EXT-EARTH SURFACE, MOJAVE CALIFORNIA-DAY
YEAR: 2253
Camera shows California and a small ship approaches an apartment and it powers down and a Starfleet officer gets out and gets his stuff, and walks into his apartment. 
INT-THE MARTIN'S APARTMENT-LIVING ROOM
John walks into the living room puts his stuff down as he looks around he hears a sound of a thud, as he gets out his phaser and powers it up as its set to blue he inputs commands into the panel.
INT-THE MARTIN'S APARTMENT-BEDROOM
Doors opened as he sees the bed and two people and sees his wife and the Andorian Ambassador.
MIKALEA: Oh, no.
John lowers the phaser as it powers down and he leaves.
MIKALEA: John, wait John.
The Andorian Ambassador is confused.
INT-THE MARTIN'S APARTMENT-LIVING ROOM
He gets his communicator and puts it in his pocket. 
CMDR. MARTIN: Nope, nope, nope. 
She ties her robe up. 
MIKALEA: John, just listen to me for one second. 
JOHN: No I'm done we've tried and we're not working out.
He closes the doors and he sits in the pod disappointed by what happened.
EXT-EARTH SURFACE
Broken Bow, Oklahoma - Two Years Later
L'Rell, a Klingon Warrior, is running desperately through the rows of corn. We only catch glimpses of her, but we can tell from her breathing that she's running for her life. The BLAST from an alien weapon flashes past her, searing the stalks.
NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)
Two humanoid FIGURES are chasing L'Rell, weapons drawn. We'll come to know that these are ROMULANS--A species that fought the Coalition of Planets in 2156-2160. They continue to FIRE.
CUT TO:
EXT-FARMHOUSE-DAY
A middle-aged FARMER steps out the front door, looking in the direction of the weapons fire.
HIS POV (OPTICAL)
We see flashes of LIGHT and MOVEMENT in the cornfield, as well as a plume of SMOKE from the crashed shuttle.
THE FARMER
urgently heads back into the house.
L'RELL
breaks into the clear, quickly surveys the scene. He spots a nearby SILO and runs toward it with intent.
THE TWO SULIBAN
emerge from the field and see L'Rell.
AT THE SILO
L'Rell quickly opens a large DOOR and steps inside. We hear the door LOCK.
THE FARMER
steps out of his house, armed with a 22nd century PLASMA SHOTGUN. He runs down the porch steps and heads toward the cornfield...
THE- ROMULANS (OPTICAL)
have reached the locked silo door. And one of them shot the door knob and the door opened and they moved in.
WIDE SHOT -THE SILO (OPTICAL)
L'Rell breaks out another DOOR fifteen feet above ground. She LANDS on a nearby SHED, LEAPS to the dirt and draws her DISRUPTOR. She runs twenty feet, spins, and FIRES a single 
SHOT at the broken door he just came out of.
BOOOM! (OPTICAL)
The SILO EXPLODES in a FIERY EXPLOSION!
L'RELL (OPTICAL)
who has been blown to the ground, stands and staggers away from the BURNING silo.
The farmer arrives on the scene.
MOORE [aims his weapon]: Drop your weapon! I mean it! 
L'Rell looks up to see the farmer, who is approaching her, shotgun raised.
MOORE [aims his weapon]: DON'T MOVE!
L'RELL: Ronuh, t2ag:h oH! Mang: juH!
The farmer is terrified --he's never seen a Klingon warrior.
MOORE [nervous]: I don't understand a word you're saying, but I guarantee you I know how to use this. 
L'Rell puts her weapon down.
L'RELL: Qag:h DoQ! RIch ghaH!
The farmer tenses, then FIRES an elongated FLASH of ENERGY which HITS L'Rell square in the chest, BLASTING her backward into the corn! OFF the farmer's shaky reaction...

