INT. BRIEFING ROOM, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
A officer is standing in front of the table as Commander Ro studies the PADDs.
CMDR. RO: Take these to Lieutenant Commander James in Main Engineering.
The Ensign takes the PADDs and leaves as Lieutenant Mason walks into the briefing room.
LT. MASON: Phaser upgrades are complete, Commander.
CMDR. RO [surprised]: Already?
LT. MASON [acknowledges]: And we have begun power supply calibration.
CMDR. RO: You're just too damned efficient, Lieutenant...
LT. MASON: Thank you Commander.
Commander Ro leans on one of the chairs.
CMDR. RO: At this rate, the refit will be done a week early and you and I might even be forced to get in some R&R before we leave Earth.
LT. MASON: I don't have any plans except for taking Courtney out on a date but that's going to be later.
Commander Ro picks up a PADD.
CMDR. RO: Proceed with the testing, Mister Mason...(hands him a PADD) Here's the final schedule for shore leave and personnel transfers. By the way, I'm looking forward to meeting your parents.
LT. MASON [confused]: Commander?
CMDR. RO: They're on the visitors' list.
Jack looks over the PADD, finds their names... it's a surprise and not a pleasant one.
CMDR. RO: You didn't know?
LT. MASON [sighs]: I wasn't expecting to see them so soon.
CMDR. RO: If you don't want to see your parents, that's your business, but we don't get to Earth all that often. I'm sure we can arrange for you to have more off duty time while they're here. 
LT. MASON: Very well.
CMDR. RO: Dismissed Lieutenant.
Lieutenant Mason leaves as Commander Ro looks on.

LT. SITO: Okay. How's Jamie recovering?
DR. LANGFORD: I released her to her quarters.
LT. SITO: That's good.
They continue walking.

Chief Mackenzie is working on the console as Jack ENTERS.
LT. MASON: They still have not signaled?
CHIEF MACKENZIE: No, sir.
LT. MASON [sighs]: My mother is never on time.
CHIEF MACKENZIE: Well, you know mothers they always want to make sure that they don't leave without adding extra makeup.
Jack paces about.
LT. MASON: I am not looking forward to this... I wish they would come so it would begin and end sooner.
CHIEF MACKENZIE: I know what you mean.
LT. MASON: Hardly Chief.
CHIEF MACKENZIE: Last time my old man came on board I found him chasing Nurse Takahashi around a bio-bed in Sickbay...
LT. MASON: Well, I don't have to worry about my old man chasing women.
FEMALE'S COM VOICE: Enterprise, this is Earth Station Bobruisk. Two to transport aboard
CHIEF MACKENZIE [to com]: Acknowledged, Bobruisk. Energizing.
MARY AND BILLY MASON MATERIALIZE on the platform. Billy Mason is compact, barrel-chested... a retired Starfleet Chief growing old gracefully. His wife is short of stature and yet
there is an underlying strength to her which belies her slight appearance.
JACK [smiles]: Hello...mother, father.
MARY [smiles]: Jack.
Mary beams and unabashedly hugs him and reaches up to kiss his cheek...Jack stiffens, glances at Kayla out of the corner of his eye... reluctantly leans down to accept the kiss...
BILLY: You look good, son.
They shake hands.
BILLY: Put on a little weight, didn't you?
JACK: No.
BILLY: I'm sure you been pushing yourself a lot haven't you?
JACK: Somewhat, where's Derek?
MARY: He's currently on a mission aboard the U.S.S. Norway.
JACK: Let me take you to...
Billy is already moving to Kayla... friendly, outgoing --
BILLY [smiles]: Always good to meet another chief petty officer. (sticks out hand) Billy Mason, formerly of the U.S.S. Galaxy.
CHIEF MACKENZIE: Kayla Mackenzie good to meet you sir.
BILLY: Don't call me sir, I use to work for a living.
JACK: I'll show you to your quarters.
MARY: Come on, Billy... there's plenty of time to chat with the "boys"... (to Jack) Your father's so been looking forward to this...
She intimately takes Jack's arm in hers... he stiffens. Exiting...
BILLY: Yes, I want to see everything. The whole ship. At home I have all the specs and diagrams of the Sovereign-class starships.
JACK: We are in the midst of a repair. I can't give you a complete tour.
BILLY: Shame.
They leave the transporter room.
INT. OFFICER'S MESS, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
The crew are enjoying their shore leave.
JAMIE: I've never seen a Sovereign-class vessel's officer mess before.
JOHN: This is where Admiral Picard made first contact with Regent Cuzar.
KYLE: Interesting.
Kyle drinks his scotch.
JAMIE: Let's hope that no one else encounters the filament.
JESSICA: Same here.
Jamie turns to John.
JOHN: So were you able to speak with Sarah any?
John looks over at her.
JOHN [sighs]: No, she's not wanting to talk to me due to me and her mother having issues still.
Kyle looks over at John.
KYLE: She'll come around John.
JOHN [sighs]: I hope so.
John gets up and leaves as Jessica's worried about him.

