Right There Behind You, Part I STAR TREK: RENAISSANCE "Right There Behind You, Part I" Story by Rob Jelley Teleplay by Rob Jelley & Dan Carlson This teleplay is originally from www.startrekrenaissance.com "Star Trek" and related names are registered trademarks of Paramount Pictures, Inc. This original work of fiction is written solely for non-profit purposes. Copyright 2002 by The Renaissance Group All rights reserved RENAISSANCE: "Right There Behind You, Part I" - TEASER 1. TEASER FADE IN: EXT. SPACE The Enterprise travels at impulse through the Sol System, passing the giant, awe-inspiring body of Jupiter. A title appears: STARDATE 78996.8 TWO WEEKS AGO INT. ENTERPRISE -- BRIDGE It's quiet, almost empty. Only TALORA, QUINLAN, DOJAR and TWO CREWMEN are present and none of them seem particularly busy. Another title appears: THREE DAYS AFTER THE STRIKE ON COULAR III The power that once ran through the command center seems distant, even though three days ago it pulsed with energy and was the central hub of destruction, raining fire down on the surface of Coular Three. Perhaps that is why it is so empty. Finally, someone breaks the silence. DOJAR Commander, I'm receiving a hail from Earth. It's Admiral Delfune. Talora sighs, looks back at Dojar. TALORA Put her through to the Captain's ready room. She stands and walks towards the door, pausing for a second, as though she is about to chime through -- but stops, realizing something, and continues walking as the doors slide open. We remain on the Bridge -- a feeling of isolation and solemnity sweeps over it. QUINLAN So who's in charge now? DOJAR Me... I think. QUINLAN Unless the Captain shows up. RENAISSANCE: "Right There Behind You, Part I" - TEASER 2. DOJAR (confirming) Unless the Captain shows up. He sighs. CUT TO: INT. ENTERPRISE -- READY ROOM Talora has positioned herself on the side of the table she is used to sitting on, the side she is used to looking at her captain from, and has activated the viewer. TALORA What has provoked this change? DELFUNE Starfleet feels that the Enterprise will be safer, and better cared for at Utopia Planitia. TALORA You mean that they want the ship out of the way? DELFUNE I meant what I said, Commander. Talora's not pleased with the answer, but she's not going to do anything about it. TALORA What are our orders once the Enterprise has docked? DELFUNE There's a fleet of transports awaiting your crews arrival. You're all to travel to Earth to be debriefed. TALORA The crew has already been debriefed. DELFUNE The brass has decided that they would like to debrief you again. They're looking for someone to point a finger at. TALORA (under her breath) How surprising. DELFUNE I didn't quite catch that last comment, Commander. RENAISSANCE: "Right There Behind You, Part I" - TEASER 3. TALORA It doesn't matter -- there must have been some interference. Delfune raises an eyebrow. TALORA If there's nothing else, Admiral? DELFUNE I was expecting Captain Cross to respond to my hail. TALORA Captain Cross has... (beat) is in his quarters. DELFUNE I expect to see him in person upon your return to Earth. TALORA I'm sure that you will. Delfune nods. DELFUNE Delfune out. The image of Delfune is replaced by the Starfleet insignia, leaving Talora looking at the screen -- but not for long. She stands and EXITS. CUT TO: INT. ENTERPRISE -- CORRIDOR Talora walks down a corridor, stops outside a door leading to Cross's quarters. She taps the chime -- a beat, and nothing. She taps it again. Another beat, she taps her commbadge. TALORA Talora to Cross. (beat) Capt- Before she can finish speaking the doors slide open, revealing Cross stood at the door. He hasn't shaved for at least the past two days and looks like he couldn't care less. He looks at her for a long beat. CROSS What do you want? RENAISSANCE: "Right There Behind You, Part I" - TEASER 4. TALORA Starfleet has ordered us to dock at Utopia Planitia. CROSS You could have told me that over the comm. TALORA I thought that perhaps you'd like to be present when we arrive... CROSS You could have told me that over the comm as well. A beat. TALORA Captain, it's been three days... CROSS (interrupts, voice raised) And five since those bastards killed Admiral Portman. Do you really think that I care, Commander? At all? Another beat. CROSS (softly) Is there anything else? TALORA Would you like me to inform the crew? CROSS Of Starfleet's orders? Talora nods. CROSS Yeah -- I'll be here. Cross nods, and turns to return to his quarters, as