EXT-WARP TUNNEL
The Enterprise is at high warp.
CAPT. BRANSON'S (voice over): Captain's Log Stardate 54543.3, We're on course for a nearby star system to chart a new dwarf star let's hope it is gonna be a very quiet assignment
INT-USS ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN BRANSON'S QUARTERS
John gets up and looks out at the energy stream of the warp tunnel and gets ready for duty.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN ENGINEERING
The engineers are at their stations or at the pool table as one of the officers walks over to Commander James.
CREWMAN: Commander?
He hands Commander James the PADD.
LTCMDR. JAMES [re: PADD]: This can't be right. Did you run a diagnostic? 
CREWMAN: Twice. 
LTCMDR. JAMES: Let's check those relays.
They go to check the relays.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE TURBO-LIFT CART
Captain Branson stands in the middle as the lift heads to the bridge when all of the sudden the ship shakes slightly.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
COMMANDER KAL's in command, KAYE and N.D.s are at stations. Jamie's checking
a console.
CMDR. KAL: What was that?
LT. KAYE: We just dropped out of warp.
Commander Kal gets up from the Captain's chair and walks over to the helm station.
CMDR. KAL: What's the problem?
LT. KAYE: We were hit by some kind of shockwave.
CMDR. KAL: Source?
LT. KAYE: Checking.
Suddenly, the monitor on her console goes blank, and an OMEGA symbol appears. Kaye tries to work the console, but nothing happens.
LT. KAYE: Hold on. I just lost all my sensor readings. The computer's bringing up some kind of message, but I can't access it. You'd better take a look at this. 
CMDR. KAL: I see it.
She sits back in the Captain's chair and inputs commands into the left arm rest console.
LT. KAYE: What is it?
CMDR. KAL: I'm not sure.
She works the arm rest console for a moment, then reacts with some surprise at the results.
CMDR. KAL: I have no idea. My command codes aren't working. The computer says I have insufficient clearance to access the message. We can't function like this. I'm going to get Sito up here to trace the source.
But before she can make the com call, the Turbolift doors OPEN and Branson strides onto the Bridge, purposeful.
CAPT. BRANSON: Don't do anything. I'll take care of this.
He stops at an aft console, and enters a few commands. The Omega symbol disappears.
CAPT. BRANSON: Send all sensor data about the particle wave to my Ready Room. Jamie, disengage engines and hold position here.
CMDR. KAL [confused]: Captain, what's going on?
CAPT. BRANSON: I can't explain right now. Don't discuss any of this with the rest of the crew. I'll have further instructions for you soon.
He EXITS into the Ready Room, leaving the Bridge crew to exchange curious looks - what's going on?

INT-USS ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
[EPISODE NOTES: OPENING CREDITS FALL OVER OPENING SCENES]
Branson enters and goes to his desk.
CAPT. BRANSON (to com): Computer, seal the doors to this room. No entry without my authorization. 
COMPUTER VOICE: Doors are sealed
Branson sits, and activates his desktop monitor. The Omega symbol
appears.
CAPT. BRANSON (to com): Access secured datafile Omega One.
COMPUTER VOICE: Voiceprint confirmed. State clearance code
CAPT. BRANSON (to com): Branson two-five-zero-eight-three-blue, clearance level ten.
COMPUTER VOICE: Confirmed
The image on the monitor changes to a graphic of a small star chart. There's a DOT in the center, representing Enterprise, and a line tracing a course from it.
COMPUTER VOICE: Sensors have detected the Omega phenomenon within one-point-two light years of this vessel. Implement the Omega Directive immediately. All other priorities have been rescinded
Branson takes this in for a moment, grim.
CAPT. BRANSON: (to com) Display sensor data.
As he settles in to study the information.
EXT-SHACKLETON EXPANSE
The Enterprise is at station keeping.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN ENGINEERING
Commander Kal is passing out PADDs to Commander James, Commander T'Mir, and Lieutenant Kaye.
