The Tressaurian Intersection (TOS episode)

The Tressaurian Intersection is the 6th episode of the first season in Starship Enterprise.
==Synopsis==
Starbase 16 is destroyed and Captain Martin's old ship, the USS Kongo, is missing. On a hunt for the perpetrators, the Enterprise encounters a strange ghost out of Lieutenant Mason's past--the Tressaurians: a savage race responsible for the destruction of the U.S.S. Olson. Now, the Tressuarians are tampering with deadly new technology. Can the crew of the Enterprise uncover its secrets in time, or will this discovery lead to an even greater threat?

Enterprise is at impulse speed.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
The crew are at their stations as Captain Martin enters wearing his green wrap around uniform.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Captain on the bridge.
Ensign Vani Richards checks herself and then walks over to the Captain and Commander.
CAPT. MARTIN: Report?
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: We're on course for Corinth IV so far no contact from the Kongo or Starbase I took the ship to yellow alert.
Captain Martin sits in the Captain's chair.
CAPT. MARTIN: ETA to Corinth IV?
Lieutenant Kaye checks her console read out.
LT. KAYE: We'll arrive in a few hours.
Captain Martin turns to Lieutenant Smith.
CAPT. MARTIN: Did the colony control say anything else about the attack?
LT. SMITH: No, sir not since their first distress call I have been unable to raise them since.
Captain Martin turns to T'Shara.
CAPT. MARTIN: Any other vessels in the system?
Commander T'Shara checks her sensors read out and reports.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: No, sir but I am detecting debris ahead from both Starfleet and a hull configuration I can't ID yet.
Transparent viewer shows debris.
CAPT. MARTIN: What do you think it could be?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: So it could be Klingon, Romulans, Tressaurians.
Lieutenant Mason tenses up at that name.
CAPT. MARTIN: Captain Kosnett is in command of the Kongo.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Yes he is but why would he take on whoever attacked without back up if he knew we were on our way?
CAPT. MARTIN: I don't know but unless he had no choice.
Then Lieutenant Kaye reports.
LT. KAYE: Approaching Corinth IV now sir.
Captain Martin gets up from the Captain's chair.
CAPT. MARTIN: On screen.
Transparent viewer shows the planet as everyone is shocked at the site.
LT. MASON [shocked]: My god what happened to the planet?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Unknown at the moment.
CAPT. MARTIN: I'm going down there Jack, T'Shara, Ensign Richards you're with me Una you've got the bridge.
The group enters the lift.
CUT TO:
EXT-CORITH IV SURFACE, DAY
The landing party materialized.
CAPT. MARTIN: Hmm, that's weird the last time I was here it was sunny.
The landing party moves out as they're walking up a hill John helps Ensign Richards up as they see the starbase and colony destroyed. 
LT. MASON: My god what happened to the colony?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA [re: tricorder]: Unknown.
Captain Martin gets out his communicator and flips it open as it beeps.
CAPT. MARTIN (to com): Martin to Enterprise Starbase 16 is gone is there any other vessels in the sector?
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY (com voice): No, sir sensors are still being blocked by the interference
Ensign Richards sees something and heads towards what she sees and screams as the others run towards her and they see the saucer section of the Kongo.

[EPISODE NOTES: OPENING CREDITS FALL OVER OPENING SCENES]
CAPT. MARTIN [voice over]: Captain's log supplemental, Responding to a distress call from the USS Kongo the ship I served on at one point in my career, we found the ship's main hull and the starbase it was protecting destroyed by an unknown weapon of unimaginable power
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
Captain Martin has a recorder in his hands as he's continuing the log.
CAPT. MARTIN (to com): There were no survives on the planet we are now searching for the Kongo's stardrive section in hopes that someone aboard it has survived. 
He closed the recorder and hands it back to Ensign Richards as Commander T'Shara reports.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: I was able to run a scan of what happened something of incredible power was fired at the colony that was at the subatomic levels no one could of survived that level of power.
