EXT-KLINGON SPACE
An unknown vessel is at impulse speed.
INT-UNKNOWN VESSEL MAIN BRIDGE
Several Klingon warriors are gathered to hear the words of the Klingon standing in the middle of the room.
T'KUVMA: They are coming. Atom by atom they will coil around us and take all that we are. There is only one way to confront this threat. By reuniting the twenty four warring houses of our empire. We have forgotten the unforgettable, the last to unify our tribes, Kahless. Together under one creed, remain Klingon. That is why we light our beacon this day. To assemble our people. To lock arms against those fatal greeting is...(in English) We come in peace.
EXT-UNKNOWN PLANET SURFACE-DAY
[Captain Martin and Commander Chin-Riley walk across a sea of sand.]
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: We come in peace. That's why we're here. Isn't that the whole idea of Starfleet? 
CAPT. MARTIN: Chris taught me that when I was his xo aboard the Yorktown.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: You don't trust me, Captain? 
CAPT. MARTIN [half-laugh]: I trust you with my life Una, but it doesn't change the fact that you're lost. Very lost.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: We're not lost.
They walk on.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: This drought's going to last 89 years. The Crepusculans are facing extinction as a species. See those egg sacs? Those are their offspring.
CAPT. MARTIN: These are incredible, and they've survived here for over a thousand years, Una.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Right, and if we don't do something now, they won't live another thousand hours. The ambient radiation from a nearby drilling accident dried out their water table. If we can get in and out without making contact, we can steer clear of General Order One. And there is the well. 
They walk over to the well.
CAPT. MARTIN: I stand corrected.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Ye of little faith John.
CAPT. MARTIN: Don't tell Chris he'd never let me live it down.
They stop at the well.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [re: tricorder]: The bedrock has blocked the water.
John reveals a phaser rifle and powers it up.
CAPT. MARTIN: Tell me what I need to break through this bedrock.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [re: tricorder]: Point 7 second field burst at level setting 13.5. 
John sets the phaser rifle power setting to 13.5 and aims down the well and fires three bursts down the shaft. Rumble, then water erupts out as John gets out his communicator.
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Martin to Enterprise two to transport.
They are beamed aboard.

FADE IN
EXT-FEDERATION SPACE, BINARY SYSTEM
Enterprise faces the damaged com relay as a worker bee is investigating it as debris floats around it.
CAPT. MARTIN [voice over]: Captain's Log Stardate 1207.3, On Earth it's May 11th, 2256. A Sunday. The crew of the USS Enterprise has been ordered to the edge of Federation Space, to investigate damage done to one of our interstellar relays. Blast burns around the hole are inconclusive. Were they caused by an asteroid, or was it deliberately destroyed to limit Starfleet communications? And if so, by whom? Despite the risks of our mission, I remain optimistic. It's hard not to be in the face of such beauty. In this case, a binary star system. Around these two suns, ice, dust and gasses collide to form the planets future generations will call home. A humbling reminder that all life is born from chaos and destruction
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
The crew are at their stations as Commander T'Shara reports.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Based on initial readings, I would say the relay doesn't appear to have been damaged naturally. 
LT. MITCHELL: I don't like the look of that.
Captain Martin looks over at her.
CAPT. MARTIN: Keep scanning T'Shara something had to of damaged it and I agree with you Ty this doesn't look good at all but whoever attacked this com relay wanted to get our attention.
LT. SMITH: Whoever did really disrupted communications here.
Then Commander T'Shara reports.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Captain, there is something else out there.
Captain Martin walks over to the science station.
CAPT. MARTIN: What is it T'Shara?
Commander T'Shara works at her console.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Active scans are being deflected. I am having trouble locating the source.
Captain Martin walks to the Captain's chair.
CAPT. MARTIN: So something's out there, but no one can tell me where or what it is. 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: I have it.
Transparent viewer shows the object's location.
CAPT. MARTIN: Magnify.
Transparent viewer enhances the image but it's static.
CAPT. MARTIN: Is that what damaged our relay? What am I looking at?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Object of unknown origin.
CAPT. MARTIN: T'Shara, let's get a bit more specific.
Commander T'Shara works at her console.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: I am unable to bring it into focus but I have a location range is 2,000 kilometers. Bearing 358 mark 269. Roughly 150 meters long, tucked into that accretion disk almost directly below us. 
Captain Martin approaches the viewer as she continues her report.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Its in a sensor dead zone. Some kind of scattering field is confounding the ship's ability to translate the image. 
