Turbo-lift doors opened as Captain Martin walks onto the bridge and walks over to the command area, as Commander Ro vacates the Captain's chair and takes the XO chair.
CAPT. MARTIN: Report.
LT. SITO: The Pyrians have placed twenty four fusion powered atmosphere generators across the planet. They're spewing CI2, methane, and sulphur dioxide, and nothing the colonists have done have been able to stop them. In a month, Samsarra will no longer be able to support oxygen breathing life.
CMDR. RO: Perfect, for Pyrians. Bad for colonists, all fifty six thousand three hundred and twelve of them. 
CAPT. MARTIN: Has there been any contact between the Pyrians and the colonist?
LT. MASON: The colonists claim the Pyrian ships just dropped the generators and left without saying a word. All attempts to communicate have been rebuffed. 
LT. KAYE: Pyrians aren't good with chatting.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jack, target those generators with a full barrage of phasers. We'll show them lunch. 
LT. MASON: Gladly sir phasers locked on target.
CAPT. MARTIN: Fire.
Lieutenant Mason presses the firing button.
EXT. SPACE
Enterprise unleashes a single orange phaser beam that heads down to the surface.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Commander T'Mir reports.
LTCMDR. T'MIR: The Pyrian atmosphere generators have been destroyed. The climatic effects will begin to reverse themselves in a matter of days.
CMDR. RO: Well, if that doesn't get them to talk, nothing will. 
Captain Martin sits back in the Captain's chair.
CAPT. MARTIN [sighs]: Jack, send a transmission to Starfleet Command inform Admiral Nechayev of the situation, and I need a fleet to blockade Samsarra. And when the Pyrians show up, we'll tell them just what we've done to their generators. 
LT. MASON: Aye, sir.
Captain Martin tenses up.

INT. CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Captain Martin is getting ready to go to the bridge when the com activates.
CMDR. RO [com voice]: Bridge to Martin
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Martin here go ahead.
CMDR. RO [com voice]: I thought you should know. We've detecting multiple warp clusters across the outer solar system
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: I'm on my way.
He grabs his uniform jacket and leaves his quarters.

INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Turbo-lift doors opened as Captain Martin walks onto the bridge and walks over to the command area, as Commander Ro vacates the Captain's chair and takes the XO chair.
CAPT. MARTIN: Our forces are early.
LTCMDR. T'MIR: The battlegroup is not from Starbase 6.
CMDR. RO: Then who is it?
LT. SITO: As near as I can tell, it is a full Pyrian task force.
CAPT. MARTIN [surprised]: They're early.
LT. KAYE: And heading our way at full impulse speed ETA 23 hours.
LT. MASON: Phaser banks are fully charged and torpedo bays are fully loaded.
Captain Martin is standing behind the ops and helm stations.
CAPT. MARTIN: Any response to our hails?
LT. MASON: Negative sir.
CMDR. RO: Why talk when you can deep fry your opponents.
Commander T'Mir checks her scanner scope and reports.
LTCMDR. T'MIR: The Pyrian fleet is protecting two dropships, which appear to be carrying fresh atmosphere generators.
LT. MASON: [confused]: How the hell did they know about us destroying their generators so quickly?
LTCMDR. T'MIR: Unknown.
CAPT. MARTIN: Replacements or not, they're going back to where they came from. And if we are very lucky, we can convince the Pyrians of that without firing a single shot. 
CMDR. RO: And if we're not very lucky?
Captain Martin turns to her.
CAPT. MARTIN: Well then, we'll sharpen our olive branch into the point of a spear. 
Captain Martin tenses up.

