Coolant spews and sparks rain down as fires puff out and console screens are burnt out and some crewmen are dead as the ship jolts to port and starboard.
LT. MASON: DEFLECTORS ARE BUCKLING!
CAPT. BRANSON: Re-route power to compensate!
Then Commander T'Shara reports.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Incoming dark matter chunk.
CAPT. BRANSON: Full power to deflectors!
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Not enough power to give sir!

Lieutenant Carlson works at her console.
CUT TO:
EXT-FEDERATION SPACE
The Enterprise emerges from warp and a Asteroid is heading towards the sun.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
Transparent viewer shows the asteroid.
LT. MASON: A Sun Driver.
LT. CARLSON: A what?
LT. SMITH: A Sun diver is a asteroid that got caught in the gravitational pull of a star. It basically makes a kamikaze dive until it is vaporized by the heat. 
Captain Branson turns to T'Shara.
CAPT. BRANSON: Have you located the vessel?
Commander T'Shara works at her console and reports.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Its embedded in the rock.
CAPT. BRANSON: On screen.
Transparent viewer shows the mining vessel.
CAPT. BRANSON: Are you still detecting the bio-sign?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Yes, sir.
CAPT. BRANSON: Can we beam her out?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Negative, there is too much interference from the star's gravitational effect.
Then Lieutenant Smith turns to Captain Branson.
LT. SMITH: Captain, we're being hailed.
CAPT. BRANSON: On screen.
Transparent viewer a beautiful woman appears.
CAPT. BRANSON: Mining ship this John Branson Captain of the Federation Starship U.S.S. Enterprise we're responding to your distress call.

Captain Branson looks at Commander Ivanova then back to the viewer.
CAPT. BRANSON: Captain Lavesque standby we're getting you out of there.
She nods and channel closes.
CAPT. BRANSON: I need a plan and I don't care how far outside the box it is.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Could we use a shuttle?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Negative, you're gonna need a really good pilot to pull it off the gravity well is too strong it would overwhelm the shuttle's engines.
Lieutenant Carlson turns.
LT. CARLSON: I can do it.
CAPT. BRANSON: Then you're with me I'm expecting you to pulls us out at a moment notice Z.

DR. CARLSON: What the hell were you doing trying to land on a comet? 
Pria snickers.
CAPT. LAVESQUE: Oh, I was returning from a mining expedition in the Matar system, and I encountered a Romulan battle cruiser. 
Branson and Ivanova looks at each other.
CAPT. BRANSON: Well we're near the Neutral zone and they like taking over sectors that are near their space and field of vision.
CAPT. LAVESQUE: After I lost the cruiser I needed to stop somewhere to make repairs so an asteroid was the best solution.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Well luckily we were in the sector.
CAPT. LAVESQUE [nods]: Thank you Captain.
CAPT. BRANSON: Don't mention it.

