"Bio Level 4"
(On the Delta/Beta Quadrant border, aboard the U.S.S. Phoenix-X, Bridge)
Daniel: Here we are again, exploring space like never before.
Gotens: Wait. Weren't we just assigned to the Flortarios system? Are we being intentionally diverted to the Beta-Delta Quadrant border? Doesn't Starfleet trust us to fight in this war?
Red: Captain! The transwarp function is overheating. Temperature at 9500 kelvins and rising.
Daniel: Just do the shut down thing.
Red: Dropping, now.
Ensign Dan: Oooooh. I can feel my tummy sinking back down.
Wallace: Okayyyy.
Gotens: Stop with the okayyyyys. I just get so freaked out with them. Stop the insanity. One more okayyyy and I'll slap whoever says that!
Daniel: Okayyyy.
(Commander Gotens slaps the Captain. Everyone on the bridge takes in a deep breath. The Captain's face is splattered everywhere. It's on the control panel. It's on the floor. It's everywhere)
Armond: I think I got some of the Captain in my eye.
Ensign Dan: Nope. That's just crust.
Armond: Shut up.
(The Captain's splattered parts are moving toward its faceless body)
Gotens: Wow. I'm in trouble. I'm just going to relieve myself of duty to work on my tolerance for outdated colloquialisms. Need to remain anonymous for a while. Just long enough to let him cool. See ya.
(The Captain's body molds back and his face forms)
Daniel: He's going to get it. Where did he go?
(Armond restrains the Captain)
Armond: Captain, no! He's just having anxiety because his body is getting old.
Daniel: Fine then.
Wallace: Guys? I'm detecting an astray Starfleet long-range explorer in the next quadrant? We are still cloaked. Do you want to drop cloak and intercept?
Daniel: Plot a course, but don't decloak. What is our ETA?
Red: It is seven hours.

Daniel: Plot a course, but don't decloak. What is our ETA?
Red: It is seven hours.
Armond: Hold on. There is a message from Starfleet coming in on Priority one.
Daniel: How can we receive a message this far from Starfleet?
Armond: Well, you see, that residual cloud we previously encountered created an abnormal subpsace uplink through our transwarp conduit.
Daniel: How can we receive a message this far from Starfleet?
Armond: Well, you see, that residual cloud we previously encountered created an abnormal subpsace uplink through our transwarp conduit.
Daniel: Oh, very good, Lieutenant. Put it through the Conference room. Senior officers, with me. BOB, you have the Bridge.
BOB: Right.
Ensign Dan: But he's just your Ferengi special counsellor?
BOB: How dare you? You're relieved!
Ensign Dan: Oh, man.
(In the Conference room)
#Theseus: Phoenix-X, we are being threatened by an unknown, massive force. They plan to use a biological weapon upon Sol III. Since the bulk of our fleets are engaged in high-stakes, orchestral Dominion battles, we are in dire need of your help. They are one ship, yet very powerful. Our home forces are not enough against what appears to be some kind of multi-frequency ammunition. They just penetrate our shields and infect many to death. We cannot stop them. You are our most over-powered. You have an impeccable crew and possess the ability to cloak. I don't care how you do it. Prevent this weapon from going off or the Federation will be dissolved and open to anyone who wants it.
BOB: Right.
Ensign Dan: But he's just your Ferengi special counsellor?
BOB: How dare you? You're relieved!
Ensign Dan: Oh, man.

