EXT-FEDERATION-KLINGON NEUTRAL ZONE BORDER, AJILON SYSTEM
[Camera pans out from the systems sun as it shows the planetary system and Ajildn IV as we see the U.S.S. Yorktown in orbit of the fourth planet.]
CAPT. SMITH'S [voice over]: Captain's Log Stardate 7058.9, The Yorktown has been orbiting Ajilon IV for the past few weeks, to make sure the planet isn't going to be attacked by Klingons or Romulans since they're allied together
EXT-AJILON IV SURFACE, MAIN COLONY, DAY
[A shot of the colony as kids are playing and having fun enjoying the daytime, as Captain Smith walks over to Doctor Carlson who hitched a ride from Starbase 24 to rendezvous with the Enterprise in a few days.]
DR. CARLSON: She had an acute radiation sickness from the sun flare.
CAPT. SMITH: According to the survey team it should be done in a few days.
DR. CARLSON: I hope so I'd like to say thanks for giving me a ride back to the Enterprise.
Jessica turns to him.
CAPT. SMITH: No problem Steven we were rendezvousing with them in a few days anyway.
DR. CARLSON: I better get these medical scans back to Doctor Peterson.
Doctor Carlson gets out his communicator and flips it open.
DR. CARLSON [to com]: Carlson to Yorktown one to beam up.
He dematerialized from the surface as a PADD beeps and Jessica gets it out and activates it and John appears on the screen.
CAPT. SMITH [smiles]: Hey there John.
CAPT. BRANSON [PADD Screen]: Hey there stranger how goes the mission?
Jessica is walking as she looks at the PADD.
JESSICA: Oh you know just checking on the colony so far they're doing fine.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS
John is cleaning.
JOHN: That's good we just wrapped up an exploration mission of the Typhoon Expanse along the Romulan Neutral Zone border we should be at Ajidln IV in a few days time.
JESSICA [PADD screen]: I can't wait to see you I missed you so much
JOHN [smiles]: Same here I'll show you my famous stir-fry rice again to make up for cancelling our date last time you were aboard.
JESSICA [PADD Screen]: I can't wait to try it
John walks over to the PADD that's being held up by a stand.
JOHN: I miss you Jess its been quiet here in my quarters.
JESSICA [PADD SCREEN]: I miss you as well John
In the midst of their banter, the signal is lost as John is wondering what happened as he looks at his wedding ring.
CUT TO:
EXT-AJILON PRIME SURFACE, MAIN COLONY, DAY
The communication trouble appears to be on Jessica's end, as she checks with one of her officers, Ensign Doug Appel.
CAPT. SMITH: Mister Appel contact the Yorktown and see what's going on.
ENS. APPEL: I've tired ma'am.
Their attention is then drawn to a shuttle, on fire and out of control, streaking across the sky before crashing near the town.
CAPT. SMITH: Ensign get the Yorktown on the coms now.
But the ensign's attention is drawn to the sky, and Jessica looks up to see a massive vessel entering the atmosphere. 
CAPT. SMITH [shocked]: My God.
CUT TO:

LT. SMITH: Captain, I am receiving a distress call.
Captain Branson turns to her.
CAPT. BRANSON: Who's it from?
She checks her console and is shocked.
LT. SMITH: It's from the Yorktown.
John quickly turns.
CAPT. BRANSON: Let's hear it.
Lieutenant Smith inputs commands into the communications console as Captain Smith's voice comes over the com.
CAPT. SMITH [com voice, static]: This is.....attacked...Klingons....need any and all....
LT. SMITH: That's all we were able to receive.
CAPT. BRANSON: Kara, set course for Ajilon Prime warp seven point five.

INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
On the wall monitor Admiral Austin is in his office onboard the U.S.S. John Chamberlin a Foley-Class dreadnought.
ADM. AUSTIN [monitor]: The Federation is at a dangerous situation with the Klingon Empire John
CAPT. BRANSON: Admiral I've known the Empire have been assembling their forces for sometime I've read the reports.
ADM. AUSTIN [monitor]: Ambassador Sarek is attempting to contact Chancellor L'Rell to put a stop to whatever the Empire is doing, this situation could spark a war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire something that we're trying to avoid John
CAPT. BRANSON: The Klingons attacked first sir you weren't at Archanis IV sir the Klingons brutally attacked the colony for no reason 1,435 people were killed along with 500 crew on both Salazar and Elezbar.
