CAPT. MARTIN [voice over]: Captain's Log Stardate 5495.1, Our mission to Mudor V has been completed, and since our next assignment will not begin for several days, we are taking a welcome respite from our duties
INT. CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
John sits in the chair wearing regular clothes has his feet propped up reading a book and drinking a cup of Earl Grey Tea. 
STEVEN is talking to STEPHANIE near a large stack of containers. This is a very large cargo bay and there is a door similar to the one in the shuttle bay that opens to space. This door is smaller and it is currently closed. The containers are marked "Hazardous" and Stephanie has been checking over some manifests on a PADD.
STEPHANIE: No.
STEVEN: Come on, Steph.
STEPHANIE: No.
STEVEN: Just try it once. It's not as hard as you think. I'm telling you... you'll be terrific.
Stephanie's still reluctant, but he's wearing her down. She glances quickly around the bay to make sure no one's watching then starts to quickly sing...
STEPHANIE: "... I am the very model of a modern major general, I've information vegetable, animal and mineral... " (quickly embarrassed, to Peter) I can't do this! I can't sing in front of people.
STEVEN: Yes you can! That was terrific! (he takes her arm) Now you were a little off pitch,
but I think we can take care of that...
On Stephanie's "get me out of this" expression...
JUMP CUT TO:
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
Commander Chin-Riley sits in the Captain's chair, Lieutenant Mason is at tactical, Lieutenants Carlson and Mitchell are at both ops and helm stations, Commander T'Shara is at the science station and Lieutenant Smith is working at the communication console.
LT. CARLSON: We're on course for Starbase 22 and we'll arrive in a few hours.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Thank you Kara.
Commander T'Shara is at the science console and turns to report.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Commander, I'm detecting something on the long range scanners.
Commander Chin-Riley turns to her.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: What is it?
But before she could report the ship ROCKS SLIGHTLY.
INT. CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
John's thrown from his chair.
INT. CARGO BAY, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Steven and Stephanie are shaken violently...
JUMP CUT TO:
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
The violent shaking STOPS and the bridge crew tries to sort things out for a moment. Commander Chin-Riley gets up from the Captain's chair.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: What the hell was that?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: As I said Commander sensors are picking up subspace distortions and high-energy particles directly to starboard.
Lieutenant Carlson works the helm station and reports.
LT. CARLSON: Looks like we ran into a quantum filament.
LT. MITCHELL: Is that a thing?
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [to T'Shara]: Damage report?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA [off console]: We've lost primary life-support. Switching to secondary systems. Impulse and warp engines are offline! [urgent]: There's another filament moving toward us, Commander!
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [to com]: All decks brace for---
She is cut off as the ship is VIOLENTLY SHAKEN. This is the worst yet... people are slammed into walls...the conn console EXPLODES in Carlson's face... and the lights go OUT, leaving only the RED ALERT indicators blinking in the darkness.

EXT. SPACE
The Enterprise is drifting.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
The Red Alert lights continue to blink on the darkened bridge. For a moment there is only the sound of crackling circuitry from the exploded conn console...then a few moans as people start to come to. Lieutenant Mason manages to stand and hit a button on one console...
then the bridge is dimly illuminated by emergency lights. He helps Commander Chin-Riley to her feet.
LT. MASON: Commander, are you alright?
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [nods]: Yeah, what happened?
Commander T'Shara gets up and walks over to her station.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: All power is down we're operating on emergency power.
Lieutenant Mitchell groans as he gets up from the floor as he sees Kara wounded he goes to her and checks her pulse.
LT. MITCHELL: She's alive but her wounds need to be treated.
Julia gets the med kit and provides assistance as Commander Chin-Riley toggles the com panel.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [to com]: Medical team to the bridge.
No responses as she toggles the com panel again.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [to com]; Chin-Riley to sickbay. (beat) Chin-Riley to engineering. (beat) Commander Chin-Riley to any crewmember, please acknowledge.
She looks over at Mason, who looks helplessly at several blank screens.
LT. MASON: The computer's down. It looks like we still have impulse power but not much else.