WHUMPH!
LT. MASON: Deflectors are down to 87%.
LT. KAYE: We're losing speed!
CAPT. MARTIN: Their slowing us down.
CMDR. RO: All the better for their torchships to come in close and roast us with plasma. You know, this is getting very annoying. What happened to the good old days when ships just sat around and fired broadsides at each other? 
LT. KAYE: The steam engine was invented.
CAPT. MARTIN: Deflectors to maximum, ready torpedoes full spread one shot per tube. Let's show the Pyrians we're taking this personally.
LT. MASON: Aye, sir.
LT. KAYE: Evasive maneuvers sir?
CAPT. MARTIN [smiles]: Oh Jamie you know me so well. Plot a course back to Samsarra's largest moon. We'll use it for cover while we harass the Pyrian fleet. 
LT. KAYE: Aye, sir.
Lieutenant Kaye works on the helm station as Lieutenant Mason looks up from his console to report.
LT. MASON; Captain, we're being hailed.
Captain Martin walks down in front of the ops and helm stations to the transparent viewer.
CAPT. MARTIN: On screen.
Transparent viewer shows the bridge of the lead Pyrian vessel.
CAPT. MARTIN: I'm John Martin Captain of the Federation Starship U.S.S. Enterprise representing the United Federation of Planets, you will return to your borders and cease all actions on this system and this world.
PYRIAN CAPTAIN [viewer]: Attention, Federation vessel Enterprise. The hostilities you have initiated against this fleet can lead to nothing but your destruction. We urge you to withdraw from Samsarra before that event becomes unavoidable. We will not be deterred
Transmission ends as Captain Martin turns to Lieutenant Mason.
LT. MASON: I'm trying to keep the channel open, but the Pyrians are not responding.
CMDR. RO: Did you hear that? We will not be deterred. 
CAPT. MARTIN: Yeah I did.
WHUMPH!
LTCMDR. T'MIR: More AG packets.
LT. KAYE: We're losing speed!
CAPT. MARTIN: Divert power to compensate. Engineering, initialize backup reactors.
LTCMDR. JAMES [com voice]: Aye, sir

INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Captain Martin sits in the Captain's chair.
CAPT. MARTIN: Are the Pyrians ignoring us?
LT. SITO: It appears they don't consider us a threat.
CMDR. RO: Something tells me that could change soon.
CAPT. MARTIN: Agreed.
LT. MASON: The Pyrian fleet will be in range of Samsarra in less than twenty minutes.
CMDR. RO: Then we can kiss Samsarra goodbye.
CAPT. MARTIN: We're not going to let that happen Jack fire all weapons.
EXT-SPACE
Enterprise fires her phasers and photon torpedoes at the Pyrian forces.

LT. MASON: Deflectors are down to 65% re-routing power to secondary emitters.
WHUMPH! Lieutenant Mason looks at his console read out and reports.
LT. MASON: The Pyrians have just launched a barrage of neutron ground attack missiles at Samsarra.
CMDR. RO: What?
LTCMDR. T'MIR: Neutron warheads only attack living things. 
LT. MASON: Like an infestation of colonists. 
CAPT. MARTIN: Shoot those warheads down. Raise the colonial government on coms.
LT. MASON: What do you want me to tell them?
CAPT. MARTIN: To pack their things and get the hell off the planet. We can't protect them and fight the Pyrians at the same time. We have to evacuate Samsarra. 
Captain Martin tenses up.

INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Captain Martin is standing in front of the ops and helm stations as Lieutenant Mason reports.
LT. MASON: The colonial government reports evacuation is thirty seven percent complete. Of that, four percent of the transports have gone to warp.
CAPT. MARTIN: Estimated time to mission completion?
LTCMDR. T'MIR: Three hours.
LT. MASON: We can't maintain this engagement for three more hours.
CAPT. MARTIN: We don't have a choice Jack.
WHUMPH!
LT. SITO: More AG mass packets.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jack, modulate the deflectors to repel them.
LT. MASON: Aye, sir.
LTCMDR. JAMES [com voice]: Good news, boss. My band of merry monkeys have scrubbed the hull clean. No more AG mass packets. Plus, we shampooed the decks, buffed the mirrors, and threw in some air freshener at no extra charge
CAPT. BRANSON: Thanks Court.
LTCMDR. T'MIR: A pair of torch-ships have moved away from the main fleet and are moving to engage us. 
LT. MASON: Well, even crippled, I would much prefer to assume the offensive than instruct the crew to make peace with their various and sundry deities.
CAPT. MARTIN: Damn it! Prepare to warp out of here.
LT. MASON: And the Pyrians?
CAPT. MARTIN: Let them come.
EXT-SPACE
The Pyrian Torch-ships approaching the Enterprise.

CAPT. MARTIN: Ready all weapons.
LT. MASON: Ready.
Then Sito reports.
LT. SITO: Captain, I'm detecting multiple warp clusters. 
CMDR. RO: Great more Pyrians.
LT. SITO [smiles]: No, a Federation battlegroup, along with warships from Federation member worlds.
Captain Branson is surprised.
CAPT. MARTIN: Ah, what do you know. Some good news for a change. Alright, people. Let's finish this evacuation.
EXT-SPACE
The Federation forces arrive and start shooting at the Pyrian forces.

