Int. Main Bridge (Situation Room)

Captain Taylor, Commander Martin, Lieutenant Junior Grade Mason, Ensign Carlson, Ensign Sutherland, Lieutenant Commander T'Shar, Lieutenant Commander Williams, and Doctor Carlson are around the table as their listing to the distress call from the Coalition Fleet fighting the Romulan forces then static.

Cmdr. Martin: That's all we got, so far all our hails have gone unanswered.

Capt. Taylor: How far are they?

Ens. Carlson: Their thirteen light-years away at warp five point two we could be there but without warp we're not gonna get there in time.

Capt. Taylor: Causality report Doctor how many?

Dr. Carlson: We've lost thirteen of the crew, twenty two injured, several critical.

Ltjg. Mason: We've got aft launchers and one forward launcher back on-line, we'll have Phase-Cannons and hullplating on-line in a few hours.

Capt. Taylor: What about Warp and Impulse engines?

Ltcmdr. Williams: We'll have Impulse in a few hours, but without those part that's all I can give you.

Capt. Taylor: Mr. Mason divert people from other sections to repair E Deck.

Ltjg. Mason: Uh, I'll be pulling people from other areas that are critical.

Capt. Taylor: I know Jack just get started when you can, Ensign Carlson resume our previous heading whenever we've got Impulse back on-line.

Ens. Carlson: Aye, Captain.

Ltcmdr. T'Shar: Maybe we should contact the Vulcan High Command I'm sure my people will be glad to help with the wounded.

Ens. Sutherland: Our subspace transceiver array is still off-line, I was only able to get the internal coms back on-line and as well I'm still working on the external com.

Capt. Taylor: Keep working on it Ensign, if there's not anything else then dismissed.

(The others leave)

Cmdr. Martin: You and I both know that we can't fight in this condition?

Capt. Taylor: Where do you think we can go Commander that the Romulans don't know about?

Cmdr. Martin: There's a class-9 nebula about an hour away from our current position.

Capt. Taylor: John you are suggesting that we hide?

Cmdr. Martin: It'll give us an hour to complete repairs.

Capt. Taylor: (Shakes her head) No I'm not ordering this crew to hide in the middle of this war.