INT. DECK FIVE, CORRIDOR, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE [RED ALERT]
John is walking through the corridor as the red lights are flashing as he's checking on some crewmen, he walks to the Jefferies tube and enters the tube and starts climbing the ladder.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE [RED ALERT, EMERGENCY POWER]
Lieutenant Smith has her ear receiver in her ear.
LT. SMITH [to com]: This is the Federation Starship Enterprise calling any vessel within range. We are in distress and need assistance. Please respond.
She turns to Commander Chin-Riley.
LT. SMITH: I'm still not sure we're even transmitting. I'll set the message on auto repeat and see if we get a response.
Commander Chin-Riley pats her shoulder.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Thanks Julia, let me know if we get a bite.
LT. SMITH: Aye, Commander.
Commander T'Shara turns to Commander Chin-Riley.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Commander, I have partial sensors back online. I'm picking up sporadic life signs throughout the saucer section. There are definitely survivors.
Then Lieutenant Mitchell walks over to them and leans on the rail.
LT. MITCHELL: How can we get to them?
LT. MASON: Commander I recommend we go to emergency procedure alpha two. Bypass computer control and place all systems on manual override.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Do it.
Lieutenant Mason gets to work.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: May I suggest that our next priority be to stabilize life support and try to re-establish inter-ship communications?
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Yes. Smith, I'd like you to assist Commander T'Shara. 
LT. SMITH: Aye, Commander.
Smith and T'Shara go to work.
LT. MITCHELL: What about me Commander?
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Monitor Kara.
LT. MITCHELL [nods]: Aye, Commander.
On Commander Chin-Riley as she thinks about the daunting task before them...
JUMP CUT TO:
INT. CARGO BAY, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Stephanie is working on an open panel and trying to open the door to the cargo bay. Steven is standing nearby, watching her efforts.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Okay. Clear the power shunt.
DR. CARLSON: The shunt is cleared.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Right. And bypass the flow current, and..
She moves a switch and then looks expectantly at the door. Nothing.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [frustrated, to Steven]: The computer still won't release the doors.
DR. CARLSON: Can't we force them open?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Yes, we can try. There's an emergency hand actuator. 
Stephanie goes to a section of wall near the door, kneels down and begins removing a service panel. Steven follows her and stands near the wall to watch. As Stephanie gets the panel off the wall, Steven notices something. He feels the wall with his hand.
DR. CARLSON: Courtney?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [distracted]: Yes?
DR. CARLSON: This wall is hot.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Where?
Her head snaps around at that statement. As she begins to stand up, there is a sudden BRIGHT FLASH in the wall panel he's just opened. Stephanie jumps back from the panel. Steven rushes to her in concern, but Stephanie waves him off.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: I'm alright, but I think we've got a new problem. One of the energy conduits must've ruptured and ignited the polyduranide inside the bulkhead. That's a plasma fire.
DR. CARLSON [re: medical tricorder]: It's putting out a lot of radiation. We can't stay in here very long.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: We've got a bigger problem than that.(beat) The quaratum in these containers is used in emergency thruster packs. It's normally pretty stable stuff... but when you expose quaratum to radiation it has a way of... exploding.
WIDER SHOT (OPTICAL)
Including the plasma fire, Stephanie and Steven, and the large number of quaratum containers.

The Enterprise is drifting looking lifeless.
INT. JEFFERIES TUBE 12, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
John is crawling through the tube there is a sudden HISSING SOUND in the tube. John
listen for a moment... then turn and look back the way he came.
JOHN: Oh crap!
He starts crawling faster and he gets to the area where he can stand and shuts the hatch behind him, as he sees the ladder and goes up to head to the bridge.
JUMP CUT TO:
INT. CARGO BAY, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Steven is scanning the quaratum containers with a tricorder while Stephanie works the transporter console. The plasma fire is o.c., but the green light can still be seen flickering in the bay. Steven finishes his scan and moves to Stephanie. He runs the tricorder over her.
DR. CARLSON [re: medical tricorder]: We can withstand this level of radiation for another three or four hours without any permanent damage. [closes medical tricorder] We'll need a few days of hyronalin treatments. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: What are the radiation levels in the quaratum? 
DR. CARLSON: They're at eighty three rads and rising at a rate of about four rads per minute. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: That stuff gets unstable at around three hundred and fifty rads. I still haven't been able to get any power to this transporter.
