Star Trek: Short Treks

Yellow alert.

Yellow alert.

This is Ops to inventory two.

Starbase 28 is under attack.

This is inventory two to Ops. Can anyone give me a status report? Aah!

...sustained breaches at four, five, seven and nine. Fire's uncontained.

Cadet Sidhu, on your feet.

Yes, sir.

This starbase is under attack.

There's damage on deck four. We can't get to the brig. Until we can,

- this prisoner is your responsibility. - We need Medical on deck four.

- Are we clear? - Yes, sir.

- What happened? - Mutiny.

He doesn't get out of this room. Understood?

Understood, sir. Why the mask?

Crew doesn't need to see that this guy turned.

Can we trust you with this intelligence? Miss Sidhu?

- Can you do this? Are you clear? - Absolutely, sir.

Captain Pike?

Open comms right now. I need to know what the hell's going on out there.

...between decks four and five... Engineering, what is your ETA?

- You're... - I said, open comms.

You're a prisoner. Your orders carry no weight anymore.

As you can gather, we're in the middle of a situation.

Take a seat, Captain, and I'll ask you to remain silent.

- There are lives at stake. - That's not silent.

A few hours ago, the Enterprise picked up a distress call

from the U.S.S. Bouman.

- The Bouman? Is she... - She's in danger.

Cadet Sidhu, I need you to let me out of here.

- And risk court-martial? - Listen.

We approached, the ship looked dead in the water.

An admiral on board sent an encrypted hail.

A group of Tholians had seized the Bouman.

They knew we were in the same sector and we'd come to her aid.

It was a trap. The Tholians wanted the Enterprise.

The admiral ordered me to steer clear.

I couldn't abandon that crew. Soon as we got the admiral out of there,

she aborted the rescue mission, then attempted to relieve me of duty.

I resisted, but...

Didn't go so well.

They followed you here, didn't they? The Tholians.

You have people on the Bouman, huh? Family?

Yeah, I remember your file.

You wanted a position in Engineering, right?

I was rejected.

My husband and I both applied for the Enterprise,

but he got the Bouman, and I wound up here.

Your husband.

Yes, that's right, that...

The two of you were the sole survivors of the Tholian attack

on Beryllium just a couple of years ago.

You can ensure your husband survives them a second time.

If you let me go,

maybe we can pull off some miracle and get him out.

The Tholians, they just want the Enterprise.

I can lead them away, beam the Bouman crew to safety,

then blow the Tholians to hell.

- It's what they deserve. - Aah!

- What do you say, Cadet? - I...

No. We follow protocol.

This starbase and the Enterprise remain a united front.

Regulation 191 article 14 states that when in combat,