Wallace: That is all of the message.
Daniel: How long will it take us to get back?
Kugo: Even with transwarp, it unlikely we can get back in time.
Daniel: We'd be too late.
Gotens: What about risking ultra transwarp again?
Kugo: It's a risk. I have been secretly obsessed with correcting. I've been working on it. We'd get there faster.
Gotens: We'd be too early.
Kayl: But what do we do when we get there?
Daniel: I don't know. We'll just do whatever there is to stop them. Is there any way to compensate for the multi-frequency weapon they are using?
Kugo: I think so. It will need a little tweaking but, with cloud modifications to multiphasic shields, they shouldn't hurt us that much.
Daniel: Recruit any support you need. I don't want to take any risks. I want extraneous crew to report to the Cargo Bay and put on all the environmental suits we have. If we run out, put those people in the Messhall and erect a Level 10 forcefield. I want everyone to stay at those places.
Gotens: Doctor, be prepared for potential casualties. It looks like a biosafety hazard of levelling proportions.
Lox: Understood.
Daniel: Don't bother providing a suit for me. Give it to someone who needs it.
Lox: What are you talking about?
Daniel: I am not susceptible to conventional diseases since I'm basically just a liquid, metamorphic entity.
Lox: That's not entirely true.
Red: Does this mean we can't investigate that Starfleet explorer Voyager in the next quadrant?
Daniel: No time. This is priority. Plot a course to Earth. Let's move, move, move!
(On the Beta/Alpha Quadrant border, board the ship threatening Earth, the Gelomria)
Dowi: ETA?
Towa: Half an hour, Captain.
Gonda: Captain—
(The huge ship slowly moves through a scape of dead Starfleet and Sol defense ships, afloat. The Phoenix-X drops into normal space)
(On the Phoenix-X, Bridge)
Daniel: On screen.
(The screen blinks on to the view of the gigantic enemy vessel, passing through the adrift Starfleet ships)
Gotens: Hold on to your body parts.
(Everyone except the Captain is wearing an environmental suit)
Kayl: In addition to Federation attack fighters, there are seven downed Starfleet starships— the Cedar, Blue Nose, Shark, Sun Light, Grolier, Bautista and the Jenova.
Daniel: Life signs?
Armond: A few, on each ship.
Daniel: Lower shields, cloak the Phoenix-X and beam any survivors aboard using a masked transporter signature.
(The Gelomria passes Saturn)
Gonda: Those idiots. We can still detect them even though they're shrouded.
Dowi: We have been working so hard to get here. Ours is a people of endurance and intolerance. Now, let's fire Bio Level 2!
(On the Phoenix-X)
Armond: Done. We got everyone still alive.
Daniel: Decloak and raise shields.
(Suddenly, a green cloudlike phaser is shot from the Gelomria onto the Phoenix-X)
Armond: Shields holding.
Daniel: Yes! Good work, Kugo.
(On the Gelomria)
Towa: Captain! There is no effect?
Dowi: What? Unlikely.
Gonda: The multi-frequency pulse was blocked somehow. They appear to have Ontari Type-L shields.
Dowi: Impossible. Earth hasn't even encountered the Ontari. They are all the way in the Gamma Quadrant.
(On the Phoenix-X, Engineering. A level 10 forcefield surrounds the section)
Gewdeque: How'd we sustain all that? According to my readings, systems should be going offline and biological organisms should be suffering diseases so bad, the EMH would be replicating himself to clean the fungus off the corridors.
Maxy: We're doing that anyway.
Kugo: I reinstalled that cloud residue from our reserves and incorporated the matter into our shield grid, giving us double—
Gewdeque: Okay, okay! I didn't ask your life story. Jeez.
Kugo: I believe I was being logical.
Gewdeque: Alright. Come on, Maxy. Let's go laugh at Billy. He had to take an environment suit.
(On the Bridge)
Gotens: Should we take these suits off?
Daniel: No. They only fired once and I suspect they are reading our vulnerabilities.
(On the Gelomria)
Gonda: Captain, if we fire a Bio Level 3, it should be enough to even infect that Changeling on the Bridge.
Dowi: Wait. I simply must know how this Starfleet vessel is managing a shield composition like that of the Ontari. If they have them, they may have more surprises in store. And I hate challenges. Hail them.
(On the Bridge)
Gotens: Red, I require your inherent Klingon away team capabilities.
(On the Gelomria, the Bridge crew is phasered unconscious but suddenly replaced by more crew)
(On the Gelomria, Ensign Dan fires on Ginda, knocking him down)
Gotens: What the hell, man? He’s the only one who could’ve stopped the countdown. You’re relieved!
Ensign Dan: Uh! And on an away mission too?
Gotens: BOB, see if you can beam the Captain back. Red, by my calculations, the crew should be good now. Reach out to the Phoenix-X and get them to return for us. As for this vessel, it looks like the Tactical Module is separate from the Environmental Superstructure where everyone lives. Ensign Dan, you are unrelieved. Make yourself useful and release a neurozine gas throughout the ship, except the Bridge.
BOB: I've got a lock.
Gotens: Then beam him aboard.
BOB: Okay.
(In space)
Daniel: I'll just change into a Melowinan space bird. That's it. I'll just fly to the ship.
(The Captain changes and flies to the ship. He is then beamed to the ship)
(On the Gelomria, the Melowinan bird-Daniel flies into the wall)
Gotens: What in the world? BOB! Explanation.
BOB: None, sir?
(Ensign Dan is laughing. The bird-Daniel gets up and shows his commbadge)
BOB: It seems that the bird is the Captain.
Gotens: I know that now!
#Computer: Countdown, 9 minutes.
Bird-Daniel: Commander, report.
Gotens: One of the Trozonians activated a slow launch Bio Level 4: Their doomsday attack. The other aliens aboard are sleeping because of the neurozine gas we released. I hope.
Ensign Dan: Do not underestimate me.
Gotens: I sent the Phoenix-X away and now it should be on its way back.
Bird-Daniel: One of those?? Ugh. Can you access navigation control?
Gotens: I tried that myself. The controls are inaccessable to non-Trozonians.
(On the Phoenix-X)
#Computer: Incoming message from enemy vessel.
Iviok: Who said that? Oh, right. These new systems, these days. They control everything. Computer, put it through.
#Red: Captain Iviok. You must return to us at once or, in 5 minutes, we will all die without honor.
#Computer: Message has ended.
Iviok: Computer, if we turn back now, how long would it take to get back at maximum warp?
#Computer: One hour.
Iviok: We don't have one hour. Solutions?
#Computer: Recommended alternative method: transwarp.
Iviok: What? That's a thing?
#Computer: Only the officials of Phoenix-X with Level 10 clearance may access that information.
Iviok: Well, if you think that works. Plot a return course and engage transwarp? I guess?
(The ship goes transwarp)
(On the Gelomria)
Red: The Phoenix-X has arrived.
Daniel: Great. Beam us all back to the ship.
(Everyone is beamed over)
(On the Phoenix-X, Bridge)
Daniel: How long will it take us to get back?
Kugo: Even with transwarp, it unlikely we can get back in time.