CAPT. MARTIN: And the Kongo?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: The saucer was destroyed by conventional weapons phasers or disruptors, I have also picked up the ion trail of the Kongo's stardrive section feeding it to the helm.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jamie set a course.
LT. KAYE: Aye, sir.
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise flies by several pieces of debris and approaches the badly damaged Stardrive.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [YELLOW ALERT]
Transparent viewer shows the wreckage as Captain Martin gets up from the Captain's chair as he walks to the viewer.
CAPT. MARTIN: Bio-signs.
Commander T'Shara examines the Stardrive section of the Kongo.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: None but the interference is intense.
Then a gravitational wave moves over the ship.
LT. MASON: I thought you said these would get weaker?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Sir, I'm picking up an energy signature of unknown origin on the Kongo but can't pinpoint the area due to the damage to the stardrive section.
John turns to Kaye.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jamie bring us into transporter range.
LT. KAYE: Aye, sir.
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Rescue team to transporter room Commander you've got the bridge.
Captain Martin, Lieutenant T'Shara and Lieutenant Mason enters the lift as Commander Chin-Riley sits in the Captain's chair.

The away team beams in and they look around the damaged engineering section, Commander Williams checks the engines as they short out and she looks at Captain Martin.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Captain this ship's engines are shredded and the hull is too badly damaged to be towed all the way back to Federation space.
LT. MASON: We can't leave it here not in hostile space.
CAPT. MARTIN: Set the warp pods to blow and set so we can blow them from the Enterprise.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [nods]: Aye, sir.
CAPT. MARTIN: T'Shara download the Captain's Log entry.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA (nods): Aye, sir.
Both Captain Martin and Lieutenant Mason leave Main Engineering to search for survivors as Commander Williams sets the matter/anti-matter pods to blow and sets up a link to the Enterprise while Commander T'Shara is recovering the logs.
INT-U.S.S. KONGO DECK SEVEN CORRIDOR [RED ALERT, BATTLE DAMAGED]
Both Jack and John are searching for survivors.
LT. MASON: Captain!
They see a dead Tressaurian soldier.
CAPT. MARTIN: I was afraid of that.
John turns over the other body to reveal it to be Captain Kosnett.
CAPT. MARTIN: Captain Kosnett.
John's shocked by seeing the body of his former commanding officer thinking why didn't he wait for the Enterprise to arrive before he took the Tressaurian forces on then he sees something flashing as he walks to the doors and forces them open.
INT-U.S.S. KONGO CARGO BAY TWO [RED ALERT, BATTLE DAMAGED]
Both Martin and Mason enter as they see a strange looking device.
LT. MASON [re: tricorder]: This is the source of the gravity waves Captain.
Jack goes to touch the device to figure out how it works but is struck by an energy surge.
LT. MASON: AHHHH!!!!
INT-USS KONGO MAIN ENGINEERING UPPER LEVEL (RED ALERT, BATTLE DAMAGED)
Commander T'Mir screams as she falls to the floor convulsing violently as Commander James goes to her.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [worried]: T'Shara? Can you hear me?
T'Shara continues to convulse as Commander Williams gets out her communicator.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [to com]: Williams to Enterprise I have a medical emergency its Commander T'Shara.
T'Shara dematerializes from the Kongo.
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise is facing the badly damaged Kongo Stardrive section.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
The senior staff are around the table as Lieutenant Mason enters and has his hand wrapped up.
LT. MASON: T'Shara is still out like a blown warp relay.
He attempts to get him a cup of coffee but the holder is empty as he sits with the others.
 DR. LANGFORD: I've got T'Shara sedated for now she received some sort of energy wave that disrupted her synaptic patterns.
CAPT. MARTIN: Are the records ready?
LT. SMITH: Yes.
CAPT. MARTIN: Proceed.
She plays them.
CAPT. KOSNETT [wall monitor]: After losing contact with another relay we're proceeding to Outpost 15, hopefully the Tressaurians won't bother us but we're not so sure Science Officers Jameson thinks that I'm not being cautious enough being along the Tressauian border but I know that they won't break the cease fire
Screen fizzes out and the ship is at red alert.
