CAPT. TAYLOR'S (Voice Over, continuing): Our eminent guest, Doctor Lenara Khan, will attempt to study the decay of globules of neutronium expelled at relativistic speeds by a massive stellar explosion which will occur here in a matter of hours.

Ensign Carlson works at her console as Commander Branson is sitting in the XO Chair looking at the middle computer.

CAPT. TAYLOR (Voice Over, continuing): ''It is virtually a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as dictated by the forces of nature. But frankly, Doctor Khan seems much calmer about it all than those of us who are simply charged with the responsibility of delivery and observation''.

CAPT. TAYLOR: Jack shields to full.

Lieutenant Mason inputs commands into the tactical console.

LT. MASON: Shield to full.

Doctor Khan chimes in.

DR. KHAN: I'm activating the upgraded sensor array now Commander T'Lar give me a hand with this.

T'Lar nods and they both get to work on the upgraded sensors array, then the sensors let out a cry as Lieutenant Junior Grade Sito looks at the console readings.

LTJG. SITO: Sensors are detecting something it looks like a power surge?

Taylor turns to Doctor Khan.

CAPT. TAYLOR: Could this be from the new sensor plates?

Before she could speak the ship is ROCKED about as the crew is thrown from where they're at as the lights dimmed and klaxons blare.

EXT-SPACE
