INT. STARSHIP BRIDGE
Dimmed lighting. Alert klaxons. Vague wisps of smoke. Shorted consoles.
Establishing shot of crew scattered around the bridge. Present are DEVEREUX, HOPE, PYRAFOX, HAWKES, and a few others. They all seem shaken, most have managed to maintain their seats. None are more than superficially injured.
Medium shot of Devereux pulling herself upright, clutching at the edge of her command station.
Devereux steps down from the command deck to the navigational stations. PYRAFOX does not turn as she approaches.
We can see from the back of his head that Pyrafox is not human. Short, brown-red fur covers his head and wolf-like ears are visible. From the side, short fangs are definitely visible. He also possesses a large wolf-like muzzle.
Devereux turns to face the stations on the other side of the bridge.
Medium shot of HOPE'S FURY (nicknamed "Hope" for short) as she checks displays. She is clearly alien, but reasonably humanoid in appearance.
Devereux nods, meeting Hope's alien eyes for a moment, and then returns to the command deck.
Medium shot of Devereux on command deck with Hope in close background.
The lights brighten to normal illumination. Devereux looks around quickly, a sense of growing relief evident on her features. She nods to Hope.
Hope responds with a slight nod.
Hope exits the bridge.
Devereux looks down and works a control on her console.
Wide shot of the main viewscreens from Devereux's POV. They show a starfield.
Devereux gives him a quick smile.
Devereux looks back at the starfield on the display. Medium shot as she frowns slightly.

DEVEREUX
(shouting over the noise)
What the hell happened?
RUSTY'S COMM VOICE
One moment, Captain. We're still trying to figure it out.

PYRAFOX
We'rre where we'rrre supposed to be, Captain. (pauses, working controls) Standarrrd propulsion systems arrre all worrrking, but the slipstrrream drrrive seems to be offline.

(with utter calm)
Life support and environment systems function normally.

DEVEREUX
(into intercom, sounding mildly impatient)
Chief, I'd like that report now.
RUSTY'S COMM VOICE
All the main systems are working as expected. (long beat) But the slipstream drive is shot, Captain.
DEVEREUX
(tightly calm)
What the hell happened?
RUSTY'S COMM VOICE
(sounding rushed and distracted)
I don't know yet. We're still trying to figure it out.
DEVEREUX
(with a quiet sigh)
Okay. Let me know as soon as you find out something.
RUSTY'S COMM VOICE
(obediently, but with a hint of sarcasm)
Of course, Captain.

Go. It looks like we have things under control here.

Yes, Captain.
Yes, Captain.
Hope exits the bridge.
Devereux looks down and works a control on her console.
DEVEREUX
Okay, then. Let's at least find out where we are.

Ensign, what's our position?
PYRAFOX
Worrrking on it now, Captain. (checks console displays) Many systems arrre still malfunctioning orrr offline, Captain. Coorrrdination is difficult.
