's Chair looking at the viewer and then at a padd and hands it back to an Ensign, when his ops officer chimes in.

Captain Starfleet is wanting to know what our ETA is to Starbase 117 Lieutenant Oweosekun says as she turns to Captain Lorca.

He gets up from the Captain's Chair and turns to Lieutenant Detmer.

Lieutenant? Captain Lorca says as he looks at her.

She inputs commands into the conn station and reports.

We're 1:23:00 minutes away from Starbase 117 sir Lieutenant Detmer says as she reports to Captain Lorca.

He looks at Oweosekun.

Send that ETA to Starfleet Lieutenant Captain Lorca says as he looks at Lieutenant Oweosekun.

She nods and sends the transmission.

Then all of the sudden the ship jolts hard as the red lights flash and klaxons blare, as Captain Lorca goes to his Captain's Chair and turns to Lieutenant Landry.

Landry report? Captain Lorca says as he looks at her.

She inputs commands into the console.

Five Galaxy-Class Terran Warships bearing one-eight-three mark fourteen Lieutenant Landry says as she reports.

Lorca turns to her.

Ready Phasers and load forward torpedo launchers, Oweosekun have our escorts run interference Captain Lorca says as he looks at her then turns to Lieutenant Oweosekun.

They both comply with their orders then a bright flash.

Meanwhile at Starbase 117 Admiral Cornwell is looking at the tactical map showing the battles between the Federation fleet and Terran Empire fleets, when an Ensign walks into the tactical room.

Admiral we've received a distress call from the Discovery, they were ambushed by five Galaxy-Class Warships and we lost contact with them the Ensign says as he looks at her.

Cornwell thinking send ships to their last known location we've got to keep that sector protected Admiral Cornwell says as she's not looking at the Ensign.

He nods and leaves the tactical room.
