The crew are at their stations.
CAPT. SMITH: Lieutenant maintain one third impulse speed.
LT. ERICKSON: Aye, Captain.
Captain Smith leans back and turns to T'Var.
CAPT. SMITH: This should be an uneventful mission wouldn't you say T'Var.
CMDR. T'VAR: Yes Captain it will be a welcome change.
Then Lieutenant Jones reports.
LT. JONES: Captain sensors are detecting something bearing 2-3-2 mark 2-2-1.
Captain Smith turns to her.
CAPT. SMITH: Can you ID her?
Lieutenant Jones looks at the tactical console and reports.
LT. JONES: Its a Romulan warbird!
Captain Smith gets up from the Captain's chair walking towards the ops and helm stations as the transparent viewer shows the a Romulan warbird decloaks in front of them.

The lift doors opened and Captain Martin exits the lift and walks over to the center chair. 
CAPT. MARTIN: Report?
CMDR. RO: Saris II medical relief is going well sir. 
Commander Ro vacates the command chair and goes to the XO Chair. 
CAPT. MARTIN: That's good let's hope we help these people.
CMDR. RO: Agreed.
Then Lieutenant Mason reports.
LT. MASON: Sir we're receiving a hail from Starfleet Command its Admiral Rand. 
Captain Martin leans back and then gets up from the Captain's chair. 
CAPT. MARTIN: On screen. 
Lieutenant Mason inputs commands into the tactical console and the office of Admiral Rand at Starbase 621 appears. 
CAPT. MARTIN [smiles]: Admiral Rand. 
ADM. RAND [viewer]: Captain Branson
CAPT. MARTIN: The medical relief is processing well we should have the colonist cured within the hour. 
ADM. RAND [viewer]: That's good I've got some bad news we lost contact with the USS Yorktown she was patrolling the Romulan Neutral Zone when we got a grabbled transmission from them, but we've been unable to raise them ever since we need the best ship and crew on the job and that's the Enterprise we're giving you all we have on the Yorktown's mission but its not much
Captain Martin looks at Sito who turns and nods that she got the package. 
CAPT. MARTIN: We got it ma'am.
ADM. RAND [Viewer]: Good luck Captain Starfleet out
Transmission ends and Captain Martin walks back to the center chair.

The ship nears the Devolin system -- a solar system that never coalesced into discrete planetary bodies. It's a swirling disc of rock and other matter.
INT. U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
The crew are at their stations as Lieutenant Sito reports.
LT. SITO: We are approaching the Devolin system, Captain.
CAPT. MARTIN: Any sign of the Romulans or the Yorktown?
LT. SITO [works]: No, sir.
Commander T'Mir turns to chime in.
LTCMDR. T'MIR: Captain, if my people are out here they're doing a very good job of not showing themselves till they feel the time is right.
CAPT. MARTIN: Courtney?
LTCMDR. JAMES: There's an awful lot of ionizing radiation in this system, Captain. That, combined with the sheer amount of rock is going to slow down our search.
CAPT. MARTIN: How slow?
LTCMDR. JAMES: Well, I'd say at least--
LT. MASON [urgent]: Sir. Romulan Warbird decloaking directly ahead.