Admiral Austin remembers that dark day.
ADM. AUSTIN [monitor]: No one is disputing that John but we need to figure out why the Klingons attacked
CAPT. BRANSON: Because their brutes sir they only care about battle and glory they don't care if you're an innocent person.
ADM. AUSTIN [monitor]: John, we need to gather information so you're going to recon the area to further avoid provoking the situation
CAPT. BRANSON: Aye, sir.
ADM. AUSTIN [monitor]: And John I understand that Captain Smith was there when the attack happened, I need to know that your judgement isn't clouded by your feelings towards her
Then the com activates.
LT. CARLSON [com voice]: Bridge to Captain Branson we're about to come out of warp
CAPT. BRANSON: It won't sir Branson out.
Transmission ends as John leaves the ready room.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
Captain Branson comes out of the ready room and sits at the Captain's chair.
CAPT. BRANSON: Report.
LT. CARLSON: We've entered the Ajlidn Prime system.
LT. T'LAR: Sensor scans show no sign of Klingon vessels in the sector sir.
CMDR. IVANOVA: They could be cloaked.
CAPT. BRANSON: Agreed, start a sensor sweep of the area Kara bring us on the far side of the moon.
LT. CARLSON: Aye, sir.
CAPT. BRANSON: Yellow alert.
Lights change to yellow and start flashing yellow.

===Act 1===
FADE IN
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [YELLOW ALERT]
As the Yorktown's wrecked saucer floats in front of them, everyone is disappointed and saddened that they weren't here to provide assistance.
CAPT. BRANSON: No assumptions here. T'Lar, scan for life signs and escape pods. We don't know what happened to that crew.
Lieutenant T'Lar works at her console and reports.
LT. T'LAR: My scanners are not functioning.
LT. SMITH: I've just lost coms.
LT. MITCHELL: Now we've lost transporters.
CMDR. IVANOVA: What the hell is going on?
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm not sure Z.
LT. T'LAR:I detect a counter-frequency emanating from the planet. It appears to be negating
all scans, communications, and transporter signals between here and there.
CAPT. BRANSON: What could be causing it?
LT. MASON: I believe that the Klingons are using some type of jamming device that blocks on transporters, communications, and sensors.
CAPT. BRANSON: No one beams up or down and you can't tell how many hostiles you're dealing with or contact the outside for back up.
LT. MASON: Correct.
LT. SMITH: Even with coms and sensors down we still have line of sight.
CMDR. IVANOVA: She's right.
CAPT. BRANSON: Start observations.
LT. T'LAR: Captain, sensors are detecting an incoming warp signature its a Klingon battle cruiser.
Captain Branson walks back to his command chair.
CAPT. BRANSON: Red Alert!
Lights change from yellow to red and klaxons sound as the Klingon vessel emerges from warp.
LT. T'LAR: It is a D5-class warbird.
CAPT. BRANSON: Jack, prepare phasers but hold for my order.
LT. MASON: Aye, sir phasers locked and holding.
Then at communications Lieutenant Smith turns to face Captain Branson.
LT. SMITH: Sir, I am receiving a transmission outside the field its from Starfleet.
CAPT. BRANSON: What does it say?
LT. SMITH: They've received a message from the Klingon High council chambers.
CAPT. BRANSON: What does it say?
LT. SMITH: It's not a message but a map.
CAPT. BRANSON: Let's see it.
Transparent viewer shows the image with the Neutral Zone line through the AjIlon system, and Ajlidn IV was on their side of the line. 
LT. SMITH: Starfleet has ordered us to remain on our side of the Zone.
Captain Branson looks at the viewer.
CAPT. BRANSON: Command crew ready room now.
EXT-SPACE
Enterprise is outside orbit of the planet.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM [RED ALERT]
The senior staff are around the table as the monitor shows the redesigned line of the Neutral Zone.
CAPT. BRANSON: Enterprise is holding their side of the Zone as are the Klingons but I believe that there's survivors.
CMDR. IVANOVA: So how do we get across without provoking the Klingon?
LT. CARLSON: What if we use the debris field from the Yorktown's debris field?
CAPT. BRANSON: Excellent idea Kara.
EXT-SPACE
The Klingon cruiser is patrolling the line through the debris field unknown to the cruiser the shuttle craft Zhang Sui disguised with scrap metal to make it appear like space garbage, drifts through the Yorktown's debris field, and into the scanner range of the hunter ship.