Captain Branson is sitting in the Captain's chair thinking.
CMDR. IVANOVA: You alright John?
He turns to her.
CAPT. BRANSON: Just thinking about our guest how could she not know that the rock was heading for the sun to get baked like a baked potato, even after fleeing from a Romulan battle cruiser.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Maybe she didn't know that it was heading towards the star.
CAPT. BRANSON [sighs]: True but isn't Lieutenant Mitchell suppose to be on duty right now at Navigation?
They see Ensign Sentlle at Navigation.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Oh he's giving Pria a tour of the ship.
CAPT. BRANSON: A tour how nice.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN ENGINEERING
Both Lieutenant Mitchell and Pria enters main engineering.
LT. MITCHELL: And this is main engineering where all the ship's main propulsion systems are worked on and monitored by an engineering team.
Commander Williams sees this and walks over to them.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Lieutenant?
LT. MITCHELL: Excuse me for a moment.
They walk over to where they're not in ear shot of Pria.
STEPHANIE: What the hell are you doing Ty?
He has his arms folded.
TYSON: My job what does it look like I am doing?
STEPHANIE: You just met this girl and already you're getting her a tour of the ship, this is part of our key systems what if she's a Klingon spy?
Tyson rolls his eyes.
TYSON: If she was a Klingon spy we'd be dead by now.
Pria gets a device out and puts the device into one of the circut boards and closes the panel and walks over to see them still chatting.
STEPHANIE: Just be careful something isn't right.
They walk back to where Pria was standing.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Like what you see?
CAPT. LAVESQUE [nods]: Yeah its a big engine.
They shook hands and they leave main engineering as Commander Williams folds her arms.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE LIEUTENANT MASON'S OFFICE
Lieutenant Mason is working on a report when the doors chimed.
LT. MASON: Come.
Doors opened as Stephanie enters.
STEPHANIE: Hey.
Jack looks at his wife.
JACK: Hey, I'll be at our quarters soon and we'll have dinner.
STEPHANIE: That's not why I'm here Jack I need your help I need you to search Captain Lavesque's quarters.
JACK: Ok that's a bit sketchy Steph may I ask why?
STEPHANIE: I don't think she is who she says she is.
JACK: What are you talking about?
Stephanie hands Jack a PADD.
STEPHANIE: Here, look at this. It's the personnel manifest for the Vega Consortium. There's no Pria Lavesque.
JACK [re: PADD]: Well, mining consortiums do keep crappy records.
Stephanie paces about.
STEPHANIE: It's just that I am worried about Tyson this woman has him wrapped around her finger.
Jack thinks.
JACK [sighs]: I might be able to report of a rad leak its a bit dodgy if anyone is looking.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE PRIA'S QUARTERS
The doors opened and both Commander Williams and Lieutenant Mason enter.

Lieutenant Mason starts scanning the room, and then goes into the bed room area and lifts the bed mattress up.
LT. MASON: Hello?
He picks up the device and looks at it.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: What is it?
Lieutenant Mason scans it.
LT. MASON: Not sure the tricorder can't scan it.
He puts it down and then the bed back and Pria shows up.
CAPT. LAVESQUE: Hello is something wrong?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: No not really we were just checking the room to make sure that you don't have a coolant leak we lost a man to something like that when we were traversing an ion storm.
CAPT. LAVESQUE: Well better safe then sorry I like that.

INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
Both Commander Williams and Lieutenant Mason are at attention as Captain Branson walks around them.
CAPT. BRANSON: I can't believe it you two did an unauthorized search of Captain Lavesque's quarters?
LT. MASON: Yes, sir.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: That's how it seems sir.
CAPT. BRANSON: You two are senior officers onboard the Flagship of the Federation fleet, and you're making a bad example for this crew and for this ship and if I hear anything like this again you will no longer be chief of security onboard this vessel and I'm putting a formal reprimand in your record Mister Mason.
LT. MASON: Aye, sir.
CAPT. BRANSON: Dismissed.
Lieutenant Mason leaves.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Permission to speak freely sir?
CAPT. BRANSON: Granted.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Captain Lieutenant Mitchell isn't thinking straight he's smitten with our guest.
CAPT. BRANSON: Ok but that shouldn't give you the right to do that Stephanie.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Captain we found something under her bed its a rectangular shape.
CAPT. BRANSON: Oh my god you found a rectangular shape let's go to red alert and alert Starfleet Command then.
Then the ship is forced out of warp as klaxon blares as both Captain Branson and Commander Williams leaves.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
Captain Branson and Commander Williams walk onto the bridge.
CAPT. BRANSON: Report?
LT. MITCHELL: We don't know where the impacts are coming from. There's nothing out there.
WHUMPH!
CAPT. BRANSON: Really we're getting pounded by something?
WHUMPH! Then T'Shara figures it out.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Captain, I believe we may have encountered a concentrated dark matter storm. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: Is that a thing?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: They are extremely rare. 
Another loud bang, then Pria walks onto the bridge.
PRIA: Captain I can help. 
Branson turns to her. 
CAPT. BRANSON: How? 
She explains. 
PRIA: We encountered a dark matter storm on a mining expedition to Pollux 5. Adjust your weapons array to flood the area with neutralized axion particles. 
T'Shara chimes in. 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: I never heard of something like that before. 
A loud bang is heard as sparks erupt from the ceiling. 
PRIA: Do it trust me. 
Branson thinks. 
CAPT. BRANSON [To T'Shara]: Do it T'Shara. 
T'Shara inputs commands into her console. 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Engaging axion particles now. 
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise floods the area with axion particles and massive bubbles surround the Constitution-Class vessel. 
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
Viewer shows the dark matter as Captain Branson gets up from the Captain's Chair in shock and awe. 
CAPT. BRANSON: My god, Kara get us out of here impulse speed. 
Lieutenant Carlson inputs commands into the helm to get the ship out of the area. 
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise tries to move but it rams a dark matter bubble. 
INT-USS ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
Ship jolts hard under the hit. 
LT. CARLSON: I can't find away out of here it's like a traffic jam. 
Ivanova turns to Branson. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: We're trapped! 
EXT-SPACE
The camera pans back as the Enterprise is trapped in the storm.