CMDR. RO: Should we go to red alert? 
Captain Martin thinks. 
CAPT. MARTIN: No not yet we're here on a peaceful mission Ro let's see what they want first Jack hail them.
GENERAL TOMALAK, a Romulan man appears on the Viewscreen. He gives them a warm and friendly smile.
GEN. TOMALAK [viewer]: I am General Tomalak of the Romulan vessel Terix. To whom do I have the honor of speaking?
CAPT. MARTIN: I'm John Martin Captain of the Federation Starship U.S.S. Enterprise.
GEN. TOMALAK [viewer]: Ah, Captain Martin...I've heard so much about you. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. (innocent) I hope our sudden appearance didn't startle you
Martin decides to return his cool and friendly demeanor.
CAPT. MARTIN: Not at all. But your unannounced appearance might have unfortunate consequences. It would be an awful shame if your ship were damaged due to some misunderstanding.
GEN. TOMALAK [viewer]: I am touched by your concern for my ship. But I doubt we were ever
in any danger. (beat) May I ask what you are doing in this system?''
CAPT. MARTIN: I might ask you the same question. 
GEN. TOMALAK [viewer]: We are conducting a survey of gaseous anomalies
CAPT. MARTIN (surprised): How interesting. So are we. Perhaps we could combine our efforts and share our findings. 
GEN. TOMALAK [viewer]: I doubt our objectives are...compatible 
CAPT. MARTIN: Perhaps you're right. 
The two rivals look at each other with polite smiles masking the real tension here. 
GEN. TOMALAK [viewer]: This has been a most pleasant conversation, but we must return to our research
CAPT. MARTIN: Then I won't keep you. 
The transmission ENDS.
LT. MASON: They are moving off... resuming their tachyon scans of the system.
CAPT. MARTIN: Continue to track their movements Lieutenant.
LT. MASON: Aye, sir.
CAPT. MARTIN [to Courtney]: Commander how long will it take to search this system?
LTCMDR. JAMES: At least seven days sir.
LT. MASON: And the Romulans have a two day head start.
CAPT. MARTIN: Then we better get to it Sito?
LT. SITO: Initiating sensor sweep of grid zero one.
As Sito begins to work...

John is sitting at one of the tables near the windows with a drink in front of him as he looks out the window at the asteroids, when the doors to the officer's mess open and Commander Ro approaches him.
CMDR. RO [re: PADD]: The latest report from both Sito and T'Mir.
She hands him the PADD as she sat down.
CAPT. MARTIN [re: PADD]: Still no sign of the Yorktown?
CMDR. RO: We're not sure if we are going to find the vessel in one piece but I'm hoping that we do.
John puts the PADD on the table.
CAPT. MARTIN: Same here.
CMDR. RO: John are you alright? 
JOHN: I'm fine Ro just worried about Jessica and her crew. 
RO: We'll find them John no matter what. 
JOHN (sighs): I know Ro I know. 
He gets up and leaves as Ro is worried about him.

John is drinking a cup of Earl Grey tea while listening to a piano version of "King of The Hill theme song.
JOHN [to himself]: Now I know why this always calmed Gaius down.
Then the com activates.
CMDR. RO [com voice]: Captain Martin report to the bridge
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Computer stop play back.
Music stops and he leaves his quarters.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
Captain Martin steps onto the bridge and walks over to the Engineering console where both Commanders Ro and James are at.
CAPT. MARTIN: Report?
CMDR. RO: Courtney's found something.
He walks over to the screen.
LTCMDR. JAMES [to Martin]: There's a subspace resonance signature coming from that asteroid, sir. It could be the warp core of the Yorktown.
Martin looks over the readings.
CAPT. MARTIN: Its the Yorktown alright I recognize the power various, let's see the asteroid. 
Transparent viewer shows the asteroid. 
LTCMDR. T'MIR: I've confirmed Commander James's scans sir. The resonance signature is originating from somewhere beneath the asteroid's surface. 
CAPT. MARTIN (shocked): What? 
CMDR. RO: From inside the asteroid how?
LT. SITO: This asteroid contains several deep chasms large enough for a starship to enter. It is possible the Yorktown drifted into the asteroid's gravitational field and was pulled down into one of the fissures. 
Captain Martin walks in front of the ops and helm stations looking at the viewer.
CAPT. MARTIN: Try hailing them Jack priority one hail encode it.
Lieutenant Mason works the tactical console and reports.
LT. MASON: No response sir.
Then he checks his console and reports.
LT. MASON: Captain, the Terix has altered course towards our position.
CAPT. MARTIN: How long till they get here?
Lieutenant Mason checks his console read out and reports.
LT. MASON: A few hours.
CAPT. MARTIN: Sito, how long till we've located the Yorktown?
LT. SITO: At least another six hours, sir. 
CMDR. RO: Damn that's too long we may have to destroy the Intrepid. 
LT. MASON: It would take most of our photons to do it. 
John thinks then looks over at Commander T'Mir.
CAPT. MARTIN: T'Mir,would it possible to saturate the asteroid with verteron particles that could mask the resonance signature and prevent the Romulans from detecting it? 
LTCMDR. T'MIR: In order for the deception to succeed, it would have to appear to be a natural phenomenon. Verteron particles are artificial in nature.
LTCMDR. JAMES: Wait a minute. We could blanket the asteroid with high levels of ionizing radiation. There's so much of it in the system already, the Romulans won't know the difference.
CAPT. MARTIN: T'Mir?
LTCMDR. T'MIR: Theoretically, sir, it should work. 
Commander Ro checks her Xo console. 
CMDR. RO: If we do this, we have to do it fast the Romulans will be within sensor range in less than a minute. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Do it Sito. 
LT. SITO [nods]: Aye, sir. Initiating ionization field pulse. 
CAPT. MARTIN: After she's finished, we'll have to move off... make it look like we scanned the asteroid, but didn't find anything. 
CMDR. RO: Jamie lay in a course for the next search grid. Stand by to engage. 
Lieutenant Kaye inputs commands into the helm station. 
LT. KAYE: Aye, Commander standing by with impulse engines. 
CAPT. MARTIN: If this works, the Romulans won't find anything and we can return later. But if it doesn't... 
CMDR. RO: Their dead. 
LT. SITO: Ionization pulse complete. 
CAPT. MARTIN: Engage one-quarter impulse Jamie. 
LT. KAYE: Aye, sir. 
OFF their expressions as they look at the Viewscreen...