(The screen switches)
>Daniel: This is Captain Daniel of the Starship Phoenix-X. You have disabled our vessels, killed many of our people in an act of copycat war upon the Federation. Also, you made my crew miss lunch.
Dowi: Captain Dowi of the generational warship Gelomira. What is a Dominion Founder doing commanding a Federation starship? Is it why your vessel can sustain our attacks?
>Daniel: Oh, is this where we have a delightful facilitation of your counter-hubris?
Dowi: But all I—
>Daniel: I'm sorry, what? What?
Dowi: I just wanted—

(He is suddenly beamed out)
Gotens: Captain? Where'd you go?
(On the Gelomria, Captain Daniel is transported onto their Bridge)
Daniel: —oton torpedoes. Wait. What? Not again! Why couldn't you get Commander Gotens?
Gotens: Captain? Where'd you go?
(On the Gelomria, Captain Daniel is transported onto their Bridge)
Daniel: —oton torpedoes. Wait. What? Not again! Why couldn't you get Commander Gotens?
Dowi: Towa, initiate a Bio Level 3.
(On the Phoenix-X)
Wallace: Another gas attack is heading towards us.
Armond: Our torpedoes sustain no damage on the enemy vessel.
(On the Gelomria)
Dowi: So, you think you're funny, huh?
Daniel: You better watch out. I'm a Changeling.
(On the Phoenix-X)
Wallace: Another gas attack is heading towards us.
Armond: Our torpedoes sustain no damage on the enemy vessel.
(On the Gelomria)
Dowi: So, you think you're funny, huh?
Daniel: You better watch out. I'm a Changeling.
(He fails to form a spike hand)
Dowi: The Gelomira has a quantum stasis field that prevents beings like yourself the ability to chance your biomolecular structure.
Daniel: Uhhgg. This is the second time this has happened to me. Fine. I don't need a spike.
(He then punches for Dowi and the two exchange quick jabs and redirects)
Daniel: Who are you? Why are you trying to exterminate the Earth?
Dowi: A first step in destroying the Federation, of course. We are a small race called Trozonians. We've been traveling from our home planet to here for 248 years now. Now, we've finally made it to Earth.
Daniel: What? If you're from so far away, how did you even know about the Federation?
Dowi: From our ancient, holy scriptures, nearly 6000 years old. According to them, in the future, the Federation will eventually take over Trozonia.

