"The Nebula" is the second episode of Starship Enterprise, which aired on 5 June 2020. It is authored by Dragonboy546.

Summary
The USS Enterprise picks up a faint distress call coming from the vicinity of a nebula and proceeds to investigate.

Teaser

FADE IN

EXT-SPACE/WARP TUNNEL

The Enterprise is at warp.

INT-CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS

Marcia is sleeping when the com activates.

CMDR. BRANSON (Com Voice): Bridge to Captain Taylor

She activates the com.

CAPT. TAYLOR (To Com): Taylor here go ahead.

CMDR. BRANSON (Com Voice): Sorry to disturb you Marcia, but you have an alpha priority communication from Starfleet Command its Vice Admiral Cornwell

Marcia gets out of bed and gets a robe on and approaches the desktop monitor on her desk.

CAPT. TAYLOR (to com): Patch it to my quarters John.

After a few minutes Admiral Cornwell appears.

VICE ADM. CORNWELL (holographic form): Captain hope I didn't wake you up?

CAPT. TAYLOR: Its fine Admiral what can I do for you?

VICE ADM. CORNWELL (Holographic form): I understand that the Enterprise is heading to a Star system in a few days?

CAPT. TAYLOR (Nods): That's correct a red dwarf is getting ready to form.

VICE ADM. CORNWELL (holographic form): I'm postponing the quasar study for the moment the Enterprise is to a nearby nebula, the USS Yeager picked up a signal but its faint they couldn't get a lock on it. So I'm dispatching the Enterprise to head there

CAPT. TAYLOR (nods): Very well Admiral.

VICE ADM. CORNWELL (holographic form): Good luck I hope you find it Starfleet out

Cornwell vanishes as Captain Taylor activates the com.

CAPT. TAYLOR (To com): Bridge alter course to a nearby sector maximum warp.

CMDR. BRANSON (Com Voice): Aye, Captain

CUT TO:
EXT-SPACE

The Enterprise exits warp approaching the nebula cloud.

INT-ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE

Transparent viewer shows the nebula cloud.

LTJG. CARLSON: Securing from warp Captain.

CMDR. BRANSON: Science department is sad that they won't be seeing the red dwarf forming.

CAPT. TAYLOR: Same here but we have our orders, full scans T'Lar.

Commander T'Lar scans the nebula and reports.

LTCMDR. T'LAR: The nebula is vast, Captain it extends beyond the reach of our sensors.

Captain Taylor turns to Lieutenant Smith.

CAPT. TAYLOR: Anything Julia?

Lieutenant Smith listens on her ear wig and reports.

LTJG. SMITH: Barely its deep in the nebula.

CAPT. TAYLOR: Kara take us in full impulse.

LTJG. CARLSON: Aye, Captain.

Lieutenant Carlson inputs commands into the helm, then all of the sudden the ship jolts forward hard as lights dimmed and klaxon blare as Captain Taylor goes to her chair.

CAPT. TAYLOR (Tensing up): REPORT!

T'Lar reports.

LTCMDR. T'LAR: Something has locked onto us we're being pulled inside!

CAPT. TAYLOR: Helm get us out of here full impulse!

LTJG. CARLSON: We've lost main power auxiliary power down to twenty percent!

Taylor tenses up.

CAPT. TAYLOR (To com): Bridge to Engineering Steph status report?

LTCMDR. WILLIAMS (Com Voice): Captain whatever has a hold of the ship has disrupted matter/anti-matter flow I had to shut down the warp engines to avoid a breach

CAPT. TAYLOR (To com): How long till we have warp drive restored.

LTCMDR. WILLIAMS (Com Voice): Its unknown at the moment, but till that tractor beam or whatever has ahold of us let's go we will not be able to have warp drive

CAPT. TAYLOR: Very well then Steph keep me posted Taylor out.

Taylor ends the com call as she's tensed up.

EXT-SPACE/NEBULA

The Enterprise is being pulled by an unknown force.

CAPT. TAYLOR'S (VO): Captain's Log Stardate 5878.4, While investigating a strange signal the Enterprise has been caught in some form of tractor beam, and we're unable to break free of its grip to make matters worse the warp drive is down so till warp is restored we can't escape whatever has ahold of us grip

Taylor studies the repair reports on the warp drive.

CAPT. TAYLOR: Warp drive is almost restored.

CMDR. BRANSON (Sighs): But till we can break free of whatever has us, Steph doesn't want to risk activating the warp drive.

CAPT. TAYLOR: Status on helm control?
