Story:Star Trek: Valiant/The Omega Directive/Prologue

The Valiant is on an assignment in Pegasus.

''Colonel's log stardate 55363.3. The Valiant is in Pegasus on an assignment there taking a break from battling the Der'kal Empire, we're currently exploring an inversion nebula so far nothing will be worse.''

In his quarters Will is continuing his log.

I miss my wife Thea and my daughter Julia but I know that Nyssa is keeping them safe and sound Will says as he's finishing his log.

On the bridge Commander Keller is sitting in the Captain's chair.

We're almost done with this mission and soon we can return home Commander Keller says as he looks at them.

Then the ship shakes and hums down.

Our engines have shut down Lieutenant Hakim says as he looks at the helm station.

Commander Keller looks at him.

What happened? Commander Keller says as he looks at him.

Lieutenant Hakim inputs commands into the helm.

Then the forward navigational scan 307 goes blank.

What the hell, I just lost all my sensor readings. The computer's bringing up some kind of message, but I can't access it. You'd better take a look at this.

It is on all the screens. A big blue greek Omega symbol.

I see it Commander Keller says as he looks at screens.

Hakim looks at him.

What do you think it is? Lieutenant Hakim says as he looks over at Commander Keller.

Keller shrugs his shoulders.

I'm not sure My command codes aren't working. The computer says I have insufficient clearance to access the message. We can't function like this. I'm going to get Jaden up here to trace the source Commander Keller says as he looks at him.

Then Colonel Tyson walks onto the bridge.

Don't do anything. I'll take care of this Colonel Tyson says as he walks over to one of the console..

He clears the symbol from the screens.

Send all sensor data about the particle wave to my ready room Colonel Tyson says as he looks at Lieutenant Sinclair.

Commander Keller looks at him.

Colonel what's going on? Commander Keller says as he looks at Colonel Tyson.

He looks at him.

I can't explain right now. Don't discuss any of this with the rest of the crew. I'll have further instructions for you soon Colonel Tyson says as he looks at the senior staff.

He enters his ready room.