CMDR. KAL (to all): I've been informed that this is a highly classified mission. Information will be provided on a need-to-know basis. Captain's orders.
LTCMDR. JAMES: Classified by who we're far from Federation Space.
CMDR. KAL: Like I said- need-to-know.
They start looking over the PADDS.
CMDR. KAL [to James]: Courtney...he wants you to install multiphasic shielding around the warp core.
LTCMDR. JAMES [re: PADD]: I've never seen this shield configuration. I'd like to run a few computer simulations to make sure it's stable. 
CMDR. KAL: No time. He needs this done by eleven hundred hours. 
LTCMDR. JAMES: Eleven hundred? I'm not sure that's possible...
CMDR. KAL: Make it possible have Jack help you,
LTCMDR. T'MIR: Are we attempting to protect the core from some form of subspace radiation?
CMDR. KAL: I don't know anymore than you do.
LTCMDR. T'MIR (raise an eyebrow): It would be hard to complete the task without more data.
CMDR. IVANOVA (sighs): The data you've got will have to do. (to Kaye) Jamie, start modifying a Shuttlecraft to withstand extreme thermal stress. Twelve thousand Kelvins, at least.
LT. KAYE: Aye, Commander.
Courtney can't resist asking.
LTCMDR. JAMES: Does all this have something to do with that secret message the
Captain received?
Kal shoots her a glance.
CMDR. KAL: What have you heard?
LTCMDR. JAMES: Rumors, mainly. Branson's been locked in her Ready Room for the past sixteen hours... and something about an "Omega Directive"
CMDR. KAL: Look, the speculation ends right here. Now, I expect you to carry out your assignments with a minimum of gossip. Understood?
Everyone acknowledges.
CMDR. KAL [sighs, lightly]: I know it's hard not to wonder... frankly, I'm curious myself. But the Captain was very adamant about this. (beat) Get going.
Everyone starts working.
EXT-SHACKLETON EXPANSE
Enterprise is at station keeping.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
Fleet Admiral Alynna Nechayev is on the wall monitor.
FLT ADM. NECHAYEV (monitor): If Omega is back then we've got a huge problem
CAPT. BRANSON: Admiral, we're out here already send the Enterprise you don't have to send a team it would take them an hour to get to our position.
Nechayev thinks.
FLT ADM. NECHAYEV (monitor): Very well but keep me appraised of your mission
CAPT. BRANSON (nods): Aye, Admiral.
FLT ADM. NECHAYEV (monitor): Nechayev out
Transmission ends as Captain Branson sits at his desk looking at his monitor showing a graphic of an OMEGA MOLECULE - a crystalline, jewel-like sphere, slowly spinning, glowing with energy, almost alive. As Branson studies it, troubled.

INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE SICKBAY
Doctor Langford is facing Captain Branson is mid-conversation.
DR. LANGFORD (alarmed): Arithrazine? What for?
Captain Branson faces him.
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm going on an Away Mission.
Doctor Langford turns to him.
DR. LANGFORD: What are you planning to do enter a supernova?
CAPT. BRANSON: Something like that Steven twenty milligrams. When can you have it ready?
Doctor Langford puts the PADD down.
DR. LANGFORD: Captain... arithrazine is used for the most extreme cases of theta-radiation poisoning. A physician must be present to monitor the treatment.
CAPT. BRANSON: That won't be possible.
DR. LANGFORD: Then I'm afraid I can't accommodate you. I'd be in violation of Starfleet Medical Protocols.
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm overriding those protocols.
DR. LANGFORD (scoffs): Don't tell me Omega Directive never heard of never cared.
CAPT. BRANSON: Arithrazine Pete?
DR. LANGFORD: It will be ready by 1300 hours.
CAPT. BRANSON: Good have it brought to the shuttle bay.
Branson turns to go.
DR. LANGFORD: John... I don't know what's going on here... but I'd hate this to be the last time I ever see you. (beat) Please be careful.