STARSHIP ENTERPRISE
A STAR TREK FAN FILM PRODUCTION
===Act 1===
FADE IN
EXT-SOL SYSTEM, EARTH ORBIT
[EPISODE NOTES: OPENING CREDITS FALL OVER OPENING SCENES]
A shot of the planet Earth as the sun rises as the CAMERA PULLS BACK slightly to reveal we're in SPACEDOCK in orbit of EARTH. We only see a small section of what we'll learn is the STARSHIP ENTERPRISE. A tiny ORBITAL INSPECTION POD enters frame and flies along the underside of the hull.
INT-INSPECTION POD CANOPY
CAPTAIN JOHN MARTIN & LIEUTENANT COMMANDER STEPHANIE WILLIAMS.
Both officers sit side by side in the cramped cockpit, John Martin is an African-American in his early thirties and is in civilian clothes, and Lieutenant Commander Stephanie Williams in her 20's wearing her red Starfleet uniform.
They're both looking straight up through a ceiling PORTAL at a section of the HULL. 
LTCMDR WILLIAMS: The ventral team should be done in about three days.
Captain Martin is amazed by his new command.
CAPT. MARTIN (Smiles): I hope so I want to get out there so we can explore.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS (Smiles): True sir.
CAPT. MARTIN: Let's take a look at the lateral sensor array.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Give me a sec.
Stephanie whips the control throttle to her left (intentionally harder than she needs to). 
EXT-SPACEDOCK
The orbital pod rolls steeply to a 90 degree angle as it continues along the side of the hull.
INT-INSPECTION POD SEVEN CANOPY
CAPT. MARTIN: Slow down. There. Those are the ports that buckled during the last test. 
They need to be reinforced. 
Stephanie grabs a high-tech stylus and pad, makes a note. With her hands off the controls, the pod drifts slightly toward Enterprise. 
'EXT-SPACEDOCK
The pod gently bumps into the hull.
INT-INSPECTION POD SEVEN CANOPY
Commander Williams quickly grabs the throttle.
CAPT. MARTIN: Great you scratched the paint before we left Spacedock.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Sorry.
Then the com does its boatswain whistle as Commander Williams presses it.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [to com]: Orbital Seven here.
CREWMEN [com voice]: Captain Martin sir
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Go ahead.
CREWMAN [com voice]: Admiral Halsey needs you at Starfleet Medical right away
Off Martin.
CUT TO:
EXT-EARTH SURFACE-SAN FRANSICO CALIFORNIA-NIGHT
An established shot of Starfleet Medical.
INT-STARFLEET MEDICAL/ICU ANTEROOM-NIGHT
A dimly-lit chamber with a large window looking into a 23rd century intensive care unit. L'Rell is lying on a bed, unconscious, with myriad tubes and monitoring devices attached to her body. A small team of doctors and nurses are busily tending to her. Two armed Security Guards stand watch.
In a heated discussion is taking place between three Starfleet Officers: (FLEET ADMIRAL ALICE OZAWA, ADMIRAL THOMAS HALSEY, ADMIRAL KATRINA CORNWELL, AND COMMANDER DARYL SMITH) and three Vulcan dignitaries: (AMBASSADOR SAREK, AMBASSADOR SELEK, and AMBASSADOR TOS)
CMDR. SMITH: Who was chasing her?
AMBASSADOR SAREK: We don't know. They were incinerated in the methane explosion, and the farmer's description was vague at best.
ADM. HALSEY: How did they get here? What kind of ship?
AMBASSADOR SELEK: They were using some kind of stealth technology. We're still analyzing our sensor logs.
CMDR. SMITH: I'd like to see those logs.
AMBASSADOR SAREK [patronizingly calm]: The Klingons made it very clear they want us to expedite this.
ADM. CORNWELL: It happened on our soil. 
AMBASSADOR TOS: That's irrelevant.
FLT ADM. OZAWA: Ambassador, with all due respect, we have a right to know what's going on here.
AMBASSADOR SAREK: You will be apprised of all pertinent information.