They look at the plasma fire.
Steven looks around for a moment...then he walks over to the far wall and pulls out his tricorder.
DR. CARLSON [re: medical tricorder]: The radiation levels is about twenty percent lower at this end of the bay. Let's move the containers over to here.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [nods]: That should buy us some time. [thinks] We're going to have to do this by hand. With this much radiation flying around in here we can't trust the anti-grav units.
They carefully pick up one of the heavy containers...this isn't going to be easy.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE [RED ALERT, EMERGENCY POWER]
Lieutenant Smith turns to Commander Chin-Riley.
LT. SMITH: Still no response to our distress call Commander.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Keep monitoring.
LT. SMITH: Aye, Commander.
Commander Chin-Riley walks over to the science station where Commander T'Shara is checking the sensor scans. There aren't many screens active, but the one they're watching is showing a complex pattern of shifting sensor readings. T'Shara taps a key and the display freezes.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: There. Just before the second time we were hit. See the subspace distortion?
Commander Chin-Riley peers at the display for a moment.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Yes. How big is a quantum filament?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: It can be hundreds of meters long, but it has almost no mass, which makes it very difficult to detect.
Commander Chin-Riley looks at T'Shara.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: So, it's like a cosmic string?
Commander Chin-Riley is a little defeated, but she looks at the monitor again, determined to understand this. But before she can pursue the matter any further, there are a series of loud BANGS and ELECTRONIC BEEPS from...
THE ENGINEERING STATION
Lieutenant Mitchell is lying on his back, halfway inside the engineering station. Tools and equipment are strewn about next to his legs. Mason moves over and kneels down in concern. He tries to see what he's doing, but he can't. After a beat the engineering screen
flickers ON... fades... then comes on permanently. Mitchell slides out of the console and gets to his feet.
LT. MASON [re: display]: How did you do that? 
LT. MITCHELL: I diverted power from the phaser array and I dumped it into the engineering control system.
Mason reacts sharply.
LT. MASON: You did what!?
LT. MITCHELL [ignoring Mason]: Engineering station's online, Commander.
LT. MASON [angry, to Mitchell]: But that's a completely improper procedure. You can't just dump that much raw energy into a bridge terminal without blowing...
He looks at Jack.
LT. MITCHELL [annoyed]: We're not going to get out of this by playing it safe!
Commander Chin-Riley turns to Lieutenant Mason.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: He's right but you're also right as well Jack but let's focus on getting ourselves up and running again what's our engine status Lieutenant?
Lieutenant Mitchell works the console.
LT. MITCHELL: We've got half impulse power available, but I'm getting some odd readings from the warp drive.
Lieutenant Mason walks over to the console and they worked together.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: What is it?
LT. MITCHELL: I'm reading a spike in the warp field array. It looks like a containment deviation.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Switch to primary bypass.
Lieutenant Mitchell works.
LT. MITCHELL: Nothing. Field strength's at forty percent and falling. We've got a problem. The quantum resonance of the filament caused a polarity shift in the antimatter containment field. 
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: How long do we have?
LT. MITCHELL: 20 minutes!
On Chin-Riley's reaction...

===Act 3===
FADE IN
INT. CARGO BAY, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Steven and Stephanie have moved all the containers against the far wall of the bay.
Steven and Stephanie are scanning the containers with their tricorders.
DR. CARLSON [re: medical tricorder]: The levels are still rising. 
He snaps the tricorder shut.
INCLUDING PLASMA FIRE (OPTICAL)
They watch the fire for a beat.
DR. CARLSON: There must be some way to put that fire out. 
LTCMDR WILLIAMS [shakes her head]: The energy's being fed by the ship's internal power grid and we can't even get near that. The only way to stop it would be to eliminate the supply of oxygen. (beat) Wait a minute...
Stephanie thinks for a beat... then looks from the space-door to the fire and back again as she gets an idea. She turns to Peter with a "you won't believe this" look on her face.
LTCMDR. WILLIIAMS: Doctor, I've got an idea. It's kind or wild, but we just might be able to kill two birds with one stone. 
DR. CARLSON: Let's hear it.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Okay. We open the external door. That would depressurize the cargo bay and suck all of those containers out into space. At the same time, the lack of oxygen should put out the plasma fire. 
