The medical team has not arrived yet, but Dr. Cresent, much to his satisfaction, finds one of the emergency stations and it is already fully stocked. He reaches into his pocket in his pants and pulls out his medical tricorder, making sure that it is fully charged.

All of a sudden the human female on the tactical console announces, "We have an asteroid on collision course, sir."
"Full Phasers, wide disperal beam. Fire."
Within a second, on the main viewscreen, a large orange beam is seen veering over towards the starboard side. It constantly changes positioning, as the tactical officer, is trying to hit any fragments coming towards the ship.