Gonda: Take your invasion of the Chin'toka system, for example. True evidence. Pure example of boisterous conquest. Humans are a conquering race.
Daniel: You want a widespread force of civilization takers? The Borg would more fit that collocation.
Dowi: According to our scriptures, the Borg will be eventually destroyed. As for the Federation, they are known to conquest through the veil of peace. We have to destroy all humankind because humans are far more evil.
(On the Phoenix-X, Bridge)
Armond: Is everyone okay? I hope nobody is hurt.
#Tong: Aye, sir. There are a lot of survivors. None of the survivors are sick.
Gotens: Perhaps the previous lower level gas attack wasn't enough to effect anyone.
Wallace: The Gelomira just emitted a new gaseous attack akin to Biosafety level 3 on the pathogen scale. They've penetrated our shields.
(The Bridge starts filling up with a green gas)
Kayl: I'm scanning the gas.
Gotens: Find a way to neutralize it!
Kayl: It seems to have a pinpointed frequency pulse. That's weird. Like, its effects are meant to be targeted?

Gotens: What's going on? You have your environmental suits on??
Red: Although I am a Klingon, I will hesitantly assist in any way I can.

Don: Aaaaahhhhh!
(In Transporter Room 3)
Holo: Hmm. I haven't even transported one human and Starfleet has a ton of them.
(On the Gelomria)
Dowi: All your humans will go under two hours of excruciating pain before it really starts killing them. Hahahaaa!
Daniel: You sick, son of a—
Dowi: Uh, uh, uh. You're supposed to represent your benevolent Federation of encompassers, aren't you? Targeting specific species for extermination is our most time-honored, ethical practice.
(Daniel tackles Dowi to the floor and starts fighting him)
(On the Phoenix-X, Engineering. The human officers are cringing and crying in pain)
Kugo: It seems to only affect humans.
Maxy: Aaaaaa!
Holo: Hmm. I haven't even transported one human and Starfleet has a ton of them.

Red: Oh, thank the gods we killed.
(They then notice Captain Iviok of the U.S.S. Jenova enter)
(They then notice Captain Iviok of the U.S.S. Jenova enter)
Gotens: Captain?
Iviok: Commander.
Gotens: Red and I have helmsmenally determined that some distance from the Gelomira may ease the humans on our ship. I want you to take the Phoenix-X away from here after my team and I transport to the enemy vessel.
Iviok: Harumph! Transport?
Gotens: Yup.
Iviok: Commander.

Iviok: Harumph! Transport?
Gotens: Yup.
#Kugo: Kugo to Bridge. After some study, the EMH and I may have a method of eradicating the bio infection from the ship and humans by modifying the electromagnetic properties that emanate from the cloaking device.
Gotens: I knew that illegal thing would come in handy! Get to work. In the meantime, I want Red, BOB and Ensign Dan with me.
BOB: What!? I'm a pacifist Ferengi.
Gotens: Well, do a dance, tell a story, I don’t care. Iviok, drop shields on my mark.
(On the Gelomria, both Captain fight hand-to-hand combat)
Daniel: What's wrong? No physical violence in your ancient culture?
Gotens: Well, do a dance, tell a story, I don’t care. Iviok, drop shields on my mark.
(On the Gelomria, both Captain fight hand-to-hand combat)
Daniel: What's wrong? No physical violence in your ancient culture?
(The other Captain kicks Daniel off)
Dowi: On the contrary. Our ancestors used to train with Jem'Hadar. We pass the experience on through our genes.
Dowi: On the contrary. Our ancestors used to train with Jem'Hadar. We pass the experience on through our genes.
Daniel: Knowledge transference through generations? Actually impressive.
(The away team of Gotens, Ensign Dan, BOB, Red and Holo beams aboard without environmental suits)
Red: It seems your shields are not blockable to incoming Starfleet standard transporters.
Dowi: Whatever! I can simply fill this room with a Bio Level Mini that will make your insides curl. Even the Changeling would involuntarily form its own stomach for curling purposes.
Gotens: I'm willing to bet that would mean going through the trouble of configuring it for Trill, Bajorans, Ferengi, Klingons and more. This is not any ordinary biological weapon. It has species-defined frequencies.
Dowi: Heh. Heh. Hehhhh. Yes! We are geniuses of propagative power!
(He gets to work with his unarmed crew)
Gotens: So, your weakness is that it takes a long time for you guys to do things? I'm guessing I'll shoot you first.