the door shuts behind him. Talora stands there for a while, looking at the door. CUT TO: EXT. SPACE The Enterprise approaching Mars. RENAISSANCE: "Right There Behind You, Part I" - TEASER 5. INT. ENTERPRISE -- BRIDGE The Enterprise crew look on as Mars begins to fill the viewscreen. Now present, along with the bridge crew from earlier, is GREY. Moments after the scene begins ELRIS enters from a turbolift. ELRIS I never thought that it would end like this. Talora turns around. TALORA We are docking at Utopia Planitia as part of the scheduled investigation, Doctor. I doubt that Starfleet will keep us here any longer then is necessary. Elris walks closer to here, both speak quietly. ELRIS Are you really so blind? TALORA I am not. But for the sake of the crew... ELRIS This crew won't even be together by this time in two weeks... TALORA But until that time comes, I intend to function as any other crew would. ELRIS I guess you won't let Y'lan up here then. TALORA Captain Cross specifically said... ELRIS Captain Cross is in his quarters feeling sorry for himself -- I can hardly see him... TALORA (interrupts) Where the captain is is none of your concern, and you have no right to question his orders. RENAISSANCE: "Right There Behind You, Part I" - TEASER 6. Elris nods, realizing that she's in the wrong as some of the closer Bridge officers turn, apparently listening into their conversation. ELRIS (louder) How long until we dock? TALORA We will have docked with Utopia Planitia by 1500 hours. Elris nods and steps back. CUT TO: EXT. SPACE -- UTOPIA PLANITIA FLEET YARDS The Enterprise docks at Utopia Planitia. INT. ENTERPRISE -- BRIDGE Same as before, Cross is still not present. QUINLAN Docking complete. Talora nods, taps some controls on her chair; activating the intercom. TALORA Talora to all crew, prepare to disembark. You will be given instruction as to how to proceed once you are within Utopia Planitia. She taps the controls again, and she is off, she turns to look at Grey. TALORA (CONT'D) Begin powering down the ship. Grey nods and EXITS through the turbolift, presumably on his way to Engineering. Quinlan stands up and leaves her console, the rest of the crew stand and also begin to step into the waiting turbolifts, except Talora. QUINLAN Wonder when I'll see this again... DOJAR Makes you wonder, doesn't it? RENAISSANCE: "Right There Behind You, Part I" - TEASER 7. INT. ENTERPRISE -- TURBOLIFT -- CONTINUOUS As the turbolift doors begin to CLOSE, Dojar notices that Talora is still sat in the command chair, alone on the Bridge but it is too late for him to do anything, as the doors close and the lift begins moving. CUT TO: INT. ENTERPRISE -- BRIDGE The camera pans around the edge of the Bridge, with Talora sitting alone in the center. The camera has nearly completed a full rotation when we hear the turbolift doors HISS open, and hear and see footsteps. The footsteps get closer to Talora until: VOICE I think you're in my seat. The camera pulls up to reveal CROSS. TALORA As far as many of the crew are concerned, it has not been your seat for the past two days. CROSS It's my name on the plaque, Commander. He indicates the Enterprise's DEDICATION PLAQUE. TALORA For some reason, I don't think that's going to be there for much longer. Cross looks at it for a moment, before sitting down in the First Officer's seat. CROSS I know. (sighs, beat) I had a dream once, you know. To be here, where I am now. I can't tell you how much I wanted to be here. There's a beat, Talora looks at him. CROSS (CONT'D) I can't believe how far away it seems right now. (shakes head) Maybe it was the Dominion. (MORE) RENAISSANCE: "Right There Behind You, Part I" - TEASER 8. CROSS (CONT'D) Maybe all that time I spent thinking about it in the POW camp just blew it away... maybe it was when I lost Daniel... or maybe when I got this command. Maybe I just spoke it too loudly. (beat) Look at me. He sighs. CROSS (CONT'D) What are you planning to do when we get back to Earth? TALORA I have not yet made up my mind. CROSS How long's it been since you were last home? TALORA Two years, two hundred and sixty- four days, and this morning. CROSS Maybe you should go there... while you still can? TALORA (confused) Thank you for your advice. They sit in silence for a moment. TALORA (CONT'D) How long has it been since you last went home? CROSS I've not been home for a long time, Commander. (beat) I don't think I'll ever find it... Talora looks at him, hopefully, but Cross doesn't see it.