John is touched by his sentiment, but he's resolved to see this mission through. he nods, then turns to go...
EXT-SHACKLETON EXPANSE'
The Enterprise is at impulse speed.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE SCIENCE LAB
Lieutenant Mason and Lieutenant Sito working on a PHOTON TORPEDO, which has a panel open on it. This is a delicate operation, and they're quiet and focused.
LT. MASON: Phase modulator.
Sito gives him an instrument, and Mason uses it on the internal circuitry of the torpedo.
LT. MASON: Detonator circuits?
Sito checks a console reading.
LT. SITO: On standby.
LT. MASON (sighs): We're ready to load the gravimetric charge.
Sito very carefully hands Mason a narrow CYLINDER - the actual CHARGE.
LT. SITO: This looks like enough for a fifty isoton explosion.
Lieutenant Mason places the cylinder into the torpedo casing.
LT. MASON: Fifty-four, to be exact.
LT. SIT: What are we planning to do, blow up a small planet?
LT. MASON: I don't know.
LT. SIT: This warhead isn't standard issue... who designed it, the Captain?
CAPT. BRANSON'S VOICE: (lightly) Sito... you ask too many questions.
REVEAL Branson, who has just ENTERED the room. he moves to them.
CAPT. BRANSON: (continuing) Change of plans, gang. Increase the charge to eighty isotons.
A beat. Jack raises a brow.
CAPT. BRANSON: Sito, when you're done here, give Courtney a hand with the shuttlecraft. She's reinforcing the hull.
LT. SITO (nods): Aye, sir.
Captain Branson leaves.
LT. SITO: Well guess we'll have to remove the charge.
LT. MASON: I guess so.
They get to work.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE ASTROMETRIC'S LAB
Branson is working on a console when the doors chimed.
CAPT. BRANSON: Come.
Doors opened and Commander Kal enters and walks over to him.
CAPT. BRANSON: Report?
CMDR. KAL: Everything's going according to schedule.
CAPT. BRANSON: Good. The Omega Directive doesn't allow me to say much... but I want you to know what to expect. (beat) At oh-six-hundred hours, I'll be leaving in a shuttle with Commander T'Mir.
CMDR. KAL: Would it be out of line to ask where you're going?
Branson pauses - he'd like to tell her but he can't.
CAPT. BRANSON: I can tell you this: One of two things is going to happen...either T'Mir and I will succeed on our mission, and return within a few days... or your long-range sensors will detect a large explosion in subspace. If that occurs, you'll have less than ten seconds to jump to warp, and get the hell out of here. Head for Starbase 364 and don't look back. (beat) Understood?
Kal doesn't like the sound of this... and this entire situation is starting to get under her skin.
CMDR. KAL (scoffs): I always thought Starfleet was run by duty-crazed bureaucrats... but I find it hard to believe that even they would order a Captain to go on a suicide mission. (beat) This shuttle excursion is your idea, isn't it?
CAPT. BRANSON: Well let's just say that I had to do something different due to a specialist team being too far to provide help.
Commander Kal paces about.
CMDR. KAL: John this is dumb you shouldn't have to be asked to do this we work together as a team.
John thinks then turns to her.
CAPT. BRANSON: Assemble the troops.
She nods and leaves the lab.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
Branson is on his feet, facing Kal, Mason, Sito, James, Langford, Kaye, and T'Mir. The mood is tense, filled with anticipation.
CAPT. BRANSON: If it wasn't for the permission of Admiral Picard for me to share this with you, we wouldn't be having this conversation. They'd send in a specialized team to deal with the crisis. In their absence, we're going to have to make do with the training I've received.
He moves to the wall MONITOR, taps a control. The OMEGA SYMBOL seen earlier appears.
CAPT. BRANSON (continuing): You've all seen this symbol. Omega, the last letter of the Greek alphabet. Chosen by Starfleet to represent a threat not only to the Federation, but to the entire galaxy. Only starship captains and Federation Flag Officers have been briefed on the nature of this threat. What you're about to hear will not go beyond these bulkheads, is that clear? Good. 
