Story:Star Trek: Archer (fan series)/The Front/Teaser

Teaser Fade In

Ext. Space

(Archer is under attack from at least two Cardassian vessels. They make one go KaBOOM! but they are taking a heavy beating.)

Int. Main Bridge (Red Alert)

Sparks rain down as Commander Martin walks down the stairs.

Cmdr. Martin: Captain!

He helps her up and goes to the MSD as more sparks erupt from the ceiling as coolant spews from the ceiling, as she turns to Y'Nar at the Ops console.

Capt. Taylor: Report!

Y'Nar looks at her console.

Ens. Y'Nar: It looks like the Dominion have retreated, Captain!

Martin walks down the steps.

Cmdr. Martin: We must have hurt them bad.

Kaye turns to Captain Taylor.

Ens. Kaye: Not as bad as they hurt us, all engines are offline.

Mason reports.

Ltjg. Mason: Captain, shields are down as are all weapons arrays.

Martin turns to her.

Cmdr. Martin: We'd better hope they don't come back, we're sitting ducks.

Taylor taps her combadge as it chirped.

Capt. Taylor: Taylor to Engineering, what's the status of the warp drive?

Cut to: Int. Main Engineering

In engineering the alarms are blaring as sparks erupt from the ceiling as crewmen are running around the Engine room making repairs or helping others as Commander Williams gives the full damage report.

Ltcmdr. Williams: We're in bad shape Captain, we had to shut down the warp engines to avoid a breach, the impulse engines are gone too, I think I can give you thrusters but I've got a lot of casualties down here I've got to tend to first.

Cut to: Int. Main Bridge (Red Alert)

Ensign Y'Nar looks at her console.

Ens. Y'Nar: More damage reports coming in, Captain. There's a hull breach on deck four, force-fields in place, repair crews on the way.

Martin gives her a causality report.

Cmdr. Martin: We've had casualties on all decks, no fatalities so far.

Kaye looks at Captain Taylor.

Ens. Kaye: Captain, request permission to give Williams a hand in Engineering. Maybe I can help get propulsion up and running.

She nods at her and she leaves the bridge as Mason reports to Taylor.

Ltjg. Mason: Captain, my readings indicate the navigational deflector has sustained massive damage. It will be necessary to repair it before we can achieve more than thruster power.

Taylor turns to Ensign Y'Nar.

Capt. Taylor:  Get repair crews on it. Y'Nar, I want a complete analysis of all the damage we've sustained.

Y'Nar looks at her.

Ens. Y'Nar: Aye, Captain.

Ext. Space

Archer is a drift and has scorch markers on her outer hull.