CAPT. KOSNETT [wall monitor]: The Tressaurians have attacked us taken out our warp drive with one shot destroyed half of the forward section, I've ordered the crew to abandon ship but it seems that the Tressaurian are determined not to allow them to leave the ship alive. But I will cover them for as long as I can they must reach the nearest Federation Outpost to warn Starfleet Command of a Tressaurian threat.
TACTICAL OFFICER [O.S]: INCOMING!!!!
Screen fizzes out.
CAPT. MARTIN: What do we know about them?
ENS. RICHARDS: Tressaurians were bipedal and reptilian in appearance, with a thick, scaled epidermis, horns, a stiff neck frill, and clawed hands. They had considerable physical strength. 
LT. MASON: Damn.
CAPT. MARTIN: What's the Federation's relations with them?
ENS. RICHARDS: Relations with the Federation were hostile at best but so far no open war has been declared.
CAPT. MARTIN: Can we do something about it?
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: They damaged the Kongo's cargo bay in their final attack.
CAPT. MARTIN: What do you recommend?
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: We bring it aboard.
LT. MASON: Whoa, you wanna bring that thing aboard it bites I speak from experience.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: You didn't know what you were doing someone with more experience will have better luck.
CAPT. MARTIN: Who do you recommend?
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Lieutenant Hansen.
CAPT. MARTIN: Very well.

Commander Williams detonate the warp pods.
EXT-SPACE
The stardrive section explodes taking the cruiser with it.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
LT. MASON: Enemy vessel destroyed sir.
Captain Martin toggles the com panel.
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Martin to Transporter room report?
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [com voice]: We're aboard Captain Mister Hansen doesn't think that it's a weapon
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Explain?
LT. HANSEN [com voice]: I'll have to do further research before I can make a report sir
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Keep me posted Martin out.
He ends the com call.
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise is at impulse speed.
CAPT. MARTIN [voice over]: Captain's Log Stardate 5589.2, I've decided to remain in the system rather then take the device back to Starfleet
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
The crew are at their stations.
CAPT. MARTIN [voice over, continuing]: So far we've not detected any other Tressaurian vessels, but my chief tactical officer Lieutenant Mason has been a bit on edge since we discovered the Kongo. maybe he just needs a few days leave I am sure we all do but for now we've got a job to do and we'll get it done
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Captain, T'Shara is down in the transporter room with the device and wants us down there.
CAPT. MARTIN: Very well then Steph you've got the conn.
Captain Martin gets up from the Captain's chair as Commander Williams sits in the Captain's chair.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE TRANSPORTER ROOM
Commander T'Shara and Lieutenant Hansen are examining the strange looking device as the doors opened and both Captain Martin and Commander Chin-Riley enters.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Captain, we have made some progress on understanding the device.
CAPT. MARTIN: What do you have?
LT. HANSEN: When I approached the device to deactivate it we crossed a dimensional threshold of some kind. We literally stepped into another universe.
CAPT. MARTIN: That's when we lost contact with you two.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: This device generates a harmonic oscillation that resonates with the gravitational field of a nearby star or other massive space-time displacement.
CAPT. MARTIN: Go on.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: You throw a rock into a pond you get nice round ripples throw in a second rock near it and you get two sets of ripples cross one another.
LT. HANSEN: At that intersection, the predictable pattern of the surface becomes chaotic.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: If you want the mathematics of it...
CAPT. MARTIN: No, let's focus on the end result here.
LT. HANSEN: The result is to shift a large area of space into another universe that coexists with our own on a higher plane.
CAPT. MARTIN: And if something goes wrong?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: We have seen what happened on Corinth.
CAPT. MARTIN: And what makes you think that was an accident?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Captain, I doubt that the Tressaurians understand this device. They could not have invented it themselves. It would take us decades to figure out the physics required, and according to our own encounters with them the Tressaurians are not known for their dedication to pure science research. They stole this from someone and decided to test it at a safe distance from one of their own colonies.
