Story:Starship Archer/The Invasion Part 1/Teaser

''The year is 2371 the Federation is enjoying peace time after the Borg Incursion of 2366-2367, and the botched battle of Wolf 359 but when Deep Space Nine Commander Benjamin Sisko makes first contact with a ruthless alien faction known as the Dominion in 2370. It appears that Peace time maybe too far away.....''

FADE IN

EXT-SPACE

In orbit around the founders homeworld a combined Romulan/Cardassian fleet approaches the planet and starts shooting up the planet, but wastes it's time due to the Founders leaving early due to a Shape-shifter agent disgused as a Romulan Colonel let's the Dominion known and a fleet of 1,254 Dominion fighters lay waste to the fleet. As com chatter is being heard from the ships as well as the Federation Starship USS Defiant as it saves Garak and Odo from certain death and then leaves the scene unchallenged by the Dominion.

A few years later.......

An Sovereign-Class Starship is approaching Deep Space 9 as we hear a Captain's Log.

TAYLOR (VO): ''Captain's Log Stardate 58993.5. We're approaching Federation/Bajoran Space Station Deep Space 9 to off load supplies and crew for the Station, as well as picking up new crew like my new first officer Commander John Martin.''

INT-CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM

Captain Taylor is looking over crew reports and ship status reports, when the doors chimed and she puts the padds down.

TAYLOR:(to Doors) Come.

The doors open and a young officer wearing a Starfleet Uniform with grey shoulder pattern and a red collar with three pips on the collar.

MARTIN (Stands at attention): Commander John Thomas Martin reporting for duty ma'am.

Taylor stands up.

TAYLOR (extending her hand) I'm Marcia Taylor your Commanding officer. (they shake hands) I read the service records on all new personnel on the trip out. Excellent academic record as Starfleet Academy, Commander.

Martin has a surprised look on his face.

MARTIN (Surprised): Marcia your in command?

She motions for him to sit down. He does so, looking at Taylor.

TAYLOR (Smiles): Surprised?

He leans forward.

MARTIN (Surprised, smiles): Yeah a little bit.

Over which we have heard a CHIME SOUND.

SITO (OC): Bridge to Taylor.

TAYLOR (Tapped combadge): Taylor here.

SITO (OC): Ma'am we're picking up a distress call from Starbase thirty-nine Sierra, (beat) their reporting a Romulan fleet is trying to cross into the Neutral Zone.

Both TAYLOR and MARTIN are shocked by this.
