NAVIGATOR:

It's not having any effect, sir. I think-

DEMORA:

Sir! The starboard vessel's hull is collapsing.

15BINCLUDE VIEWSCREEN (VFX-I) 15B

Suddenly the right-hand ship on the screen is engulfed by a fiery

tendril of energy and it explodes. The other ship continues to be thrown

about and buffeted. Everyone reacts with shock on the Bridge.

>>> CHEKOV

How many people were aboard that ship?

DEMORA:

Two hundred sixty-five.

>>> Harriman pales at the sight, seems shell-shocked by the struction

of the ship. He's overwhelmed now; at a genuine loss as to what to do

next.

DEMORA:

(urgent)

The Lakul's hull integrity is down to twelve percent, sir.

Harriman looks over at Kirk, who has remained quiet during this entire

sequence only through great effort and out of deference to the young

captain. This is a delicate moment- Harriman doesn't want to look

incapable, but at the same time, he needs help.

HARRIMAN:

Captain Kirk, I would appreciate any suggestions you might have.

Kirk is out of his chair like a cork out of a bottle. He moves down to

stand next to Harriman.

KIRK:

(sotto)

First, move us within transporter range and beam those people to the

Enterprise.

Harriman looks at him with surprise.

HARRIMAN:

What about the gravimetric distortions? They'll tear us apart.

KIRK:

(gently)

Risk is part of the game if you want to sit in that chair.

Kirk gives him a supportive look. Harriman buckles down and grimly looks

at the image on the screen.

HARRIMAN:

Helm, close to within transporter range.

Kirk glances at the cameraman, who's still shining the light on them

all.

KIRK:

And second, turn that damned thing off.

The cameraman turns off the light.

CUT TO:

16 EXT. SPACE- ENTERPRISE-B (VFX-I) 16

The ship edges in yet closer to the crackling ribbon. The tendrils from

the ribbon lash out at the ship, just missing it.

17 INT. ENTERPRISE-B- BRIDGE17

As before.

DEMORA:

We're within range, sir.

HARRIMAN:

(to lieutenant)

Beam them directly to Sickbay.

CHEKOV:

(concerned)

How big's your medical staff?

HARRIMAN:

(embarrassed)

The medical staff doesn't arrive until Tuesday.

Chekov turns to the two journalists.

CHEKOV:

You and you. You've just become nurses. Let's go.

Chekov and the journalists EXIT to the turbolift.

DEMORA:

Main Engineering reports fluctuations in the warp plasma relays.

SCOTTY:

Bypass the relays and go to auxiliary systems.

The LIEUTENANT is having problems at the aft console.

LIEUTENANT:

Sir, I'm having trouble locking onto them. They appear to be in some

sort of temporal flux.

Kirk turns to Scotty.

KIRK:

Scotty?

Scotty quickly moves to look at the transporter console.

SCOTTY:

What the hell...

Kirk moves to him.

SCOTTY:

Their life signs are are phasing in and out of our space-time continuum.
