An establishing shot of Watchtower-class Starbase Outpost 9 as its flanked by two Nebula-class destroyers as cargo and transport vessels move to and from the Starbase.
DR. A CLARKSON'S [voice over]: Doctor Anna Clarkson's personal log Stardate 53465.1, For the past two days me and my husband has been restoring the colonies throughout the Federation-Romulan border after the Earth-Romulan War between the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire, I am looking forward to seeing both my kids who are both in Starfleet
EXT-DRAKEN IV SURFACE, MAIN COLONY, DAY
A woman uses a bike pump to get well water...a man works the soil in his fields, wipes his brow, waving to Doctors Anna Clarkson and Robert Clarkson who are there supervising the area, as we see Anna Clarkson dictating a letter to her daughter Anne Clarkson at Starfleet Headquarters.
DR. A CLARKSON [re: PADD]: We should be done in about two days Anne and we'll be able to see both you and Kyle in a few days. 
Her husband walks over to her. 
DR. CLARKSON: Anna you worry too much. 
She turns to him. 
DR. CLARKSON: Rob I'm just worried we're on the edge of Klingon Space and we only have two Federation vessels defending us, when we could of had a heavy cruiser or a dreadnought. 
DR. CLARKSON: Who knows what Starfleet does these days I just wish both Anne and Kyle didn't join it.
Anna shakes her head.
ROBERT: What? I am serious.
CUT TO:
EXT-FEDERATION/ROMULAN NEUTRAL ZONE BORDER, DRAKEN SYSTEM, DRAKEN ORBIT'
The Nebula-Class destroyers USS Elezbar and USS McKinley are in orbit of the planet.
INT-USS MCKINLEY MAIN BRIDGE
The bridge of the USS McKinley is like the bridge of the USS Shenzhou in the early 23rd century, as Captain Karl Stanley is sitting in the command chair when the chief operations officer reports.
CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER: Captain sensors are detecting something at the edge of our sensors.
Captain Stanley gets up from the Captain's chair.
CAPT. STANLEY: What is it?
CHIEF OPS OFFICER: Unknown at the moment.
Captain Stanley turns to the helm officer.
CAPT. STANLEY: Come to course 213 mark 10.
HELM OFFICER: Aye, sir.
The young helm officer inputs commands.
EXT-SPACE
The McKinley turns to port to head to the unknown disturbance.
INT-U.S.S. MCKINLEY MAIN BRIDGE [YELLOW ALERT]
Captain Stanley is standing behind the helm and ops stations.
CHIEF OPS OFFICER: INCOMING CONTACT ITS ORIONS!
CAPT. STANLEY: RED ALERT!!!
Lights dimmed but it was too late.
CUT TO:
EXT-FEDERATION/ROMULAN NEUTRAL ZONE BORDER, DRAKEN SYSTEM, DRAKEN ORBIT'
A green beam pulsed forward and struck the McKinley right behind the bridge, bypassing the shields. A rumbling pulsated throughout the ship, and a sicken roar engulfed the bridge. Outside the McKinley began to explode all over. Flames and oxygen disappeared into the vacuum of space. The McKinley tumbled out of control and drifted. With a silent boom the dish broke in half and the core explored evaporating the ship and sending debris scattering outward.
The attacking vessels head towards the unsuspecting planet.

INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS, MAIN AREA
John leaned back in his chair, adjusting his weight slightly, his eyes never leaving the PADD. It was getting good. He never thought this would happen to him, but it had. After sixteen years of searching, he had finally found it: A good book that he could not put down. The clock read two hundred and thirteen, and yet he found himself wide awake, riveted to this fictional story that was written nearly four hundred years ago. Granted, much of the colloquialism of the 21st century seemed odd and a bit confusing, but still... the story was compelling and it made for a good read. The door bell chimed.
JOHN [groans]: Come.
With a hiss the doors opened and Commander Ro walked in. She paused, mid-step halfway through the door.
RO: You're up late?
John puts the PADD down.
JOHN [smiles]: Yeah, I couldn't put the PADD down to get some sleep Jessica suggested that I read it, so what's up?
She hands him the PADD.
RO: Our latest sensor sweep of the Shackleton Expanse.
John takes the PADD.
JOHN [re: PADD]: Wow this is impressive.
Then the intercom chirped.
LTCMDR. T'MIR [com voice]: Bridge to Branson you've got an incoming hail from Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway, shall I patch it to your quarters?
Both John and Ro look at each other wondering why Janeway is contacting them as John and Ro face the wall mounted screen on the wall.
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Yes, T'Mir patch it to my quarters.
Within moments John was looking into the tired eyes of Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway former CO of the U.S.S. Voyager.
CAPT. MARTIN: Admiral Janeway what can I do for you?
Janeway acknowledged the two and glared across the screen at Martin. Ro cleared her throat.
CMDR. RO: I'll head back to the bridge then.
VICE ADM. JANEWAY [monitor]: No, you need to hear this as well Commander
CMDR. RO [confused]: Ma'am?
CAPT. MARTIN [confused]: Admiral?
VICE ADM. JANEWAY [monitor]: We have reporting coming in that the planet of Draken IV has been destroyed
They're both shocked at that.
VICE ADM. JANEWAY [monitor]: A horrendous lost of life
Janeway's voice begins to choke up.
VICE ADM. JANEWAY [monitor]: We estimate casualties close to a billion human and Romulan lives. Draken IV was one of our most populous planets
CAPT. MARTIN: What happened?
VICE ADM. JANEWAY [monitor]: We're not entirely sure what happened we received a partial distress call from the colony but not much to go on
CAPT. MARTIN: What's the plan Admiral?
VICE ADM. JANEWAY [monitor]: Fleet Captain Picard is ordering all available Federation vessels to meet up with his flagship in system
CAPT. MARTIN: What if we run into any Romulan vessels?
Admiral Janeway leans forward.
VICE ADM. JANEWAY [monitor]: Your orders are to defend yourself but if you come across a superior battlegroup do not engage them
CAPT. MARTIN: We're on our way ma'am.
VICE ADM. JANEWAY [monitor]: Keep me posted Janeway out
Transmission ends as Ro turns to John.
CMDR. RO: John, doesn't Commander Clarkson's parents live on Draken IV?
John tenses up.
