===Prologue===
FADE IN
EXT-SOL SYSTEM, EARTH ORBIT
The Enterprise is docked at Earth Space Dock.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN BRANSON'S QUARTERS
Tina is sits hunched over a table on which sit three pots, each containing a small, newly sprouted plant with a bulbous base. Tina is carefully watering each plant as the door opens and BRANSON ENTERS.
JOHN: Hey Tina [re: the plants] What's all this?
Tina turns to her father.
TINA: Its my science project I'm growing Vulcan flowers to see how they work with an M-Class planet environment.
JOHN (Confused): That's it you're just going to sit there and watch them grow?
TINA: Pretty much.
JOHN [crosses his arms]: Not bad...But don't you think it's a little...[trying to be diplomatic] Low tech?
Tina looks up at her father.
TINA: I'm a low tech kind of girl, Dad.
Branson can't argue with that assessment, but still feels he has to push his daughter to try something a little more ambitious.
JOHN: I still think you can do something a little more challenging. If you could do any science project you wanted to, anything at all, what would it be? 
Tina thinks about it for a moment, then gets excited.
TINA [knows this is a long shot]: Learn how to pilot a shuttle?
JOHN [Smiles]: Well, that's not exactly a science project, is it? Second choice? 
TINA [thinking]: Visit a planet along the Federation-Klingon Neutral Zone?
JOHN: And what would you do when you got there? 
TINA: I don't know. I could do a planetary survey? 
JOHN: Not bad. Alright, let's do it. 
TINA: Really? 
JOHN: It'll be like a vacation. A working vacation. 
TINA: That's great! Thanks, Dad. I bet we'll have a great time. 
JOHN: I know we will. 
And as they sit there looking forward to their trip...
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
Captain Branson is discussing ship's business with Commander Ivanova and Lieutenant Commander Clarkson while Commander Williams and Lieutenant Mason are on extended leave on Risa celebrating their anniversary.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON [re: PADD]: I've got three teams working on the starboard sensor array its been a bit on the frizz for a few days they'll be finished by 1400 hours.
CMDR. IVANOVA [re: PADD]: we'll be outfitting another group of settlers leaving for Rana III along the border you know, I heard their new irrigation system is really something to see. When you get to the border, you ought to take a look. 
JOHN: Nope not this time Z I want to spend some alone time with my wife and daughter when is the U.S.S. Peterson due to meet us for crew transfer?
CMDR. IVANOVA [Re: PADD]: By 1430 hours.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON [Smiles]: They've recrewed the Peterson?
CAPT. BRANSON [nods]: Yeah its under the command of Admiral Keogh, a shame that I'll miss the reunion with him.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Lucky you John.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: Am I missing something?
CMDR. IVANOVA: Don't you find him just a little arrogant?
CAPT. BRANSON [Smiles]: Funny, he said the same thing about you. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: Really?
Doors chimed.
CAPT. BRANSON: Come in.
Doors opened and Tina enters.
CMDR. IVANOVA: We'll let you two plan your trip out.
They both leave the ready room.
JOHN [Smiles]: Hey there Tina what's up?
TINA: Not much uh dad I need to talk to you about something.
JOHN: Shoot?
TINA: Ok so my teacher at the Academy came to me and said that Chelsey is failing her class and was wondering if she can come with us to Archanis II.
JOHN: I'll have to talk to your stepmom about it and see what she says I was really hoping that we could spend time as a family not have to worry about the Academy but if you want to help him out I guess that's alright in my book.
Tina hugs her father.
TINA [Smiles]: Thanks dad you won't regret this.
She leaves as John is a bit worried.