Doors opened and her mother M'Lok enters.
T'MIR: Mother its good to see you again.
M'LOK [smiles]: You to T'Mir.
They sit down and she pours a glass of Romulan Ale for her and her mother.
M'LOK: Thank you.
She drinks it.
M'LOK: I thought this was banned throughout the Federation?
T'MIR: It is but I was able to ask the Captain for some bottles of it.
M'LOK: I read your letter about your father I knew that he was in trouble but had no idea that T'Lok your own brother would betray him like that.
T'Mir thinking about to that heartbreaking moment of her father accepting his fate and taking it like a true Romulan soldier willing to die for the Star Empire.
T'MIR; Father always was wanting to go down in battle with a Federation Starship just wish it wasn't the Enterprise.
M'Lok pats her daughter's shoulder.
INT. MAIN ENGINEERING, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Several panels are open, some boxes sitting around...this is a ship undergoing a major refit and it's a bit of a mess right now.
Jack stands uncomfortably as his father tells a story to an enthralled Courtney...
BILLY: ... So we walk into the school...and we don't know what to expect. Is our boys hurt? are they in some kind of trouble? The door opens and we see our little seven and six year-old boys... sitting in a chair...and glaring across the room at five teenage boys. (beat) All of them with bloody noses.
Courtney laughs.
MARY: And then the principal looked up and said, please tell me its just them.
JACK: Well they were disrespect to Derek.
BILLY: And that was only the beginning...when he was ten...
JACK: I believe we've taken up enough of my wife's time.
COURTNEY: No, no, no, we're way ahead of schedule here.
BILLY: just wanted to tell him the story about 
MARY: Enough stories, Bill. 
BILLY: Okay. Okay. Enough stories. Well, how about giving us a look at the new engine core. I used to be a warp field specialist on the early Galaxy-class U.S.S. Galaxy when she was first launched.
COURTNEY: I'd be delighted. Mrs. Mason? 
MARY: No, no, no, no, no. You two go ahead. Your father will be hours. Jack, why don't you show me the arboretum?
JACK: Sure mom, Courtney , call me when you, when my father wishes to leave. 
BILLY: I can find my own way. Turbo-lift four is just over there, right? I have all the specs and designs at home.
Jack and his mother EXIT...
LTCMDR. JAMES: The theta-matrix compositer makes the recrystallization process ten times more efficient than the Galaxy-class ships.
BILLY: Amazing. Commander, if you have a couple of minutes, there is something else I want to ask you.
LTCMDR. JAMES: Sure chief.
BILLY: It's about my son.

Jessica turns over and sees that the right side of the bed is empty and she sits up to see John at his desk.
JOHN: Sarah, please let's talk we've not talked since the Polaris incident.
SARAH [monitor]: What is there to talk the fact that you left mom or the fact that you couldn't speak to her face to face when you found out about her cheating on you?
JOHN: Sarah, I had to walk out of there because I didn't want to cause a diplomatic incident that would cause the Andorians to leave the Federation.
She scoffs and ends the transmission and John sits there shocked and awe at how his daughter is taking this whole issue, Jessica walks over to him.
JESSICA: She still not willing to listen?
JOHN [sighs]: Nope not really.
She looks at him.
JESSICA: As Kyle said you've got to give her time.

BRIANNA [smiles]: I won't say anything if you do me a small favor. 
JOHN: Sure, Brie.
She shows him a data chip.
BRIANNA: My senior officer candidates. I'd like to get your opinion. You've served with a few of them.
JOHN: You got it.
She hands him the data chip, as John refers to the Captain's chair.
JOHN: You might want to talk to someone about installing a lumbar support. You're going to spend a lot of hours in that chair.
He walks over to tactical and checks the read out.
BRIANNA: We've improved the deflectors by twelve percent. We'll be able to hang in a firefight a little longer.
JOHN [amazed]: Ventral and dorsal torpedo launchers, forward and aft phasers.
BRIANNA: Upgrades you recommended.
John looks around as Brianna looks at her brother.
BRIANNA: What is it?
John turns to her.
JOHN: I had an argument once with Captain Jefferies. He was one of the designers of the Sovereign-Class.
BRIANNA: I'm aware of that. 
JOHN: I told him I didn't want to be in command of a warship trying to make first contact with new species. Jefferies was right. We needed those weapons, and a hell of a lot more.

MARY: We just came to tuck you in.
Jack understands that they're not being literal...it's a way of saying "we care." Jack studies his parents, and drops his eyes as he feels more emotion than he'd care to admit.
JACK: When I heard you were on the visitors' list, I was... not sure I wanted you to come.
(he looks up) I am glad you are here.
