The year is 2381, with the Dominion War being over for at least eight years now, and the Federation enjoys peace within its borders once more. But the question is how long will this peace last?
The Ajaxs is drifting as debris floats around it.
INT-U.S.S. AJAX'S MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
Klaxons are blaring as sparks rain down and coolant vents as wires hanging down and support beams are on the floor or hanging down, as a Lieutenant Commander emerges from the debris on the floor with wounds.
LTCMDR. MARTIN [coughs]: Damage report?
No answer as fires plump and smoke fills the bridge and dead bodies of the crew are slumped over their stations or the railing, as the transparent viewer shows the Cardassian cruiser as Commander Martin goes to the Captain's chair.
LTCMDR. MARTIN [to com]: First Officer's Log Stardate 5894.1, We encountered a Cardassian squadron attempting to attack a Federation mining colony. Captain Jones and a strike team beams over to the lead vessel to attempt to stop them from attacking the colony, I ordered the crew to abandon ship and the Cardassians destroyed the escape pods only Captain Jones and me are alive.
He tapped his combadge.
LTCMDR. MARTIN [to com]: Ajax's to Jones, Captain respond please.
CAPT. JONES [com voice]: Yeah I'm here John what's your status?
LTCMDR. MARTIN [to com]: All hands lost except us Ron the crew, the Klingons killed them all 437 of them.
A few minutes of silence then Captain Jones speaks.
CAPT. JONES [com voice]: Yeah I saw what happened John and I'm sorry for what you had to do but you were thinking of their safety
John hangs his head then he checks the console.
LTCMDR. MARTIN [to com]: Captain the Cardassian cruiser is powering up it's forward weapons array! Captain! 
A bright flash.