CAPT. MARTIN: Can we move the ship closer?
LT. CARLSON: Negative those rocks are unpredictable we'd take a severe beating even with the deflectors at full power.
Commander Chin-Riley chimes in.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: What about a shuttle?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: It should be logical for a shuttle to get a detailed scan of the object.
CAPT. MARTIN: Get started.
Captain Martin sits in the Captain's chair.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN SHUTTLE BAY
The shuttle bay doors opened as the force field is engaged as a Class-C shuttle is ready for launch.
INT-GARDNER CANOPY
Commander Chin-Riley, Lieutenant Mason, and Lieutenant Commander T'Shara are wearing tactical vests.
LT. CARLSON [com voice]: Commander Chin-Riley, this is Lieutenant Kara Carlson
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
LT. CARLSON [to com]: On behalf of Captain Martin and the entire crew of the USS Enterprise, we'd like to welcome you to flight 819 with non-stop service to the object of unknown origin.
INT-GARDNER CANOPY
Commander Chin-Riley, Lieutenant Mason, and Lieutenant Commander T'Shara are wearing tactical vests.
LT. CARLSON [com voice]: The temperature outside is a brisk minus 260 degrees Celsius, and we are forecasting some mild debris, but anticipate a smooth ride
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [to com]: This is shuttle craft Gardner. Commencing reconnaissance mission to field void and unknown object. Data collection is on and nominal. All lights are green. 
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
ENS. SHERIDAN: Establishing interlink frequency with Away team shuttle. Channel clear and ready to transmit.
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Shuttle craft Gardner you are clear for launch good luck.
INT-GARDNER CANOPY
Commander Chin-Riley, Lieutenant Mason, and Lieutenant Commander T'Shara are wearing tactical vests.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [to com]: Acknowledged bridge see you soon.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN SHUTTLE BAY
The shuttle lifts off and clears the force field.
EXT-FEDERATION-KLINGON BORDER, BINARY STAR SYSTEM
The Gardner flies over the Enterprise and proceeds to the object.
INT-GARDNER CANOPY
Commander Chin-Riley works the controls of the helm station as the shuttle is being buffered about by the gravity shears.
LT. MASON: Deflectors are holding Commander.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Good let's hope they hold while we're scanning the object.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Una, watch your time. 
INT-GARDNER CANOPY
CAPT. MARTIN [com voice]: 19 minutes, not a nanosecond longer
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [to com]: Acknowledged Enterprise.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [com voice]: I'm fully aware
[Static starts to fill the speakers.]
CAPT. MARTIN: Julia, boost the signal gain.
Lieutenant Smith works at the console.
LT. SMITH: Unable to comply. Scattering field. It must be interfering with coms.
LT. MITCHELL: Mission clock at 17 minutes, 30 seconds.
CAPT. MARTIN: Use whatever power we got to boost our com signal.
LT. SMITH: Aye, sir.
EXT-SPACE
The shuttle approaches the strange looking object.
INT-GARDNER CANOPY
Window shows the strange looking object.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [to com]: Gardner to Enterprise you read?
[Static over com]
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
Transparent viewer shows static
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Enterprise to Gardner, Commander Chin-Riley do you read?
Lieutenant Smith turns to report.
LT. SMITH: There's just too much interference.
INT-GARDNER CANOPY
Window shows the strange looking object.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [to com]: Gardner to Enterprise you read?
[Static over com]
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: We must be in the scattering field but our sensors appear to be unaffected by the field.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Well we've come here to scan why don't we get started.
She inputs commands into the helm.
EXT-SPACE
The shuttle turns its beacon lights on and starts moving around the object.
INT-GARDNER CANOPY
Window shows the strange looking object as Lieutenant Commander T'Shara is at the wall monitor running her scans.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: The object appears to be old centuries old from these scans.
LT. MASON: Who built it?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Unknown.
Then sensors beep rapidly.
LT. MASON: I've got a contact bearing 2-3-4 mark 12 Commander its Klingon.
Commander Chin-Riley is shocked by that.
EXT-SPACE
A Klingon attack vessel attacks the shuttle as the deflectors flicker.
INT-GARDNER CANOPY [RED ALERT]
[KLAXON BLARE]
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [to com]: I'm Commander Una Chin-Riley of the United Federation of Planets.
WHUMPH!
LT. MASON: Port deflectors are down to 80% Commander trying to re-route power to secondary emitters!
WHUMPH!
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: I'm taking us out of the field maybe the Enterprise can see us.