He inputs commands into the monitor and it shows the Omega particle.
CAPT. BRANSON: Meet Omega.
LT. KAYE (Confused): A molecule?
CAPT. BRANSON: Not just any molecule. The most powerful substance known to exist. A single Omega molecule contains the same energy as a warp core. In theory, a small chain of them could sustain a civilization. The molecule was first synthesized over a hundred years ago, by a Starfleet physicist named Ketteract. I think he was hoping to develop an inexhaustible power source.
LTCMDR. T'MIR: Or a weapon that he could use or Starfleet could use against the Klingons?
CAPT. BRANSON: Possibly.
He changes it to the Federation Science Station with a breach in it.
CAPT. BRANSON: This was a classified research station in the Lantaru Sector. Ketteract and one hundred twenty six of the Federation's leading scientists were lost in the accident. Rescue teams attempting to reach the site discovered an unexpected secondary effect. There were subspace ruptures extending out several light years.
Lieutenant Kaye recalls something she learned at the Academy.
LT. KAYE: The Lantaru Sector. It's impossible to create a stable warp field there. You can only fly through it at sub-light speeds. I was always told that was a natural phenomenon. You're saying it was caused by a single molecule of this stuff?
CAPT. BRANSON: Omega destroys subspace. A chain reaction involving a handful of molecules could devastate subspace throughout an entire Quadrant. If that were to happen, warp travel would become impossible. Space-faring civilization as we know it would cease to exist. When Starfleet realized Omega's power, they suppressed all knowledge of it. 
DR. LANGFORD: And we've detected Omega here in the Shackleton Expanse?
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm afraid so.
The rest of the senior staff are tensed up.
CAPT. BRANSON: I've been authorized to use whatever means necessary to destroy it. Kara, I've calculated the location of the molecules. I'll transfer the coordinates to the helm. Take us there at full impulse.
LT. KAYE (nods): Aye, sir.
Captain Branson puts the PADD down and surveys his officers for a moment.
CAPT. BRANSON: I don't have to tell you what's at stake. If a large-scale Omega explosion occurs, we and any space-faring species that depend on warp drive in this sector will lose the ability to go to warp forever. We've got our work cut out for us dismissed.
They leave the briefing room as Captain Branson stands there thinking and then leaves the briefing room.

The Enterprise is at impulse speed.
CAPT. BRANSON'S (voice over): Computer- encrypt log entry. (a beep) Captain's Log, Supplemental. We're approaching the star system where we believe we'll find Omega. I have to admit, I've never been this apprehensive about a mission...
INT-USS ENTERPRISE DECK TWELVE CORRIDOR
Captain Branson heads to a nearby turbo-lift.
CAPT. BRANSON'S (voice over, continuing): I know how Einstein must've felt about the atom bomb... or Marcus when she developed the genesis device. They watched helplessly as science took a destructive course...
He enters the lift.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE TURBO-LIFT
Captain Branson stands there as his log continues.
CAPT. BRANSON'S (voice over, continuing): But I have the chance to prevent that from happening. I just hope it's not too late
It stopped on the bridge.
CUT TO
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
Captain Branson walks onto the bridge as Commander Kal vacates the command chair and sits in the XO chair as Captain Branson sits in the Captain's chair.
CAPT. BRANSON: Report?
LT. KAYE: We're approaching the nebula sir.
CAPT. BRANSON: Let's see it.
Transparent viewer shows the nebula.
LT. SITO: I can't get a good reading the nebula is putting out a lot of interference.
LT. KAYE: The damage to subspace in this region is extreme. We won't be able to go to warp.
The ship TREMBLES.
LT. MASON: We're encountering distortions. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Source?
LTCMDR. T'MIR: It's coming from the nebula bearing 2-1-4 mark 13.

Then the ship starts TREMBLING AGAIN.