INT-ZHANG SUI CANOPY [RED ALERT]
Captain Branson, Lieutenant Mason, Lieutenant Carlson, Lieutenant Commander Clarkson, and Doctor M'Benga are at the consoles.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: The cruiser is scanning us.
LT. CARLSON: To them we should be dead as the rest of the vessel.
She looks over at John.
LT. CARLSON: Sorry.
CAPT. BRANSON: It's alright Kara.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
Transparent viewer shows the shuttle drifting by as Commander Ivanova sits in the Captain's chair.
CMDR. IVANOVA: An old Earth tactic.
Lieutenant T'Lar turns to face her.
LT. T'LAR: Commander?
Commander Ivanova looks over at her.
CMDR. IVANOVA: It's a tactic that survivors would use in a Zombie outbreak to disguise themselves pretending to be dead.
LT. T'LAR: Steven had me watch one of those on our last date before he left for Starbase 24 to a medical conference.
EXT-AJILDON PRIME SURFACE
The shuttle enters the atmosphere.
INT-ZHANG SUI CANOPY
Everyone is hanging on for dear life as the shuttle shakes and rattles from the entry as alarms blare.
CAPT. BRANSON: You going to fire up the engines anytime now Kara?
LT. CARLSON: Not yet I'll do it at 1500 meters we need to be below their scanners or it will be one hairy landing.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: 1500 meters?
LT. CARLSON: Don't worry I did this 100 times during the war.
EXT-AJILDON PRIME SURFACE, DAY
The shuttle vanishes then levels out above the trees.
INT-ZHANG SUI CANOPY
CAPT. BRANSON: Nice flying but next time don't wait till we're almost kissing the ground to reactivate the engines.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: I think we need to go back for my stomach.
Captain Branson snickers.
CAPT. BRANSON: Find us a safe place to land out of sight of Klingon soldiers.
LT. CARLSON: Aye, sir.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
T'Lar scans the Yorktown's wrecked saucer section for bio-signs as Commander Ivanova sees this and walks over to her.
CMDR. IVANOVA: T'Lar did you find something?
LT. T'LAR: I am currently scanning for bio-signs aboard the Yorktown there appears to be gaps in the field but I have not been able to find it.
CMDR. IVANOVA: T'Lar you've been up for a few hours you need some rest let's Sheridan or Hansen cover your shift.
T'Lar looks at her.
LT. T'LAR: Commander we are at red alert I should not be resting I have duties to preform.
CMDR. IVANOVA: You're search for Steven aren't you?
LT. T'LAR: He told me he would be gone for a few days and he would in his own human word: "Be back in a few days and we would spend time with each other" but I fear that he maybe gone.
Commander Ivanova would never tell T'Lar not to hope, and adds her hope that Steven is alive.
LT. T'LAR: According scanners the Yorktown's saucer section rotates every 2 hours so we should be able to see their sickbay.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Let's see it.
The transparent viewer shows the sickbay.
LT. MITCHELL: I don't see sickbay.
T'Lar can only stare in stunned silence.

===Act 2===
FADE IN
EXT-AJILDON PRIME SURFACE, MAIN COLONY
The landing party is doing leapfrog movements as Captain Branson sees a strange device that didn't appear native.
CAPT. BRANSON: That doesn't appear to be native to the colony.
LT. MASON: It's not the Klingons used it during one of the most brutal battles of the war it blocks sensors, transporters, and communications with any friendly vessels in orbit or approaching the planet.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: How the hell are we going to take this thing out?
CAPT. BRANSON: One thing at a time people survivors first tower later.
They move out.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON [re: PADD]: Hold up I am detecting a patrol of Klingon soldiers heading our way.
CAPT. BRANSON: What's the range?
LTCMDR. CLARKSON [re: Tricorder]: Range 400 meters and closing.
CAPT. BRANSON: Take cover.
The team hides as a lone Klingon soldier passes by as the team is watching him as John looks over at Jack and nods and he takes the soldier out.
DR. M'BENGA: Why just one soldier where's a squad?
LT. CARLSON: Maybe they're at a base camp somewhere?
LTCMDR. CLARKSON [re: tricorder]: I am detecting Klingon warriors.
CAPT. BRANSON: How many?
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: It's a squad.
CAPT. BRANSON: Alright, everyone in this building.
They enter a nearby building.
