LTCMDR. T'SHARA [Raises an Eyebrow]: Lieutenant its illogical for the sight of dead bodies to give you the creeps.
Lieutenant Mason turns to her.
LT. MASON: You've not seen bodies of fallen comrades then Commander, I have way to many times, I'll check the weapons systems.
As T'Shara is downloading the logs Lieutenant Mason checks the weapons systems to see if they've been fired.

CAPT. BRANSON [to com]: By pirates?
INT-U.S.S. PETERSON SICKBAY [RED ALERT, BATTLE DAMAGED]

CAPT. BRANSON: Very good T'Shara Jack what about the weapons?
LT. MASON: Phaser banks have been completely drained and the torpedo launchers have been emptied, it looks like whoever they were fighting they didn't go down without a fight.
Then Commander Williams and her team shows up.
CAPT. BRANSON: Please tell me you have good news Commander?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [sighs]: I wish I did Captain but its not this ship's engines are shredded they'll need to be repaired at a nearby Starbase.
CAPT. BRANSON: Alright then what about their hull can it handle being towed?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS (nods): Yes it can be.

CAPT. BRANSON: Show it.
Wall monitor shows the bridge of the Peterson and Captain Alexander Johnson the commanding officer of the vessel.
CAPT. JOHNSON [monitor]: Captain's log stardate 6089.1, After departing Starfleet medical outpost 4 we're proceeding to Cold Station 12, hopefully without any incidents
Screen fizzes out and resumes and this time klaxons can be heard in the background.
CAPT. JOHNSON [monitor]: The Klingons have attacked us taken out our warp drive with one shot destroyed half of the saucer section, I've ordered the crew to abandon ship but it seems that the Klingons 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 Starbase Six to warn Starfleet of a new Klingon threat
TACTICAL OFFICER [O.S]: INCOMING!!!!
Screen fizzes out.
CAPT. BRANSON: Captain Alexander Johnson good officer, good man bit of a windbag and a bit cocky still don't know why they gave him command of a science vessel, nor why the Klingons attacked a lightly armed Starfleet Science vessel.
CMDR. IVANOVA: So are we gonna let Starfleet know sir?
CAPT. BRANSON [nods]: Oh yeah we will as soon as we tow the Peterson to Starbase Six.
Then John starts feeling strange.
LT. CARLSON: Are you alright sir?
CAPT. BRANSON: Y-Yeah I think so.
He gets up but then falls to the floor and screams holding his arm as the others go to their fallen commanding officer, as Doctor Carlson gets a med kit and gets a medical tricorder and starts scanning him.
CMDR. IVANOVA: What's wrong with him?
DR. CARLSON [confused]: I-I'm not sure Commander his vital signs are off the charts.
Doctor Carlson goes to the com panel.
DR. CARLSON [to com]: Carlson to transporter room lock onto both me and Captain Branson and beam us directly to sickbay.
Both Captain Branson and Doctor Carlson beam out of the briefing room heading to sickbay.

Commander Ivanova enters as she walks over to the bio-bed.
DR. CARLSON: How's Ensign Jaffah?
CMDR. IVANOVA: Nurse Chapel with him right now. Morphine pretty much knocked him out, like you said.
DR. CARLSON: Good, That's the only thing we've got that can manage pain like this.
CMDR. IVANOVA [confused]: He said it was like sticking his hand into boiling oil.
Doctor Carlson turns Captain Branson's arm and they see what looks like a burnt mark.
DR. CARLSON [confused]: Commander, I've never seen anything like this, but it's-it's gotta be some sort of contact reaction.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Could it of come from somewhere aboard the Peterson?
DR. CARLSON: It's possible but not sure.
CMDR. IVANOVA: I'll have T'Shara and Chapel beam over to the Peterson.

LT. MITCHELL: What happened to them?
CMDR. IVANOVA: They went extinct in 2065 but their venom was kept in cold storage at Cold Station 12.
LT. MASON: The Peterson was carrying 2 liters of the venom to Cold Station 12 when it was attacked by the Klingons.
DR. CARLSON [com voice]: But why?