EXT-DARK MATTER STORM
A piece of dark matter strikes the port side of the Enterprise making its port deflectors flicker.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
Sparks erupt from the ceiling.
LT. MASON: Sir! The impacts have severely weakened our deflectors, (beat) Structural damage is imminent.
WHUMPH!
CAPT. BRANSON: Carlson what are our options? 
She raises her hands. 
LT. CARLSON: Captain, I've never even seen a dark matter storm, (beat) let alone flown through one. 
Pria chimes in. 
PRIA: I can do it. 
Captain Branson gets up from the Captain's chair and looks at her.
CAPT. BRANSON: Really? 
She nods. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Kara?
ENS. CARLSON: Might as well, Captain. This is above my pay grade.
Another huge jolt rocks the ship harder as a huge shower of sparks erupt from the MSD and coolant vents from it, Mason looks at his console. 
LT. MASON [Worried, off his console]: Shields have failed one more hit will finish us. 
Branson nods and Pria goes to the helm station as Carlson vacates the station for her she sits in the chair and she inputs commands into the console. 
EXT-DARK MATTER STORM
The Enterprise flies through the dark matter storm dodging several dark matter bubbles that almost hits the ship to take it out. 
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
Pria is working on the helm station then Commander T'Shara reports.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Captain we're coming towards a huge bubble of dark matter, (beat) if we don't take evasive action we'll be destroyed. 
Pria inputs commands into the helm. 
EXT-SPACE 
The Enterprise goes between them and then exits the storm. 
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
Lights brighten up as the crew breathes a sigh of relief.
CAPT. BRANSON: Nice work.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Damage report?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Communications arrays have been destroyed, but, otherwise, we are intact. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: No com chatter?
Lieutenant Smith turns to her.
LT. SMITH: Total coms black out Commander.
CAPT. BRANSON: We'll have to stop at Starbase Six for repairs.
CMDR. IVANOVA: That's three days off course.
PRIA: Well you know, there's a Consortium base only a day away from here. I have some friends there, (beat) and I'm sure they'll be happy to refit your communications array. Plus, you can drop me off, I'll be out of your hair. It's the least I can do after everything you've done for me. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Well thanks put into the helm and we'll set a course you saved us a three day course correction.
Pria inputs commands into the helm station.
LT. MITCHELL: Hey Pria I was hoping that I could swing by your quarters and help you fix anything that was knocked off your table when we were in that storm. 
She smiles. 
PRIA: Sure. 
She left the bridge as Mitchell sits at his console.
CUT TO:
INT-USS ENTERPRISE GUEST QUARTERS
PRIA [smirks, to com]: Device works ready to bring ship to you now. 
EXT-SPACE

INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MESS HALL
The crew are having their meals after long shifts and that emergency with the dark matter storm, as Captain Martin sits with Commander Ivanova.
JOHN: And two cups of ale shaken not stirred.
ZHASA (smiles): Thanks.
They drink their ales.
ZHASA: Nice I was wondering why you chose me as your Xo over a bunch of other candidates?
JOHN: Well we worked together on Io Station so when I heard that you were the first officer and how Jim enjoyed your input into matters that weighed on him I knew I wanted you to remain.
Then the com activates.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [com voice]: Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova report to engineering
They leave the mess hall.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN ENGINEERING
The pair both enter and walk over to where Commander Williams is at.
CAPT. BRANSON: Steph report?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: You're going to want to see this I was doing a routine check on the port power relays when I found this. 
She pulls out the hatch that holds the duantroic systems and a rectangle shape object is between the circuits. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Is that what you told me that you found in Pria's quarters?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [nods]: Yeah.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Whatever it is it's hacked our firewalls, and learning about the ship.
CAPT. BRANSON: Can you remove it?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: No we've tried its too wedged in there, we'd have to blow it out but we'd risk damaging the navigational array.
Captain Branson walks over to the com panel.
CAPT. BRANSON [to com]: Branson to Mason meet us in Pria's quarters with a security team.
LT. MASON [com voice]: Aye, sir
Both Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova head to meet the security team.