INT-BARBERSHOP
They enter and turn off their flashlights on their combat vests as they see the Klingon warriors pass by.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE NACELLE HOUSING [RED ALERT]
Commander Williams is working on recalibrations to the deflector shield, clearly distracted by her work. 
LT. SMITH [to herself]: How are the Klingons able to block our coms, sensors, and transporters?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Maybe they were annoyed by us using our transporters a lot to get our people out of the situations?
LT. SMITH: That could be possible.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Let's get to work on breaking through this interference.
They get to work.
CUT TO:
INT-BARBERSHOP
The strike team is hiding from the Klingon warriors.
LT. MASON: This is strange the Houses are working together for the first time in over a century.
CAPT. BRANSON: Maybe they decided that it was in their best interest to work together.
LT. MASON: Maybe.
Captain Branson leans back in the chair as Lieutenant Mason looks out to make sure the Klingon warriors are moving by.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: You alright John?
He looks over at Kyle.
CAPT. BRANSON: Not really I am worried about Jessica.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: She's tough I mean if she can handle you then she can handle being tracked by the Klingons.
He studies his tricorder.
LT. MASON: They've gone by.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON [re: tricorder]: John, I am picking up an anomalous signal coming from down the street.
CAPT. BRANSON: What is it?
LTCMDR. CLARKSON [re: tricorder]: It reads as Human.
Branson's optimism about survivors improves.
CAPT. BRANSON: Let's move.
They head to the source of the signal.
INT-BUILDING MAIN HALL
They enter but however they found no survivors.
LT. CARLSON: Where is everyone?
LT. MASON: They should be here.
Commander Clarkson's tricorder follows the signal to a device in a nearby cardboard box.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: It's a device that has been modified to emit false bio-signs.
Then a force field goes up.
CAPT. BRANSON: You've got to be kidding.
Then Scotty pokes his head out.
CMDR. SCOTT [surprised]: John?
John looks over at the place.
CAPT. BRANSON [surprised]: Scotty?
Commander Scott walks over to them.
CMDR. SCOTT [smiles]: Aye, you're a sight for sore eyes laddie.
CAPT. BRANSON: Same here Scotty.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: Maybe you want to drop the force field.
Commander Scotty inputs commands into his communicator and the field goes down.
CAPT. BRANSON: This is Lieutenant Mason, Lieutenant Carlson, Doctor M'Benga, and Lieutenant Commander Clarkson.
CMDR. SCOTT: Please to meet you all.
CAPT. BRANSON: Scotty what happened?
CMDR. SCOTT: The Klingons they attacked the U.S.S. Johnson I was heading back to the Farragut when they attacked in full force I was able to make it to a shuttle.
CAPT. BRANSON: Is there any survivors from the U.S.S. Yorktown?
CMDR. SCOTT: Aye you bet they're survivors Captain Smith gathered them all into hiding they've been hold up in a building.
CAPT. BRANSON: Can you show us.
Scotty leads them to the building.
CUT TO:
INT-DINER MAIN AREA
Survivors are gathered as Captain Branson, Lieutenant Mason, Doctor M'Benga, Lieutenant Commander Clarkson, and Commander Scott enters as Jessica sees her husband and the two embrace.
CAPT. SMITH: John?
She hugs him.
JESSICA: You found us.
JOHN: They couldn't stop me from coming.
JESSICA: You idiot.
JOHN [confused]: Okay, not the welcome I was expecting.
JESSICA: Why are you here?
JOHN: Isn't that obvious?
JESSICA: Coming for me for us was It was a crazy idea. I would never want you to endanger yourselves.
JOHN: Well, a little late for that, and not your call.
JESSICA: Goddamn it, John.
JOHN: What? Hey. Don't blame me. If you didn't want me showing up unexpectedly, you shouldn't have hung up on me, so there.
JESSICA: You were safe. Now you're-you're here.
JOHN: Yeah, I'm here. And Enterprise is in orbit. We can get you out of here.
JESSICA: But the transports don't work.
JOHN: Lucky me, I have a shuttle.
JESSICA: We can't all fit in a shuttle.
JOHN: We can get some people out.
JESSICA [scoffs]: It's not enough. Besides, the second you try, they'll shoot you down.
JOHN: What about Scotty he could work on something.
JESSICA: Scotty what happened to the Johnson?
MONTOGMERY: Destroyed ma'am.
Jessica pats his shoulder.
