She inputs commands into the console.

Ens. Sito: Captain I believe that was a Temporal Rift that we just encountered, here's the data on the Starfleet vessel USS Valiant (NCC-1707) Captain Jack Bishop in command.

Cmdr. Martin: I studied about the Valiant in the Academy, she's a consitution-Class Starship same as the USS Enterprise commanded by Kirk.

Capt. Taylor: Let's figure out how to get the ship back up and running, Commander Clarkson how long will it take to restore our main power grid?

Ltcmdr. Clarkson: I'd have to take a look at her systems Capt'n but I'll have teams working around the clock.

Capt. Taylor: On your way.

Ext. Space, Planet Orbit

Ares is nose to nose with the Valiant.

Int. Valiant Main Bridge

Capt. Bishop: Wonder what they're doing right now and why haven't they answered our hails yet, science analysis?

Ltcmdr. T'Vol: She's a Federation Starship but of different design, she's an Intrepid-Class Starship USS Ares NCC-7968.

Capt. Bishop: Lezza open a channel.

Cmdr. Kennedy: Channel Open

Capt. Bishop: Let's hope there's someone onboard.

Cut To: Ares Main Bridge, Red Alert

The Bridge crew is working on repairs to the damage that was done by the trip through the rift, then the com beeps as Ensign Sito walks up to her console and inputs commands into the console.

Ens. Sito: We're being hailed by the Starfleet vessel again Captain.

She nods and brings the transmission on the main viewer, the screen shows the bridge of the Valiant and Captain Bishop in his chair.

Capt. Bishop (main viewer): Ares I'm Captain Jack Bishop of the Federation Starship U.S.S. Valiant.

On the viewer Bishop and his crew looks confused.

Taylor and her crew are shocked by this.