LT. HANSEN: Then who did they steal it from?
WHUMPH! Klaxons blare.
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Martin to bridge report?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [com voice]: Three Tressaurian cruisers on an intercept course
They leave the transporter room.
EXT-SPACE
The Tressaurian vessels attack the Enterprise hitting it's forward deflectors and port deflectors.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
WHUMPH! The turbo-lift doors open as Captain Martin, Commander Chin-Riley and Commander T'Shara enter.
WHUMPH!
CAPT. MARTIN: Raise deflectors to full power! Come about to 182 mark 3!
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise moves to port as one of the Tressaurian cruisers moves in.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
CAPT. MARTIN: Ready torpedoes!
LT. MASON: Aye, sir!
CAPT. MARTIN: On my command.
Transparent viewer shows the approaching cruiser.
CAPT. MARTIN: FIRE!
Lieutenant Mason presses the panel.
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise unleashes a volley of torpedoes that destroys the cruiser.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
WHUMPH!
EXT-SPACE
The two cruisers are moving in.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
WHUMPH!
LT. MASON: Phaser control reports overloads and circuit burn-outs!
CAPT. MARTIN: Auxiliary power to phasers!
LT. MASON: Damage to forward deflectors!
Then calm as everyone looks around.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: The Tressaurians have broken off their attack sir.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE DECK SIX CORRIDOR (RED ALERT)
Two Tressaurian soldiers materialize as one of them has their version of a tricorder and go in search of the device.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
Transparent viewer shows the two warships.
LT. SMITH: We're being hailed by the lead Tressaurian warship sir.
CAPT. MARTIN: On screen.
Transparent viewer shows the bridge of the Tressaurian warship.
CAPT. MARTIN: I am John Martin Captain of the Federation Starship Enterprise representing the United Federation of Planets, why did you attack our Starbase and starships?
TRESSAURIAN CAPTAIN [translation]: You have been warned and yet you remain state your business in our territory
LT. MASON: They didn't want to talk before why now?
CAPT. MARTIN: Distraction!
LT. MASON [to com]: Security team to Transporter Room! On the double!
INT-USS ENTERPRISE DECK SIX CORRIDOR (RED ALERT)
The turbo-lift doors opened as two security guards draw their phasers and head to stop the intruders.
CAPT. MARTIN [com voice]: This is the Captain. Intruder Alert. Regular personnel clear decks six and seven
As the Tressaurian soldiers are moving through the corridor two Starfleet security officers are heading them off though one is killed and one Tressaurian is captured and the other killed.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE (RED ALERT)
TRESSAURIAN CAPTAIN [audio, translation]: You will leave our space immediately
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: We'll leave when we've determined what happened to our Starbase Captain.
TRESSAURIAN CAPTAIN [audio, translation]: This is your final warn---
Lieutenant Smith ends the hail.
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Go ahead.
SECURITY OFFICER (com voice): We've got one of the Tressaurian soldiers sir.
CAPT. MARTIN (to com): Take it to the brig.
LT. MITCHELL: How long till they realize that they've failed?
WHUMPH!
LT. KAYE: Not long enough.
WHUMPH!
WHUMPH!
LT. SMITH: Damage Control to decks seven and eight!
LT. KAYE: Captain, several unidentified vessels coming in at warp eight, multiple vectors.
Transparent viewer shows that its Tholian vessels.
CMDR. Y'NAR: Not good.
EXT-SPACE
The Tholian vessels take the ships out without breaking a sweat and then surrounds the Enterprise. 
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE (RED ALERT)
LT. MASON: Sir?
CAPT. MARTIN: Hold fire Mister Mason.
Then Lieutenant Smith reports.
LT. SMITH: On screen.
She brings the bridge of the Tholian vessel on the viewer and see a spider like creature. 