CORRIDOR CROSS and TALORA briskly walk down the corridor heading towards a turbolift. CROSS I still think that you should go instead of me. TALORA Nonsense. You are just as capable of taking part in this conference as I am. CROSS But you have a Romulan point of view of what's going on, on board the Enterprise; you'd be better suited for the job. INT. TURBOLIFT -- CONTINUOUS They enter the turbolift. CROSS (to computer) Captain's Yacht. TALORA My view would be biased, I am a Romulan on board a Starfleet ship, I don't believe in the way you do things and as a result, how they turn out. Cross looks at Talora, slightly worried that the woman he is leaving in charge of his ship doesn't agree with his way of doing things. TALORA (CONT'D) But of course, I'd never betray your trust, Captain. If Romulans excel at one of your human traits, it is loyalty. CROSS I'm glad to hear that, Commander.

  • Script "...There You Are" (Original Pilot)
    Starship Excelsior Transcript "...There You Are" (Original Pilot) SCENE 100-01 NARRATOR: The U.S.S Excelsior, NCC-2000-C. Last of the great Dominion War dreadnoughts constructed. First in the hearts and minds of the men and women of Task Force 38. The Excelsior was once a ship of legends: Grenn, Dhivael, Underwood, R'iku. From 2375 to 2379, she and her intrepid crew were the first line of defense for the Iconian Gateway that had opened Starfleet’s territory to a hard-won sector of the Delta Quadrant. Two years ago, short of crew, facing Federation-wide force redistribution, the Excelsior was temporarily mothballed. One year later, a Borg offensive pushed Starfleet's Delta forces right back through the Gateway to the Alpha Quadrant. High-ranking veterans of the Excelsior, scattered throughout Starfleet's leadership, saw this and came to a single conclusion: Two years is far too long. -Opening Titles- CORTEZ: Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Excelsior. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life, and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before. SCENE 100-02 NARRATOR: USS Excelsior Ready Room. Time: Thirteen hundred hours. [SFX: Cortez pours a glass of water and takes a sip, leaning back in her seat as she does] CORTEZ: Captain's Log, Stardate 59932.1. It has been a long wait in dock. The way the refit crews are working, I fear we won't launch until Christmas—or even New Year's Eve. I have no desire to remember 2382 as the year we didn't launch.

Juxtaposed with the stories of the athletes, there is the tale of an aspiring terrorist. His relentless devotion to a coach-like cult leader, and his physical, spiritual and psychological struggles on his journey to the Olympic Games mirrors the challenges of the athletes. The research portion of the thesis examines many of the texts generally included in the canon of sport fiction.

  • Dark Frontier
    Episode 1.17 Dark Frontier All she could hear was the sound of countless voices speaking and shouting inside her head, jumbled, overlapping one another. An hour ago she was looking forward to seeing Earth but now all she wanted was to go home and see her parents again. She desperately tried to tune the voices out, no longer could she hear her own thoughts through the noise. Then they disappeared. Everything was quiet. Morgan opened her eyes. She groggily checked her surroundings as they sharpened from a tired blur. In seconds she was back on Voyager, apparently safe and sound. She stepped out of her alcove. "Regeneration cycle incomplete," the computer warned her. "Oh shut up," Morgan moaned. She looked over to the two neighbouring alcoves. Seven was still in hers, her eyes fluttering. Tani's was empty as it usually was. Morgan sighed and she left the Cargo Bay to go and find her. The Bridge: "And this one's self explanatory," Tani said from Chakotay's chair. "Oh be quiet," Harry hissed from Kathryn's. Tani ignored him and she brought the tricorder closer to her lips as if it were a microphone. "Swore I would never, be that girl holding your hand..." "Oh please, just shut up," Harry moaned. "Look at you gazing, acting like your biggest fan," Tani continued while bopping along to her imagined beat. Harry started to consider calling Security. For the moment he glanced around for help. Typically everyone else were pretending they couldn't hear her, their heads buried in their consoles.

