Story:Star Trek: Helena/Shakedown Cruise/Teaser

''The year is 2371 the Federation is enjoying much needed peacetime and slow recovery from the massacre at Wolf 359 during the Borg Incursion of 2366-2367, then a year ago Deep Space 9 Commander Benjamin Sisko and his crew encountered an alien faction known as the Dominion. After the destruction of the Federation Starship USS Odyssey, Starfleet is beginning to take the Dominion threat very seriously but what will their plan be to defend against this new foe.....''

The scene is 'unreal' with slanted camera angle and slightly out of focus. It is Red alert and John is running with his Compression. A badly injured crewman reaches out for help. The bridge crew are dead. A group of Borg drones are assimilating the remaining crew. John enters the bridge to see dead civilians at the stations instead of Federation personnel.)

Int. Commander Martin's Quarters

Cmdr. Martin: Computer lights full loomination, herbal tea hot.

He sits on the bed as a young Bajoran woman cuddles with him.

Kira: Same dream?

Martin turns to Kira and nods.

Cmdr. Martin: Yeah it's been 6 years since Wolf 359 and I still have that same dream of the Lexington facing down the Cube after the first and second strike failed, losing people I graduated from the Academy with and then being thrown into the escape pod by the Captain and watching the Lexington explode still haunt me to this day.

Kira lays her head on his shoulder rubbing his arm.

Kira: John you've got to get some sleep you've got your first time being first officer of the USS Helena she'll arrive first thing in the morning.

He smiles at her.

John: What would I do without you?

She snickers a bit.

Kira: Probably go crazy (kisses his cheek)

John snickers a bit.

John: True

They kiss as John turns to the lights off.
