EXT. SPACE
Camera is panning through space and then comes into focus a nebula of blue and green colors ( named the KASSAE NEBULA in the Kassae Sector just out side of the Sardah system)
As the camera starts to zoom in towards the nebula sounds of a star ship in the back ground rumble in and then comes into view.
Going from front to back approaching the nebula is the U.S.S. Olympia. Camera cuts to the front of the ship and zooms in on the Olympia's registry number NCC-76547.
(THE OLYMPIA IS A NOVA CLASS STAR SHIP)
INT.SHIP INTERIOR THROUGH TO THE BRIDGE
Like a ghost walking through walls, the camera goes up through the ship deck by deck about 7-8 decks and many people are moving around trying to get somewhere on the ship.
The camera makes through the final deck and is on the bridge. It goes in a circling view of the bridge and we see Commander Selas at comm. Science officer at his station Helmsman at the helm and the Captain standing off to the side at the end rail of comm. Looking towards the view screen where the nebula is coming into view.

FADE OUT AND END SCENE AND END OF TEASER
SCENE 2: MEETING WITH THE ADMIRAL
EXT. FADE IN FROM BLACK SCREEN AND WHITE LETTERED
STAR DATE 142700.12 ( 2465 )
A personnel log is being entered during opening scenes of New York City
AERIALSOF NEW YORK CITY MAJOR LAND MARKS
AIR FLIERS( new in Star Trek ) and Runabouts are flying all over the city.
Once the log is almost over we begin to zoom in on and get right into an apartment in the west side of the island in a building 64 floors up where Marcus is rushing around the apartment trying to get ready as fast as possible.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Computer begin Personnel Log:Star Date 142700.14
I’m getting ready to head to Star Fleet Command Headquarters in San Fransisco to get my new orders and my new ship from Rear Admiral Harry Kim. Me and Harry go back a long ways since I served with him as a lieutenant on the U.S.S. Yamamoto, and we have been working together since the Battle of Sardah two years ago. A battle in which I took command of the U.S.S. Olympia after an attack from the Gorn that killed Captain Mcgovern and responding to a distress signal in the Sardah system which came from a Klingon battle cruiser that was also under attack. In the subsequent battle we manage to save the Klingon ship and fight off the Gorn while nearly ripping the ship apart. The Klingon ship was captained by the Chancellor himself Kri’jok. In gratitude, he requested our presence on board the I.K.S. MARTOK for and old fashion Klingon victory feast and I can tell you this Klingon blood wine does not agree with me at all. Since then the Klingon and Federation war has been under a flag of truce and a treaty has been in the works to solve our problems peacefully.
Kri’jok and I have become good friends and allies in building this treaty and we are on the verge of a momentous occasion. Admiral Kim has called me to come in so he can issue my first orders and my new ship, which has been very difficult to find out which one I'm getting. I have been asked to attend the final negotiations and to escort the Chancellor to the tready signing at Khitomer. This will be the the most important day in my Star Fleet career.
End Personnel log.
INT. MARCUS N.Y.C. QUARTERS

I bet this is an amazing ship.
COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES
I'm itching to get started..
ADMIRAL KIM
I bet you all are but first we must discuss some sensitive information that puts your first mission in jeopardy.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Problems Admiral?
ADMIRAL KIM
Big ones. U.S.S. Enterprise come in.