DR. CARLSON: What about us?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: We just need to find something in here to hold onto while the air is evacuating. Then, we close the door, re-pressurize the bay.
They both look around for a moment. The ladder leading to the catwalk is the only solid object in sight.
DR. CARLSON: What about this? 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Yeah, that ought to do it. 
And on their looks...
EXT. FEDERATION SPACE
The Enterprise is drifting looking lifeless.
INT. CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Chin-Riley, Mason, T'Shara, and Mitchell at the table. Una is listening quietly, absorbing the argument as the other two battle it out.
LT. MASON [to Mitchell]: If the containment field strength continues to drop at its present rate, we still have at least two hours before it becomes critical. 
LT. MITCHELL: But you're ignoring the fact that the power coupling is also damaged.
Mitchell turns to Commander Chin-Riley.
LT. MITCHELL: If that coupling overheats, the field strength could drop a lot faster. We could have a containment breach in a matter of minutes. 
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: What do you suggest?
LT. MITCHELL: We should separate the saucer now, and put as much distance as possible between us and the drive section.
Lieutenant Mason looks over at him.
LT. MASON: Excuse me, sir, but that's damn cold blooded. What about the people down there? 
LT. MITCHELL: There's no evidence that anyone is still alive in the drive section.
LT. MASON: No evidence they're dead, either. If you were trapped down there, would you like us to just cut you loose and leave? 
LT. MITCHELL: No, of course not. But I also wouldn't expect the bridge crew to risk the safety of the ship and 430 lives in a futile effort to rescue me.
Commander Chin-Riley stands and moves to the window. She looks out at the stars for a long moment.
CMDR. RO [without turning around]: You said there's no way to stabilize the containment field
from the bridge. Could it be done from engineering?
LT. MASON: Yes, but my readings indicate there's no power down there. They don't even have monitors to tell them there's a problem. 
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Could we divert energy from the bridge... to those monitors?
LT. MASON: Yes, ma'am.
LT. MITCHELL [scoffs]: I'll say it again. There is no reason to believe that anyone is alive in Engineering. We're wasting time even talking about this. We have to separate the ship now. 
Commander Chin-Riley thinks for another moment...finally makes a very difficult decision. She turns back to face them.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: I believe there are people still alive down there...and I'm going to give them every chance.
She moves towards them.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Assuming they are alive, they'll be hoping there's someone up here to help them. So we'll help them. [to Mason] Divert the necessary power to engineering.
LT. MASON [stands, nods]: Aye, Commander.
Lieutenant Mitchell stands too, but he hasn't acquiesced.
LT. MITCHELL: I remind you, Commander, that power coupling could overheat at any moment. By not abandoning the ship now, you may be responsible for all our deaths. 
Commander Chin-Riley looks him square in the eye.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Thank you, Lieutenant. Proceed.
Lieutenant Mitchell turns and EXITS, leaving Una to wrestle with the consequences of her decision.
INT. JEFFERIEIS TUBE 12, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
John continues to head to the bridge when he sees a screen that flashes red: WARP FIELD CONTAINMENT FAILURE, John then heads back to deck 8 to help the engineering team to shut down the warp reactor.
INT. CARGO BAY, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Stephanie and Steven are dragging the last container into place in front of the space-door. As Peter talks, they set the container down, then move to the ladder and nearby console.
DR. CARLSON: Once the air is vented, the first thing you'll feel is extreme pressure in your lungs. You have to resist the temptation to exhale. Next, our hands and feet will get cold, then numb, and some of the capillaries on exposed sections of the skin may burst.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [dry]: Sounds like fun.
DR. CARLSON: We will have about fifteen seconds of useful consciousness, then about ten seconds of extreme disorientation, then we pass out. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [indicates panel on far wall]: Okay. Once the air is evacuated, one of us is going to need to get to that panel to re-pressurize the bay.
Steven nods, understanding. Stephanie finishes tapping in commands and checks the panel one last time.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: We're ready.
Both Steven and Stephanie take deep breathes as Commander Williams lean over the console and wrap their arms tightly around it. Stephanie presses a control on the console.
ON SPACE DOOR (OPTICAL)
The door OPENS. The blue outline of the pressurization field is visible around the door.
