Star Trek: First Contact Page #2

Synopsis: In the 24th century, the crew of the Enterprise-E has been ordered to patrol the Romulan Neutral Zone by the Federation to avoid interference with their battle against the insidious Borg. Witnessing the loss of the battle, Captain Jean-Luc Picard ignores orders and takes command of the fleet engaging the Borg. But the Borg plan to travel back into the 21st century through a vortex with the intention to stop Earth's first contact with an alien race (the Vulcans). Following the Borg sphere, Picard and his crew realize that they have taken over the Enterprise in order to carry out their mission. Their only chance to do away with the Borg and their seductive queen is to make sure that Zefram Cochrane makes his famous faster-than-light travel to the stars.

- Sir, the vortex is collapsing.

- Hold your course, Mr. Hawk.

We must follow them back,

repair whatever damage they've done.

- Come on.

- Good night, Eddie.

Go home.

You're gonna regret this tomorrow.

One of the things you should

have learned about me by now

is that I don't have regrets.

- Come on, Lily. One more round.

- Z. Z, you had enough.

I'm not going up in that thing

with a drunken pilot.

I sure as hell

am not going up there sober.

What is that?

That is the constellation Leo.

No. That.

- It's an ECON!

- After all these years?

We gotta get to the Phoenix.

To hell with the Phoenix.

- Help! Help!

- Hurry! Move out! Move!

This way! Zefram!

Report.

Shields are down, long-range sensors

are off-line, main power's holding.

According to our astrometric readings,

we are in the mid-21st century.

From the radioactive isotopes

in the atmosphere, I would estimate

we have arrived approximately

Makes sense. Most of the major cities

have been destroyed,

very few governments left,

- No resistance.

- Captain.

Mr. Worf, quantum torpedoes.

- Ready, sir.

- Fire.

They were firing at the surface.

Location?

Western hemisphere,

North American continent.

Looks like a missile complex

in central Montana.

Missile complex.

The date.

Data, I need to know the exact date.

April 4th, 2063.

- April 4th, the day before first contact.

- Precisely.

Then the missile complex must be

where Zefram Cochrane is building

his warp ship.

That's what they came here to do,

stop first contact.

How much damage, Lieutenant?

Can't tell.

Long-range sensors are still off-line.

We have to go down there,

find out what happened.

Data, Beverly, you're with me.

Have a security team meet us

in Transporter Room 3.

Computer, mid-21st century

civilian clothing.

Number One, you have the Bridge.

Over here.

They're all dead.

See if one of them is Cochrane.

Data, let's go check the warp ship.

The structural integrity of the missile

appears to be intact,

but there is significant damage

to various sections of the fuselage

and primary intercooler system.

We should have the original blueprints

in the Enterprise computer.

Commander La Forge will need

to bring a team down here...

- Hold your fire! We're here to help you!

- Bullshit!

Captain, I believe I can handle this.

Greetings.

Captain, this woman requires

medical attention.

Severe theta radiation poisoning.

Radiation is coming

from the damaged throttle assembly.

We're all gonna have to be inoculated,

- and I have to get her to Sickbay.

- Doctor...

Please, no lectures

about the Prime Directive.

I will keep her unconscious.

Very well. Tell Commander Riker