CAPT. MARTIN: Report on the evacuation?
LT. SITO: We're about 97% complete sir.
CAPT. MARTIN: That's good.
LT. MASON: We've got the Pyrian forces on the run.
CAPT. MARTIN: Better than that. We've corralled them. They can't get out of here unless they come through us. Jack, send a message to the fleet. Tell them we've got one more job to do. We are going to drive the Pyrians from Samsarra forever. 
LT. MASON: Aye, sir.
EXT. SAMSARRA SYSTEM, SAMSARRA IV ORBIT
The Federation battlegroup opens up on the Pyrian forces as the Enterprise is leading the charge.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Captain Martin is standing in front of the ops and helm stations as he's more tensed then ever.
CAPT. MARTIN: Status on enemy forces?
LT. MASON: They've sustain heavy losses sir.
CMDR. RO: Sooner or later they'll have to surrender.
CAPT. MARTIN: True, Ro but till then we have to keep fighting Jack open a channel.
Lieutenant Mason inputs commands into the tactical console.
LT. MASON: Channel opened sir.
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: This is Captain John Martin, Commodore of the Federation fleet. You have twenty minutes to completely withdraw from Samsarra or I will remove you myself. Martin out. 
Commander Ro turns to him.
CMDR. RO: Am I the only one who feels it's weird that the Pyrians left themselves with no way out? 
CAPT. MARTIN: Right now, the Pyrians are up against the wall. If we give them anymore time, we lose our advantage. 
LT. SITO: True, but they were playing their hand awfully well up until the end there.
CAPT. MARTIN: Yes, they were, but the ultimatum has been offered. It's their move. 
LT. MASON: And your plan if and when they don't respond?
Captain Martin walks over to the ops console input some commands into the console.
NEW ANGLE - TRANSPARENT VIEWER
As it shows the battle plan.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jack, open a channel to the battlegroup.
Lieutenant Mason works at the tactical console and reports.
LT. MASON: Channel opened sir.
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: All ships this is Captain John Martin of the Starship Enterprise, we thank you for arriving to provide assistance to defend the system. I am sure you all are wondering what the plan is well here's the plan This is our objective. Two Pyrian dropships carrying atmosphere generators. We destroy them, the Pyrians go home. Phase one, the Dreadnoughts will engage the Torch-ships.
EXT. SAMSARRA SYSTEM, SAMSARRA IV ORBIT
The dreadnought group is in formation with the Galaxy-Class Dreadnought U.S.S. Yamato NCC-1703-A in the lead.