Lieutenant Mitchell is helping Pria with cleaning up her quarters after the Dark Matter Storm, when the doors opened and Captain Branson, Commander Ivanova, Lieutenant Mason, and a pair of Security Officers walk into her quarters wearing tactical vests and armed with type-2 phasers.
LT. MITCHELL: What's going on?
CAPT. BRANSON: Tyson step away from Pria, she's been messing with our power systems. 
Tyson walks back as he's surprised. 
TYSON: Pria? 
PRIA [Smirks]: I guess the cat's out of the bag. 
CAPT. BRANSON [to Pria]: What the hell is going on, we found something in one of our isolinear control hatches. 
PRIA [Smiles]: That's an interesting piece of technology that I brought with me with a few commands it can pilot a ship, that's how I was able to fly your ship through that dark matter storm. 
She inputs commands into a device on her forearm.

Enterprise heads to its new destination.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE PRIA'S QUARTERS
Captain Branson, Commander Ivanova, Lieutenant Mitchell, Lieutenant Mason are still in shock and awe at what Pria said.
PRIA: What you people can't believe it? 
CMDR. IVANOVA: You're telling us you came back in time to save our lives, why? 
She rolls her eyes. 
PRIA: I'm afraid it wasn't your lives I wanted to save, it was your ship. 
They're surprised by what she said. 
CAPT. BRANSON (Sighs): Wait, if you really are from the future, what possible use could the Enterprise be to you? 
She sips her drink. 
PRIA (Smirks): I'm a dealer in artifacts mint condition, mostly I sell to private collectors I and others who do what I do. Travel back to a specific time and place in which, say, a ship like yours was destroyed I prevent the destruction, then I take the ship into the future and I sell it to the highest bidder. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: What about the crews of those ships what happen to them?
She looks at them.
PRIA: Well, they're free to live out their lives as they see fit in the 29th century. 
Branson chimes in. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Wait, we rescued you all of us were in danger. What about the comet? 
Pria leans back on the bulkhead of her quarters. 
PRIA: A set up to get you to trust me we were never in any real danger, we can do things in my time that well, you're gonna find out for yourself. 
They leave the quarters. 
CUT TO:

They exit the quarters.
CAPT. BRANSON: Jack post two of your men here at all times she's not to leave that room got it.
LT. MASON [nods]: Yes, sir.
They leave as Lieutenant Mason gives orders to his men.
LT. MITCHELL: Captain I must ask for your forgiveness I was the one that gave Pria a tour of main engineering, and that gave her a chance to install that block into our power systems.
CAPT. BRANSON: You're right it is your fault Lieutenant and you will be dealt with once this crisis is over.
Lieutenant Mitchell stops walking fearing that his career in Starfleet is over.
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise continues on its course.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
Chief Williams disconnects some audio systems in the computer. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: That's it. I've disconnected the visual and audio pickups. We can talk without being monitored by the computer.
CAPT. BRANSON: Alright we've got an hour before we get to where we're going and we become trapped in the 29th century, so I want options to how to disable the object without damaging our navigational array.
Commander Williams chimes in.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: I could hit it with an electro magnetic pulse on a low setting, (beat) give me a few minutes to work it out and I'll get back to you.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: The frequencies of the burst and the device will need to be focused on it or it will destroy us.
CAPT. BRANSON: How long will it take to set up?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Give me a few minutes to set it up.
CAPT. BRANSON: Get started.
Commander Williams leaves the briefing room.

INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
The bridge crew are hanging on for dear life to the rails and their consoles, as the ship is jolting port to starboard and then stops.
CAPT. BRANSON: Report? Do we have control?
Both Mitchell and Carlson check their stations.
LT. CARLSON: We had control for about a second but then lost it.
Commander T'Shara turns from her station and reports.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Captain sensors are detecting some sort of spatial rift directly ahead.
CAPT. BRANSON: On screen.
Transparent viewer shows the quantum wormhole, as Pria beams onto the bridge as everyone is shocked.
Two security guards come onto the bridge and aim their compression phaser rifles at Pria but she uses the device to have their weapons beamed away. 
PRIA: Sorry to barge in like this, it's just we're approaching the rendezvous point. 
Lieutenant Mitchell walks over to Pria.
LT. MITCHELL: Pria give the Captain back control of the Enterprise please we have over 430 people who has lives in this timeline.
Pria turns to him.
PRIA: You don't get it you all died. If I let you go I'd be the one who altered the timeline.

Pria looks at the crew. 
PRIA: Couple of scratches. Nothing that would affect the value in any significant way. Regardless, I'll be happy to negotiate the price.
Surreptitiously, Branson signals Ivanova with a look. Ivanova nods, almost imperceptibly and inputs commands into her XO consoles. She nods at T'Shara who inputs commands into her console. 
BUYER (viewer): Shtak fehvor zemik, dosh mook fillory vem
Pria folds her arms. 
PRIA: Of course the ship has Photon Torpedoes as well as phaser banks, and nobody's trying to stiff you here. 
While Pria's attention is focused on the viewer discussing the price with the buyer, Ivanova catches Mason's eye. Mason nods, works on his console. 
BUYER [on viewer]: Pohzhy revost deck ferenos. Ofor feclis eez meseem
PRIA [smiles]: Always, Always like to keep the customer happy. 
Branson gives the signal. 
CAPT. BRANSON: NOW! 
Smith inputs commands into her console and closes the channel much to Pria's shock. 
PRIA: NO! 
Lieutenant Mason takes out his type-2 phaser and shot Pria with it and she falls to the floor, as he goes to his console and modulate the deflectors to repel the tractor beam.

INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
Lieutenant Mitchell is at attention.
CAPT. BRANSON: I don't know what to say to you Tyson, you are a senior officer aboard the flagship of the Federation and yet you allowed a pretty face to override your judgement?
LT. MITCHELL: Captain, I apologize for my actions she asked to see main engineering, and I had no idea that she would use the device to tap into our helm control.
CAPT. BRANSON: You should of known Ty this crew would of been forced to live out the rest of their lives in the 29th century.
LT. MITCHELL: I'm sorry sir.
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm entering a formal reprimand into your record.
Lieutenant Mitchell leaves as Pria and Lieutenant Mason enters.
CAPT. BRANSON: Thank you Jack.
Lieutenant Mason leaves as John looks at her.
CAPT. BRANSON: Commander T'Shara tells me this is what you used to teleport.
Pria paces about.
PRIA: Congratulations, you have technology from the future. I suppose you're gonna crack it open and study it.
CAPT. BRANSON: No, because unlike you we don't mess with the timeline.
PRIA: Well, what happens now?
CAPT. BRANSON: You know what the most depressing part about this is?
PRIA: What?
CAPT. BRANSON: You allowed a member of my crew to care about you and you used him you used his feelings for him to hack into our helm control systems and attempt to steal the Enterprise.
PRIA: If the Enterprise continues to exist, who knows how it will affect the timeline? The Enterprise was supposed to be destroyed in that dark matter storm.
CAPT. BRANSON: Those events were changed by you not us. And as far as how that affects your future time, I don't give a damn. 
John leans back in his chair behind his desk.
CAPT. BRANSON [sighs]: According to Commander T'Shara, as long as the wormhole exists, the quantum potentiality is open. Many sets of future events are possible. But, if we destroy it, we choose a path. There's no chance of us returning to your future, and the Enterprise goes on to live its life. Which means that Pria Lavesque will have no reason to come back into our past. And you and Lieutenant Mitchell will never meet.
Pria walks over his desk and leans on it.
PRIA: Tyson will always be alone John.
Captain Branson activates the com.
CAPT. BRANSON [to com]: Branson to bridge, fire.