CMDR. SMITH [frustrated]: And just who gets to decide what's pertinent?
At this point, the door opens and Martin ENTERS, still in civilian clothes. The conversation stops as everyone turns to him.
CAPT. MARTIN [to Ozawa]: Admiral?
FLT ADM. OZAWA: Captain.
The two shook hands.
ADM. HALSEY: John. I think you know everyone.
Martin sees the unconscious L'Rell through the window.
CAPT. MARTIN [walking to the window]: Not everyone.
FLT ADM. OZAWA: Her name is L'Rell House of Mo'Kai.
CAPT. MARTIN: How did she get here?
ADM. HALSEY: Oklahoma.
Martin reacts.
ADM. CORNWELL: A corn farmer named Moore shot him with a plasma rifle. Says it was self-defense.
AMBASSADOR TOS: Fortunately, Sarek and I have maintained close contact with Kronos since the incident occurred. 
CAPT. MARTIN: Kronos?
FLT ADM. OZAWA: It's the homeworld of the Klingon Empire.
AMBASSADOR SAREK: Yes it is Captain.
John looks over at Sarek.
FLT ADM. OZAWA: Ambassadors Selek and Sarek think we should cancel the relaunch of the Enterprise, till this matter is revolved.
CAPT. MARTIN [scoffs]: And to think they let us make mistakes on our own with the help of President Archer we stopped a coup by V'Las in the late 22nd century, and they released us from their prying eyes to let us stand on our own and now they want to retake the reins because of a Klingon being chased by two Romulan soldiers.
AMBASSADOR SAREK: Sarcasm aside, Captain, the last thing your people need is to get into another war with the Empire.
AMBASSADOR TOS: If we hadn't convinced them to let us take L'Rell's corpse back to Kronos, Earth would most likely be facing a squadron of Warbirds by the end of the week.
CAPT. MARTIN [surprised]: Corpse is she dead?
Martin walks to the door leading to the ICU, opens it and signals to one of the doctors, who approaches.
CAPT. MARTIN (CONT'D): Excuse me... is that woman dead?
Steven Carlson is a 32 year old chief medical officer wearing hospital garb, responds in a hurried voice and slight, distinctive accent:
DR. CARLSON: Her autonomic system was disrupted by the blast but her redundant neural functions are still intact which --
CAPT. MARTIN: Is she going to die?
DR. CARLSON: Not anytime soon.
Martin turns back to the room.
CAPT. MARTIN (Confused, folds his arms): Let me get this straight... you're going to disconnect this woman from life support... even though she could recover. Where's the logic in that?
AMBASSADOR SAREK: They're a warrior race... they dream of dying in battle. If you understood the complexities of interstellar diplomacy you would --
CAPT. MARTIN: So that's your diplomatic solution, to do what they tell you. Pull the plug?
AMBASSADOR TOS: Your metaphor is crude, but accurate. 
CAPT. MARTIN: We may be crude, but we're not murderers. {then to Halsey) You're not going to let them do this, are you'?
ADM. HALSEY: The Federation Council is having an emergency meeting to discuss this situation and how to handle it.
CAPT. MARTIN: If the Klingons want their officer back find I can have Enterprise ready to go in three days, we'll take her back to her people alive.
Halsey turns to Fleet Admiral Ozawa.
ADM. HALSEY: Alice?
FLT ADM. OZAWA: What about your crew? Your Com Officer's in Brazil...you haven't selected a Medical Officer yet...
CAPT. MARTIN: Three days that's all I need ma'am.
FLT ADM. OZAWA: Very well.
The Vulcans can't believe what they're hearing.
AMBASSADOR SAREK: Admiral...
Ozawa looks at him.
FLT ADM. OZAWA: Ambassador we've been waiting since the Enterprise returned from Talos to relaunch her, and this seems as good a time as any to get started.
AMBASSADOR SAREK [agitated, louder]: Listen to me. You're making a mistake!
