Doors opened as Lieutenant Carlson enters as her brother Doctor Carlson turns to see who has walked in.
DR. CARLSON: Kara, this is a surprise what can I do for you?
LT. CARLSON: I've got a bit of a headache and was wondering if you could give me something for it.
Doctor Carlson walks over to his sister and gets a medical tricorder and scans her.
DR. CARLSON [re: medical tricorder]: Hmm, I am detecting a slight elevation of dopamine levels.
LT. CARLSON: What is it?
DR. CARLSON: You're the fourteenth crewmen to come in here complaining of headaches and each case has been an increase of dopamine levels.
LT. CARLSON: What can you do?
He gets a hypo and gives her some meds.
DR. CARLSON: This should help with the headaches.
LT. CARLSON: Thanks Steven.
She leaves sickbay.

The Enterprise is over the large alien vessel.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM (RED ALERT)
Captain Branson is talking with Fleet Admiral Ozawa.
FLT ADM. OZAWA [monitor]: What's your take, Captain?
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm convinced now that the sounds coming from that alien ship are giving the crew headaches. 
FLT ADM. OZAWA [monitor]: And you don't consider that a threat?
CAPT. BRANSON [confused]: What the large ship outside our front door or the migraines?
FLT ADM. OZAWA [monitor]: The migraines
CAPT. BRANSON: Right now Doctor Carlson is helping the crew with their headaches but they look like they're subsiding.
FLT ADM. OZAWA [monitor]: Aren't you being a little pie in the sky, Captain? I mean this noise is coming from an alien ship that you know nothing about
CAPT. BRANSON: Isn't that why we're out here exploring? 
FLT ADM. OZAWA [monitor]: I'm dispatching the U.S.S. Excelsior to your position they'll be delivering scientists
CAPT. BRANSON: Very well we'll be waiting ma'am Enterprise out. 
Transmission ends as Captain Branson is worried.

The U.S.S. Excelsior emerges from warp and parks next to the Enterprise as they're impulse engines can be heard powering down. 
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE TRANSPORTER ROOM [RED ALERT]
Commander Keller beams aboard the Enterprise as Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova are waiting. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Commander Keller welcome aboard the Enterprise I'm John Branson Commanding officer. 
They shake hands. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Captain Branson how'd you keep Rear Admiral Tucker's Alpha Commandos off this mission? 
CAPT. BRANSON: I said a welcome wagon with a gun doesn't make a very good first impression. 
They leave the transporter room. 
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE DECK SIX CORRIDOR [RED ALERT]
They're walking through the corridor. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: I'll have our chief science officer send you the data on what we were able to get from when we first encountered it. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Why is your ship at red alert. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Because we're in front of a hostile vessel that's not answering our hails. 
Commander Keller turns to him. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: I need you to discontinue red alert. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Why? 
LTCMDR. KELLER: We can't risk that this thing could act hostile. 
CAPT. BRANSON: But the ship hasn't answered our hails and our sensors can't penetrate its hull to determine what weapons they're carrying nor how many bio-signs are aboard.
LTCMDR. KELLER: Those are my orders Captain stand down from red alert.
Captain Branson walks over to the wall and presses the com panel.
CAPT. BRANSON [to com]: Branson to Bridge stand down from red alert. 
Lights brighten up. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Thank you. 
He walks away. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: Why is he such a jerk? 
CAPT. BRANSON: I don't know Z but whatever is going on I don't like it. 
He follows him as Ivanova follows. 
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
The senior staff are around the table as the wall monitor shows the alien vessel.
CAPT. BRANSON: Everyone this is Lieutenant Commander Scott Keller from the Starfleet Science Division. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: So what can you tell me about this vessel? 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: So far sensors have not been able to penetrate the outer hull of the alien vessel.
LTCMDR. KELLER: What are their weapons? 
LT. MASON: Unknown tactical sensors can't get a reading. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Well we'll have to send over an away team. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: The transporter sensors can't get a lock so anyone who beams over will be stuck there. 
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm not risking an away team till we fix the transporters. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Then we'll take a shuttle over. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Didn't you hear me I'm not risking a landing party till I know what we're dealing with. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Captain Branson I've read your service record and I'm not playing it safe this is the biggest science discovery of a lifetime, there could be some technology that could help us defend ourselves from a Klingon Invasion in the near future so we're going over there. 
He leaves as Captain Branson folds his arms.

The Enterprise and Excelsior are over the alien vessel.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
Commander Keller is in front of the desk.
LTCMDR. KELLER: What do you mean we're not going over there?
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm not risking my away team till I know for sure that we're not going to get ambushed by anyone aboard that vessel.
Commander Keller paces about.
LTCMDR. KELLER: So, what are we suppose to do in the meantime?
Captain Branson leans back in his chair.
CAPT. BRANSON: Review our scans and figure out how we can get a better understanding.
Keller hits the table.
LTCMDR. KELLER: THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
CAPT. BRANSON: If you were a member of my crew I would have you thrown into the brig for your outburst Commander!
LTCMDR. KELLER: Well I'm not a member of your crew Captain and I will get aboard that vessel one way or another.
He storms out of the ready room.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Charming fellow.
CAPT. BRANSON: Yeah.

