2x02 - "Riding the Storm"

Written By Alex Matthews

On Shaw's orders, with little else to do until they can send aid, Aldred and McKenchie explore the Tholian ship. As Aldred studies it, McKenchie encounters crystalline fragments, that Aldred amusedly identifies as the remains of a Tholian, much to McKenchie's horror. However, the cause of death is unclear - the crystalline membranes appear to have been completely shattered somehow.

T'Mur at first declines to be evacuated, feeling she can be of more help at Camp Ascendant, but Shaw convinces her the convoy will need an experienced command officer to lead it, in case the shield plan fails. She and Perry coordinate the three shuttles that will evac people to a temporarily designated 'Beta Site', while Kelham works on interlinking the two shield generators with the Cornwell, which will remain on site and act as the lynch-pin and control hub of the operation. 

*             *             *

Evac convoy heads out, just missing the main brunt of the storm as it inches closer. T'Mur picks up another of the strange fluctuations within the field, wonders if perhaps another impact is imminent, that another ship has passed through the field. 

*             *             *

Shield engaged, barely in time, as the storm begins to rip into the saucer, causing more of it to buckle and cave in. Unfortunately, energized particulate matter within the storm is unlike anything they were expecting, akin to a Vulcan sandfire storm, causing the shields to be taxed beyond was was expected - unsure how long they can keep it going.

*             *             *

Aldred quantum dates several components from the interior of the ship and is very puzzled by the readings - they appear to be -512, meaning it is from over 500 years in the future!

*             *             *

Scans show that the worst of the storm will pass soon, but one of the power cells is disconnected from the emitters by a group of overloaded relays, with the overall shield integrity begins to fail, causing 'holes' to form. Kelham is forced to go outside and replaced the relays, at great personal risk.

*             *             *

T'Mur and Perry's convoy have landed at the designated 'Beta Site', when sensors pick up an approaching ship, which does not have a Starfleet transponder. Perry is worried it is Romulans, but they are both stunned to see a single Tholian Widow-class scoutship approaching. It begins to scan them in detail, as they wait nervously for it to be over, running their own passive scan. 

*             *             *

Kelham manages to replace two of the burned-out relays, but as he is working on the last, a large hole forms in the shield directly beside him, forcing him to take cover before his suit can be badly damaged. But more holes continue to form, putting those still within the saucer section at risk as the storm tears away at what little surface protection they were able to put together...