CAPT. MARTIN [calmly, chiding him]: When your logic doesn't work, you raise your voice? You have been on Earth too long.
Ambassador Sarek and his delegation leaves along with most of the Starfleet delegation as Halsey walks up to Martin.
ADM. HALSEY: I had a feeling their approach wouldn't sit too well with you. (then) Don't screw this up.
As they EXIT, Martin walks to the large window and raps on the glass. Carlson and a couple of nurses turn to look. Martin gestures Carlson over. Carlson looks surprised -- "me?" As he moves to Martin, curious...

===Act 2===
FADE IN
EXT-SOL SYSTEM, EARTH ORBIT
In orbit of Earth, as before. The Starship Enterprise is docked inside, but just barely visible at this angle, as a class-F shuttle approaches the dry-dock.
INT-SHUTTLE CANOPY
Lieutenant Tyson Mitchell who recently graduated Starfleet Academy sits in the back with his duffel bag next to him as he looks at the PADD showing the schematics of the Enterprise as he looks out the window as sees the famous vessel in all her glory.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE TRANSPORTER ROOM
TACTICAL OFFICER, LIEUTENANT JACK MASON and the HELMSMAN, LIEUTENANT KARA CARLSON are standing by the transport platform as a shipment of CARGO CONTAINERS MATERIALIZE.
 Jack Mason a seasoned officer who has been in Starfleet since he graduated from Starfleet Academy in late 40s and is at the age of 34, and Lieutenant Kara Carlson is a buttoned-up English woman in her 20s, Lieutenant Mason and Lieutenant Carlson kneels down and Mason opens the container.
LT. MASON [sighs]: Damn it I asked for plasma coils and they sent me a case of valve sealant. There's no chance I can have the weapons on-line in three days. 
LT. CARLSON [confused]: We're just taking a sick woman back to her homeworld... why do we need weapons?
LT. MASON: Didn't you read the profile report on these Klingons? Apparently, they sharpen their teeth before they go into battle.
Carlson gives him an uneasy half-smile.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE DECK SIX CORRIDOR
Minutes later. Mason and Carlson are walking along. Crewmembers are putting finishing touches on the ship, working at wall panels and opened deck plating.
LT. MASON: No doubt Commander Williams will reassure me that my equipment will be here tomorrow. Keep your shirt on, Lieutenant.
Mason pauses at an opened wall panel, where a young female CREWMAN is "tuning" a series of power conduits with a small device.
LT. MASON: You may find that if you re-balance the polarities, you'll get that done a bit faster, Crewman.
They continue down the corridor.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN ENGINEERING
Unlike the spacious, brightly-lit engine rooms of future starships, this is more like the cramped, red-lit nerve center of a nuclear submarine. We see crewmembers busily getting the ship ready for launch.
Stephanie is in her element. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS (Amazed): (shouting down)Okay, Alex, give it some juice!
A crewman below throws a series of levers, and a pulsing pillar of PLASMA courses through the warp core.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS (CONT'D, shouting down): Beautiful! Lock it off right there!
Stephanie ducks and weaves through various outcroppings and slides down an access ladder, dropping to the deck below. She eyes the warp core, notices something, reaches in her pocket, pulls out a handkerchief and polishes off a small smudge on the casing. As she proudly inspects her work...
LT. MASON (O.S): I believe you missed a spot.
Stephanie turns to see her husband and Ensign Carlson standing at the rail.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS (smiles): Very funny Jack and who's this?
LT. MASON: This is Lieutenant Kara Carlson our chief helm officer.
They shook hands.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Please to meet you I'm Stephanie Williams.
LT. CARLSON: Wow how fast have you gotten?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Six point five we'll get her up to more speed when we leave spacedock, sure you can handle it.
LT. CARLSON (In awe): Six point five.
Lieutenant Mason puts his hands behind his back.
LT. MASON: Pardon me, but if I don't realign the deflector, the first grain of space-dust we come across will blow a hole through this ship the size of your fist.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Keep your shirt on Lieutenant your gear will be here by 1130 hours.