Commander Chin-Riley works at the console 
LT. MASON: COMMANDER!
Commander Chin-Riley sees this but its too late.
EXT-SPACE
The shuttle collides with the attack vessel causing it to spin out of control and collide with one of the asteroids.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
Captain Martin stands facing the viewer.
LT. CARLSON: Still no sign of Commander Chin-Riley and the away team. Mission clock runs out in 15 seconds.
Then Ensign Sheridan reports.
ENS. SHERIDAN: Wait, I am detecting the shuttle it appears to be damaged.
CAPT. MARTIN: Can we get a tractor beam lock?
ENS. SHERIDAN: Can't get a lock. We're running manual calculations.
LT. MITCHELL: The Away Team will soon exhibit symptoms of acute radiation syndrome.
CAPT. MARTIN: Hang on team.
EXT-SPACE
The shuttle drifts with scorch marks along the hull.
LT. SMITH [com voice]: Away team, Enterprise, please respond. Commander Chin-Riley? Commander, please respond. Enterprise to Commander Chin-Riley. Commander, do you read? Please respond
[END OF ACT ONE, FADE OUT]
===Ac 2===
FADE IN
INT-UNKNOWN VESSEL MAIN CHAMBER
(A figure in an elaborate sarcophagus, wrapped apart from his head.) 
T'KUVMA: Witness our brother, our Torchbearer, killed by the Federation interlopers on our sacred beacon. I see you, as you see the end. Our Torchbearer honors us. First to die in our crusade for self-preservation. 
(The sarcophagus closes, floats up and out into space to join many others as the assembly roars.) 
T'KUVMA: Our ancestors, welcome our fallen brother Rejac, to their Black Fleet. They fight with us as we fight against our enemy. Remain Klingon. 
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise faces the asteroid field.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE SICKBAY
Commander Chin-Riley sits up quickly as Nurse Chapel walks over to her.
NURSE CHAPEL: Easy there Commander.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY [groans]: What happened?
Doctor Carlson walks over to her.
DR. CARLSON: We transported you and the others back aboard three hours ago.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: How are they?
NURSE CHAPEL: You all were lucky that the deflectors protected you from the radiation.
Commander Chin-Riley gets off the bio-bed and heads for the bridge.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
The turbo-lift doors opened and Commander Chin-Riley walks onto the bridge.
CAPT. MARTIN: How are you feeling?
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Good, but we've got a problem.
CAPT. MARTIN: Klingons Jack told me about your encounter.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: We've got to go to red alert.
CAPT. MARTIN: Red Alert, deflectors up!
Lieutenant Mason takes the ship to red alert as klaxons blare.
CAPT. MARTIN: Tell me what happened?
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: We were just scanning the object then a Klingon attack craft came out of nowhere no warp signature detected.
Captain Martin thinks.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jack, lock weapons onto the object but hold fire.
LT. MASON: Aye, sir.
Lieutenant Mason locks weapons onto the object.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Something is scanning us. They've detected our weapons signature.
Transparent viewer shows a spaceship uncloaks.
LT. MITCHELL: Impossible.
CAPT. MARTIN: Mister Mason, disengage weapon targeting. Julia contact Starfleet Command. Send an encoded message. Tell them we have engaged the Klingons. 
LT. SMITH: Aye, Captain.
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise faces the vessel.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
Transparent viewer shows the vessel.
LT. SMITH: Unidentified Klingon vessel, this is the Federation Starship Enterprise. Please respond. Is there any chance they can't hear us?
LT. MITCHELL: You're transmitting on every subspace channel there is. Your orders, Commander? 
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Keep sending the hail they've got to hear us.
LT. SMITH: Aye, Commander.
Commander Chin-Riley turns to Commander T'Shara.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: T'Shara what can you tell us about the craft?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Their hull is covered in hollow, ornamental, metallic pods, thousands of them, tightly interlocked, forming a kind of armor.
LT. MASON: Not the most efficient defense. 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: I suspect its purpose is more symbolic than practical. They contain Klingon biological material in various states of decay. Remote dating is wildly divergent. Some bones date back thousands of years, others only hours old.
Commander Chin-Riley walks to the doors.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM [RED ALERT]
Reporting to a holographic Admiral.
CAPT. MARTIN: The Klingon flagship has a stealth mode. It's some kind of cloaking screen, unlike anything we've ever seen, Admiral. There may be more vessels out there than we know. We've reached out with every form of friendship greeting Starfleet has. They're blocking our hails. 
