Season 1 - Episode 1

I am renaming the show for the USS Morgana to "Star Trek Convenant". This is the two parter pilot of the series, so I might do two or three trading cards.

This is an alternate universe, different from TNG/DS9 or other Star Trek series. The war with the dominion has not yet happened here, DS9 is there but it's only been nine months since the wormhole was discovered. However the existence of the Dominion and the history of the war from another universe, has found its way to Starfleet intelligence.

Starfleet did not take it seriously until the wormhole was discovered, just as the data had indicated it happened in the alternate universe. But once it did, everyone went crazy with it, trying to come up with a plan to avoid the war. After months of debate, a decision was made and a plan was set in motion to execute it. The USS Morgana is heading to the Founder home world, and they are going to nuke it. The Cardassians are providing a WMD to obliterate all life on the planet, that is why there's a mysterious operative on board the ship.

It might seem insane, but the alternative was hundreds of millions dead, Romulans, Humans, Cardassians, Klingons, Breen, Bajoran, Bolians, Andorians, Vulcans, everyone. Dozens of thousands of ships destroyed, dozens of planets turned into battle fields. When Starfleet high command learned of the attack on Earth by the combined Breen and Dominion forces that took place in the alternate universe, they knew conventional methods were out the window. If the Morgana fails to complete the mission however, there will be no choice but to destroy the wormhole.

...

Upon arrival to the Founder home world, the Morgana remains cloaked. The crew beams down to set up the Cardassian WMD. But surprise, the Cardassian operative betrays them. She intends to expose the plan, and gain the trust of the Founders. That goes badly, Jem'hadar beam down and a fire fight begins. Among the confusion the Cardassian operative is sucked into the great link. So much for Founder hospitality.

The surviving team members manage to escape and beam up to the ship, which remains undetected by the Jem'hadar in orbit. A worst case scenario ensues; Crown has to decide what to do, and all choices seem bad. So he decloaks the ship and rains fire over the great link, killing a very large amount of changelings. Jem'hadar ships attack and bridge consoles begin to explode, sending their operators flying against bulkheads as usual.

All seems lost, and then Seven indicates the singularity core is pumping triolic radiation in all directions and containment is failing. Another worst case scenario. A detonation takes place and the Morgana goes out in a flash of light. And then suddenly, time is reversed back to before Crown decided to decloak the ship. And amazingly everyone retains their memory (yeah, this is sacrilege of time travel mechanics and crap).

So now we have the Jem'hadar aware of the ship's existence, but unable to locate her. And Crown aware of the consequences if he decides to attack the great link again. So he takes a different course of action this time; he decides to ram the ship against the great link. After a bloody fight with the Jem'hadar ships, the Morgana breaks off and dives into the atmosphere. Their course is taking them to the middle of the largest brown sea on the surface. However as they approach the surface, Seven of Nine again announces the core is going crazy pumping triolic radiation. Suddenly, time reverses a second time, to the point before dropping the cloak. Dam it, this is getting annoying.

Retreat is not an option, so Crown orders Seven of Nine to research what the hell is going on. The ship plays hide and seek with the Jem'hadar in orbit while Seven investigates. After a while she explains her theory. They seem to be caught in a time loop. Caused by modified romulan singularity core malfunctioning. The only way to escape, is to stop it before it starts. So Seven rigs the core to send a message to herself in the next loop, further back in time, before they enter the loop.

Several hours before reaching the Founder home world. Seven suddenly notices her implant is feeding her information. Upon further study, she gets the message and proceeds accordingly. She shares the information with Captain Crown, and the Cardassian operative is apprehended. After a gruesome interrogation, the operative admits to be a traitor. The Cardassian WMD can no longer be trusted to work properly, and they will reach the Founder home world in only a few hours. This may be the only chance they have, and Captain Crown has to decide what to do... continue and die in a blaze of glory, with no guarantee of success, posibly dooming the Federation to the same war that ravaged the alternate universe... or abort the mission and survive, dooming them for sure...
