The Verity fires on the Enterprise hitting her Asgard shields making them flicker.

On the bridge the crew are thrown from their consoles as klaxons blare more.

STABLIZIE! Captain Martin shouts as he hangs onto the captain's chair's arm rests.

Lieutenant Johansson inputs commands into the helm station.

Aye, sir she's not responding! Lieutenant Johansson says as she's rapidly running her fingers over the helm station trying to stabilize the ship's orbit of the planet.

The ship corrects its orbit as the crew heads to their consoles as Commander McCabe chimes in.

Asgard shields are down to forty-one percent, damage to secondary command processors on decks twenty-one to twenty-five! Commander McCabe says as he looks at the tactical consoles read out.

The ship shakes hard again.

Full axis rotation to port! Fire all ventral phasers! Captain Martin shouts as the ship takes more hits.

Commander McCabe inputs commands into the tactical console.

Enterprise fires her ventral phasers at the Verity hitting her hull armor as the Sovereign-class vessel flies over it.

On the bridge Commander McCabe hits the console.

Minimal damage to the Verity and our shields are down another twelve percent Commander McCabe says as he looks at the console read out.

Then Sito chimes in.

Sir look Lieutenant Sito says as she points to the viewer.

The Verity leaps into warp.

What's her course? Captain Martin says as he looks at Lauren.

She checks the helm station.

The Federation-Romulan border Lieutenant Johansson says as she looks at her console.

He goes to the center chair.

PURSUIT COURSE! Captain Martin shouts.

She inputs commands into the helm station.

Enterprise goes into a great arch and leaps into warp.

On the Federation side of the border the Intrepid and Odyssey are awaiting to hear from the Enterprise.
