CAPT. BRANSON [smiles]: Chris, what can I do for you?
FLT CAPT. PIKE [monitor]: John, what can you tell me about the Caernarvon System?
CAPT. BRANSON: Caernarvon IV possessed a moderately large, for a frontier outpost, civilian population comprised heavily of scientists, some of whom were engaged in research potentially sensitive to Federation interests.
FLT CAPT. PIKE [monitor]: Exactly, we've got a Starbase there that is in of an evaluation on its defensive capabilities should the Klingons decide to go to war with the Federation again
CAPT. BRANSON: And if its not up to par?
FLT CAPT. PIKE [monitor]: Evacuate the base and the research outpost if you feel like you can take on the Klingons you can engage them but if you get overrun get out of there
CAPT. BRANSON: What kind of back can we expect?
FLT CAPT. PIKE [monitor]: I'll try to get some ships to your position to help with the evacuation
CAPT. BRANSON: We'll get it done Chris.

INT-STARBASE CAERNARVON, COMMODORE WILSON'S OFFICE
Commodore Wilson's office has the vibe of Starbase 11 from the "TOS Season 1 Episode: Court Martial" but is in space, as Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova are both reviewing the readiness report that Commodore Wilson is going to send to Starfleet Command.
COMM. WILSON: As you can see Captain we're ready for anything those barbarians can throw at us.
Captain Branson looks up from the PADD.
CAPT. BRANSON: This readiness report is unacceptable.
He puts the PADD down.
COMM. WILSON [confused]: What are you talking about?
CAPT. BRANSON: Your base is a decade old and their defenses are old as dinosaurs and you only have two Starships a Class-J cargo Hauler & a Miranda-Class Destroyer, that's not the best for a future attack by the Klingons.
Commodore Wilson looks at him.
COMM. WILSON [annoyed]: What do you know you're just the son of Admiral Branson.
CAPT. BRANSON: I've been in battle with the Klingons and they don't play around sir.
COMM. WILSON [annoyed]: There's no way that the Klingons would attack the Federation.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Sir no offense but they're not messing around.
COMM. WILSON [annoyed]: Huh they're not going to attack this base good day.
Both Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova leaves his office.

Then T'Lar reports. 
LTJG. T'LAR: Captain, sensors are detecting a vessel at the extreme edge of our sensor scans. 
Captain Branson turns to her. 
CAPT. BRANSON: What can you make of it? 
Lieutenant T'Lar works on her console. 
LTJG. T'LAR: It appears to be a Klingon recon vessel. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Let's see it. 
[Transparent viewer enhances the image and shows the recon vessel from a distance.] 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: They must know that we can detect them. 
[Captain Branson walks to the viewer.] 
CAPT. BRANSON: Are they aware of us?
LTJG. T'LAR: Negative sir.
CAPT. BRANSON: Julia open a channel to the recon vessel on subspace bands.
LTJG. SMITH: Channel opened sir.
CAPT. BRANSON (to com): Attention Klingon vessel this Captain John Branson of the Federation Starship USS Enterprise, shut down your engines and prepare to be boarded. 
LTJG. SMITH: No response sir. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Guess they don't want to get caught. 
[Then a bright flash as they turn to see that the vessel self-destructed.] 
LTJG. T'LAR: They must of triggered their self-destruct sequence.

John leans back in the chair.
Z: John, that wasn't right what Starfleet did to him and now they're going to bury it forever.
JOHN [sighs]: I know Z but if we can't help him then who will we're the only people who knows what happened at Wey'tahn.
Z: If only there was a way we could get the information on the sensor data before the incident T'Lar detected a slight EM field but couldn't get a good read on it.
