EXT-WARP TUNNEL
Enterprise is at warp speed.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
The senior staff is around the table.
CAPT. BRANSON: What did you and your team find?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Not a damn thing sir its strange I scanned the Commander's quarters but found no trace of the issues the gravity plating is working perfectly.
LTCMDR. KAL: Are you kidding me I almost broke my neck?
LT. SMITH: It's not just the gravity plating half of the ship's systems are being thrown out of whack.
CAPT. BRANSON: T'Shara what do the sensors say?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Something's distorting our wake pattern. 
The wall monitor shows the plasma wake of the Enterprise.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: You're right. The plasma exhaust shouldn't be flaring that close to the ship. 
LT. MASON: EM residue in the exhaust ports? 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: No, we checked. They're clean.
Captain Branson turns to Lieutenant Mason.
CAPT. BRANSON: Jack, if we ignited the plasma exhaust, what kind of damage would it do to the nacelles? 
LT. MASON [confused]: Sir?
CAPT. BRANSON: How much damage?
LT. MASON: If we raise the deflectors, it should be all right as long as we maintained at least half impulse. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Kara take us to half impulse.
LT. CARLSON: Aye, sir.
They leave the ready room.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
The senior staff walks onto the bridge and assume their stations.
CAPT. BRANSON: Kara, slow to half impulse.
LT. CARLSON: Aye, sir.
Both Lieutenant Carlson and Lieutenant Mitchell assume their stations as Lieutenant Carlson inputs commands into the helm station.
LT. CARLSON: Slowing to half impulse now sir.
CAPT. BRANSON: Aft view.
[A view from the aft of the saucer section on the viewscreen.]
CAPT. BRANSON: Set all sensors to record.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Aye, sir.
LT. MASON: Aft deflectors are at maximum sir.
CAPT. BRANSON: Ready a photon.
Lieutenant Mason works his console.
LT. MASON: Torpedo ready.
CAPT. BRANSON: Fire!
Lieutenant Mason presses the firing button.
EXT-SPACE
The aft launcher fires and ignited the plasma as a shadow of a vessel shows up.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
John walks to the viewer.
CAPT. BRANSON: Play it back, slowly. Go back and freeze it at the flashpoint. Creep it forward a little. There.
[A ship is silhouetted against the bright light.]
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Looks like we've got ourselves a hitchhiker. 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: They must of be using some sort of cloak.
LT. MITCHELL: I wonder how long they've been following us?
CAPT. BRANSON: Long enough to throw half our systems out of whack. I'm sure they know we've detected them. Open hailing frequencies. 
LT. SMITH: Ship to ship visuals are down.
CAPT. BRANSON: Audio then.
Lieutenant Smith inputs command into the communications console.
LT. SMITH: You're on.
CAPT. BRANSON [to com]: This is John Branson Captain of the Federation Starship U.S.S. Enterprise. I don't need to tell you where we are. Your presence is disrupting a number of our systems. Please back away to a distance of at least ten kilometers and respond. 
CAPT. TRENA'L [com voice]: We ask you not to harm us. We are complying with your request. We ask you not to harm us
LT. MITCHELL: They're moving of sir.
CAPT. BRANSON [to com]: We have no intention of harming you, but I wouldn't mind an explanation.
CAPT. TRENA'L [com voice]: I apologize for any damage we've caused. Our engines are malfunctioning and we've been using your plasma exhaust to replenish our teraphasic coils. It's allowed us to share your warp field
Commander Williams looks at the engineering console and reports.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Their warp reactor is off-line. 
CAPT. BRANSON: We can't help you unless we can see you, so why don't you disconnect whatever stealth device you're using. 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Sensors are detecting a vessel decloaking off our port bow.
EXT-FEDERATION SPACE
A vessel decloaks aft of the Enterprise.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE TRANSPORTER ROOM
Commander Williams walks into the transporter room wearing tactical gear and has her engineer kit and walks onto the pad.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Energize.
Chief Mackenzie inputs commands into the transporter console and activates the transportation system as Commander Williams dematerialized.
INT-XYRILLIAN SHIP MAIN BRIDGE
Commander Williams materialized aboard the vessel.
CAPT. TRENA'L: Greetings I am Captain Trena'l welcome to our vessel.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Thank you Captain I am Lieutenant Commander Stephanie Williams Chief Engineer.
CAPT. TRENA'L: This is Ah'len our chief engineer.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: I think I'd like to take a look at that engine room of yours.
AH'LEN: Follow me.
Commander Williams follows her.
INT-XYRILLIAN SHIP MAIN ENGINEERING
[They are lying underneath lots of coils and tubing with changing light colors.]
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: This is incredible I never seen this type of engine design.
AH'LEN: These are the teraphasic coils. The wider ones have lost their cohesion. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [re: tricorder]: I see the issue here.
Commander Williams removes the damaged coil.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: The coil runs your teraphasic drive lost their cohesion we'll need to replace the unit with a brand new coil.
AH'LEN: How long will that take?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Not long I'll have to have the part beamed over from the Enterprise.
EXT-SPACE
As the Enterprise is facing the Xyrilliian vessel.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
LTCMDR. T'SHARA [to com]: Are the injector cells aligned with the primary coil? 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [com voice]: Aligned and locked. You're not going to believe this. They've got grass growing on the floor. Real grass. It's even green. Is Vulcan grass green? 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA [to com]: Have you tested the ion matrix, Commander? 
INT-XYRILLIAN SHIP MAIN ENGINEERING
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [to com]: I've recharged the assembly. Is it up to point four yet?
 
