Klingon battlecruiser shoots at the Enterprise hitting the aft shield armor making it flicker.

On the bridge red lights flashing.

Shields down to 65% Lieutenant Mitchell says as he looks at his console.

Sparks erupt from the ceiling as the power hums down and Lieutenant Ro looks at the helm console and reports.

Our warp field's destabilizing, we're dropping to impulse Lieutenant Ro says as she looks at the helm console.

Typhuss hangs onto the Captain's chair as the ship shakes.

Return fire Captain Branson says as he looks at Lieutenant Mitchell.

Lieutenant Mitchell inputs commands into the console.

Enterprise moves to the right and fires several phaser beams hitting the port and starboard wings of the cruiser and an explosion erupts on the port wing as the ship warps out of the system.

On the bridge the crew are surprised by it.

They've left the system Lieutenant Mitchell says as he looks at the tactical console.

Both Typhuss and John look at each other in surprise.

Enterprise is at impulse.

In the Officer's mess a few crewmen from the Intrepid are eating as one of them sees a Klingon and then talks to his fellow officers.

You know I wished that Starfleet could of nuked the whole Klingon planet during the Federation-Klingon War of 2285 then we wouldn't worry about this and the Intrepid would still be here and helping us fight the coming battles says the young crewmen as he looks at his fellow Intrepid crewmates.

The Klingon crewmen gets up from the table and gives the young MACO a look and says my people would never attack an ally says the Klingon crewmen.

Ah well that's a lie because I lost 23 of my friends on board the Intrepid when one of your people's ships attacked us and you could be from the House of Duras to put an end to the Federation-Klingon Alliance says Major Parson as he looks at the Klingon.

And a bar fight insues as the Klingon crewmen punched the MACO and then others joined in and Lieutenant Mitchell taps he combadge as he's behind the bar treating Colonel Carter's head injury.

In the ready room Captain Branson and Captain Kira are talking about the fight.

Typhuss turns to him.