CMDR. THOKESS (viewer): I am Commander Thokess of the Tholian Assembly
CAPT. MARTIN: Captain John Martin USS Enterprise. Thank you for your assistance the Tressaurians were---.
CMDR. THOKESS [viewer]: The Tressaurians stole a valuable prototype device. Let their destruction serve as a warning. Leave this area immediately
CAPT. MARTIN: It is our understanding that under treaty this sector is open to exploration and peaceful settlement.
CMDR. THOKESS [viewer]: Your treaty was with the old assembly. the new assembly does not tolerate insolence
Then a high pitch whine deafens the ship on all decks as the crew is in sever pain holding their ears trying not to hear the sound that gets intense as the Tholian Commander watches. 
[END OF ACT 2, FADE OUT]
===Act 3===
FADE IN
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
Captain Martin and the bridge crew are in server pain from the high pitch and it quits as Captain Martin is surprised by the Tholian's sparing him and his crew as he looks at the viewer. 
CMDR. THOKESS [viewer]: With the destruction of the Tressaurians and our prototype this matter is resolved. Tholia does not seek conflict with the Federation. We find your attempt at diplomacy before action...interesting. Leave this area now
CAPT. MARTIN: Of course we'll comply Jamie take us out of this system full impulse.
LT. KAYE: Aye, sir.
CAPT. MARTIN: We're sorry about your device Commander.
CMDR. THOKESS [viewer]: It has served its purpose
Transmission ends.
CAPT. MARTIN: T'Shara, track those ships I wanna know where they go from here.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Aye, sir.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Captain?
CAPT. MARTIN: Commander Thokess called it a prototype. Prototype of what? Track from beyond the edge of their sensor range and feed the coordinates to the helm. I'll be in security Una you've got the bridge.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: John, we don't know much about the Tholians, I'm not sure about the sensor range of their ships. 
CAPT. MARTIN: Like Chris I have faith in your powers of scientific deduction, Commander, if you get us all blown up I'll be very disappointed.
Captain Martin leaves the bridge.
EXT-SPACE
The Tholian cruisers are at impulse unknown to them the Enterprise is following.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE BRIG AREA (RED ALERT)
The Tressaurian soldier is behind a force field.
LT. MASON: So far he's not said a word stubborn bastard.
Lieutenant Mason shows him the scanner.
LT. MASON: We took this off his dead partner its some sort of scanner that locks onto the device and allows it to be beamed away.
CAPT. MARTIN: I want some answers and I want them now your buddies were destroyed by the Tholians in about 10 seconds.
TRESSAURIAN SOLDIER [translator]: We have the right to defend our territory
CAPT. MARTIN: By destroying a starbase and killing thousands of people?
TRESSAURIAN SOLDIER [translator]: Your starbase was unimportant, a necessary sacrifice. We protect what is ours
CAPT. MARTIN: By stealing from the Tholians?
TRESSAURIAN SOLDIER [translator]: They are the thieves. They plot to steal our space. We'll grind the bones over every Tholian in the quadrant to dust before we surrender a parsec, Captain Martin
Captain Martin is surprised that he knows who he is.
TRESSAURIAN SOLDIER [translator]: Yes we are familiar with your father he led the attack force that pushed our forces back from a Federation colony
John leaves the brig.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
Turbo-lift doors opened and both Captain Martin and Lieutenant Mason walk onto the bridge.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: We've tracked the Tholians to the red giant system ahead. There's a lot of activity near the primary.
CAPT. MARTIN: Can we get closer?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Not without them spotting us.
CAPT. MARTIN: Long range sensors then full magnification.
Transparent viewer enlarges the object as Tholian ships are coming and going from the strange object.
LT. MASON: What in the name of God!?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Same as the prototype only millions of times bigger and more powerful. The Tholian device is consuming that entire star as an energy source. I estimate that it has the power to shift this entire sector of space into another universe.
CAPT. MARTIN: That what the Tressaurian meant...by "stealing space!" Tholians think of us as a nuisance always trespassing in their territory. 