The transparent viewer shows the asteroid as the Romulan vessel is in front of it as Martin, Ro, Kaye, Mason, Sito, T'Mir, and James as seen at the end of Act Two. Everyone is watching the main viewer, where the Romulan Warbird can be seen near the Asteroid seen earlier.
LT. SITO [off console]: The Romulans are initiating a tachyon scan of the asteroid...(beat)
They have switched to their lateral sensor array... beginning another scan.
CMDR. RO: They're certainly being thorough.
LT. SITO: The Warbird has completed its sensor sweep.
Captain Martin leans forward. 
CAPT. MARTIN: If they found the Intrepid they'll start sending boarding parties in shuttles. 
Everyone watches the screen for a tense beat...then the Warbird begins to move away from the asteroid.
LT. SITO: They are moving off.
A feeling of relief washes across the Bridge.
CAPT. MARTIN [to Sito]: Sito, we have to convince the Romulans that we're still looking for the Yorktown. I want you to continue scanning this system.
LT. SITO: Aye, sir.
CAPT. MARTIN [to Ro]: I want to be back at this asteroid at zero eight hundred hours
tomorrow. Plot our search pattern accordingly.
CMDR. RO [nods]: Aye, sir.
CAPT. MARTIN [to Ro]: Ro, you've got the bridge. Oh, and will you bring the scan analysis to my quarters when you go off watch?
CMDR. RO: Aye, sir.
Martin EXITS to the Turbo-lift.
CMDR. RO [continuing to Kaye]: Jamie, initiate search of grid one six three.
LT. KAYE: Aye, Commander.
LT. SITO: Beginning sensor sweeps...

Martin is intently studying a PADD on the table. The remains of a Japanese dinner are sitting on the table. The door CHIMES.
CAPT. MARTIN: Come.
Commander Ro ENTERS carrying a PADD.
CMDR. RO [re: PADD]: The scan analysis you asked for.
Martin takes the PADD and sets it down without even looking at it. He's polite.
CAPT. MARTIN: Thank you Ro, Can I interest you in some sashimi?
CMDR. RO: No thank you.
CAPT. MARTIN: Shame it's very good.
CMDR. RO: Is there anything else, sir?
CAPT. MARTIN: No thank you Ro dismiss.