The Enterprise is on patrol along with the U.S.S. Yorktown.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE SHUTTLE BAY
The shuttle crew are prepping the shuttle to depart.
INT-KATE KENNARD AFT COMPARTMENT
Both John and Jessica are getting the gear stowed away.
JESSICA: You are such a softy.
JOHN: I don't know what you mean by that Jess?
He puts four communicators into the camping bag.
JESSICA: You are helping Tina with a friend.
JOHN: I couldn't allow Tina's best friend to just leave Starfleet or she'll have to work at some bar where she could be raped and that just doesn't sit well with me, and plus she's the daughter of Captain Flynn and Commander McGregor that wouldn't look good on them if their daughter left Starfleet.
Jessica walks over to him and kneels next to him.
JESSICA: Like I said you're a softy.
She kisses his cheek and continues to get the bags stowed away then both Tina and Chelsey enters with their bags.
JOHN: You two all set?
TINA: We're good to go father.
CHELSEY: Captain Branson sir its an honor to learn from someone that has command of the flagship of the Federation fleet.
JOHN (Smiles): The honor is mine I can't let someone with your skills drop out of the Academy and be forced to work at some bar why don't you two stow your gear while I go through pre-launch? 
John leaves the aft compartment.
CUT TO:
EXT-FEDERATION/KLINGON NEUTRAL ZONE BORDER
The shuttle exits warp and approaches Archanis II.
EXT-ARCHANIS II SURFACE, DAY
The group is walking to a clearing.
TINA: This place is amazing.
CHELSEY: Yeah it is.
JESSICA: The Yorktown survey teams suggest it's a lot like Earth during the early Devonian period. A lot of plant life, fish, some insects, but no predators or large land animals. Pretty, isn't it?
Tina and Chelsey continue their survey scans.
JOHN: They're enjoying it.
JESSICA: Yeah they are.
TINA: Hey Chelsey look at this.
Chelsey walks over to her.
CHELSEY: Its like the sunflowers back home.
Branson and Smith walks over to the girls.
JOHN: How's it going.
TINA (re: Tricorder): The atmosphere's seventy seven percent nitrogen, twenty one percent oxygen, and two percent carbon dioxide. The water contains traces of copper, nickel and a little birythium.
JESSICA: Birythium that wasn't in the survey teams reports when the Potemkin was here last.
CHELSEY (Re: Tricorder): It's from the surrounding soil. But we think it's localized.
JOHN (Smiles): Great work you two I'll make some dinner.
TINA: Stir-fry?
JOHN (Smiles): How did you know?
Unknown to them their being watched by unknown soldiers.

JOHN: Anyone want some more?
JESSICA: No I'm good.
TINA: I'm great dad.
CHESLEY: I'm good thanks sir.
JOHN: So Chelsey I served with your father and mother their good people.

They head into the woods.
EXT-ARCHANIS II WOODS, NIGHT
JESSICA: I thought you said there's no bio-signs on the surface.
JOHN: Me that was you.
Then they hear something and they see a pair of Klingon soldiers talking to each other in their language.
JESSICA [whispers]: Klingons that's not good.
JOHN: You're telling me we've got to get back to the campsite and grab the girls and get out of here and warn Starfleet Command of what's going on.
JESSICA: Agreed.
They slowly and quietly start leaving but are spotted and a fire fight starts as they head back to the camp but are surrounded by Klingons.
KLINGON SOLDIER: Surrender humans or died.
Both Jessica and John lay their weapons on the ground and are taken away by the soldiers.

