EXT-SECTOR 232
A battle is raging between the Starfleet/Andorian forces against the Klingon forces as Klingon interceptors collides with a Federation Science vessel and they both explode into a thousand pieces, as a Starfleet Exploratory-class vessel the USS Mayflower NCC-1621 is firing its phasers and photons as its deflectors are flickering.
INT-USS MAYFLOWER MAIN BRIDGE (RED ALERT)
Smoke is everywhere as red lights are bathing the bridge in crimson red as Captain Telford is sitting in the command chair.
CAPT. TELFORD: Re-route power to emergency deflector emitters!
The tactical officer inputs commands into the tactical console as the ship jolts hard under fire.
MAYFLOWER TACTICAL OFFICER: The Klingons weapons are still slicing through our deflectors!
Then the science officer reports.
MAYFLOWER SCIENCE OFFICER: Sir a Klingon interceptor is on a collison course for us!
CAPT. TELFORD: EVASIVE!
The helm officer inputs commands into the helm station.
EXT-SECTOR 232
The Klingon vessel rams the Mayflower causing massive damage to the ship.
INT-USS MAYFLOWER MAIN BRIDGE (RED ALERT, BATTLE DAMAGED)
Sparks rain down as coolant spews and debris is everywhere as Commander John Branson gets up from the deck and sees that the bridge crew is all dead, as he goes to the Captain's chair and activates the ship-wide.
CMDR. BRANSON (to com): This Commander Branson speaking for the Captain all hands abandon ship, I repeat all hands abandon ship.
Commander Branson leaves the damaged bridge.
INT-USS MAYFLOWER DECK FIVE CREW QUARTERS (RED ALERT, BATTLE DAMAGED)
On the lower decks crewmen and families are evacuating the ship as red lights are flashing and klaxons are blaring.
CMDR. BRANSON: Leave what you can't take with you.
He goes to his quarters and forces the doors opened and sees flames and smoke.
INT-USS MAYFLOWER COMMANDER BRANSON'S QUARTERS (RED ALERT, BATTLE DAMAGED)
He goes into his quarters that are in shambles due to the damage it sustained and he starts looking for his son and found him, as he checks his pulse and breathes a sigh of relief as he hears his friend Lieutenant Commander Kyle Clarkson.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON (O.S): JOHN, JOHN!
CMDR. BRANSON: I'M IN HERE!
Kyle enters the quarters.
CMDR. BRANSON: Here take my son.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: Alright come here Felix we've got another problem the warp core has sustained heavy damage, containment fields have failed and the engineering staff has already evacuated we've got to get out of here.
EXT-SPACE
A close up of the torpedo roll bar breaks and collides with the main hull causes a massive explosion.
INT-USS MAYFLOWER DECK SEVEN CORRIDOR (RED ALERT, BATTLE DAMAGED)
They head to the nearest escape pod as sparks erupt from the ceiling and bulkheads as both John and Kyle who's holding Felix stagger about, John goes to the panel and inputs 
commands into it and the doors opened.
CUT TO:
INT-USS MAYFLOWER ESCAPE POD CANOPY 
Kyle gets into it and sits in the co-pilot seat and John straps Felix in and sits next to him in the pilot seat.
CMDR. BRANSON: Let's get out of here.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: Warp core going critical!
CMDR. BRANSON: Hang onto your tails.
He activates the escape pod launch sequence.
EXT-SECTOR 232
The pod ejects and flies under the Mayflower as it erupts in a furious explosion and the warp core breaching sent a shockwave that rocks the escape pod.
INT-USS MAYFLOWER ESCAPE POD CANOPY
Sparks erupt from the ceiling and consoles as the pod is spinning.
CMDR. BRANSON: I've got no power!
Commander Branson works on the console to restore the power grid.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: Hurry man the ground is getting a bit closer.
CMDR. BRANSON: I'm trying but nothing is coming back on-line.
John looks over at his son who's still knocked out.
CMDR. BRANSON: I'm sorry Mikayla.

They're having breakfast.
JESSICA: This is good.
JOHN: Its my famous scrambled eggs with scrambled sausage and bacon. 
JESSICA: I could see that you were having a bad dream.
JOHN (sighs): It's been 13 years since the battle of Sector 232 and I still have that same dream of the Mayflower facing down a Klingon battlegroup after the first and second strike failed, losing people I graduated from the Academy with and then getting into the escape pod with Kyle and Felix and watching the Mayflower explode still haunt me to this day.
She puts her hand on his.
JESSICA (smiles): I'm here for you John.
John holds her hand.
JOHN (smiles): What would I do without you?
Jessica thinks for a few seconds.