John gets dressed and heads to the bridge.
INT. U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE - CONTINUOUS [OPTICAL]
Captain Martin ENTERS from the turbo-lift.
CAPT. MARTIN: Report?
CMDR. RO: We've arrived at the asteroid.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jack, where are the Romulans?
LT. MASON: They are out of sensor range on the far side of the system.
CAPT. MARTIN [to Lieutenant Kaye]: Bring us to within fifteen kilometers and hold position.
LT. KAYE: Aye, sir.
Lieutenant Kaye works at the helm and reports.
LT. KAYE; We're at 15 kilometers and are holding position.
At her station Commander T'Mir examines one of the screens there is an Okudagram
schematic of the asteroid. Data points to a bright POINT of light which is deep inside the asteroid.
LTCMDR. T'MIR: For the past several hours, I have been scanning the area where we
detected the resonance signature of the Yorktown. From the strength and polarity of the signature, it would appear that most of the warp core is still intact.
John turns to Lieutenant Mason.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jack, have you been able to hail them?
LT. MASON: No response still sir.
CAPT. MARTIN: Send this hail. 
LT. MASON: Aye, sir you're on. 
CAPT. MARTIN: To the crew of the USS Yorktown this is John Martin Captain of the Federation Starship USS Enterprise we're about fifteen kilometers from the asteroid that we're attempting to make contact with you. 
CAPT. SMITH [com voice]:....Enterprise...attempting...contact....please respond...
CAPT. MARTIN: Jess if you can hear me we're making attempts to rescue you and your ship. 
Nothing but static. 
LT. MASON: We lost contact with them.
John's worried then Ro came up with an idea.
CMDR. RO: Sounds like the best solution is to take the Enterprise in.
John turns to her.
CAPT. MARTIN: What are you getting at Ro?
CMDR. RO [points to graphic, then to T'Mir]: T'Mir, Put this fissure on the main viewer.
INCLUDE VIEWSCREEN (OPTICAL)
The viewer now shows a LARGE CHASM on the surface of the asteroid as Ro continues explaining the idea.
CMDR. RO: This chasm is large enough for us to maneuver in. Besides, if there's any hope of rescuing the Yorktown, we'll need a starship to do it.
CAPT. MARTIN: Sito is that possible? 
LT. SITO: In 2370 the USS Enterprise-D under the command of Captain Picard did this same thing when they were searching for the USS Pegasus, if we divert power to the shields and dampeners it should be possible. 
Captain Martin and Commander Ro walks to their command chairs.
CAPT. MARTIN: Yellow alert.
CMDR. RO: Deflectors up, inertial dampers to maximum.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jamie, plot a course into the chasm... maneuvering thrusters only.
LT. KAYE [works]: Course plotted sir.
Beat.
CAPT. MARTIN: Take us in.
Lieutenant Kaye works. On the Viewscreen, the image of the fissure suddenly starts to loom LARGER and LARGER as they approach it.
EXT. SPACE - ENTERPRISE & ASTEROID [OPTICAL]
The Enterprise moves down into the huge fissure (which is many times wider than the ship) on the asteroid's surface and the ship disappears from view.

The ship is moving through the tunnel inside the asteroid.
INT. U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE (OPTICAL)
As before. Everyone is watching the main viewer, which shows a dark view of the interior of a vast and deep tunnel of rock which the ship is traveling through. There are small turns and adjustments that the ship keeps making to its course as it moves through the winding, twisting cavern. Martin is on his feet, moving from station to station, keeping a wary eye on what's happening.
LT. SITO: We are now two kilometers beneath the surface. 
Then the ship jolts slightly. 
LT. MASON: Captain, we are encountering shifts in the magnetic field density. 
Then the ship shakes to port again.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jamie, if this passage narrows to less than five hundred meters, abort the mission.
LT. KAYE: Aye, sir.
Sito reports.
LT. SITO: Picking something up directly ahead. 
Transparent viewer shows the USS Yorktown NCC-1717-A drifting. 
CAPT. MARTIN: Life-signs? 
LT. SITO: Still reading them sir. 
CAPT. MARTIN: I'll beam over there.
Commander Ro looks at him.
CMDR. RO: Are you sure that's wise John?
CAPT. MARTIN: If Jess is alive I have to be the one go over there.
Martin EXITS to the Turbo-lift.