ADM. ANDERSON [hologram]: It feels like a setup. Maybe our relay got too close for Klingon comfort, and they destroyed it to lure us out here
Commander Chin-Riley enters.
CAPT. MARTIN: You remember my First Officer, Commander Chin-Riley.
ADM. ANDERSON [holographic]: Next time, you might try not disturbing the property of a warrior race we've hardly spoken to for a hundred years. Our only choice now is to navigate this situation with as much finesse as possible
CAPT. MARTIN: Admiral, these are Klingons after what happened at Archanis I think we should...
ADM. ANDERSON [holographic]: The Federation and the Klingon Empire have always been on the cold side of war. We've had only fleeting run-ins with them for a century, and now you presume to know their motivation because it is in their nature? The Europa and all fleet vessels within range will be at your coordinates in two hours. Hold your position. Do nothing. Absent provocation, understood?
CAPT. MARTIN [sighs]: Yes, sir.
COMPUTER VOICE; Signal terminated
Captain Martin crosses his arms.
CAPT. MARTIN [sighs]: That went well what's the mood outside?
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: So far everyone is doing their job but their nervous they've not seen the Klingons since Lieutenant Darden's death.
CAPT. MARTIN: There is a space station at Eagle Twelve, three light years away. The Andorian colony at Gamma-Hydra is six. Enterprise is their only line of defense if the Klingons attack. 
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: John, you and I both know that the Klingons will attack regardless.
Flash of light outside.
CAPT. MARTIN: What the devil?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA [com voice]: Captain to the bridge
Both Martin and Chin-Riley leaves the ready room.
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
They walk onto the bridge.
CAPT. MARTIN: What's going on?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Massive photonic activity on the Klingon object, Captain. Output is over one billion lumens per square meter.
LT. MITCHELL: Optical sensor overloading!
CAPT. MARTIN: Is it a weapon?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: It seems to be some sort of signal emitter. 
Then a high-pitch sound.
[END OF ACT TWO, FADE OUT]
===Act 3===
FADE IN
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [RED ALERT]
The high-pitch sound still going.
CAPT. MARTIN: Somebody turn it down. 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Aye, sir.
CAPT. MARTIN: All the way down please.
Commander T'Shara works at her console.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Acoustics are muted. That's the ship's superstructure in sympathetic vibration.
LT. SMITH; It's a signal pulse.
CAPT. MARTIN: Is there a message? 
LT. SMITH: This may be the message.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Captain, what if they're calling for the same thing we are? Backup. 
Captain Martin turns to Commander T'Shara.
CAPT. MARTIN: T'Shara, Long-range sensors to the maximum. If more Klingons are on their way, I want as much notice as possible. 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Aye, sir.
CAPT. MARTIN: Ty, I want a check deck by deck.
LT. MITCHELL: Aye, sir.
It goes dark outside.
LT. MITCHELL: Captain! Incoming. Warp signatures detected. 
CAPT. MARTIN: Is it Starfleet?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: No, sir its Klingons.
EXT-SPACE
Several Klingon vessels emerge from warp around the larger Klingon vessel.

LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Tracking. 24, Captain.
CAPT. MARTIN: My god.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: The Klingon High Council consists of 24 houses. That can't be a coincidence. The number of ships. It suggests that someone is attempting to unify the Empire again, against us.
CAPT. MARTIN: The question is who?
Then Commander T'Shara reports.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Captain, sensors are detecting warp cluster its Starfleet.
CUT TO:
EXT-FEDERATION-KLINGON BORDER
Starfleet ships are dropping out of warp to face them.

Captain Martin stands up from the Captain's chair.
CAPT. MARTIN: Lieutenant Smith open a channel.
LT. SMITH: Channel opened.
CAPT. MARTIN: Unidentified Klingon vessel, this is Captain John Martin of the Federation Starship USS Enterprise.
CUT TO:
INT-UNKNOWN KLINGON MAIN BRIDGE
CAPT. MARTIN [hologram]: We are on the outermost borders of Federation space, but make no mistake, you and your artifact are in our territory. We regret the situation has resulted in the death of your warriors. We offer you two choices. Leave immediately or open a dialogue with us. Hopefully, it is the latter, so that we can reengage with the Klingon Empire and prove to you that now, as always
T'KUVMA: Here it comes. Their lie.
CAPT. MARTIN [hologram]: We come in peace
Transmission ends.
T'KUVMA: No! They do not! The come to destroy our individuality. Shall we rise up together and give them the fight they deserve? 
KLINGONS: Remain Klingon!
