INT. USS ENTERPRISE, DECK 15
CAPTAIN KIRK walks down one of the familiar decks of THE
ENTERPRISE. He grips his starfleet coffee mug firmly in
his hand as he confidently heads for the bridge.
KIRK (NARRATION)
Captains Log, Stardate 2263.2 -
After encountering an alien in an
escape pod at Starbase Yorktown,
The Enterprise has been dispatched
on a rescue mission to a nearby
planet.
KIRK steps into the turbolift and leans against the wall as
he waits to arrive at his destination.
KIRK (NARRATION)
This should be a fairly simple
search-and-rescue operation, but
something about our new friend
Kalara gives me a strange feeling
in my gut. Well, its either that
...or the chicken sandwich and
coffee I had for lunch.
KIRK frowns and rubs his rumbling belly. Its groans
sound like the hum of a tribble.
UHURA
Yes, Captain.
UHURA follows orders and pushes some buttons. We hear the
familiar jingle of an open shipwide comm. KIRK readjusts in
his seat for comfort.
KIRK (CONTD)
Attention crew of The Enterprise.
Our mission is straightforward.
Rescue a crew stranded on a planet
in uncharted space.

KIRK (CONTD)
Our trajectory will take us through
an unstable nebula - one which will
disable all communication with
Starfleet. Were gonna be on our
own.
INT. ENTERPRISE, DECK 2
A slow zoom in on KEENSERs face as he and some of the other
crew stand still to listen. He looks worried.
CHEKOV
This is kind of nice, no?
SPOCK raises a vulcan eyebrow.

CHEKOV
Like a massage chair!
CHEKOV nods to himself as if kindly reaffirming his own
statement, before the vibrations start to ease off.
CHEKOV (DISAPPOINTED)
Aw. Cloud density diminishing, sir.
EXT. ENTERPRISE, OUTSIDE A DARK NEBULA (THE OTHER SIDE)
The bridge lights are now back to full power and everyone
seems a lot more comfortable.
KALARA
This is Altamid. My ship is
stranded here.
KIRK
Lieutenant Uhura, hail them.
On the viewscreen is KRALL. His menacing look would scare
most people - but not CAPTAIN KIRK.
KIRK
This is Captain James T.-
KRALL
I am Krall. You are mine. I demand
you give me The Abronath!
KIRK
Where Im from, its polite to let
people finish their sentenc-

KRALL
Thats a nice Enterprise youve got
there... Itd be a shame if
something happened to it!
KRALL
TEAR THAT SHIP APART!
INT. ENTERPRISE, BRIDGE
KIRK
He wouldnt.
The entire ship quakes as KRALLs attack begins.
SPOCK
He did.
KIRK
Shields up, red alert! Fire
everything weve got!
SULU
They took out the dish - shields
are inoperable!
KIRK
Warp us out of here, Mr. Sulu!
SULU
Yes, sir.
SULU tries to do a warp jump - but theres no jump.
5.
SULU
I cant engage the warp drive, sir!
KIRK presses a button on his chair.
KIRK
I need to go to warp, Scotty!
INT, ENTERPRISE, NEAR THE NACELLES
SCOTTY is basically frantically trying to rebuild the back
part of THE ENTERPRISE from scratch, throwing up various
LEGO pieces as fast as he can.
SCOTTY
Im trying to fix it Captain, but
theyre taking it apart faster than
I can build it! Im already out of
grey!
EXT. ENTERPRISE, ABOVE ALTAMID
In a wide shot, we see that half of THE ENTERPRISE is now
made out of an assortment of oddly coloured bricks.
INT, ENTERPRISE, NEAR THE NACELLES
KIRK (O.S)
Scotty, I need warp. Now!
SCOTTY looks pained. More worried than weve ever seen him.
SCOTTY
I cannae sir, the nacelles...
theyve ... theyve gone!
