FADE IN

Excalibur is trying to fight back but is outnumbered, when the Calisto fires her phasers at the bird of prey and the D-7 Battle cruiser hitting the dorsal shields of the D-7 Cruiser.

CAPT. TAYLOR: Excalibur we're here to help.

Ship jolts as sparks erupts from the ceiling.

Ship jolts again.

CAPT. TAYLOR: I hope the away team is alright.

CAPT. RAMIREZ: FALL BACK!

Both landing parties fall back as the Klingon soldiers chase them.

LT. MASON: Wish we had a shuttle!

They're still retreating.

Taylor gets up from her chair.

CAPT. TAYLOR: Target their port engine and fire!

EXT-SPACE

Calisto powers up her phaser strip on the port side and an energy beam lances out and strikes the cruiser on the port engine and it explodes as plasma vents from it as the Calisto flies over it.

EXT-SPACE

Calisto comes about and speeds to the help the Excalibur who is still exchanging fire with the bird of prey, as the shields flicker around the Excalibur when four quantum torpedoes nail several direct hits on the bird of prey and punches through the shields and causes damage to the bird of prey as explosions rip through the port wing and port side of the impulse engines as Calisto hammers it some more with her phasers.

INT-CALISTO MAIN BRIDGE (RED ALERT)

LTJG. SITO: Direct hit they've lost weapons and shields.

Taylor leans back in her seat.

CAPT. TAYLOR (Smiles): Nice shot.

LTJG. SITO: Thanks Captain I have been trained by Lieutenant Commander Worf.

Taylor nods.

CAPT. TAYLOR: Kara take us back to the planet we've got an away team to save.

ENS. CARLSON: Aye, Captain.

Ensign Carlson inputs commands into the helm station.
