I've got the first draft of First Contact script, if that's what you're referring to, Kyle. A very interesting, very different, probably inferior film.
(NB: This exact draft of the script may have been titled "Star Trek: Future Generations" and not picked up the "Star Trek: Resurrection" moniker until later. Resurrection got shelved by the end of 1995 to avoid conflicting with the Alien 4 title.)

That's the script I have, too.
I just emailed them to MinutaeMan, so for now it's up to him when we get to see them.
And Mim, here are the requested lines from TVH:
26 EXT. SPACE DOCK - ILM 26
The great rotating satellite, home of grand Spaceships.
27 INT. SPACE DOCK - CONTROL BOOTH, OVERLOOKING SPACE CRAFT 27
TWO CONTROLLERS, back to us, sit in the control seats. They control several Starships in b.g.
CONTROLLER ONE Excelsior and Intrepid are cleared to depart. Open space dock doors.
Over this, the SOUND OF THE PROBE'S SIGNAL is heard. Almost immediately, Controller Two is in big trouble.
CONTROLLER TWO Sir! Space dock doors are inoperative!
CONTROLLER ONE Keep trying. (then) Excelsior and Intrepid stand by! Malfunction on exit doors.
INTREPID VOICE Control, Intrepid. Never mind. We can't get powered up!
The Two Controllers look at each other as the SOUND OF the Probe's GIBBERISH comes in at DEAFENING VOLUME.
CONTROLLER TWO Space doors not responding. All Emergency systems are non- functional.
All over Space dock, lights are dimming.
CONTROLLER ONE Engage reserve power. Starfleet Command, this is Space dock on emergency channel. We have lost all internal power. Repeat, we have lost all power!...
And here's the second one:
STAR TREK IV : THE VOYAGE HOME APPENDIX A.
N.D. STARSHIP DIALOGUE
(as it appears in Scene 42)
VERSION 1 Starfleet command, this is Captain Joel Randolph of the starship Yorktown reporting. Emergency channel Zero-one-three-zero, code red. It has been three hours since our contact with the alien probe and all attempts at regaining power have failed. All non-essential crew have been given hiber-sedatives to slow down consumption of life support reserves. Our chief engineer is attempting to deploy a makeshift solar sail with which to focus and absorb radiation from a nearby sun we are orbiting. We have high hopes that this will, if successful, generate power to keep us alive indefinitely. If you would patch us through to Engineering Control we could link up with the technicians there and hopefully lick this problem. We will keep you posted on our condition. Starfleet, and inform you of any further developments. Captain Randolph out.
VERSION 2 Starfleet Command, this is communications officer Trillya of the U.S.S. Shepard reporting on emergency status code zero one nine five. Our condition remains the same, the probe has neutralized all power supplies and we are functioning on reserves only. All attempts to reinstate main power have failed. Captain Clampett has quarantined all but minimal support crew due to failure of Bio- Sterilization capsules containing Vegan D virus, which has already killed fifteen crew members. All aboard are believed to be infected. Atmospheric regeneration and reclamation systems are not functional, and all medical supplies are spoiling due to refrigeration shut down. At present condition life support systems will be exhausted within eight hours. Starfleet, please advise...?
That's it for now...

Hmm, now this is odd.
I tried to send them to you, MinutaeMan, but everytime it tells me I have exeeded the maximal size for your mailbox.
I'll send them to you in two-packs, maybe that works. Just wanted to let you know.

So I take it the Intrepid is the second Connie in SD we see at the end of the movie?

Could be that ship. Did you ever notice that there have to be at least two ships with constitution-nacelles? First, they fly over some nacelle that seems to be part of a constitution, crossing them, and in the next shot, they pass some other nacelles in flight direction.
I thought about that last night. Maybe the Intrepid is the Miranda docked in SD? We know the original ship was lost in TOS, so maybe her successor was a Miranda? Later the Excelsior, then the Intrepid-class. That came to my mind when I thought about that scene; we see a shot of SD with those two ships (Excelsior and unknown Miranda), even see the dock officers tower thing for a short moment. With the right cutting, you get the impression those guys told the two ships to leave the dock immediately when power was deactivated.).
What do you think?