ALIEN: Point four three. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Keep pumping up the gradient. If we can get it up to point five the coils should come back online.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [com voice]: All by themselves
CAPT. BRANSON [smiles]: Wonder how well she's doing.
LT. CARLSON: Before you know it, she'll have that engine room running like a well-oiled machine. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [com voice]: Williams to Enterprise
Captain Branson toggles the com panel on the right side of his Captain's chair.
CAPT. BRANSON [to com]: Martin here go ahead.
CUT TO:
INT-XYRILLIAN SHIP MAIN ENGINEERING
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [to com]: We're nearly ready to bring the warp reactor online. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours.
CAPT. BRANSON [com voice]: Acknowledged Commander we'll be ready to beam you over when you're finished
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [to com]: Very well Captain Williams out.
She ends the com call.
AH'LEN: It will take a while for the coils to regenerate. Come with me. There's something I want you to see. 
They leave the engine room.
CUT TO:
INT-XYRILLIAN SHIP HOLODECK
They enter the room.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Is this a holodeck?
AH'LEN: Yes it is I assume you heard of it?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Only from the mission reports of Commander Tucker.
[She presses a couple of buttons and the room changes to an alien planet landscape.]
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: No voice activation system impressive.
AH'LEN: That's Thera. It's where I come from.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Wow.
[Then she changed it to the same room and she uses the holodeck control to call up a square urn with clear granules in it.]
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [confused]: What's this?
AH'LEN: This is a game we play. Watch. 
(She puts her hand into it and it glows slightly.) 
AH'LEN: Go ahead. 
She does the same thing.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Wow, this is impressive.
Then the com activates.
ALIEN [OC]: Reactor room to Ah'len. The coils are coming back online
AH'LEN [to com]: Understood.
[She turns the holodeck off.]
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE TRANSPORTER ROOM
Commander Williams beams back as Captain Branson and Doctor Carlson are waiting.
DR. CARLSON [re: medical tricorder]: You are just fine Commander Away team protocol. Crew members are required to submit to a physical if the mission lasts more than two weeks.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Sure, Doc let me just take these tools back to Engineering.
DR. CARLSON: Don't be late.
Commander Williams leaves.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
Captain Branson walks onto the bridge from the lift as Lieutenant Smith reports.
LT. SMITH: Sir, I was able to get the ship to ship visual back on-line.
CAPT. BRANSON: On screen.
The transparent viewer shows the bridge of the vessel.
CAPT. BRANSON: Captain Trena'l it's nice to meet you face to face on the viewer.
CAPT. TRENA'L [viewer]: I hope your mission hasn't been overly delayed.
CAPT. BRANSON [smiles]: It's alright our second mission is to render aid to ships in distress.
CAPT. TRENA'L [viewer]: Send my thanks to your chief engineer
CAPT. BRANSON: I will.
CAPT. TRENA'L [viewer]: Safe journey Captain
CAPT. BRANSON [nods]: Same to you.
Transmission ends as the viewer shows the vessel come about and leaps into warp.