Mason gives Carlson a look.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS
Both John and Jessica are having a romantic dinner before the Enterprise departs.
JOHN: So when is your sister expected to arrive?
JESSICA: She told she'll be aboard before you depart have you picked a first officer yet?
JOHN [sighs]: Not yet I've gone through several PADDs and they tell you nothing about the person what his or her strengths and weaknesses are all you see is recommendations and commendations for bravery and dedication.
JESSICA [smiles]: You'll find a great first officer John it just takes time.
EXT-SOL SYSTEM, EARTH ORBIT
In orbit of Earth, as before. The Starship Enterprise is docked inside, but just barely visible at this angle.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
Captain Martin is reviewing crew and ship status reports when the doors chimed.
CAPT. MARTIN: Come.
Doors opened and Una Chin-Riley wearing her dress uniform walks and stands in front of the desk.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [hands Martin a PADD]: This confirms that I was formally transferred to your command at oh eight hundred hours. Reporting for duty.
John takes the PADD and looks at it.
CAPT. MARTIN: Welcome aboard Commander Chin-Riley I assume you know the Enterprise inside and out?
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Yes, sir I served under Captain Pike before he was removed from command after the Talos IV incident.
CAPT. MARTIN: I heard what happened its a shame that Starfleet forced such a very impressive officer from his post.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: We all were reassigned I was lucky that you requested my abilities as your executive officer.
CAPT. MARTIN: Well, it was Chris that convinced me your years of service as his executive officer and what he said that you are the best first officer in the fleet let's get the old girl out of her berth.
They leave the ready room.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
They walk onto the bridge as the crew are at their stations as Lieutenant Mitchell is at his station.
CAPT. MARTIN: Status report?
Lieutenant Tyson Mitchell the chief navigator turns to Captain Branson to give him a report.
LT. MITCHELL: Navigational systems are ready sir.
Lieutenant Mason reports.
LT. MASON: Shields and weapons are ready sir.
LT. CARLSON: Warp and impulse engines are ready on your command sir.
Then the doors to the turbo-lift opened and Lieutenant Commander T'Shara enters the command center now T'Shara is a Vulcan female who is blonde haired and short but has years of experience in Starfleet and was posted to the U.S.S. Enterprise at the recommendation of Spock to be the Chief Science Officer.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Lieutenant Commander T'Shara reporting for duty sir.
Captain Martin gets up from the Captain's chair. 
CAPT. MARTIN: Welcome aboard Commander T'Shara.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Permission to assume my post?
CAPT. MARTIN: Take your station.
Commander T'Shara goes to her station as Captain Martin turns to Lieutenant Smith at the communications station.
CAPT. MARTIN: Hail the dock master.
Lieutenant Smith inputs commands into the console.
LT. SMITH: Channel open sir.
CAPT. MARTIN: Control, this is Enterprise...requesting permission to depart.
DOCK MASTER [com voice]: This is control. Enterprise, Permission to depart granted
Captain Martin sits back in the captain's chair.
CAPT. MARTIN: Thank you control take us out Kara straight and steady.
LT. CARLSON: Aye, sir.

The crew are at their stations ready for a break and rest after hauling cargo to the colonies along the Klingon border.
CARGO CAPTAIN: Helm bring us in for docking, Lieutenant hail the base.
Both officers comply.
COM OFFICER: This is freighter Shenandoah to Antares Base requesting permission to dock, Shenandoah to Antares base come in please.
CARGO CAPTAIN: Something wrong Lieutenant?
COM OFFICER: I can't raise the base.
HELM OFFICER: That's because its not there its been destroyed.
Transparent viewer shows the destruction of the base and the two Federation vessels that are there defending it as the Cargo Captain slowly gets up from his chair in utter shock.
TACTICAL OFFICER: Sir two contacts Klingon vessels!
