Story:Star Trek: Archer/Rescue/Act Two

ACT TWO

FADE IN

EXT-SPACE

The Archer and Melbourne are next to each other.

INT-CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM

Captain Taylor is sitting at her desk reviewing crew and ship status reports as well as reviewing Captain Cooper's Starfleet service record, when the doors chimed.

CAPT. TAYLOR Come.

The doors opened and Commander Martin walks into the ready room holding a PADD.

CMDR. MARTIN (re: PADD) A full damage report on the Melbourne from Commander Williams.

She looks at it.

CAPT. TAYLOR (To Martin) How long will it take?

He sits in the chair and shrugs his shoulders.

CMDR. MARTIN. According to her it will take a Starbase to repair most of her key systems but other then that she'll be operational in an hour, (beat) I had T'Lar run a scan on the Melbourne's hullplating.

CAPT. TAYLOR What did she find out?

He leans forward.

CMDR. MARTIN (Sighs) The energy burst that they were hit with matches the one that hit us.

She tenses up after hearing that.