Iviok: Computer, set a course for Starbase 55. Maximum warp. Engage.
(The ship goes to warp)
Armond: Ugggghh. God, help me. My everythinggggg!
Kugo: Captain, I believe we have found a way to neutralize the element through the EMH. His auto-decodification of Kayl’s data allows us to finesse the cloaking device in a way that will neutralize the Bio Level 3 effects.

EMH: It's automated, so I just stand here.
(On the Gelomria, the Bridge crew is phasered unconscious but suddenly replaced by more crew)
Gotens: What the—?? You look just like them!
Diwi: Anytime anyone is neutralized, the next generation takes over.
Daniel: Can you at least explain how the Federation ended up in your scriptures 6000 years ago?
Daniel: Can you at least explain how the Federation ended up in your scriptures 6000 years ago?
Ginda: Despite our long-term memories, the literary suture of parables, predictions and commandments have escaped our linear tapestry but levelled no meaning less than their divine petitions.
Daniel: So, you just believe stuff because the documentation exists??
Gotens (aims): I'm just going to shoot the new ones. Your turn for pain.
Diwi: Hahaha! Maybe I can't infect you, but I can do this.
(He presses a button on the control panel and Daniel is suddenly beamed off the ship)
Gotens (phasers): Noooooo!
Gotens (phasers): Noooooo!
(Diwi is sent to the floor. Red fires on Tiwa, knocking her out as well)
BOB: Well, looks like the tables have turned. Perhaps we should have not believed in taking our time?
Ginda: I don't think so. That can be faith-tested.
(He presses a button)
#Computer: Judgment Launch Countdown for 10 minutes. Setting: Bio Level 4.
(In space, outside the ship)
Daniel: I hope they know I am outside here. Just floating. Good thing I don't have to breathe. Now, what can I change into to get back to that ship? Daniel to Away Team. You’re lucky we configured my voice to travel through comms in the vacuum of space.