CMDR. KAL: What is that?
LT. SITO: I'm not sure.
CAPT. BRANSON: Evasive.
Lieutenant Kaye inputs commands into the helm and engages thrusters.
CMDR. KAL: Was that a ship?
LT. MASON: Unknown.
Then the ship starts shaking again this time more violently as Lieutenant Sito reports.
LT. SITO: Another tritanium signature right on top of us!
EXT-NEBULA
The Enterprise moves through the nebula as a Borg Cube shows up.

The monitor shows the Borg Cube.
CMDR. KAL: Was there any indication that they detected us?
Lieutenant Mason turns to her.
LT. MASON: Negative.
CAPT. BRANSON: Where's the Cube now?
LTCMDR. T'MIR: Approximately three light years away.
Lieutenant Kaye folds her arms.
LT. KAYE: How could they not have seen us? We came within ten meters of their hull.
LTCMDR. T'MIR: Its possible that the radiation from the nebula messed with their sensors.
Captain Branson is sitting in the chair listening to the briefing.
CMDR. KAL: What the hell could they doing in that nebula?
LTCMDR. T'MIR: Unknown Commander but sensors did detect at least forty-seven Borg vessels.
Captain Branson leans forward thinking.
CAPT. BRANSON: Damn and the Omega Directive is clear we must destroy Omega.
CMDR. KAL: How there's at least forty-seven Borg vessels between us and it.
LT. MASON: We've got the gravimetric torpedo in the tube.
CAPT. BRANSON: I want a plan ready by the time I talk to Starfleet Command dismissed.
The senior staff leaves the briefing room.
EXT-SHACKLETON EXPANSE
The Enterprise is remaining at station keeping behind the moon.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [YELLOW ALERT]
Transparent viewer shows the next convoy of Borg vessels exiting transwarp.
LT. SITO: That's it nothing to see here just keep on going to wherever your suppose to go.
LT. KAYE: That's the fifth convoy to enter the nebula cloud, and the source of the Omega wave is coming from that nebula cloud.
Lieutenant Sito settles in the Captain's chair.
LT. SITO: That's true but we can't get near it without alerting the Borg.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM [YELLOW ALERT]
The Admiralty is on the wall monitor.
VICE ADM. CORNWELL (monitor): So the Borg are involved with Omega again
COMM. PICARD (monitor): ''If the Borg are back to full power then we're in trouble
CAPT. BRANSON: Sensors detected Omega in there but we can't get within weapons range without alerting the Borg to our presences.
FLEET ADM. NECHAYEV (monitor): Captain you have your orders to do the Omega Directive
CAPT. BRANSON (sighs): Aye, ma'am.
Transmission ends as Captain Branson thinks and then leaves his ready room.

INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE (RED ALERT)
WHUMPH!
LT. MASON: Deflectors still holding sir.
Ship continues to jolt harder and harder, then they hear the sounds of the cubes tractor beams.
LTCMDR. T'MIR: They are looking for away to adapt to our deflector modulations.
Then the ship violently shakes to port then starboard.
EXT-NEBULA CLOUD
All three cubes fire at the bridge section.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE (RED ALERT)
WHUMPH!
LT. MASON: Port deflectors down fifty percent, forty percent.

EXT-NEBULA CENTER
The Enterprise appears in the middle and approaches a Borg outpost.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE (RED ALERT)
Captain Branson gets up from the Captain's chair and walks up behind the ops and helm stations.
CAPT. BRANSON: What is that?
LTCMDR. T'LAR: It is a Borg outpost sir and Omega seems to be inside the complex.
CMDR. KAL: Can we get a lock on the outpost with the transphasic torpedoes?
LT. MASON: We're too far to get a lock with them but the gravimetric torpedo won't have a problem both me and Sito programed Omega's signature into the targeting sensors.
EXT-NEBULA CLOUD CENTER
Three Borg Spheres head towards the Enterprise.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE (RED ALERT)
