100 INT. KLINGON BIRD OF PREY - BRIDGE (VFX-P) 100
As before. On the screen, we can now see several of the
monitors in Engineering. On the left side of the
screen is the large cutaway view of the Enterprise.
Lursa suddenly reacts to something on the screen.
LURSA
That's it!
(to B'Etor)
Replay from time index four-two-
nine.
B'Etor works. The image on their monitor RUNS BACKWARD
for a moment and then FREEZES. On the screen, we can
see several of the monitors in Engineering. On the
left side of the screen is the large cutaway view of
the Enterprise. Lursa touches the diagram.
LURSA
(continuing)
Magnify this section and enhance.
B'Etor works. The picture ZOOMS IN on the cut-a-way
graphic and SHARPENS in FOCUS. There are several
blocks of numbers and text visible. Lursa studies the
image.
LURSA
Their shields are operating on a
modulation of two-five-seven point
four...
The sisters exchange an excited glance, then move
toward the command area.
B'ETOR
(calls out)
Adjust our torpedo frequency to
match - two-five-seven point
four!
The two sisters smile eagerly.
101 INT. ENTERPRISE BRIDGE 101
DATA
(to Riker)
Sir, I am detecting an anomalous
subspace reading in Main
Engineering. It may be --
WHAM! The ship is ROCKED HARD. Alarms go off on the
Bridge.
102 EXT. SPACE - ENTERPRISE AND KLINGON SHIP (VFX-I) 102
The Klingon ship is FIRING FOUR T0RPEDOES at the
Enterprise. The torpedoes PASS DIRECTLY THROUGH the
ship's SHIELDS and hit directly on the hull.
103 INT. ENTERPRISE BRIDGE 103
WHAM! Another HIT.
WORF
(shocked)
They have found a way to penetrate
our shields.
RIKER
Lock phasers and return fire!
104 EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE & KLINGON SHIP (VFX-I) 104
The Enterprise FIRES at the Bird of Prey. but the
phaser shots are stopped by the Klingon SHIELDS, which
flash on when they're hit.
The Bird of Prey returns FIRE. The shot carves a
jagged tear in the Enterprise's hull.
105 INT. BRIDGE 105
As before. The ship is jolted again... the Con console
EXPLODES and the Con officer is killed.
RIKER
(to Troi)
Deanna, take the helm. Get us out
of orbit.
Troi rushes to the Con and works...
106 EXT. SPACE- THE ENTERPRISE & KLINGON SHIP (VFX-I) 106
The Enterprise turns and leaves orbit, but the Klingon
ship is right on top of them... FIRING at the
defenseless starship.
107 INT. BRIDGE 107
A jolt.
DATA
Hull breach on decks thirty-one
Through thirty-five.
Another JOLT. The Bridge lights FLICKER. The
situation is desperate.
RIKER
(urgent, to Worf)
Worf, that's an old Klingon ship.
What do we know about it? Are
there any weaknesses?
The ship is JOLTED. They all hold on.
WORF
It is a Class D-twelve Bird of
Prey. They were retired from
service because of defective
plasma coils.
RIKER
Plasma coils... is there any way
we can use that to our advantage?
WORF
I do not see how. The plasma coil
is part of their cloaking
device...
107A INT. ENGINEERING 107A
There is a sudden EXPLOSION on the upper level. Geordi
and the other Engineers rush to deal with it.
GEORDI
Get a stabilizer on that conduit.
107B INT. BRIDGE 107B
Riker suddenly gets an inspiration as the Bridge is
ROCKED.
RIKER
(to Data)
Could we access the defective coil
and trigger their cloak?
DATA
(considers)
Perhaps.
(suddenly enthusiastic)
Yes! If we sent a low-level ionic
pulse, it might reset the coil and
engage the cloaking systems.
WORF
(onto the idea)
As their cloak begins to engage,
their shields will drop.
RIKER
Right. And they'll be vulnerable
for at least two seconds.
(to Data)
Data, lock onto that plasma coil.
DATA
(confident)
No problem.
Data goes to work.
RIKER
Worf, prepare a spread of photon
torpedoes. We'll have to hit them
the instant they begin to cloak.
WORF
Aye, sir.
RIKER
We're only going to get one shot
at this. Target their primary
reactor. With any luck, their
warp core should implode.
Worf works.
108 EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE & KLINGON SHIP (VFX-I) 108
The Enterprise ROLLS and TURNS back toward the planet,
tries to get away from the Klingon ship. But the Bird
of Prey follows its every move.
109 INT. BRIDGE 109
DATA
I have accessed their coil
frequency... initiating ionic
pulse...
The ship is hit again. An aft CONSOLE EXPLODES.
RIKER
Make it quick!
110 INT. KLINGON BIRD OF PREY 110
Lursa and B'Etor in command... savoring their imminent
victory.
LURSA
(to Navigator)
Target their Bridge.
B'ETOR
Full disruptors.
The Navigator suddenly reacts to something on his
console.
KLINGON HELM
We are cloaking!
B'ETOR
What?
KLINGON HELM
Mistress -- our shields are down!
111 EXT. SPACE - THE KLINGON SHIP (VFX-I) 111
The ship begins shimmering- engaging its cloak.
112 INT. ENTERPRISE BRIDGE 112
RIKER
Fire!
Worf works.
113 OMITTED 113
114 INT. KLINGON BIRD OF PREY (VFX-I) 114
Lursa and B'Etor react to the sight on the Viewscreen
as the spread of torpedoes heads directly for them.
The two sisters exchange a look. The ship is suddenly
ROCKED HARD and we can see the beginning of an
EXPLOSION...
115 EXT. SPACE - THE KLINGON SHIP (VFX-I) 115
The ship IMPLODES, completely destroyed. pieces of
the shattered vessel float past the camera.
116 INT. ENTERPRISE BRIDGE 116
DATA
(excited)
YES!!
