INT-USS ENTERPRISE SICKBAY
Doctor Carlson is working at one of the medical consoles when the doors opened and Ensign Carlson enters. 
DR. CARLSON: Kara this is a surprise what can I do for you? 
KARA: I couldn't sleep well. 
He pats the bio-bed and Kara sits on it as Doctor Carlson gets his medical tricorder and scans his sister. 
DR. CARLSON: When did you start noticing these headaches? 
KARA: Since we entered this sector. 
He looks at the medical tricorder. 
DR. CARLSON: Elevated dopamine levels huh I've got fourteen crewmen complaining about the same thing and it all started when we entered this sector of space. 
KARA: Is something wrong? 
DR. CARLSON: I'm not sure but let me give you something that will manage the pain.
Doctor Carlson gets a hypospray and injects his sister with it. 
DR. CARLSON: This should help with the headaches but if they get worse I want you to come see me. 
KARA: Alright thanks Steven. 
Kara gets off the bio-bed and leaves sickbay.

Captain Branson is in the captain's chair. 
CAPT. BRANSON [re: PADD]: Thank you Ensign. 
He hands the PADD back to the young officer. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: We're the first manned vessel to be here.
Before he could speak T'Lar station goes crazy as she turns to it and checks the scanner scope and reports.
LTJG. T'LAR: Sir sensors are picking up something strange on long range. 
CAPT. BRANSON: What is it?
She checks her scanner scope and then turns to Captain Branson.
LTJG. T'LAR: I am not sure sir. 
Then the navigational station goes crazy as well.
LTJG. MITCHELL: I'm getting it to sir.
CAPT. BRANSON: RED ALERT, DEFLECTORS UP! 
Lights dim and klaxons blare as the crew assume their battle stations. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Back us off Ensign. 
ENS. CARLSON: Aye, sir. 
Ensign Carlson inputs commands into the helm station.

The Enterprise is dwarf by the large vessel.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
The wall monitor shows the briefing room at Starfleet Command where Fleet Admiral Ozawa, Rear Admiral Tucker, Vice Admiral April, and Fleet Captain Kirk are.
REAR ADM. TUCKER [monitor]: What's your take, Captain? 
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm convinced now that the sounds coming from that alien ship are giving the crew headaches.
VICE ADM. APRIL [monitor]: And you don't consider that a threat?
CAPT. BRANSON (Confused): What the large ship outside our front door or the migraines? 
FLT ADM. OZAWA [monitor]: The migraines Captain
DR. CARLSON: So far I'm giving the crew some mild sedatives to relieve the migraines they seem to be helping.
FLT CAPT. KIRK [monitor]: What do you recommend we do John?
CAPT. BRANSON: Well, we're out here and we've got an alien vessel of unknown origin out there I think we should make contact.
REAR ADM. TUCKER [monitor]: Is that wise? What if they decide to attack and take over the Enterprise we'd be looking at a threat bigger then the Klingons or the Romulans I recommend we destroy it
The other Admirals and Kirk look at him.
CAPT. BRANSON: Sir, you can't be serious?
REAR ADM. TUCKER [monitor]: I am
FLT ADM. OZAWA [monitor]: Ron we don't know if that's possible we have to study it before we can take the more drastic measure that you're suggesting
VICE ADM. APRIL [monitor]: I'm dispatching the U.S.S. Yorktown to your position they'll be delivering scientists
CAPT. BRANSON: Very well we'll be waiting ma'am Enterprise out. 
Transmission ends. 
EXT-SPACE
The U.S.S. Yorktown emerges out of warp and parks next to the Enterprise as they're impulse engines can be heard powering down. 
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE TRANSPORTER ROOM [RED ALERT]
Commander Keller beams aboard the Enterprise as Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova are waiting. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Commander Keller welcome aboard the Enterprise I'm John Branson Commanding officer. 
They shake hands. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Captain Branson how'd you keep Rear Admiral Tucker's Alpha Commandos off this mission? 
CAPT. BRANSON: I said a welcome wagon with a gun doesn't make a very good first impression. 
They leave the transporter room. 
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE DECK SIX CORRIDOR [RED ALERT]
They're walking through the corridor. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: I'll have our chief science officer send you the data on what we were able to get from when we first encountered it. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Why is your ship at red alert. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Because we're in front of an unknown vessel that's not answering our hails. 
Commander Keller turns to him. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: I need you to discontinue red alert. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Why? 
LTCMDR. KELLER: We can't risk that this thing could act hostile. 
CAPT. BRANSON [to com]: Branson to Bridge stand down from red alert. 
Lights brighten up. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Thank you. 
He walks away. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Why is he such a jerk? 
CAPT. BRANSON: I don't know Z but whatever is going on I don't like it. 
He follows him as Ivanova follows.

INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
The doors opened and the senior staff are at their chairs as Captain Branson enters. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Everyone this is Lieutenant Commander Scott Keller from the Starfleet Science Division. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: So what can you tell me about this vessel? 
LTJG. T'LAR: Our sensors cannot penetrate its outer hull to get a life form reading. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: What are their weapons? 
LTJG. MASON: Unknown tactical sensors can't get a reading. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Well we'll have to send over an away team. 
LT. WILLIAMS: The transporter sensors can't get a lock so anyone who beams over will be stuck there. 
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm not risking an away team till we fix the transporters. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Then we'll take a shuttle over. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Didn't you hear me I'm not risking a landing party till I know what we're dealing with. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Captain Branson I've read your service record and I'm not playing it safe this is the biggest science discovery of a lifetime, there could be some technology that could help us defend ourselves from a Klingon or Romulan Invasion in the near future so we're going over there. 
He leaves as Captain Branson crosses his arms.

