Act One

FADE IN

(Notes: Opening credits fall over opening Scenes)

The Sun comes over the horizon, as an inspection pod flies towards a dry-dock holding an NX-Class Starship.

INT-INSPECTION POD

A young female Starfleet officer sitting in the Co-Pilot chair working on the PADD looks up and smiles at her new command.

TAYLOR (Amazed) Wow she's beautiful.

Then another female is in the pilot seat.

WILLIAMS The teams should be done by the end of the day before we launch.

Taylor leans back in the chair.

TAYLOR (smiles) Let's hope so I want to get out of dry-dock as soon as we can.

Before Williams could speak the com beeps, and she presses the com button.

WILLIAMS (to com) Orbital Six?

Crewman (Over com) Captain Taylor ma'am.

TAYLOR (to com) Taylor here go ahead Ensign.

Crewmen (OC) Ma'am you're needed at Starfleet Command it's Admiral Black.

TAYLOR (to com) We're on our way, (beat) Taylor out you better get us there Steph.

Williams inputs commands into the console.

CUT TO: EXT-SURFACE

The Camera shows Starfleet Command and the arena where the crew of Enterprise landed at after they returned from their mission in the Expanse.

INT-ADMIRAL BLACK'S OFFICE

Admiral Black is working on some stuff when the doors chimed.

BLACK Come in.
