Act Two

Fade In

Ext. Space, Planet Orbit

Ares and Valiant are next to each other above the planet.

Int. Briefing Room

Captain Taylor walks around the staff as she's trying to grasp what Captain Bishop said to her, as she then turns to her senior staff sitting around the table.

Capt. Taylor: So, comments on what Captain Bishop just said?

Chief of Security chimes in.

Ltjg. Crusher: Captain this could be a Cardassian trick, from what I read from Captain Sisko's logs on their mission to the Gamma Quadrant in 2371 they were captured by the Dominion and were subjected to a holographic simulation and they're probably wanting our fleet deployment and tactical information.

Commander Martin chimed in as well.

Cmdr. Martin: If this was a Cardassian trick it's a pretty dull one, seeing how Captain Bishop was surprised when we asked him about any Cardassian Warships in the area.

Capt. Taylor: Doctor casuality report?

Doctor Carlson: We've got 14 wounded just scraps and bruises from our trip through the rift, I've got the EMH giving me a hand with the wound that's coming in.

Capt. Taylor: Mr. Clarkson what's our engine status?

Ltcmdr. Clarkson: I've got five teams working on our warp and impulse engines we should have Impulse in about 13 hours.

Capt. Taylor: Sito keep long range scans for any sign of Klingon or Romulan vessels cause in this time we're at war with the Klingons and the Romulans are hitting us.

Ens. Sito: Aye, Captain.

Capt. Taylor: What about that disturbance that we encountered if it was a temporal rift we need to get it back so we can go home, Ensign Sito just keep an eye out for any enemy vessels dismissed.

Cut To: Main Bridge, red alert

The senior staff walks onto the Bridge and assume their posts as Sito looks at her console.

Ens. Sito: Picking up three more Federation Starships Exeter, Ajaxs, and Challenger have joined the Valiant's right and left flanks.

Cmdr. Martin: Hmm, they must be prepping for an attack of some sort?

Ens. Sito: Captain sensors are picking several Alien warships heading our way.

Captain Taylor looks at Commander Martin.

Ext. Space, Planet orbit

An Armada of Suclon Warships are heading to the colony planet.