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: So they'll shift their territory right into another universe.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Logically that other dimension did seem just like the kind of place to suit them.
CAPT. MARTIN: But we've seen what it does, we have to destroy it before it can be used. 
LT. KAYE: How they'll blow us out of the sky if they see us.
LT. MASON: And even if our weapons were to have an effect on the device the prototype will interfere with our sensors when were within millions of kilometers of it.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: The effect will be multiplied thousands of times.
CAPT. MARTIN: T'Shara keep probing with long range sensors. Learn everything you can find me a way, Commander.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA [nods]: Aye, sir.
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise is far from the Tholian sensor readings.
CAPT. MARTIN [voice over]: Captain's Log Stardate 5782.1, The Enterprise has remained outside the scanners of the Tholians, as we're taking scans of whatever they're working on
INT-USS ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
Captain Martin is reviewing the Captain's Log from the Kongo.
CAPT. MARTIN [voice over, continuing]: According to T'Shara's scans of what she was able to take, I don't know what is going on here I have read the records of Lieutenant he and Kosnett served together I know he served with Kosnett
The doors chimed.
CAPT. MARTIN: Come.
Doors opened and Ensign Richards enters.
ENS. RICHARDS: Your coffee sir.
She puts the tray on his desk and pours the coffee.
CAPT. MARTIN: Thanks Ensign.
Captain Martin drinks the coffee.
CAPT. MARTIN: Have a seat Ensign you graduated from the Academy?
Ensign Richards sits down.
ENS. RICHARDS: Yes, sir class of 54 same as you.
CAPT. MARTIN: Your parents are in the service?
ENS. RICHARDS: My father is my mother is on the Federation Council.
Captain Martin leans back in the chair.
CAPT. MARTIN: What was your favorite class at the Academy?
ENS. RICHARDS: Diplomacy 101 with Professor Nelson.
CAPT. MARTIN: I took his class and passed it with a B I am more of a soldier then a diplomat.
Then Captain Martin then recalls something he heard in Captain Kosnett's log entry, and he reviews the sensors logs.
CAPT. MARTIN: That could be the key the device [to com] All hands battle stations this is not drill I repeat this is not a drill.
[KLAXONS BLARE] Both Martin and Richards leaves the ready room.
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise is outside the Tholian sensor range.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
Captain Martin looks at T'Shara.
CAPT. MARTIN: You said the Tholian machine and the prototype both work by amplifying and distorting local gravitational fields.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: An oversimplification, sir, but essentially correct.
CAPT. MARTIN: What would happen if we activated the prototype and beamed it directly into the heart of that thing out there?
Commander T'Shara thinks then reports.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Interesting. The harmonic interference would probably create a gravitational vortex. It certainly would destroy both devices. 
LT. MASON: Certainly destroy...sounds promising. 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: There are two problems. First the proximity of the red giant. All the mass out there potentially could be sucked into the vortex creating a black hold singularity. 
CAPT. MARTIN: A calculated risk. Second problem?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA [raises an eyebrow]: Getting within transporter range. Our navigational sensors will be useless within millions of kilometers of the device. 
LT. KAYE: We don't need sensors all I need is a directional point and take it from there.
CAPT. MARTIN: Stations everyone.
The crew assumes their posts.
CAPT. MARTIN: There's dozens of Tholian vessels swarming around that thing out there. We have to distract them.
John thinks.
CAPT. MARTIN: I have an idea.
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise is getting into position.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE (RED ALERT)
[BOATSWAIN WHISTLE]
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Go ahead.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [com voice]: Shuttle craft Archimedes is rigged and ready

LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Shuttle launch sequence complete.
CAPT. MARTIN: Alright. Let's start our run before they figure it out.
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise speeds towards the disturbance.
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE (RED ALERT)
Transparent viewer shows it.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Captain! Contact with Tholian gravity wave in 4, 3, 2, 1!
CAPT. MARTIN (to com): All hands brace.
The crew braces themselves.