EXT-AJILDON SYSTEM, AJILDON IV ORBIT
Enterprise is far from the planet due to the new line drawn out by the Klingons.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
LT. T'LAR: Commander sensors have detected two more Klingon warbirds D-6 and D-4 vessels.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Well, red alert can't get any redder.
Then Lieutenant Smith and Lieutenant Commander Williams walks onto the bridge.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Please tell me you girls have some good news?
LT. SMITH: We need to speak with you both.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM [RED ALERT]
Monitor shows the surface.
LT. SMITH: In our investigation we picked up where the source of the interference field is coming from it appears to be a tower that the Klingons brought with them is what is hindering our systems.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: We believe that it's unshielded and can be destroyed.
CMDR. IVANOVA: How we can't fire phasers or photon torpedoes it would cause the Klingons to respond in force.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: We may have another way of taking it out.
CMDR. IVANOVA: How?
LT. SMITH: If we have a large piece of debris we could direct it to where the tower is at.
CMDR. IVANOVA: What about the Yorktown's saucer section its large enough and could go unnoticed.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: If someone places retrorockets on the wrecked saucer section and with the right calculations it should crash into the tower.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Restoring coms sensors and transporters.
LT. T'LAR: I should be the one to do it.
They look over at her.
CMDR. IVANOVA: But I need you here on the bridge.
LT. T'LAR: Commander I am the only one who can do it.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Are you sure.
LT. T'LAR: I can do it if we have any hope of knowing the fate of both Steven and Captain Smith logic dictates that it should be me.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Alright get suited up.
T'Lar leaves the ready room as she's worried.

JESSICA: What are you doing?
JOHN: I'm trying to figure out if I could make it to Scotty's shuttle.
JESSICA: John, that's a bad idea you'd be spotted before you could get within a meter of the shuttle.
He turns to her.
JOHN [sighs]: I just feel like I need to do something Jess.
JESSICA [smiles]: I know you do.
Scotty walks over to them.
CMDR. SCOTT: John, we can go now if ya want to.
John gets up and takes his phaser out of the holster and hands it to Scotty.

Doctor Carlson is laying on the deck with a cut on the side of his forehead and his right nostril bleeding a bit as he wakes up and sees Sickbay in a wreck and sees Doctor Peterson treating a few survivors from the attack.
DR. PETERSON: Doctor Carlson are you alright?
She helps him up.
DR. CARLSON: I feel like a shuttle fallen on my head but other then that I'll be alright.
Then he sees that life-support has reached dangerous levels he goes over to a console and diverts what power is left to the life-support systems on deck 7.
DR. PETERSON: How much will that supply us with air?
DR. CARLSON: should provide us with air only for at least another hour we to gather what supplies we can and get off this wreck before we become an after thought.
YORKTOWN CREWMEN: But how the shuttle bay is destroyed.
DR. CARLSON: I'll think of something come on.
Steven sees the Enterprise and smiles as he tries to get them to see him and the survivors.

CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. YORKTOWN MAIN BRIDGE [EXPOSED TO SPACE AND DAMAGED]
Lieutenant T'Lar sets the last of the rockets on the exposed bridge of the Yorktown, and the saucer begins to move. Through the reflection on the glass of the console in front of her, T'Lar sees a Klingon warrior in EVA behind her, and draws her phaser. The Klingon lashes out with its bat'leth, disarming her. Just then, Steven and the survivors from sickbay enters, much to T'Lar's surprise, and just as the Klingon attacks. T'Lar tackles the Klingon, but he gains the upper hand, and prepares to crush T'Lar's helmet. Steven scrambles to grab T'Lar's phaser, and after a tense few seconds manages to get a hold of it, firing a shot that gains the warrior's attention. T'Lar grabs a piece of the bridge railing and smashes it through the Klingon's own helmet, causing him to die from oxygen loss and extreme cold.
STEVEN: Are alright?
T'LAR [nods]: Yes thanks to you.
DR. PETERSON: Still when we get back I should take a look at you.
CUT TO:
INT-SHUTTLE CANOPY [BATTLE DAMAGED]
After the fire fight they're debating what they could do.
CMDR. SCOTT: I could force overload the impulse engines it should create an explosion large enough to take out that tower.
CAPT. BRANSON: Can we auto-pilot?
CMDR. SCOTT: No it's complete fused no chance of repairs.
CAPT. SMITH: So someone is going to have to pilot it.
CAPT. BRANSON: I'll do it.
They look at John.