Enterprise is at warp.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE SICKBAY
Commander Williams is sitting on the bio-bed as Doctor Carlson is giving her a full psychical.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: So what's the good news Doc?
DR. CARLSON [re: Medical tricorder]: Well, you've got no foreign virus but there's something strange with your bio-readings.
[He rolls her sleeve up and he notices strange red mark on her wrist.]
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: What's that?
[Doctor Carlson opens the tricorder and scans the red mark on her wrist.]
DR. CARLSON [re: Medical tricorder]: It's not an allergic reaction to anything from there.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: What is it?
Doctor Carlson closes his medical tricorder.
DR. CARLSON: It seems you did a little more than repair work. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [confused]: Steven what are you talking about?
DR. CARLSON: This is a nipple. 
(The mark on Stephanie's wrist.) 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Come again?
He opens the tricorder and scans her again.
DR. CARLSON [re: medical tricorder]: Ah, the blastocyst is located between the sixth and seventh intercostals.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: What the hell are you talking about Pete?
He looks at her.
DR. CARLSON: I'm not quite sure if congratulations are in order, Commander, but you're pregnant.
Stephanie is shocked at what Doctor Carlson said.

INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE SICKBAY
Commander Williams is laying on the surgical bay as the large medical scanner is over her body, at the console Doctor Carlson, Captain Branson, and Commander Ivanova are there as Doctor Carlson gives his medical report.
DR. CARLSON: Here, do you see that cell cluster? That is the embryo. I assume you'll be happy to know that it's not technically your child.
Commander Williams gets up from the bio-bed and has her uniform jacket and walks over to them.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: What do you mean?
DR. CARLSON: When reproducing, the Xyrillians only utilize the genetic material of the mother. The males simply serve as hosts.
CAPT. BRANSON: But Courtney's female how did she get pregnant?
Doctor Carlson crosses his arms.
DR. CARLSON: We don't have any data on their mating procedures.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: But again I'm female how did another female knock me up!?
DR. CARLSON: Commander calm down.
Williams paces about.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: There's got to be some way to get this thing out of me without hurting it. Can't you create a surrogate chamber or something? 
DR. CARLSON: The embryo has integrated with your pericardium. I wouldn't be comfortable extracting it without more information on the gestation process. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Find the information.
DR. CARLSON [nods]: Yes, sir.
The camera shows the embryo.
EXT-WARP TUNNEL
Enterprise is at warp.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
At the aft stations Commander T'Shara, Lieutenant Mason and Lieutenant Commander Williams who looks like she's not feeling well.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Are you certain you made the correct sensor modifications? 
LT. MASON: Yes, absolutely certain. Their last trajectory?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: We've altered our course to match.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [starting to feel worse]: How do we know they haven't changed their heading?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: We don't, but we've compensated to detect their stealth telemetry. We should be able to locate them.
LT. MASON: It may take a while. Why exactly are we trying to find that ship? 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Yes. I thought you provided all the services they required.
LT. MASON: Steph? Is something wrong?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: I think I'm just going to go lie down for a while.
LT. MASON: Commander, if we tune the UV sensors to the omicron band, we should be able to isolate their plasma trail a good deal faster. Do you think you could spare a minute just to help me recalibrate them? 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: I'm afraid this isn't a very good time.
[makes a dash for another door, hand over mouth, noises of being sick out of camera shot.]

LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: How?
DR. CARLSON: I'm not sure but it appears that the embryo must of caused you to pass out.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: So what do you recommend?
DR. CARLSON: I am not sure but hopefully we'll find them.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: And what do I do in the meantime?
DR. CARLSON: I'm not sure but stick to regular clothes.

Commander Williams leans on the rail.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [annoyed]: Where the hell are the Xyrillians?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: It appears your repairs didn't last very long. If I'm correct, they're hiding in the Klingon's plasma wake. 
Captain Branson walks in front of the helm and navigational stations.
CAPT. BRANSON: Julia, open a channel to the Klingon cruiser.
Lieutenant Mason turns to Captain Branson.
LT. MASON: Sir, with all due respect, do we really think this is a wise idea? 
CAPT. BRANSON: If we're going to speak to the Xyrillians, we can't do it without the Klingons knowing about it. Open a channel.
Lieutenant Smith inputs commands into the communications console.
LT. SMITH: Hailing frequencies open sir.
CAPT. BRANSON: This is Captain Martin of the Federation starship Enterprise.