Federation member world vessels are being led by the U.S.S. Yorktown NCC-1717-A.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. YORKTOWN
As her crew are moving from station to station Captain Smith sits in the Captain's chair ready for action.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
LT. MASON: Leaving the dropships exposed. 
Captain Martin is facing the main viewer.
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Correct, which brings us to phase three. Mister Mason, play back the simulation, please. The main element of our fleet will launch a massive attack on the dropships. Dropships gone. We switch fire to the remaining cruiser escorts.
CMDR. RO: At which point, we should be able to force a surrender.
CAPT. MARTIN: Oh, at that point, we win we're Starfleet get it done Martin out.
Transmission ends.
EXT-SPACE
The Dreadnought element approaches the torch-ships with the Yamato in the lead.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. YAMATO
The crew are around their stations as Rear Admiral Maria Martin sits in the Captain's chair.
REAR ADM. MARTIN: Okay, folks, here we go. Stay steady and ready for fun. It's about to get very hot and busy. Stay alert and hold formation. Mister O'Brien fire when ready.
LT. O'BRIEN: Aye, Admiral.
JUMP CUT TO:
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
LT. MASON: The Commander of the Andorian detachment reports he has engaged the cruisers. The dropships are undefended. 
Captain Martin remains standing.
CAPT. MARTIN: Signal the battle group to initiate phase three. 
LT. MASON: Aye, sir all ships are responding.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jamie, set an intercept course full impulse.
LT. KAYE: Aye, sir.
CAPT. MARTIN: Ready all weapons Jack.
LT. MASON: All weapons are ready.
CAPT. MARTIN: Fire.
EXT-SPACE
The main battlegroup opens up on the dropships destroying them one by one as the Enterprise flies through the forces firing her phasers and photons.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
LT. MASON: Targets destroyed. 
CAPT. MARTIN: Prepare to shift fire to cruisers.
Then Lieutenant Mason looks at his console and reports.
LT. MASON: Several Pyrian torch-ships have engaged the Andorian detachment. 
CAPT. MARTIN [confused]: I thought the Yamato and her forces drew them off.
LT. SITO: They did. These are new torch-ships. 
LT. MASON: I am receiving a distress call from the Andorian command vessel.
ANDORIAN COMMODORE [com voice]: We're taking heavy fire, primary systems have failed we've got a core breach in.....
LT. MASON: The detachment's Command ship has been destroyed. Other ships report that they are taking heavy fire.
CAPT. MARTIN: Damn it. Keep firing. Tell the detachment to pull back and consolidate on us.
LT. MASON: Aye, sir.
Captain Martin walks back to the Captain's chair.
CMDR. RO [confused]: I don't understand. There were no warp cluster and the sensor sweeps were all clear.
LT. SITO: Yes, but I've traced the Pyrian reinforcements trajectory back to their point of origin. They came from the far side of the star.
CAPT. MARTIN: Damn. I walked right into that one. 
(When everything has gone quiet again.) 
CMDR. RO: It doesn't make any sense. This can't be an ambush. The Pyrians would have had to know that we were going to come to Samsarra, destroy their atmosphere generators, evacuate the colony, and then go after their dropships. No one is that good. 
LTCMDR. T'MIR: Then that makes two large coincidences in one day.
Lieutenant Mason checks his console read out and reports.
LT. MASON: We're receiving another message from the Pyrians. I can't get a fix on the source.
CAPT. MARTIN: On screen.
AZAZEL [transparent]: Captain Martin, while we admire your audacity, tactical half measures will not deny us our objective. We strongly encourage you to rethink your approach to the current crisis. Failure to do so will be catastrophic
CMDR. RO: Well, that's the friendliest hostile communique we've ever received.
LTCMDR. T'MIR: But no less clear for its tone. 
CAPT. MARTIN: It is what it is. We'll withdraw to the outer solar system and assess our situation. But for now, the Pyrians have taken Samsarra.
Captain Martin tenses up.