Enterprise and Excelsior are over the vessel.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
CAPT. BRANSON: T'Shara anything?
T'Shara turns to report.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Our sensors still cannot penetrate the hull of the vessel.
CMDR. IVANOVA: So still a no go?
CAPT. BRANSON: Yeah still a no go.
Then Lieutenant Smith turns to report.
LT. SMITH: Captain we're being hailed by Starfleet Command its Commodore Austin at Starbase Six.
CAPT. BRANSON: On screen.
Transparent viewer changed to the office of Commodore Joseph Austin on the Federation Sigma-class base Starbase Six.
CAPT. BRANSON: Commodore Austin what can I do for you?
COMM. AUSTIN (viewer): Captain I just got off the com with Commander Keller and he says that you are refusing to send over a boarding party to an alien vessel?
CAPT. BRANSON: Yes, sir I made the choice not to send over a boarding party due to the lack of information on the inside of the vessel, it would be too risky to send over a boarding party without the Intel we need.
COMM. AUSTIN (viewer): Captain you're ordered to follow Commander Keller's orders to the letter but I don't blame you if you are wanting to play it safe, but right now we can't afford to play it safe not after losing 430 men and women aboard the U.S.S. Excalibur during the M5 wargame incident
CAPT. BRANSON: Understood sir.
COMM. AUSTIN (viewer): Keep me informed Austin out
Transmission ends.
CAPT. BRANSON: Z meet the Commander in the shuttle bay you'll be taking a marine dropship take every precaution.
CMDR. IVANOVA (nods): Aye, sir.

INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN SHUTTLE BAY
Doors to the shuttle bay opened as the boarding party enters as Commander Keller looks over at them.
LTCMDR. KELLER [smiles]: Well, I guess that Commodore Austin finally talked some sense into Captain Branson.
CMDR. IVANOVA: That's really low what you did Commander.
LTCMDR. KELLER: I couldn't allow the Captain's arrogates to block me from this interesting discovery.
He walks onto the shuttle as the others board it.

Commander T'Shara turns from the science station.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Scans still cannot penetrate the vessels hull Commander.
CMDR. IVANOVA: So we don't know if we're walking into a hostile environment?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Precisely Commander.
Commander Keller looks at Lieutenant Mason.
LTCMDR. KELLER: Maintain our position Lieutenant do not alter course.
LT. MASON: But sir Commander Ivanova is in command of this boarding party.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Prepare to return to the Enterprise.
Commander Keller looks at her.
LTCMDR. KELLER: You are under orders by Commodore Austin to follow my orders to the letter and I expect you to do just that Commander!
EXT-FEDERATION SPACE
The shuttle lands on top of the dorsal section of the hull.
INT-GARDNER AFT COMPARTMENT
Lieutenant Mason opens the bottom hatch and then gets a breach charge ring and activates it. 
LT. MASON: Fire in the hole. 
He sends it down and it blows up. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: You just ruined a ancient alien vessel Lieutenant. 
LT. MASON: Oops your welcome. 
He gets out a stun grenade and drops it and it goes off. 
LTCMDR. KELLER (Annoyed): Take an atmosphere reading. Heavy silicon compounds, large concentrations of xenon and argon. 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA (re: Tricorder): Traces of carbon, helium; parts per million asbestos. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Not breathable, but it's not gonna corrode our suits either.

INT-ALIEN VESSEL CORRIDOR
LTCMDR. KELLER (to com): This is big, dark, and I'm very happy to be here. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: Well this is what Starfleet is all about Commander. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Commander, somebody has to stay here and attach a permanent hatch here. You and the landing party are carrying guns, I'd prefer if you and them stayed on the dropship. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: What out of the question Commander you're not going alone. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: My mission my rules Commander I'll take Commander T'Shara with me, but she'll have to leave her weapon.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Out of the question Commander we don't know if there's any hostiles aboard.
LTCMDR. KELLER: My mission.
T'Shara removes her weapon from her hostler and hands it to Lieutenant Mason as Commander Ivanova looks at T'Shara.
CMDR. IVANOVA: T'Shara go with him if you encounter any hostiles get back immediately.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Aye, Commander.
Both Commander T'Shara and Commander Keller leave the others behind.
LTCMDR. KELLER: This bulkhead is incredible my scanner cannot get a clear reading on it.

LT. MASON: Ah god my head. 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Your headache is back? 
LT. MASON (nods): Yeah. 
LTCMDR. KELLER: Mine too. 
Commander T'Shara scans the area. 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA [re: tricorder]: This looks like the source of their power. How can their signal still be broadcasting after a million years? 
LTCMDR. KELLER: I don't think a million years means too much to them, Commander. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: At least we know how long they've been in Federation Space.
Commander T'Shara examines the console.
CMDR. IVANOVA: What do you got?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: It appears that the signal is broadcasting on a frequency of 2.5 megahertz, and curious it's on a Vulcan frequency.
LTCMDR. KELLER: Are you sure?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Yes it's on a Vulcan signal it is addressed to Captain Spock.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Keep at it try to disable the signal before our headaches blow our heads off.

CAPT. SMITH [viewer]: We'll maintain our distance till you need us be careful
CAPT. BRANSON [nods]: We will.
Transmission ends as Lieutenant Smith walks over to him holding a PADD.
LT. SMITH [re: PADD]: Captain, I been going over past Enterprise missions and found this.
John looks at the PADD.
CAPT. BRANSON [surprised]: Spock?
LT. SMITH [nods]: Yes, sir apparently these aliens contacted Spock once.
CAPT. BRANSON: Can you send the transmission?
LT. SMITH: It should still be in the database.
She goes to the communications console and quickly works on it, as a Hyperion appears on the bridge as everyone is shocked to see it and has it's weapon pointed at them. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Its ok we're Captain Spock's friends. 
The alien lowers its weapon and vanishes and then lights come back on-line. 
LT. CARLSON: We've got engines back on-line.
LT. MITCHELL: We've got phasers and deflectors back on-line!