(On the Gelomria, Ensign Dan fires on Ginda, knocking him down)
Gotens: What the hell, man? He’s the only one who could’ve stopped the countdown. You’re relieved!
Ensign Dan: Uh! And on an away mission too?
Gotens: BOB, see if you can beam the Captain back. Red, by my calculations, the crew should be good now. Reach out to the Phoenix-X and get them to return for us. As for this vessel, it looks like the Tactical Module is separate from the Environmental Superstructure where everyone lives. Ensign Dan, you are unrelieved. Make yourself useful and release a neurozine gas throughout the ship, except the Bridge.
BOB: I've got a lock.
Gotens: Then beam him aboard.
BOB: Okay.
(In space)
Daniel: I'll just change into a Melowinan space bird. That's it. I'll just fly to the ship.
(The Captain changes and flies to the ship. He is then beamed to the ship)
(On the Gelomria, the Melowinan bird-Daniel flies into the wall)
Gotens: What in the world? BOB! Explanation.
BOB: None, sir?
(Ensign Dan is laughing. The bird-Daniel gets up and shows his commbadge)
BOB: It seems that the bird is the Captain.
Gotens: I know that now!
#Computer: Countdown, 9 minutes.
Bird-Daniel: Commander, report.
Gotens: One of the Trozonians activated a slow launch Bio Level 4: Their doomsday attack. The other aliens aboard are sleeping because of the neurozine gas we released. I hope.
Ensign Dan: Do not underestimate me.
Gotens: I sent the Phoenix-X away and now it should be on its way back.
Bird-Daniel: One of those?? Ugh. Can you access navigation control?
Gotens: I tried that myself. The controls are inaccessable to non-Trozonians.
(On the Phoenix-X)
#Computer: Incoming message from enemy vessel.
Iviok: Who said that? Oh, right. These new systems, these days. They control everything. Computer, put it through.
#Red: Captain Iviok. You must return to us at once or, in 5 minutes, we will all die without honor.
#Computer: Message has ended.
Iviok: Computer, if we turn back now, how long would it take to get back at maximum warp?
#Computer: One hour.
Iviok: We don't have one hour. Solutions?
#Computer: Recommended alternative method: transwarp.
Iviok: What? That's a thing?
#Computer: Only the officials of Phoenix-X with Level 10 clearance may access that information.
Iviok: Well, if you think that works. Plot a return course and engage transwarp? I guess?
(The ship goes transwarp)
(On the Gelomria)
Red: The Phoenix-X has arrived.
Daniel: Great. Beam us all back to the ship.
(Everyone is beamed over)
(On the Phoenix-X, Bridge)
Daniel: Who do you think you are taking command of my ship? Your militaristic Andorian demeanour has no place in a tactical situation.
Iviok: That's exactly where those things belong! The Federation benefits on the strengths of diverse species.
Daniel: Something the Trozonian blitzkrieg fails to contend. You got here just in time, Iviok. How'd you like the ship?
Iviok: Let's just say it was an interesting ride.Daniel: Kayl, transport all enemy Bridge crew to the Brig.
Kayl: Aye, Captain.
Gotens: Additionally, we're unable to effect the Bio Level 4 countdown. Stopping it is not possible.
Daniel: Armond, can we destroy the ship from here?
Armond: Unclear. Their hull appears structurally unbreakable by our weapon's standards. But a graviton pulse would trigger the mechanism to separate the Environmental Superstructure. We could then destroy their Tactical Module.
Armond: Unclear. Their hull appears structurally unbreakable by our weapon's standards. But a graviton pulse would trigger the mechanism to separate the Environmental Superstructure. We could then destroy their Tactical Module.
Daniel: Make that so. Wallace, once they're clear I want you to fire everything.
(They watch the Gelomira separate before the Phoenix-X unloads phasers and torpedoes at the unmanned Tactical Module)
Wallace: That confirms we can't.
Daniel: I'm open to solutions.
Gotens: How about if we warp bubble that monstrosity into the Sol star?
Daniel: That would be a great make it so!
Kugo: Activating warp bubble.
(The Phoenix-X struggles to generate a harmonized field next to the Module)
Kugo: Sir, even the front section of the ship is too massive.
Kugo: Activating warp bubble.
(The Phoenix-X struggles to generate a harmonized field next to the Module)
Kugo: Sir, even the front section of the ship is too massive.
Kayl: We're running out of time. Three minutes.
Gotens: That's it! We could split the Phoenix-X into its three vectors and balance the warp field.
Kugo: Yes, that may work.
Daniel: I like that idea. Brilliant. Remind me, Commander, to promote you after all of this. Wait. If I promote you any more, you would be Captain. That would mean my job. Hmm. I'll just get you a coffee.
Gotens (grumbling): Thank you, Captain. You are too kind.
Daniel (taps comm): This is the Captain speaking. We are multi-vector-warping that ship. Everyone to available stations. Out. Computer, initiate separation mode.
#Computer: Please state the target and tactical plan.
Daniel: Manual override. Red, input the coordinates to where the vectors should go and standby.
Red: Done.
(The ship separates into three. The other two vectors fly around the Gelomira and lock tractor beams. They form a flank around it)
Daniel: Kugo, activate fields.
Iviok: Wow. I want one of these. I mean, if one were to want something of said tactical ridiculousness.
(He watches as all four craft, including themselves, are shot into quick warp)
Daniel: Red, plot a course to the sun. Drop warp!
(The split vectors of the Phoenix-X and Gelomria go to the sun)
Daniel: How much more time do we have?
Kayl: Thirty seconds, Captain. If we don't let go of that ship soon, it will fire its weapons and will lead to a warp core breach. That core breach would infect all of us and the Mercury colony.
Daniel: Get ready. When I say mark, we all go to warp. The sun's gravity should do the rest. Good? Mark! All vectors, escape! Engage!
(They disengage when, suddenly, the Gelomria lights up and prepares to fire its Bio Level 4. The Phoenix-X vectors warp out before the gravitationally decaying Gelomria is engulfed in plasma and incinerated)
Daniel: All stop. Report.
Gotens: The module is destroyed. The danger is over.
Daniel: Yes! Bring us back together. Well done, crew.
Iviok: That was the greatest ride, ever.
Gotens: That's it! We could split the Phoenix-X into its three vectors and balance the warp field.
Kugo: Yes, that may work.
