Story:Starship Republic/Serpents of Yesterday/Chapter One

Episode 1x01: Serpent's of Yesterday

The Republic fires a spread of torpedoes at the Warship but the shields deflect the hits and absorbed them as the ship fires again hitting the primary hull causing an explosion.

On the Bridge the red lights are flashing as the console screens are fizzing from the jolts of the firing from the Klingon Warship, as Cadet Masonl looks at the tactical screen.

Shields down to 34% we've lost phasers Cadet Mason says as he looks at his console read out.

Cadet Martin turns to him.

Fire Photon Torpedoes full spread Cadet Martin says as she orders him to do so.

He nods and fires off a spread of torpedoes.

The Republic fires off a spread of torpedoes and it hits the D-7's forward shields as it fires off another volley and hits the port nacelle and causes a massive explosion and it vents drive plasma.

On the Bridge a huge shower of sparks erupts from the ceiling and sends the crew flying from where their at as coolant vents and lights flicker and debris is everywhere from the damage they sustained to the nacelle housing, as Cadet Martin gets up from where she's at and gets back to the chair as Lieutenant Wilson is adjusting the ships course.

Weapon's lock? Cadet Martin says as she looks at Lieutenant Mason at the weapons station.

He looks at the console and turns.

We've got a weapons lock ma'am Lieutenant Mason says as he turns to her.

She gets up from the chair.

Fire torpedoes Cadet Martin says as she looks at the viewer.

He presses the button on the console.

The Republic fires a spread of torpedoes that cut through the shields and destroys the D-7.

On the Bridge coolant is venting as the crew is happy about the destruction of the D-7 Cadet Martin sat down in the chair and presses the com panel.

Bridge to Engineering report? Cadet Martin says as she spoke into the com.

Bridge main energizers are out we've got a busted wing and we had plasma leaks from the core but we contained it and patching it up now, and the chief engineer is dead Cadet Tyson says over the com.

The other Cadets are shocked by this.

Understood Mr. Tyson get to work on repairing our warp drive Martin out Cadet Martin says as she deactivated the com.

Then the console beeps as Lieutenant Browing looks at the read out.

Ma'am we've got 3 Klingon Warships heading our way at Warp 7 Lieutenant Browning says as she reports from her console.

Then the com activates.

Bridge we've got warp drive the best I can give you is Warp 3 but not a bit more then that Cadet Tyson says over the com.

Cadet Martin looks at Lieutenant Wilson.

Thank you Tyson go Jenna Cadet Martin says as she looks at her at the helm.

Cadet Wilson inputs commands into the console and presses the warp button.

The Republic jumps to high warp.

In Sickbay the injured crew are being treated or covered after they died from their injuries as Cadet Martin walks over to Cadet Mitchell who is treating the wounded.

Doctor Mitchell walks over to her and treats her wound as Kelly looks at her.

How many did we lose? Kelly asked as she looks at her.

Cadet Mitchell looks at her.

34 including the senior staff in the first attack the chief medical officer was killed on deck 22 he's dead that makes me acting chief medical officer and the Captain wants to talk to you Doctor Mitchell says as she looks at her.

She walks over to Ramirez who is laying on the biobed about to die.

Cadet Martin I'm sorry for putting you and your team in the hot spot, as well as giving you this burden Captain Ramirez says as he looks at her.

Cadet Martin is confused by this.

Sir? Cadet Martin says as she looks at him.

He breaths and then speaks.

You're in command now get this ship get this crew home a-and tell my wife I-I l-love her Captain Ramirez says as he dies.

Cadet Martin looks at him and closes his eyes and puts the sheet over him as the ship shakes hard.

Then the com system activates. Cadet Martin report to the Bridge please Commander Sampson's voice says over the com.

Kelly gets up from the chair and leaves sickbay to head to the Bridge.

The Republic is struggling to escape General Chang's pursuit.

On the Bridge Cadet Martin walks out of the lift and sits in the chair after Commander Sampson goes back to his console.

Report Commander give me some good news Cadet Martin says as she's standing looking at the main viewer.

He looks at her and reports.

We've got bad guys behind us, something scary in front of us, and oh, warp drive could fail at any moment. How's Ramirez?" Cadet Sampson reports as he looks at her.

She turns to him.

"Dead. I'm in command." Cadet Martin says as she's still looking at the main viewer.

He goes back to his console.

"That was payback for my good news, wasn't it?" Cadet Sampson asked as he looks at her and then goes back to work on his console.

She sits in the chair and presses the com panel.

Engineering report why is my warp drive failing? Cadet Martin says as she spoke into the com.

In Engineering Cadet Tyson and half of the surviving Engineering staff are hard at work on the warp drive.

Captain we've got damaged relays and well it could fail at anytime we're working on it Engineering out Cadet Tyson says as he turns to the com off as a large explosion erupts from the top part of the Engineering section.

Someone help me put that fire out before it reaches the anti-matter injectors Cadet Tyson says as he heads off to put the fire out.

On the Bridge wires are hanging down from the ceiling as sparks rain down from behind the Captain's Chair, she gets up from it and looks at Lieutenant Browning.

Browning what's in front of us that is scary? Cadet Captain Martin says as she looks at her.

She looks into the science scanner.

It's a sector of space that's subjected to intense gravimetric shears it's the Lantaru sector that's where the Enterprise under the Command of Admiral Kirk encountered an older Vulcan science vessel that had taken control of the station and the Klingon vessels and destroyed the outpost and created subspace tears in the region we've started encountering the edge of the shears so far our forward shields are holding but as for warp drive that's another matter Lieutenant Browning says as she's looking at her scanner and then at the main viewer.

Before Cadet Martin could speak the ship shakes hard.

The Republic drops out of warp and heads into the sector with the Klingon Warships close behind her firing their weapons at the ship.