ALL 4 OFFICERS GET BEAMED OUT
SCENE 5: 1st mission
INT. ENTERPRISE-G BRIDGE
They all appear to dematerialize on the bridge of the Enterprise. Marcus looks around in amazement and all of the crew looks around
Marcus walks through slowly and takes it all in and takes a deep breath with closed eyes as people are walking around getting the ship ready for launch.
Marcus notices that they are moving quite quickly as there is a rush to get it done.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Admiral, what is going on here? It's looks like everyone is in a hurry.
ADMIRAL KIM
They are Captain, may I see you in the ready room.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Aye, Sir.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Gates start getting familiar with the ship,it looks like your going to stay on the ship.
COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES
But Captain all my stuff is back on Earth.
ADMIRAL KIM
Commander, I had all your belongings transferred to the Rhine before we left it should be in your quarters on DECK 3.
COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES
That was convenient.( shake his head in annoyance)
Admiral Kim and Marcus walk towards the ready room off to the side of the bridge
INT. READY ROOM
The doors open as they walk through Marcus walks in as looks around at the view.
Ready room has a tactical forward view of space, beautiful furniture and plaques of ships and models named Enterprise starting from the first one in the 20th century that was launched in 1980's.
ADMIRAL KIM
How do you like your new ship ?
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
It's overwhelming Sir.
ADMIRAL KIM
Captain Gentri said the same thing when he took command of Columbia, 2 weeks ago.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
So what is going on Admiral
ADMIRAL KIM
We have a major problem Captain, after our meeting this morning i got a communicate from Chancellor Kri'jok. The Klingon home world, Quo'nos was bombarded.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
WHAT??? (shocked as he was sitting down in his chair)Who was it??
ADMIRAL KIM
Us.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
O.K. Now why would we attack the Klingon's when we are about to sign a peace tready. It does not make any sense Admiral.
ADMIRAL KIM
He showed me one of their star base recordings of the attack and it was federation ships, but i can't confirm who they are, I assured Kri'jok that we did not attack him, but he is not going for it he wants to start a war. And the remaining Klingon High Council is calling for a retaliation.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
This is great...all that work for nothing.
ADMIRAL KIM
Not quite Captain.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
This is gonna get better isn't it.
ADMIRAL KIM
Yes. The Chancellor agreed that for the prospect of peace he will hold any actions till it is determined that the Federation is behind the attack. So your mission is to go to Quo'nos and investigate the attack. The chancellor requested that you be the one to investigate as your the only one that no Klingon will attack.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
After this I wouldn't be so sure.
ADMIRAL KIM
The Chancellor vouched for your safety and it took him a while to convince the High Council. But he seems to be genuine
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Well i guess it's off to Quo'nos. When do i leave?
ADMIRAL KIM
Immediately.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
But my crew they are not aboard.
ADMIRAL KIM
After the communications. I contacted your whole crew, they are all aboard with the exception of Lt. Commander Selas. You will Rendezvous with her on Andoria.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
I will not let you down Admiral.
ADMIRAL KIM
I wish you had more time to get acquainted with your new ship, but you must go now.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Understood Sir. I will keep you informed.
ADMIRAL KIM
Godspeed Captain.

You hear Marcus putting in his first log during a fade in midway through the log we come to the EXT. of the Enterprise at high warp and we focus in on the captain sitting in his chair with the log coming to an end.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
(VOICE OVER)
Captain's first log star date Feb 3 2451, I have just taken command of the Enterprise andI can't seem to shake our current mission out of my mind. We are in route to Andoria to pick up Selas, but the bigger issue lays ahead at Quo'nos. Is it possible that a rouge element in the Federation is trying to destroy this fragile peace here or are we being framed. Either way this could put 2 years of work I put in, in jeopardy and the peace between these two powers is again at an end.
ENSIGN WAFFA

Captain here. What is it Hemos.
ENSIGN WAFFA
Sorry to disturb you Captain but i think you better come up here. We are detecting some very strange reading approaching the Archanis Sector.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Have Ni'val run the reading against the database, I'll be right up. Captain out.
INT. TO THE BRIDGE
The captain wipes his face and looks at the others and makes a quirky comment and begin to get up and walk out. They walk to the lift and tells it to go to the bridge. As they arrive the bridge is alive with movement as the captain step off the bridge and says to go to yellow alert.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Go to Yellow alert. Nival report.
LIEUTENANT NI'VAL
Captain i am detecting very high levels of tetryon particals just inside the Archanis Sector.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Is it a cloaked ship??
LIEUTENANT NI'VAL
I don't believe it is one cloaked ship. The levels are 100 times bigger.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
So what is it?
LIEUTENANT NI'VAL
With the available data sir, i can not come to a conclusion.
As he looks to Gates hope to hear some good wisdom from but gets nothing. He makes a decision.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
I'm not taking any chances. Go to Red Alert... put shields and weapons on stand-by.
COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES
(whispers to him)
Sir we will be entering Klingon space. Shouldn't we raise the shields?
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
No. Just get everyone to battle stations and wait for my command. Under no circumstances are we to look aggressive.
ENSIGN WAFFA

