Temporal Anomaly

FADE IN:
INT. JANEWAY'S QUARTERS
JANEWAY is standing at the replicator, as a cup of
coffee APPEARS in the replicator. she REMOVES the
coffee and WALKS to a nearby chair.
As we pan away, we see the room is dimly lighted
to create a sense of evening. SITTING in the chair,
Janeway appears comfortably RELAXED. She takes a
sip of the coffee, and TURNS a page on the
HOLO-READER in her hand. The Holo-reader is showing
a copy of Jane Austen's SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, and
resembling a printed book of the Early-Twentieth
Century Earth.
At the same time we hear music PLAYING in the room,
a woman's voice singing:
___________________Singer's Voice
________________(Orchestra playing)
____Rumors fly and you don't know where to start
____'Specially when it concerns a person's heart
____I've heard tales that could set my heart a glow
____Wish I knew if the things I heard are so.
________________(refrain, slow)
____They say that falling in love is wonderful
____It's wonderful, so they say
____And with a moon up above it's...
Suddenly the music is INTERRUPTED by a beeping
sound from the COMPUTER.
______________________Computer
________You have a new live message, would you
________like to open it?
______________________Janeway
________Yes.
Says Janeway quickly, not moving from her
Holo-reader.
______________________Computer
________Please wait while I make the connection.
A few seconds passes.
______________________Computer
________The sender has security clearance of, D,
________Five, a Live Passport is not detected.
________Would you like to allow the connection?
________________(beat)
________An unsecured connection can possibly
________compromise the system and...
______________________Janeway
________Yes.
Janeway INTERRUPTS, visibly annoyed. The computer
returns to silence for a few more seconds.
______________________Computer
________Connection to Ensign Ilya Pavelevich
________Chekov established.
We hear the voice of Ensign CHEKOV, in a mild
RUSSIAN accent.
______________________Chekov
________Captain, sorry for interrupting, but I
________think we have a temporal anomaly.
____________________________________________CUT TO:
INT. VOYAGER - BRIDGE
The regular crew is off-duty, the "night"-shift
crew is on station. Chekov is sitting at the back
of the bridge near the computer terminal.
______________________Janeway
________________(from the computer terminal)
________Yes? What is it this time?
______________________Chekov
________________(to the computer terminal)
________It seems that we've being surrounded by
________a cloud of dark matter. Our sensors
________are showing very peculiar property of
________the surrounding space-time. And,
________________(beat)
________the visual sensor is picking up nothing
________at all, the Viewscreen is totally black.
Chekov fiddles with the touch controls, but the
VIEWSCREEN remained black.
____________________________________________CUT TO:
EXT. SPACE - VOYAGER (VFX-I)
FLYBY view of the ship in warp. Despite the
sense of speed, we see no STARS in space.
____________________________________________CUT TO:
INT. JANEWAY'S QUARTERS
Janeway glances at the window, notices the
percularity, and starts to talk again.
______________________Janeway
________The troubleshooting procedures didn't
________work, Ensign?
______________________Chekov
________Negative, Captain. We've already tried
________everything from zapping the PRAM to
________rebooting the Warp Drive into Single-
________User mode.
______________________Janeway
________And I bet you haven't tried this one,
Janeway says with a smile of confidence.
______________________Janeway
________Reverse the polarity of the Primary
________Reflector Dish, and redirect the conduit
________from the secondary Hadron Reservoir...
____________________________________________CUT TO:
INT. VOYAGER - BRIDGE
______________________Chekov
________________(interrupts, excited)
________The resulting inverted ionic pulse will
________be able to destabilize the temporal field?
______________________Janeway
________________(from the terminal)
________Exactly! You learn fast, Ensign Chekov.
Chekov gives orders to the crew, and TAPS on the
touch controls of the terminal rapidly.
INT. JANEWAY'S QUARTERS
Moments later, we hear sound of main deflector
FIRING. Standing at the window, Janeway feels
the sudden VIBRATION. A second later, the window
FLICKERS, and the view of space returns to normal.
We hear Chekov's voice again:
______________________Chekov
________Worked like a charm Captain. You are
________right again!
______________________Janeway
________________(smilingly)
________Aren't I always?
________________(beat)
________Good work Ensign, dismissed.
She SITS down at the chair again, picking up the
Holo-reader.
______________________Janeway
________________(to computer)
________Computer, close connection.
______________________Computer
________Connection closed, resuming last
________program.
____________________________________________CUT TO:
EXT. SPACE - VOYAGER (VFX-I)
The ship FLYS majestically at warp, passing DIRECTLY
BELOW, we see stars flying past by as lines.
At the same time, we hear the MUSIC from Janeway's
Quarters resumes.
___________________Singer's Voice
________________(Orchestra playing)
____And with the moon up above it's wonderful,
____It's wonderful, so they tell me!
FADE TO BLACK (the music continues)
___________________Singer's Voice
________________(cont'd)
____I can't recall who said it, I know I never read it
____I only know they tell me that love is grand, and
____The thing that's known as romance is wonderful
____Wonderful, in every way, so they say!