ON STEPHANIE & STEVEN
They continue to hyperventilate... then both take a deep breath and hold it. Stephanie presses one more control and then quickly wraps her arm back around the console.
NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)
The blue outline DISAPPEARS from around the door and the bay DEPRESSURIZES. There is a ROAR OF AIR rushing out the door and the quaratum containers are BLOWN out of the door.
ON STEPHANIE & STEVEN (OPTICAL)
They desperately hang on to the console as the wind rips past them. Suddenly the WIND STOPS as the bay is evacuated. (There should be NO SOUND HEARD from this point until the bay is re-pressurized.)
ON PLASMA FIRE (OPTICAL)
The fire is SNUFFED OUT.
NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)
Stephanie frantically enters commands into the console and the space-door starts to slowly CLOSE.
ON STEPHANIE & STEVEN 
The pressure in their bodies are starting to affect them already. The door finally closes...Stephanie & Steven both move for the atmospheric control panel on the far wall...Stephanie gets about halfway across the bay before becoming disoriented and dizzy... she falls to the floor in confusion.
ON STEVEN
Steven can barely focus his eyes at this point, but he manages to make it to the controls. He slaps the button and there is a LOUD WHOOSH of air as the bay is pressurized once again. Stephanie and Steven gratefully suck in the precious air. They sit on the floor and look at each other for a moment...just grateful to be alive.
[END OF ACT THREE, FADE OUT]

FADE IN
EXT. FEDERATION SPACE
The Enterprise is drifting looking lifeless.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Chin-Riley in command, Mason at tactical, Smith at coms, T'Shara at science, and Mitchell at ops. Una is under tremendous pressure; wrestling with the decision of whether or not to abandon the ship, and holding the balance between Mason and Mitchell.
LT. MITCHELL: The field strength is down to twenty percent. We cannot run the risk of staying here any longer. 
Lieutenant Mason looks up from the tactical console.
LT. MASON: We're in no danger until it drops below fifteen percent. We can afford to wait and see if anyone in Engineering notices those monitors. 
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Have you made preparations to separate the Saucer section?
LT. MITCHELL: Yes, ma'am. We're in stand by mode for docking latches. 
LT. CARLSON [sooths in pain]: We're really going to leave everyone behind?
Mason suddenly sees something on his monitor and reacts in alarm.
LT. MASON: Ty, there's a thermal inversion in the power coupling! 
LT. MITCHELL: Quick... cross-connect it to the transfer coil.
They worked together to stop the overload as Commander Chin-Riley turns to them.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: What happened?
Lieutenant Mitchell turns to her.
LT. MITCHELL: Exactly what I said might happen. The power coupling overheated and the entire containment field almost collapsed. 
There is a beat as Mitchell takes Una's measure, moves a step closer.
LT. MITCHELL [firmly]: Jack's fixed it temporarily, but this could happen again at any moment, and next time we might not be able to stop it. You can't let wishful thinking guide your decision, Commander. It's time to leave. 
Una's voice never rises, but her tone and bearing make it clear who's in charge.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: We will abandon the ship when I decide that it's time, and not before. Is that clear, Lieutenant?
Lieutenant Mitchell has no choice but to accept, but his eyes say he has not backed down.
LT. MITCHELL: Yes. Perfectly.
JUMP CUT TO:
INT. MAIN ENGINEERING, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Captain Martin enters the engine room and sees several blown out panels in engineering and
one or two dead bodies. The emergency isolation door has sealed the room off from the engine core. And Captain Martin goes to the panel and opens it and gets some engineering tools and gets to work on containing the core breach.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Mason and Mitchell are at the monitors; Chin-Riley close by.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Alright. Stand by to abandon...
LT. MASON: Ma'am, the field strength is stabilizing. 
Commander Chin-Riley comes to the monitor.
LT. MASON: Eighteen percent, twenty, twenty five.
LT. MITCHELL: I guess they got our message.
There is palpable relief on the bridge. Tyson looks at Una, holds his eyes for a moment, and then, without any hint of embarrassment...
LT. MITCHELL; I was wrong, Commander. 
Commander Chin-Riley looks at Lieutenant Mitchell
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: You could have just as easily been right.