He turns to Jessica as she walks over to him.
JOHN (sighs): Yeah but I don't feel right wearing this Jess, other people should be wearing this uniform.
Jessica helps him with his sleeves.
JESSICA: John you were given this rank because of your quick action that day.
JOHN: The Admiralty didn't want me to be promoted to the rank of Captain if it wasn't for Jim's recommendation I'd be a Commander still.
Then Jessica kisses him.
JESSICA (smiles): Does that answer your question?
JOHN (smiles, nods): Yeah it does.

Captain Branson materialized on the pad as he looks around the transporter room.
CAPT. BRANSON: Thank you Chief Mackenzie.
CHIEF MACKENZIE: You're welcome sir.
He walks out of the transporter room.
CUT TO:

Captain Branson is walking to the turbo-lift he enters the lift.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE TURBO-LIFT CART
Captain Branson toggles lever.
CAPT. BRANSON (to com): Deck 1, main bridge.
The lift starts moving as Captain Branson is thinking as he's determined to serve the Enterprise well as its full time Captain.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
A confusion of activity and VOICES. Pieces o equipment in a state of disarray: consoles open, fiber optic tubes unconnected, viewing screens dismantled. It's a frantic, desperate scene -- a ship and crew to- tally unprepared. In the midst of this: ALIEN ensign is assisting JULIA SMITH who's wearing Lieutenant Junior Grade braids on her sleeves, deftly working her communications station, AD LIBBING "... Hailing frequency four, check. Hailing frequency five, will someone please check me?"
As we also see a sweat-soaked Tyson Mitchell also wearing Lieutenant Junior Grade braids on his sleeves of his golden uniform working at the navigational station checking the navigational systems, has a service plate open, is peering inside to make delicate adjust- ments, AD LIBBING "... Helm, now give me a reading on four point zero zero six of full." And at the Weapons Control, JACK MASON (Ltjg.) argues with TECHNICIANS who insist photon torpedoes read "ready" while Jack argues the computer is not relaying that information. 
ANGLE ON THE ELEVATOR DOORS 65 snapping open -- and there is Branson. For the moment no one notices him, and he stands watching, remembering. And then he moves forward toward the command center.
LTJG. MASON: CAPTAIN ON THE BRIDGE!
The crew snaps to attention.
CAPT. BRANSON: As you all were.
They resume their duties as Captain Branson looks around the bridge and walks over to the Captain's chair amazed at the redesign, and pats it as he looks at the various stations when Lieutenant Commander Zhasa Ivanova walks over to him.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA (smiles): As I live and breath I thought I never would get to serve with you again John.
They hug each other.
CAPT. BRANSON: Z its so good to see you again so where are we at right now?
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: We're finishing recalibrating the warp plasma injectors and they'll be on-line by the time we launch, and we're awaiting the arrival of our Chief Medical Officer Doctor Fuller.
Then klaxons blare as Lieutenant Mitchell checks one of the console read outs.
LTJG. MITCHELL: WE'VE GOT A ENERGY SPIKE IN THE TRANSPORTER!
Captain Branson looks at him.
CAPT. BRANSON: How I was able to beam aboard with no issues.
LTJG. MITCHELL: I-I'm not sure sir.
Captain Branson leaves the bridge.
CUT TO:
INT-USS ENTERPRISE TRANSPORTER ROOM
Transporter Chief Lieutenant Kayla Mackenzie is at her station.
CHIEF MACKENZIE (to com): Starfleet, override us! OVERRIDE...! Yank them back! 
Suddenly, from Mackenzie's console, a VIOLENT GLARE -- a PROTESTING SOUND from the circuitry. And on the con- sole a red-warning light now begins flashing.
STARFLEET OFFICER (com voice): Unable to retrieve their pattern, Enterprise....!
Mackenzie reacts in real horror now as human forms begin to FAINTLY MATERIALIZE, then FADE AWAY, then REAPPEAR IN FAINTLY MISSHAPEN FORM as she frantically works con- trols. Branson ENTERS fast, steps to the console to assist Mackenzie; Williams has also come in and moves to the console, brushes aside the Asst. Chief, and begins manipulating the additional controls herself. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: We're losing their patterns!
CAPT. BRANSON (to com): Starfleet boost your matter gain.
CHIEF MACKENZIE: Oh no their forming.
CLOSER ON THE TRANSPORTER CHAMBER (O) 77
with the human forms FLUTTERING INTO FULLER AND FULLER MATERIALIZATION, FRIGHTENINGLY, HORRIBLY MISSHAPEN. We RECOGNIZE one form as the Vulcan, Xon -- They MATERIALIZE; we HEAR A MOAN form from the Vulcan -- the man's SCREAM OF PAIN. Then, all at once, the half-materialized bodies are gone; the transporter chamber is empty. 
CAPT. BRANSON: My god, Enterprise to Utopia Starbase did you get them back?
UTOPIA STARBASE OFFICER (com voice): Enterprise... what we got back didn't live long. Fortunately
Another moment of stunned silence, and then Branson hits the transmission button -- fighting to control his voice as: 
CAPT. BRANSON (to com): Starfleet... Branson. Please... express my condolences to their families. Lieutenant Commander Xon's can be reached through the Vulcan Embassy. (see Mackenzie's stricken expression) There was nothing you could have done, Chief. It wasn't your fault. 
John leaves the transporter room.
CUT TO:
INT-USS ENTERPRISE DECK SEVEN CORRIDOR
Branson exits the transporter room and walks through the corridor thinking and then walks by another officer, and thinking that if someone more experienced was onboard could of prevented this horrible accident.
CAPT. BRANSON: Yeoman turbo-shaft eight?
ENTERPRISE YEOMAN: Back that way sir.
CAPT. BRANSON: Thank you.
Branson walks over to see his new first officer and friend Z.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: John you did everything that you could of done to prevent it.
CAPT. BRANSON (sighs): I know Z but I'd like to have a Vulcan at the science station if possible.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: We do have one that hasn't been assigned to a starship yet her name is T'Lar she's currently at Starbase Twenty-Two awaiting our arrival, along with her husband Doctor Steven Carlson who's been working at the Starbase as its chief medical officer since the Sector 764 incident.
CAPT. BRANSON: Inform them we're on our way.
She nods.
CUT TO:

INT-USS HARRISON MAIN BRIDGE
Transparent viewer shows the outpost as the crew are working at their stations, as we see Captain Jamie Towe sitting in the Captain's chair as Lieutenant Johnson reports. 
LTJG. JOHNSON: We're approaching Outpost Four now ma'am.
CAPT. TOWE: Very well then park us next to it.
LTJG. JOHNSON: Aye, Captain.
Lieutenant Johnson inputs commands into the helm station.
LTJG. TARU: Captain the Outpost's communication array is damaged.
Captain Towe walks over to the science station.
CAPT. TOWE: How bad is it?
She runs her scans.
LTJG. TARU: A simple repair should be able bring it back on-line.
Captain Towe turns to Commander Clarkson.
CAPT. TOWE: Kyle take a team over to Outpost Four and restore their communication array and be careful. 
LTCMDR. CLARKSON (nods): Yes, ma'am. 
Commander Clarkson gets up and heads for the turbo-lift as Commander Anthony Tate turns to Captain Towe.
CMDR. TATE: I wonder why they're having issues with their communications relay?
Captain Towe turns to him.
CAPT. TOWE: I'm not sure Tony but let's hope we can find out what it is. 
As she walks back to her Captain's chair at the tactical station Lieutenant Jenny Sinclair reports.
LT. SINCLAIR: Uh ma'am the deflectors just came on for some unknown reason. 
CAPT. TOWE: What's the reason? 
Then all of the sudden a huge jolt rocks the ship hard, lights dim and red lights bathe the bridge in crimson red as the alert klaxon blares. 
CAPT. TOWE: WHAT HIT US!
LT. TARU: I'm not sure ma'am but it read as a disruptor fire! One Romulan warbird off port bow!
Captain Towe worried.

COMM. KIRK: I want to apologize for rushing you into the chair. 
CAPT. BRANSON: More like you kidnapped me into the chair when I needed time to recover from getting Spock killed last year. 
Jim puts a ioslinear chip in the wall monitor as it activates and shows a distorted transmission from the USS Harrison a Daedalus-Class cruiser. 
CAPT. TOWE (monitor, static): This is....of the Harrison we're under heavy....and are requesting....up....
John slumps back in the chair. 
COMM. KIRK: That's all we were able to get from them so far all contact hasn't been reestablished. 
CAPT. BRANSON: I have a friend on the Harrison he was my best man at mine and Jessica's wedding. 
Jim sits in the chair in front of the desk.
COMM. KIRK (sighs): John I understand that you're hesitant about taking command of the Enterprise but you have been working your butt off to get that fourth bar and you've proven time and time again that you are a worthy successor to take command of the Enterprise from me. 
John leans back in the chair. 
JOHN: Jim you don't want me in that chair I almost got someone killed how can I make the big choices here and now with this situation?