The Enterprise and Yorktown are side by side over the large alien vessel.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
CAPT. BRANSON: T'Lar anything?
T'Lar turns to report.
LTJG. T'LAR: Our sensors still cannot penetrate the hull of the vessel.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: So still a no go?
CAPT. BRANSON: Yeah still a no go.
Then Lieutenant Smith turns to report.
LTJG. SMITH: Sir, we're being hailed by the U.S.S. Dominion its Commodore Samuel Grissom.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Wonder what Sam wants?
CAPT. BRANSON: Not sure but let's find out on screen.
Transparent viewer shows the bridge of the U.S.S. Dominion a Federation-Class Dreadnought.
CAPT. BRANSON: Commodore Grissom what can I do for you?
COMM. GRISSOM [viewer]: Captain I just got off the com with Commander Keller and he says that you are refusing to send over a boarding party to an alien vessel?
CAPT. BRANSON: Yes, sir I made the choice not to send over a boarding party due to the lack of information on the inside of the vessel, it would be too risky to send over a boarding party without the Intel we need.
COMM. GRISSOM [viewer]: Well, I disagree with your choice I want you to allow him to go ove there
CAPT. BRANSON: Sir, we have no information and if we send over a boarding party they'll be trapped there till we get the transporters to lock onto their bio-signs.
COMM. GRISSOM [viewer]: Captain you're ordered to follow Commander Keller's orders to the letter but I don't blame you if you are wanting to play it safe, but right now we can't afford to play it safe not after losing 430 men and women to the M-5 disaster on the Excalibur last year
Turbo-lift doors opened and Commander Keller walks onto the bridge with a huge grin on his face.
CAPT. BRANSON: Yes, sir.
COMM. GRISSOM [viewer]: Grissom out
Transmission ends.
CAPT. BRANSON: Wipe that grin off your face you get your way for now but I have to look out for over 430 people onboard this vessel, and if you put them or the boarding party in any danger there will be nowhere in Federation Space I won't find you.
Commander Keller leaves the bridge.
CAPT. BRANSON: Z, meet the Commander in the shuttle bay you'll be taking a Marine Dropship over to the alien vessel.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Aye, sir.
Commander Ivanova, Lieutenant Mason, and Lieutenant T'Lar leaves the bridge enters the turbo-lift and heads down to the main shuttle bay.

She walks to the aft compartment. 
INT-AFT COMPARTMENT
The landing party is gearing up. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Alright we may encounter some strange things its best that we don't touch anything unless the egg heads tell us its not dangerous, set phasers to stun but be ready to change them incase its not enough. 
She checks her type-II phaser and puts it in the holster. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: You won't be needing your weapons Commander. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Landing party protocols Commander we're not to board an unknown vessel or planet surface unarmed unless the people tell us we're not allowed to have them. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: This is a historic find I'm not going to have you and your crewmen ruin it. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: I'm sorry but orders are orders.

LTCMDR. KELLER: You just ruined a ancient alien vessel Lieutenant. 
LTJG. MASON: Oops your welcome. 
He gets out a stun grenade and drops it and it goes off. 
LTCMDR. KELLER (Annoyed): Take an atmosphere reading. Heavy silicon compounds, large concentrations of xenon and argon. 
LTJG. T'LAR (Off the scanner): Traces of carbon, helium; parts per million asbestos. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Not breathable, but it's not gonna corrode our suits either. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: You still wanna go inside? 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Try to stop me Commander.

LTCMDR. KELLER [to com]: This is big, dark, and I'm very happy to be here. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: Well this is what Starfleet is all about Commander. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Commander, somebody has to stay here and attach a permanent hatch here. You and the landing party are carrying guns, I'd prefer if you and them stayed on the dropship. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: What out of the question Commander you're not going alone. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: My mission my rules Commander I'll take Lieutenant T'Lar with me but she'll have to hand you her weapon. 
Lieutenant T'Lar removes her type-2 phaser and hands it to Lieutenant Mason and both Keller and T'Lar head out. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA (annoyed): Arrogant son of a bitch. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: I heard that remain in contact as well as visual contact. 
Both Commander Keller Lieutenant and T'Lar are walking through the corridor. 
LTJG. T'LAR: This bulkhead is incredible my scanner cannot get a clear reading on it.

DR. CARLSON: This new life form is fascinating. There doesn't appear to be an interacting intelligence of freedom of will. 
Captain Branson crosses his arms. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Meaning what? 
DR. CARLSON: I'm not sure but whatever it is he didn't come from our galaxy. 
CAPT. BRANSON (Sighs): Too bad T'Lar isn't onboard right now I'd have her attempt to find out where this thing came from. 
DR. CARLSON: I can't believe that you put my wife on the boarding party. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Steven we're not going to go through that again, now what about the sand residue? 
Doctor Carlson leads him to the container holding the sand residue. 
DR. CARLSON: I call attention to our earlier encounter with the alien. Notice the sand residue when it passes through the bulkhead. 
LT. WILLIAMS: Could this be silicon magnetics? 
DR. CARLSON: Unknown at the moment. 
Then lights go off.
