''Captain's log, stardate 6434.4. While chasing a Romulan vessel the Enterprise was hit by a shockwave from the self-destruct sequence of the vessel, and it knocked us into the Romulan Neutral Zone on the Romulan side of the zone and we're facing down a Romulan Warbird. Commander Smithfield has less than fifteen minutes to restore the Enterprise's weapons and shields or we'll be destroyed by the Romulan vessel.''

On the Bridge Captain Nelson turns to Lieutenant Rand.
