Just thought I'd share (but read this ONLY if you want major spoilage):

Spoiler I've decided to move ahead with the production of a third film when Retribution is done. The third installment, tentatively to be titled "Redemption," will center around the restoration of the Prime timeline and the ultimate elimination of the evil version of Braiyon Garr forever. Retribution will end on a cliffhanger; with the USS Fitzgerald and its allies unable to best the ISS Voyager in battle. With the dark ship attacking Captain Prentice's fleeing shuttlecraft, first officer Kendra Ronston makes the decision to physically ram the duplicate vessel, sending it into the gravity well of the black hole. As it spirals down to its doom, all Federation and Romulan forces retreat, only to be buffeted by a massive temporal explosion. When it's over, there is no trace of the ISS Voyager or of Drakus, and the Romulans have all stopped firing at the Starfleet ships. Losses on both sides are heavy, but Starfleet agrees to lend aid to the Romulans to bring their civil war at last to an end. Meanwhile, when Captain Prentice returns to the damaged Fitzgerald, he discovers two surprises waiting for him: Gaius Reyf has apparently been dead for four years instead of mere minutes, and more shocking, his chief science officer is none other than Braiyon Garr. As the film ends, the real Kristie visits the Fitzgerald while it undergoes repairs, having been summoned by a Starfleet communique four days prior, a message bearing the initials "GSR." At first Garr is reluctant to even speak with her, knowing thanks to Captain Prentice what took place because of her in the alternate timeline. She quotes the message as saying "your future hasn't been written yet, no one's has; so make it a good one, both of you," and when she identifies the sender as Gaius Reyf, Garr realizes that he and she are both different people from the ones Prentice knew in the alternate history. With that, he agrees to dinner with her in Ten Forward. The film's epilogue returns us to Sector 585, where the last of the Starfleet and Romulan ships have retreated. The camera pulls in close to the mouth of the black hole, where a single shuttlecraft decloaks. Badly damaged, the camera takes us inside, where we see Drakus fuming at his defeat, and vowing revenge against those who caused his downfall, commenting that "This time, I'm not alone!" The camera pans over his shoulder, where we see a second pair of glowing red eyes in the darkness of the shuttle interior. A figure steps forward, revealed to be none other than Gaius Reyf, sporting the same dark blue uniform Garr is wearing. In the same chilling and supernatural voice as Drakus used through most of the film, the admiral says only one word: "Indeed." The third film picks up ten years later, in 2399, less than one week before the start of the 25th century. The USS F Scott Fitzgerald--now under the command of Captain Kendra Ronston--is visiting a distant planet and had just bid farewell to the delegation, when suddenly disaster strikes: a portion of the planet seems to simply disappear, and then reappears just as quickly, turning the entire world into a seething volcanic wasteland in mere minutes. The crew fears some form of natural disaster, until sensors reveal the truth: the planet was caught in a time distortion of unimaginable power, and it's not alone--hundreds more litter space within sensor range. Contacting Starfleet, Admiral Thornton tells them that space-time across the entire Federation has been "shattered" somehow, turning it into a nightmare of different time zones intersecting with the present. Ronston immediately tracks the distortions to their source, an underground laboratory on a deserted planet that was the former home of Dr. Ira Graves. Transporting to the surface, they find a laboratory in ruins, and energy signatures which suggest the cause was the detonation of an Omega molecule, though the particle itself is nowhere in sight. Immediately, they are greeted by a fresh surprise: Admiral Bradley Prentice is already there, with Dr. Braiyon Garr in tow. As they examine the wreckage, Garr theorizes that the detonation was not accidental, and that it was done deliberately to harness the energy release. Prentice then provides the connection: Drakus is back and out for blood, and used the energy released by the explosion to propel himself back in time. Although this version of Dr. Garr lacks much of the expertise of his counterpart with regards to time, he knows enough to know that the damage can only be corrected in the past, and for that they need help from the only mind with the needed expertise: his alternate self. To do so, Prentice says they will have to undertake a risky procedure that involves using boronite ore (recently discovered on a planet in the Badlands) to power the warp engines. Ronston balks at first, but then relents when the others convince her that there is no alternative. After reuniting with their old crewmates and finding a stretch of undamaged space large enough for them to use as a departure point, the Fitzgerald successfully arrives twenty years prior, in the year 2378, on the same day Braiyon Garr attacked the Alcawell Mineral Refinery. They manage to arrive at the station ahead of him, slipping aboard in the confusion as Garr forced its crew to evacuate, intercept him as he boards the station, and are able to convince him to lend his assistance, thanks in part to Prentice's observations of the Garr hologram in the previous film. I still have to flesh out the plot from there, but that's the preliminary storyline I've come up with. Sorry to dash hopes, but the three-nacelle version of the Galaxy class will continue to portray the USS Fitzgerald for this outing.
