[EPISODE NOTES: OPENING CREDITS FALL OVER OPENING SCENES]
Captain Branson gets up from the floor as smoke is everywhere from overloaded relays and conduits.
CAPT. BRANSON: Report!?
Lieutenant Mason gets up and helps over people up and goes to the tactical console and examines the read out and reports.
LT. MASON: It was a thermo-kinetic explosion on the outer hull, starboard nacelle housing we're venting drive plasma.
LT. MITCHELL: Sealing it now Captain.
[T'Lar discovers Julia is unconscious.]
LTCMDR. T'LAR [to com]: Sickbay medical emergency main bridge.
DR. CARLSON [com voice]: Acknowledged
CAPT. BRANSON: Was anyone in the nacelle housing?
LT. MASON: I can't tell sir not yet.
CAPT. BRANSON: Find out what happened.
LT. MASON: Aye, sir.
Captain Branson goes over to T'Lar who is monitoring an injured Julia.
CAPT. BRANSON [frustrated]: JACK!
LT. MASON: I'd give you an answer if I could, sir. The sensor logs aren't showing anything. All systems were functioning normally. 
Captain Branson turns to see Commander Clarkson walk onto the bridge with dirt and grim on his face and uniform.
CAPT. BRANSON: How bad is it down there?
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: We've got plasma fires, an overload in the EPS grid but whatever caused that explosion, I have no clue . Weapons fire? An asteroid? 
CAPT. BRANSON: Sensors aren't showing much any wounded?
LT. MASON: Figures are coming in now sir. Seventeen so far, including Julia. No fatalities. 
John turns to see the medical team taking Julia to sickbay.
CAPT. BRANSON: Any sign of the freighter.
LT. MITCHELL: Yes, sir but she's deep in whatever struck our nacelle.
CAPT. BRANSON: T'Lar I want a complete scan of the damage we sustained to the nacelle housing and also dive into the sensor scans of NX-01 Enterprise 2152 Unroth incident.
LTCMDR. T'LAR: Aye, sir.
LT. CARLSON What about the Tarwara?
Captain Branson looks at the viewer showing the freighter.
CAPT. BRANSON: We can't save them if we get taken out by whatever crippled our starboard nacelle.
EXT-FEDERATION/KLINGON NEUTRAL ZONE BORDER, SECTOR 232
Enterprise is at station keeping as its Starboard nacelle is scorched.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM [RED ALERT]
[Wall monitor shows the records of the NX-01 Enterprise under Captain Jonathan Archer in 2152 during the Unroth Incident, as the camera pans back showing the senior staff.]
LTCMDR. T'LAR: I have been looking over the records and they to came into contact with a gravitic mine, of Romulan design and they were able to get out of it but not before suffering damage to their port forward quarter.
CAPT. BRANSON: But we're far from that sector and Romulan Space so where did these mines come from?
LTCMDR. T'LAR: The debris we were able to bring aboard and analysis suggests that it is Klingon in origin.
CMDR. IVANOVA: So these are Klingon in design then?
LTCMDR. T'LAR: It would appear so Commander.
Captain Branson thinks.
CAPT. BRANSON: So, how do we get to the Tarawa?
LT. CARLSON: We'd have to use thrusters only to maneuver through the field.
CAPT. BRANSON: How long?
LT. CARLSON: An hour maybe two?
LT. MASON: I also recommend we shut down weapons and divert them to the deflectors just in case.
CAPT. BRANSON: Steven what about wounded.
DR. CARLSON: It went from seventeen to twenty crewmen most with broken bones and burns.
LT. MITCHELL: And Julia?
DR. CARLSON [sighs]: She suffered a rather severe concussion.
CAPT. BRANSON: That's not good but we'll worry about that later let's get that crew dismissed.
They leave the briefing room.