CHELSEY: Maybe they're having alone time with each other if you know what I mean?
TINA: If they wanted to do that they could of used the tent or taken a blanket my dad's not the kind of guy that would do that in the woods with some sort of cover for the ground, Dad this is Tina what's your position?
Nothing on the com.
TINA (to com): Mom, Dad do you guys read me?
Tina shakes her head.
TINA: We better get back to the shuttle the landing zone is this way come on.
They head out to the shuttle.
INT. CAVERN CONTAINMENT AREA
Branson and Smith are in some sort of cell where the force field comes out of a circle.
JESSICA: We may of stumbled upon a Klingon base camp.
JOHN: This is just great how could we of missed it?
JESSICA: They have cloaking devices.
John crosses his arms.
JOHN: I just hope the girls are alright those.
JESSICA: Me to.
They the see a Klingon soldier General Kargh.
GEN. KARGH: Well it seems that we've captured the Captain of the Enterprise and the Captain of the Yorktown.
John walks close to the force field.
JOHN: When the Federation finds out what you've done there will be war do you really want that General!
GEN. KARGH [Smirks]: My dear Captain we are bread for war and conquest you two will give me the defense codes to Earth's defenses or you both will be executed.
Kargh leaves.
EXT-FEDERATION/KLINGON NEUTRAL ZONE BORDER
The Enterprise is on patrol.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
Commander Ivanova is sitting the Captain's chair when T'Lar reports.
LT. T'LAR: Commander sensors have detected a Klingon warship exiting the border.
LTJG. CARLSON: Confirmed its on a direct course for us.
CMDR. IVANOVA (Tensed up): RED ALERT, DEFLECTORS UP!
Lights dimmed and klaxons blare.
EXT-FEDERATION SPACE
The Klingon vessel approaches the Enterprise.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
[Red lights are flashing as klaxons are blaring as Kyle looks over at Commander Ivanova.]
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: Why in the blazes would they risk war?
CMDR. IVANOVA: I'm not sure Kyle but I attend to find out Julia hail them.
LT. SMITH: They're not responding.
Then power hums down as lights and consoles start flickering.
CMDR. IVANOVA: What's happening?
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: We're losing main power are deflectors are down!
Then a Klingon soldier beams onto the bridge, as Lieutenant Mason pulls out a phaser from under his console and aims it at the Klingon soldier as Commander Ivanova activates the com on the right arm rest of the Captain's chair.
CMDR. IVANOVA [to com]: Security team to the bridge!
The doors opened and the security team enters and walks over to the Klingon soldier with their phasers aimed at him.
CMDR. IVANOVA: I'm Commander Zhasa Ivanova first officer of this vessel you'll have to excuse the security force but around here it's customary to identify yourself before transporting into someone else's command center.
GEN. KARGH (snarls): I'm General Kargh of the IKS Vorth I'm here to inform you that your commander has been detained for questioning by the Klingon Imperial Empire.
CMDR. IVANOVA (tenses up): Detained for how long?
GEN. KARGH: Indefinitely. Captain Branson will serve as an example of what happens to anyone who interferes with the Imperial Empire.
CMDR. IVANOVA: If you think that detaining our commanding officer will stop us from exploring the edge of Klingon Space or the Shackleton Expanse then you've got another thing coming.
GEN. KARGH [Smirks]: We anticipated that response.
He gets out a Starfleet PADD and puts it on the Navigational station as Lieutenant Mitchell picks it up.
LT. MITCHELL: Where did you get this?
GEN. KARGH: From the Federation colony along our border they fought well for a bunch of farmers, I hope we don't have to repeat this lesson again.
Kargh beams off the Enterprise as power hums back on-line.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Jack target that vessel's engines we're not allowing them to leave without know what happened to the Captain.
LT. T'LAR: They've cloaked we've lost them.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Get me Starfleet Command on the double.

ADM. KEOGH: Starfleet's orders are simple. Traffic along the Federation-Klingon Neutral Zone border is suspended till we can determine the threat of the Klingons.
CMDR. IVANOVA: They destroyed a Federation colony sir.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: What about John, Jessica, Tina and Cadet Flynn?
CAPT. KEOGH: Their recovery is our top priority.

Smith brings up Keogh's transmission on the transparent viewer. Keogh is flanked by his FIRST OFFICER and SECOND OFFICER.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Go head Captain?
FIRST OFFICER: (transparent viewer, in background): Preliminary tachyon scans are negative
Keogh nods and then turns his attention to Ivanova.
ADM. KEOGH (Viewer): We're not detecting anything on long range scanners, but for all we know, the Klingons could have improved their cloaking technology
CMDR. IVANOVA: We'll keep an eye out sir.
Keogh nods and transmission ends.
LTJG. CARLSON: He has that look of I rather be here without the Enterprise tagging along.
Commander Ivanova leans back in the chair.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Well too bad our Captain and his family are out there and we're not going to sit on the sidelines set course for Archanis II maximum warp.

CHELSEY: Something tells me you've not learned how to fly a shuttle have you?
TINA: We've not had the chance to get into the simulators but my dad did teach me once when I was 14 years old, any luck repairing the warp engines?
CHELSEY: No the regulators are burnt out it will take a engineering team.
Then sensors beep as lights dim and klaxons blare as red lights flash.
TINA: Sensors are picking up two ships coming out of warp directly ahead.
CHELSEY (Worried): From where?
TINA: There!
[We look past Tina and Chelsey's shoulders out the front window at the Peterson and the Enterprise which have dropped out of warp off screen.]

But it's too late. As the Peterson makes a long, slow turn, a Klingon assault ship plunges straight at it in a kamikaze run. The Enterprise fires but the Klingon ship crashes right into the Peterson's forward hull near the main deflector dish. Both ships explode in a ball of fire.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
As orange light from the fireball reflects off the faces of the crew.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON (Shocked): We were retreating. There was no need for a suicide run.
CAPT. BRANSON (to Clarkson): They're showing us how far they're willing to go, Kara set a course for Federation Space maximum warp.
LTJG. CARLSON: Aye, sir.