INT. CAM SHOT OF MARCUS
Marcus is shocked and the faces of the other bridge officers come into view and same thing looks of shock and fear.
COMMANDER SELAS
Sir 3 more ships(interrupts herself) sir 5,12. Sir it looks like an armada is decloaking out there.
COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES
And you don't want to look aggressive. What the hell is going out here.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
This is an invasion force Gates.
The crew watches in aw at the Armada decloaking and the response the Captain made.
THIS CAN BE THE END OF THE FIRST PART OF A TWO PART EPISODE IF NEEDED.

GENERAL JE'VAT
Good day Captain, I am General Je'vat of the Klingon defense forces. I've been expecting you.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Good day General, if this is an escort to Quo'nos, it sure is impressive...
GENERAL JE'VAT
(smirks) My brother Ambassador General Alexander will beam aboard your ship momentarily...Ka'pla.
View screen goes off and Marcus looks at GATES with surprise.
COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES
That was short.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
(NODS IN SILENCE)Klingon bravado it is antaste.
INT. ARRIVAL OF THE AMBASSADOR
A beat later in the turbo lift bay to the right of Selas someone energizes on to the bridge. A big an imposing figure materializes from the energy beam a Klingon Dressed in Imperial Ambassador garb with the emblem of the House of Martok on his right lapel.
He takes a long look around as though is was a long time since he has been on this ship and takes a deep breath as the captain greets him.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Welcome aboard Ambassador.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
(in a very load voice) this is one fine ship Captain. Far more impressive then my fathers old ship was.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Yes it is Ambassador.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
Please call me Alexander. I never cared for titles.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
What is going on here?
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
I will be accompanying you all the way to Quo'nos.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Selas, please prepare quarters for the Ambassador.
COMMANDER SELAS

INT. THE BRIDGE - CONTINUOUS
Selas and Alexander begin to leave the bridge after the acknowledgment of the meeting and Marcus begins to walk towards his ready room. As the turbo lift doors close Marcus stops and turns to Gates and tells him to do something.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Gates, contact Star Fleet in a coded transmission and tell them the situation on the Archanis line.
COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES
Are you expecting an attack.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
if this mission does not succeed we will be at war. Gates get it done and come to the briefing at 15:00
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS

Doctor Jortal please report to my ready room.
SUBLT. JORTAL

CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS

SUBLT. JORTAL
On my way.
Marcus continues on to his ready room.
Fade out to next the scene.
Scene 8: THE MEETING WITH ALEXANDER
INT. CONFERENCE ROOM
Camera fades in on Marcus and 1st officer Gates are standing by the replicator in the conference room waiting for Alexander to walk in. They both order something to drink. As they get their drinks and get ready to sit down Alexander comes in with his loud ways and greets the Captain.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
What a fine ship Captain.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
That it is. Can i offer you a Ractajino.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
Ah... that would be good Captain. A hot ractajino will soothe the warriors soul.(both laugh). You must be wondering why there are so many ships at the border of Federation space.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Yes. That has been on my mind.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
Well you were wise to contact your Star Fleet and warn them.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
(upset tone)
What!!! Why would Kri'jok call for me if he is going to attack.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
(with a sound of skepticism)
You don't understand, Captain. This is not an attack, not just yet.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
So make me understand, you have my complete attention, Ambassador.
The ambassador gets up and begins to walk around and explain himself.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
The Klingon High Council is demanding a retaliation against those who attacked the heart of the Empire, and at this time it seems its the Federation. They are tried of more Federation promises, They want action.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
They must understand that the Federation can't possibly be behind this.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
The recorders don't lie my friend, it is Federation ships that attacked us and the High Council wants revenge.But you still have a friend and Kri'jok does not believe that the Federation is behind the attack and would not intentionally jeopardize the tready. He believes something is a foot here.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
O.K. so you believe this is decention amongst your people?
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
There are 12 Great Houses.One of which is running the government. the House of Noggra is loyal to us. the other 8 are split with the leadership and amongst themselves. But the House of Duras lead by Tre'gor is still trying to regain the chancellorship and is not trust worthy.(says the final part in disgust.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
That is 11 what about the last one.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
The House of Rotaan has shown some loyalty to Tre'gor, but they are an upstart House that swelled in rank since the Gorn Rebellion and finds its self in a position of strength. But Kri'jok believes Tre'gor is trying to take over the Empire.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
So if we find out who is trying to plunge our to governments back into war, the High Council will turn their back on them.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
Exactly. I believethose ship were in control of dishonorable men. So we must move quickly. Because Tre'gor is pushing to attack now.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
I guess you think its Tre'gor.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
I know it is, I just can't prove it ... not yet.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
I hear some hatred towards Tre'gor.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
Yes (with a long hiss) His family had some run ins with my father for a long time.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
and with the Federation too.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
Once we get to Quo'nos expect some abrasive attitudes towards you.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
I will
Fade out.
SCENE 9: WELCOME TO QUO'NOS
EXT. QUONUS - ESTABLISHING SHOT
The planet of Quo'nos fades into view in all its splendor. The Enterprise is now in orbit circling the planet and the view goes down to the planet in front of the High Council Building semi destroyed and smoke still rising in the background. The view shifts to the inside of the chamber where the away team of Alexander, Marcus, Gates and Selas materializes just in front of the chamber doors. Marcus takes a look around at the destroyed state of the building and node in disappointment. Alexander asks them to follow him through the doors and into the Council chamber where the council members are all meeting and they begin to scream and utter traitors and Klingon curses.
CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK
(stands and screams)
Silence.
A COUPLE of the council members steps forward and scream back at the chancellor.
GENERAL TRE'GOR
(pointing at Kri'jok)
You dishonor us by bringing Federation traitors to our Hall.
CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK
(slips out his knife)
Do you wish to challenge me Tre'gor
GENERAL TRE'GOR
(backs down and begins to leave to the chamber)
AHGH...
We see four members of the High Council walk out in disgust 2 of which is Tre'gor and Rotaan. Marcus turns to Alexander and makes a whispering remark.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
(whispers)
I guess we won't be getting ant cooperation from them.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
(smirks back)
Never thought we would.
CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK
(begins to slip his knife back)
Does anyone else want to challenge me.(a beat) Good. Now let get down to business, I want everyone left in this hall to assist the General and Captain Marcus in this investigation.
A cold silence come over the room due to the request of the Chancellor.
CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK
Captain Marcus your precious Federation shall hear the cries of our fallen warriors and shall fall to Empire for this treachery.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
(puzzled look)
Chancellor...(interrupted)
CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK
The only reason why the Federation is not smothering in ruins right now is because of our friendship.
The chancellor gets off his throned pedestal and begins to walk towards Alexander and Marcus.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
We extend our deepest condolences towards your people chancellor.
CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK
My people will vindicate themselves on the battle field.
The Chancellor walks closer to Marcus and whispers into his ear.
CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK
You must work quickly if this peace is to continue. You have until 22:00 tomorrow to find the traitors among us.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
(whispers back)
Then what.
CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK
War my friend. I will have no choice but to attack the Federation and reclaim the Archanis and Kassae sectors.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
(speechless)
Marcus looks at Gates and Selas in disbelief at the new developments, but looks back at Kri'jok with a determined look that he will find those responsible and bring them to justice.
FADE OUT
scene 10: the investigation
EXT. SPACE - RE-ESTABLISHING SHOT
In orbit of Quo'nus the Enterprise flies into the shot after (a beat) the camera switches to the ground and zooms in on the Great Hall with the smoke slowly subsiding.
INT. KLINGON COUNCIL CHAMBER
Selas is staring at the Klingon computer screen watching the bombardment and the data collected over and over again and is beginning to get frustrated while Marcus, Gates and Alexander continue to go over the bombardment on the main screen in silence and then the Captain speaks.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
I can't believe it. Those ships are Federation but it can't be us that did this. It just can't.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
(gets very angry)
We have been at this for 2 hour and we have nothing!!!
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
We never thou...(interrupted)
COMMANDER SELAS
Captain i think i have something.
Marcus, Alexander and Gates speak in unison. and sayWHAT!!!
COMMANDER SELAS
Looking at the film from a distance, it looks like the federation attacked Quo'nus.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
We know that already.
COMMANDER SELAS
Now watch this. Computer put time index 1153.3 on main screen.
they are all looking at the main screen intensely waiting for a revelation.
COMMANDER SELAS
Computer magnify grid 37...magnify again...I had Ni'val run the registry numbers of all the ships and we got something of interest.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Continue...
COMMANDER SELAS
One of those ships in the Constitution and the other is the Baleraphone.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
O.K. (A BEAT) Wait the Constitution is not due back for 6 months. They are on exploratory mission in Sector 2835 in the Beta Quadrant.
COMMANDER SELAS
True, But if you look closely to the ships hull you will find something missing.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
(angered at the long query)
What is it!!!
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
The ship is the Constitution, But it is not Captain Maxwell's ship.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
How do you know that!!!
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Maxwell's ship is a Constellation class ship and that is not. What is the decommission date of that ship.
COMMANDER SELAS
Star date 43989.1 at Wolf 359.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
The battle with the Borg.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
Are you telling me that the Borg is behind this.
COMMANDER SELAS

CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS

Wolf 359. One of the biggest battles against the Borg. So many dead.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
What are we going to be looking for?
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
(barks an order to Ni'val but answers Alexander and walk towards Ni'val)
Lieutenant scan the area, we will match the Star Fleet manifest on what was abandoned here 90 years ago.
EXT. SPACE - THE DEBRIS FIELD
The Enterprise flies by debris and slows to a Comms Beacon.
INT. THE BRIDGE
LIEUTENANT NI'VAL

CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
All stop...What is it Commander.
COMMANDER SELAS
There is 5 ships missing from the debris field.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Which ships...
COMMANDER SELAS
Sir, it is the Checkov, the Hood, the Saratoga, the Constitution and the Baleraphone. 4 of the ship match the recording of the bombardment on Quo'nus.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
We know where the ships came from, now who did it and where was that last ship?
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
We'll get to it Ambassador.
LT. COMMANDER BENJAMIN PRATT
We got a problem Captain.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
What is it Pratt.
LT. COMMANDER BENJAMIN PRATT
(shocked)
Most of the ships here have been stripped of essential systems all of which can make any one of these ship operational. But there is one problem, the warp cores were removed from all the ships so it would not be a Star Fleet warp signature that we will be looking for.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
Can't you get a warp core from the black market?
LT. COMMANDER BENJAMIN PRATT
No Ambassador. Star Fleet warp cores are under strict security measures at Utopia Planitia. We have never lost one.
COMMANDER SELAS
Sir i ran a diagnostic on the Comms Beacon and found some files deleted and some alterations to the sensors.
COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES
So what do we do now.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
I do not know.
LT. COMMANDER BENJAMIN PRATT
Sir all weapons systems are missing too. Who ever it was knew there way around Star Fleet systems.
LIEUTENANT NI'VAL
(with emergency)
Captain I'm detecting a faint signal from the end of the field. It seems to be personnel beacons.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
All stop shut down all systems except life support put the core and weapons on stand by... NOW!!!
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
What is going on.
LIEUTENANT NI'VAL
Sir i have 6 separate signals now and they are coming from the u.s.s. Rushmore
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
(whispers to himself then goes loud)
We got you now. Can you tell who they are.
LIEUTENANT NI'VAL
No sir they do have a jamming signal in place, but it is not a good one.
COMMANDER SELAS
Sir with all essential systems down we are a sitting duck in human terms.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS

scene 12: u.s.s . Rushmore
INT. CORRIDOR OF THE RUSHMORE
THE AWAY TEAM IS MARCUS, SELAS, JORTAL, ALEXANDER, NI'VAL AND TWO SECURITY OFFICERS.
As the away team materializes in the corridor,near engineering, they see an old derelict from the past semi destroyed beams down all over and conduits hanging around.
They move slowly towards a light in front of them, slowly moving in military fashion they begin to hear faint voices and sound of banging. Marcus signals his team to move to the left of engineering as he and Alexander taking out his bath'let, take the right and the lead. As they get closer they start to see shadows of the people on the ship.
COMPUTER VOICE
Di lithium chamber up to 65% and rising.

CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS

AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO

Wait someone else is here...i can smell them.(growls)
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
(pulls back from attacking)
WHO!!!
Two more people walk into the room and they are Klingon. No emblems or signs to which house they belong to and they are angry.
KLINGON SOLDIER 1
What is your progress Viceroy.
REMAN VICEROY
We are having set backs.
KLINGON SOLDIER 2
Set backs!!! we must be ready to attack the armada in 3 hours and you are having set backs.
KLINGON SOLDIER 1
We already have 5 ship. And it looks like Kri'jok will attack the Federation anyway.
Alexander can no longer contain himself and charges towards the Klingon's
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
ALEXANDER!!!
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
TREACHEROUS PA'TAKS...
KLINGON SOLDIER 1
Ah...the son of Worf has come to watch his glorious peace with the Federation crumble to dust.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
Who are you, so i can throw your dead carcass on the Council floor in disgrace and dishonor
KLINGON SOLDIER 2
You will never leave here alive.
INT. RUSHMORE'S ENGINEERING ROOM FIGHT
Seams and growls and a fight breaks out as there bath'lets meet.
Marcus and company come out shooting killing everyone else and captures the Viceroy.
but Alexander is taking on both Klingon's with tremendous vigor. both yelling insults at each other as ALEXANDER makes a killing blow to one Marcus seams out at him.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Ambassador we need him alive.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
(ignores Marcus)
It will be your head hanging in the Hall of Hero's by my hand.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
NO!!!
Alexander swings is bath'let and strikes his opponent in his shoulder instead of his neck and Alexander gets stabbed in the process. Selas shoots and stuns the Klingon.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
(seams in pain)
But i will wait for your dishonor to be exposed.
Both Klingon's fall and Marcus and Jortal run to Alexander's aid and check him, while Selas and Ni'val take the injured and near dead Klingon into custody.
SUBLT. JORTAL

Jortal and the Klingon's dematerialize out.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS

Ni'val and the captain begin to walk towards the core and examines it.
LIEUTENANT NI'VAL
Fascinating...
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
What is it lieutenant.
LIEUTENANT NI'VAL
It looks like they were trying to combine Reman technology to Federation systems to stabilize the core.
COMMANDER SELAS
I can confirm, we now have a signature to detect the ships.
LIEUTENANT NI'VAL
more important then that is we can detect them while cloaked.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
How!!!
LIEUTENANT NI'VAL
The core is made up of Di lithium crystalsencased in Kimosite.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Kimosite...is that illegal and highly explosive.
LIEUTENANT NI'VAL
Yes it is, But the Reman's managed to stabilize the Kimosite's explosive properties and fuse it with dilithium...fascinating.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
What is it now.
LIEUTENANT NI'VAL
This type of Kimosite had only been theorized never implemented.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Enterprise come in
COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES
Gates here.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS

COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES

CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
It will be a long year if we don't get to Kri'jok in time.
COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES
I was afraid you would say that.
They both agree and begin to walk towards sick bay again.
a beat later...
The doors to sick bay slide open and in walks Marcus and Gates and we see Jortal working on the Klingon with great effort with to aides.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS

SUBLT. JORTAL
Klingon anatomy is very difficult to work with but i have something the might work to save him
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Do it we need him alive.
SUBLT. JORTAL

Marcus looks over his shoulder and see Alexander trying to get up and the three rush over to him.
SUBLT. JORTAL

AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO

I am a warrior, we must deal with the pain (continues to hold his side)
SUBLT. JORTAL

Not if the pain kills you.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
I never thought i would ever say this, but have beautiful eyes for a Romulan (smirks)
SUBLT. JORTAL
(shrugs him off after the comment)
I think the pain is dulling his wits.
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO

Gates walks in from the Medical brig angry.
COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES

AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
Don't worry my human friend he doesn't need too.
Both Marcus and Gates look at him.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS

COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES

Gates whispers to him about a strange elevation of tetryon particals since they left Wolf 359 and it has sporadically shown up on sensors and the captain advices he to keep an eye on it and find out what it is and get Omega Squadron ready and then he leaves with his guests.
INT. SICK BAY

INT. THE BRIDGE
They all enter the bridge but the prisoners remain in the turbo lift bay.
COMMANDER SELAS
Sir 2 Klingon vorcha class ships De cloaking off the port bow and are hailing us.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Put them both on screen.
The view screen lights up with Tre'gor and Rotaan.
GENERAL TRE'GOR

CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK
No. But one of you have betrayed the Empire.
GENERAL TRE'GOR
What!!! show me proof of this betrayal.
GENERAL ROTAAN
More Federation lies.
CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK

The Captain turns to Gates and waves in the prisoners.
As the prisoners walk in Tre'gor is infuriated and Rotaan is shocked at what has transpired.
GENERAL TRE'GOR
A Klingon conspiring with a worthless Reman. speak who are you if you are truly Klingon.

COMMANDER SELAS

COMMANDER SELAS
Sir the ship are moving off and cloaking.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS

COMMANDER SELAS

As the battle ends Tre'gor enters from the turbo lift angry.
GENERAL TRE'GOR
Rotaan will pay for his treachery.
CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK

GENERAL TRE'GOR
Rotaan is a traitor the fleet will not follow him
CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK

COMMANDER SELAS
Sir the bird of prey just exploded.
they all look at each other in disbelief.
CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK
(walks towards Tre'gor)
General Tre'gor son of J'mpok, there has been a power struggle coming for years, our only hope is peace with the Federation so we can heal our people and set the Empire back on course, it is time you except me as Chancellor for the good of the Empire and join me to destroy our enemies.
GENERAL TRE'GOR
It will be glorious... for the good of the Empire.( agrees and shakes hand as thou they are brothers).
AMBASSADOR GENERAL ALEXANDER ROZEHNKO
(walks over at the same time and put his hand on Tre'gor shoulder)
For the Empire.
COMMANDER SELAS

CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Helm set a course maximum warp. Pratt come in.
LT. COMMANDER BENJAMIN PRATT
Pratt here.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
I need more warp speed.
LT. COMMANDER BENJAMIN PRATT
But the Metaphasic shields have not been installed yet.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Find a way we need to get to the Archanis system before the war breaks out.
LT. COMMANDER BENJAMIN PRATT
I may be able to divert power from the isolinier dish. but that will get you to warp 10.5
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Do it.
COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES
Captain i have an idea.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
What is it.
COMMANDER JONATHAN GATES
Omega Squadron's ships have there metaphasic shields operational. Deploy themto warn Star Fleet.

CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK
What about Khitomer.
CAPTAIN SAMUEL L MARCUS
Khitomer was the historic site of the first peace tready. It is time we chose a new site and Archanis would be perfect. We did come together here 2 years ago and we are here now in peace.
CHANCELLOR KRI'JOK
(BIG LAUGH)
Once again my friend you are right. Khitomer was the past and that is where it will stay. Here where warriors came together and fought to preserve the peace, is where we will make the peace. There shall be a song written about this day and it will be in your honor Captain.