Transparent viewer shows the two Klingon vessels decloaking.
CARGO CAPTAIN: RED ALERT, SHIELDS UP! Lieutenant get a distress call to Starfleet Command now!
Lights dim and klaxons blare.
COM OFFICER: Aye, sir this is Shenandoah to any ships in the sector we're under attack by Klingon vessels and are requesting any and all help, I repeat this is the freighter Shenandoah we're under attack by two Klingon battle cruisers need any and all assistance.

INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE SICKBAY
Doctor Carlson is reviewing his medical scans of L'Rell when Captain Martin enters as Doctor Carlson turns to him.
DR. CARLSON: Captain I was just about to call you.
CAPT. MARTIN: Well, I wanted to save you the time how's our guest doing?
DR. CARLSON [sighs]: L'Rell is still unconscious but I've been able to get detail scans of her so incase we run into an injured Klingon I'll be able to treat their wounds.
CAPT. MARTIN: Lieutenant Carlson tells me we'll be to Kronos in about eighty hours. Any chance she'll be conscious by then?
DR. CARLSON: There's a chance she'll be conscious within the next ten minutes... just not a very good one. 
CAPT. MARTIN: Eighty hours, Doctor. If she doesn't walk off this ship on her own two feet, she doesn't stand much of a chance. 
DR. CARLSON (nods): I'll do my best.
Then the com does the boatswain whistle and Captain Martin goes to the panel and activates it.
CAPT. MARTIN (to com): Martin here.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [com voice]: Captain, we're receiving a hail from Starfleet Command it's Admiral Thomas Halsey
John looks at Doctor Carlson.

ADM. HALSEY [monitor]: It's been over an hour since we last heard from the SS Shenandoah
CAPT. MARTIN: What was her last known position?
ADM. HALSEY [monitor]: The Federation-Klingon border so far we don't know what happened or why we've lost contact with the Shenandoah, but we fear that the Empire might of attacked and destroyed the freighter as a response to L'Rell being in our border
CAPT. MARTIN: We're a few hours away from the border sir we'll start looking for the Shenandoah when we arrive''
ADM. HALSEY [monitor]: Keep me posted Captain Halsey out
Screen shows the Federation symbol as underneath it says: TRANSMISSION ENDS as John sits back in his chair and thinks as to why the Klingons attacked an lightly armed cargo vessel.

The Enterprise emerges from warp approaching the border as a debris cloud from the Shenandoah can be seen.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [YELLOW ALERT]
Transparent viewer shows The mangled remains of the SS Shenandoah as Commander T'Shara studies her console and turns to Martin.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: No bio-signs. I'm reading several bodies aboard.
Everyone is shocked to hear that as John walks over to Lieutenant Mason at the tactical console.
CAPT. MARTIN: Can you tell who did this?
[Lieutenant Mason's console says weapons signature confirmed, and Hadron count 147.]
LT. MASON: Yes, sir it appears to be Klingon my guess would be a D5 or D6-class cruiser the weapon signature fits the profile of those classes.
CAPT. MARTIN: Scan for their data recorder. It might tell us something.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Aye, sir.
EXT-FEDERATION-KLINGON BORDER
The Enterprise faces the mangled remains of the SS Shenandoah.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE SCIENCE LAB IV [YELLOW ALERT]
Captain Martin enters as both Lieutenant Mason and Commander T'Shara are working on the black box.
LT. MASON: I've analyzed these hull fragments. The damage is consistent with Klingon particle cannons. 
CAPT. MARTIN: What about the black box?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: The memory core was damaged, but I was able to reconstruct the last few seconds of sensor data.
They go over to the main monitor as T'Shara inputs a few commands into the console as the screens show the last few seconds of the sensor data.
CAPT. MARTIN: A D6-class cruiser send this to Starbase 24.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Already done sir.
Enterprise is jolted by weapons fire.
LT. MASON: What was that?
John goes to the com panel.
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Martin to bridge report?