(He shoots at Sito and her security detail.)
LT. SITO: We're here to help you. 
CREWMAN: Take cover! We're under attack!
The security officer stuns the spooked officer as they walk over to the stunned officer and tags him with a transporter beacon.
LT. SITO [tapped combadge]: Sito to Enterprise.
NURSE TAKAHASHI [com voice]: Go ahead
LT. SITO [to com]: We found another survivor. His wounds are not serious but he's suffering from psychological distress. 
NURSE TAKAHASHI [com voice]: Acknowledge

Martin and Mason break into the bridge as sparks rain down as console screens flicker and or burnt out, they search around for survivors as they found survivors as John walks to his girlfriend Jessica and scans her then puts his hand on her cheek. She wakes.
CAPT. SMITH: My crew?
CAPT. MARTIN: You took heavy casualties. We're treating the survivors. Why did the Romulans attack you?
CAPT. SMITH: We don't know.
Suddenly, the ship SHAKES. As John and Jack staggered back as Jessica looks around.
CAPT. SMITH [confused]: What was that?
The ship SHAKES again.
CMDR. RO [com voice]: Ro to Martin. Prepare to return to the ship immediately.
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Acknowledged Ro come on Jess.

CAPT. MARTIN: Report?
Commander Ro turns to him.
CMDR. RO: The Romulans fired on the entrance to the chasm with their disruptors... they've sealed us in.
OFF their reactions as they look at the viewer...Everyone is still looking at the sealed rock face on the Viewscreen. Lieutenant Mason reacts to something on his console.
LT. MASON: Sir... there is an incoming message... it is from the Warbird.
They exchange a few surprised looks.
CAPT. MARTIN: On screen.
INCLUDE VIEWSCREEN (OPTICAL)
Tomalak now appears on the screen. He seems very pleased with himself.
GEN. TOMALAK [viewer]: Captain, you seem to be in a very unfortunate circumstance. How can we help?
CAPT. MARTIN: Are you responsible for this?
GEN. TOMALAK [viewer]: I'm not sure. We were conducting some... geological experiments on
the surface of the asteroid. It's possible that we... accidently sealed you in. (beat) If only we had known you were beneath the surface... if you had shared your plans with us, this
might have been avoided''
Captain Martin isn't buying it.
CAPT. MARTIN: What do you want Tomalak?
GEN. TOMALAK [viewer]: I don't want anything, Captain, but I will offer to help you
CAPT. MARTIN: How?
GEN. TOMALAK [viewer]: By transporting your crew aboard my ship. We'll take you back to Romulus where, after a short stay as our guests, you will be returned to the Federation
CAPT. MARTIN: Thank you for your generous offer. I will take it under advisement.
GEN. TOMALAK [viewer]: As you wish. We'll be continuing our... research in this system for
a while longer. I await your decision''
The transmission ENDS. Martin turns to the others as T'Mir chimes in.
LTCMDR. T'MIR: Captain, we can't beam over if we do they'll torture us for information and then execute us.
CAPT. MARTIN: Agreed. Options? 
LT. MASON: Sir I believe we could use the phasers to cut our way out.
Commander T'Mir chimes in.
LTCMDR. T'MIR [off console]: It will be risky the asteroid's internal structure is highly unstable. Any attempt to cut through the rock could cause the entire chasm to collapse. 
CMDR. RO: We don't have a choice its that or we become prisoners on Romulus and I don't plan on having my brains probed. 
CAPT. MARTIN: What about photon torpedoes?
LT. MASON: Should be doable.
Both Captain Martin and Commander Ro go back to their chairs as Ro faces the XO console.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jack, arm photon torpedoes and activate tractor beam to tow the Yorktown.