FADE IN
EXT. SAMSARRA SYSTEM
The Federation battlegroup is beaten and battered as several ships have scorch marks or hull breaches along their hulls as the camera pushes in on the Enterprise who has a few scorch marks along her hull.
INT. BRIEFING ROOM, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
The senior staff are at the briefing table.
CMDR. RO: We got our asses handed to us out there.
LT. MASON: The Pyrian reinforcements must have arrived after we swept the system, before we could do anything. 
CAPT. MARTIN [sighs]: I've got a ship, a fleet, a planet counting on me to be ready for curveballs like this. 
CMDR. RO: Right. So you think you're expected to be omniscient and above the laws of space and time?
CAPT. MARTIN: Are you implying that I am not? 
Then Lieutenant Mason chimes in.
LT. MASON: You know what bothers me?
CAPT. MARTIN: What is it Jack?
LT. MASON: How did the Pyrians react so quickly? It's like they're three moves ahead of us at every turn.
CAPT. MARTIN [thinking]: Hmm. It's like someone handed them our playbook before the game even got started. 
Captain Martin turns to face his bridge crew.
CAPT. MARTIN: So, what's our status?
DR. LANGFORD: We've lost 5 officers 23 are seriously wounded but they'll pull through.
LTCMDR. JAMES: We've taken some damage to our primary power couplings on decks 11-20 but I've got a repair team on it.
LT. MASON: Deflectors are down to 23% but their recharging we've got 15 photon torpedoes left and our phaser banks have been reduced to 40% charge.
CAPT. MARTIN: Divert emergency power to the phaser banks.
LT. MASON [nods]: Aye, sir.
CAPT. MARTIN: Let's get ourselves and the battlegroup operational again dismissed.
EXT. SAMSARRA SYSTEM
The Federation battlegroup is licking its wounds.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Console screens are flickering or burnt out from the damage the ship received as repair teams are hard at work repairing the damage the Enterprise sustained, as Lieutenant Mason looks at his console and reports.
LT. MASON: Captain, I just received an encoded message from the U.S.S. Saratoga Fleet Admiral Alynna Nechayev's flagship.
CAPT. MARTIN: Decode and bring it up.
LT. MASON: Aye, sir.
Lieutenant Mason works at the tactical console and the transparent viewer shows the bridge of the Sovereign-class vessel U.S.S. Saratoga under the command of Fleet Admiral Alynna Nechayev.
FLT. ADM. NECHAYEV [viewer]: Our long range scouts have detected Pyrian battle fleets assembling across the three sectors, so it appears Samsarra is merely the opening salvo with a full-fledged Pyrian campaign against thousands of oxygen breathing worlds. Most of the threatened planets are non-aligned or hostile to us, but several are Federation members and allies
Both Martin and Ro are shocked by this as the message continues.
FLT. ADM. NECHAYEV [viewer]: ''We deployed the Wrath of Achilles and the Twelve Centuries with task forces to defend Enkindu and the Andorian homeworld Andoria, we've also sent ambassadors to try to negotiate with the Tholians, Gorn, but it doesn't look good. It looks like war
Transmission ends.
CMDR. RO: A war we can't win.
CAPT. MARTIN: They picked Samsarra for a reason. If we stop them here, maybe we stop them everywhere.
Captain Martin walks to the turbo-lift as Commander Ro sits in the Captain's chair.
EXT. SAMSARRA SYSTEM
The Federation battlegroup is slowly recovering.
INT. CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Captain Martin looks at the causality reports while he's drinking a Earl Grey Tea, when monitor beeps he presses it and his girlfriend appears on the screen.
JOHN [smiles]: Hey stranger I was wondering when you were going to call.
JESSICA [monitor]: Well, I heard what was going on and I wanted to see how you were holding up
JOHN: I'm good never better Jess.
JESSICA [monitor]: John, you can tell me what's on your mind
John leans forward on his desk.
JOHN [sighs]: The Pyrians had back up and we sustained heavy losses we had to retreat to the outer edge of the system to lick our wounds and bury the dead, which I am sure the Pyrians are going to take full advantage of.
JESSICA [monitor]: At least you evacuated the planet of all life
JOHN: And now they're threating all life that breathes oxygen.
JESSICA [monitor]: I'd come help if I could but I've been assigned to Admiral Allenby's battlegroup
JOHN [smiles]: I know just watch your back alright.
JESSICA [monitor]: You to I love you
JOHN [smiles]: I love you to.
Transmission ends as John thinks of a way to turn the tide of battle in the Federation's favor, he comes up with an idea and leaves his ready room.
JUMP CUT TO:
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Captain Martin walks onto the bridge from the ready room.
CAPT. MARTIN: Report?
CMDR. RO: The Pyrians are firing low-velocity standoff weapons at us and the fleet. Not enough to really hurt us. 
CAPT. MARTIN: They're probing our defenses, looking for weak spots.
LT. MASON: Me and the tactical officers of each ship in the fleet have been running simulations nonstop, and none of them are good. All scenarios in which we defeat the Pyrians cost us the entire battle group, including the Enterprise, and even still that's no guarantee that Samsarra will stay out of Pyrian control. 
CMDR. RO: John, if we roll over here, the Pyrians will see the Federation as an easy mark. 
CAPT. MARTIN [sighs]: Yeah, I hear you, Ro, but you heard Jack. If we stay, we kiss this ship and this fleet goodbye.
LT. MASON: Without these ships, we'll be unable to turn back the larger Pyrian offensive.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jack, signal the fleet. Tell them to prepare to enter warp. We'll regroup in Sinti orbit and plan from there.
LT. MASON: Aye, sir.
EXT. SAMSARRA SYSTEM
The Federation battlegroup prepares to enter warp till the Pyrian forces intercept the battlegroup and starts firing at the Federation forces destroying a Miranda-class frigate as well as a Vulcan combat cruiser splitting the forward section in two.

EXT. SAMSARRA SYSTEM
The Federation battlegroup scatters and engages the Pyrian forces as phasers, torpedoes and disruptors and AG Packets fill the blackness of space as the Enterprise and her escorts are flying through the battle, one of the Federation ships -- the Sitak -- is already crippled, spinning out of control. Then the other ship takes a hit and is destroyed.

as the image of VICE ADMIRAL JAMES MARTIN appears.
VICE ADM. MARTIN [viewer]: Captain, I am sorry we were late. It was not easy to convince Admiral Jellico to allow us to leave
CAPT. MARTIN: Just glad you're here sir.
Then the ship stops shaking as coolant spews and console screens flicker or are burnt out, as the crew are confused as to why the shooting has stopped.
CAPT. MARTIN: Status on the Pyrians?
LT. SITO: Holding their position. It's as if they're waiting for something or someone.
Then Lieutenant Mason reports.
LT. MASON: We're receiving a coded message from the Pyrians.
CAPT. BRANSON: On screen.
