Transcript

STILETTO: Give me a couple more of those big guns and I'll carve out my own corner of the universe.

MAESTRO: I have a big gun. I have a happy gun.

STILETTO: Cute! Attention! Captain on Deck.

WILFORD: At ease. Congratulations. We've cleared a path to the Kilrah jump point. Next stop, the Wormhole Gate itself.

CAG: We must assume that our objective will be strongly defended. This job is far from over.

ZERO: But Captain, won't our new toy make short work of the remaining aliens?

WILFORD: Well, unfortunately, Lieutenant, our new 'toy' turned out to be a fire-and-forget weapon. We fired it once and now we can forget about using it again. Commander Finley estimates that if we charge it up a second time, there's a 67% probability that it will cause a fatal overload and destroy the Midway in the process. Now, I'd rather not test those odds until we absolutely have to. No, we'll have to fight our next engagement the old-fashioned way-- mission by mission.

CAG: And that first mission will occur right after the jump to the Kilrah System.

WILFORD: Carry on.

CAPTAIN

We must assume our objective will

be strongly defended. This job is

far from over.

ZERO

But, Captain, won't our new toy

make short work of the remaining

aliens?

CAPTAIN

Unfortunately, Lieutenant, our new

"toy" turned out to be a fire-and

forget weapon. We fired it once

and now we can forget about using

Lt again. Commander Finley

estimates that if we charge it up a

second time, there's a 6796.

trobability it will cause a fatal

overload and destroy the Midway in

the process. I'd rather not test

those odds unless we absolutely

have to.

INT. MIDWAY REC. ROOM

BEGIN on the main screen and a MATCHING SHOT of the devastated fleet. PULL
BACK TO INCLUDE a Briefing Room full of pilots; all excitedly talking to
each other. Anderson sits at his console; working the screen. (*Rewrite
this scene)

STILETTO

That plasma weapon really did it.

MAESTRO

Looks like it's all over but the

shouting.

CASEY

I hope you're right...

Silence falls as Blair, the Captain, and the CAG ENTER.

CAG

We've cleared a path to the Kilrah jump

point. Next stop, the Wormhole Gate.

The pilots cheer. The Captain signals for silence.

CAPTAIN

It's a little early to celebrate,

people. We must assume our objective

will be strongly defended. This job is

far from over.

MAESTRO

But, Captain, won't our new big gun

make that job pretty easy?

CAPTAIN

If we use the plasma weapon a second

time, the drain on the Midway's power

coils would cause a lethal overload.

(beat) We'll have to fight this next

engagement the old-fashioned way.

Mission by mission.

CAG

And that first mission will occur right

after the jump to Kilrah. Briefing is

scheduled for 1100 Hours.

BLAIR

Until then, eat, sleep, try to relax.

God knows when you'll get another

chance. Dismissed.

EXT. SPACE MIDWAY (CG):

The Midway passes through the jump point to Kilrah...

EXT. SPACE THE KILRAH SYSTEM (CG)

... as the Midway appears in this system, we SEE the huge Wormhole in the
far distance; visibly larger, and more ominous, since its appearance in the
Prologue.