  • Voyager Season 9 Episode #10: Strange Bedfellows Vv8,Jetc.Org
    Voyager Season 9 Episode #10: Strange Bedfellows Episode 9-10 - Strange Bedfellows By: Daya ([email protected]) "Shields at sixty percent," Tuvok called out over the din of the klaxons and the reports coming in from all stations of the ship. "And holding, Captain." No one needed to hear the unspoken 'for now' that hung in all their minds. A lancing bolt of red energy sizzled through the blackness of space around them and Voyager pitched hard to starboard, smoke billowing up from the science station, filling the bridge with gray plumes that turned the atmosphere murky with the eerie red of the battle lighting. Janeway looked towards Tuvok who nodded briefly and turned his attention back to the tactical reading he was collecting at his station. "Tuvok, keep on them with the pulse cannons. Mr. Paris, keep us moving. Don't give them a stationary target." Simultaneous acknowledgements from both men preceded Voyager's wild spin and weave, a complex maneuver, intricate in its dimension and beautiful in its execution. At the same moment, Voyager's cannons burst forth with pulses of light, like petals from a deadly flower, unerringly connecting with the Scout ships. As she clutched her seat, Janeway imagined the inertial dampeners hard pressed to keep up with Tom's maneuvering. If the situation weren't so dire that it would have been a thing of beauty to watch, but as it was she was grateful that Tom and Tuvok were earning their keep. "They aren't coming at us with everything they've got." Kathryn looked at Chakotay.

  • Piece of Conspiracy
    Episode 1.21 Piece of Conspiracy Mess Hall: It was that time of the year again. Every year the room would be more empty than the previous, this year wasn't the exception. Only two tables were full and the so called volunteers didn't look in the right state to be volunteers for anything. People clapped awkwardly as the pair everyone were watching finished their dance with a bow. Their bow was followed by one of them leaning too far forward and falling head first onto the floor. "Um. That's Jenson and Evans everyone, cos why not. Every show needs a yearly tradition and this is it," Tom badly tried to improvise. "Who's next?" He was surprised to see a hand go up at first. He quickly realised it was only Kathryn on her twentieth cup of coffee. It would have been more but there was no more room for new cups on the table. "Mum, we've seen your talent, put your hand down," Morgan complained beside her. Kathryn giggled while she reached out to pinch her cheek. Of course Morgan recoiled until she ran out of room as well, doing so nearly knocked the poor ensign next to her out of his chair. "Oh, no volunteers," Tom said, averting his eyes from that particular table. There was only one left he could turn to. "I see there's two people in the audience who come every year but don't take part. Maybe it's time to..." "Oh sure, I've got this magic trick where I make teeth disappear," Jessie said in a fake sweet voice, but her eyes screamed danger.

  • Lupus Incognitus.Pdf
    Stardate 87435.61 Part 1 Vice Admiral Juan Mal walked into Admiral James Hastler’s office at Starfleet’s embassy on New Romulus. It was a small office that Fleet Admiral Attilio Varrak and he shared. In the far left corner was Attilio’s desk which was empty now. James’s desk was directly to the right of the entrance. The room was sparsely decorated. Starfleet banners hung on the walls and a Starfleet rug lay in the center of the room. Behind each desk was a plant, probably just to give the room some much needed life. James was sitting at his desk reading reports on a PADD. As Mal entered the room, James placed it on the desk and looked up. “Welcome back to New Romulus Admiral,” James said. “Thank you sir. Your communiqué said there was something important we needed to discuss.” Mal sat in the chair opposite of James and tugged on his uniform to straighten it out. “I’ve been in talks with Romulan, Klingon, and Federation leaders. As you know, the Romulan Republic was newly established when the Iconian War started. Their resources were already limited, and the war demanded much from them, as it did from all of us. While the Federation and Klingon Empire have the infrastructure in place to bounce back, the Republic does not.” Mal leaned forward and rested his arm on the desk. “How can we help?” “We and the Klingons will be providing resources, materials, assistance, and defense where possible. Understandably the Romulans want to be able to stand on their own two feet, and we will help get them there.
