Klaxons are blaring.
CAPT. BRANSON: Damage report?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: We've got a plasma vent leak in the port nacelle we're attempting to close.
CAPT. BRANSON: Is the distress call still going on?
LT. SMITH: Yes, sir.
Then T'Lar reports.
LTCMDR. T'LAR: Captain sensors are detecting two Klingon D5-Class warships dropping out of warp.
CAPT. BRANSON: Let's see them.
Transparent viewer shows the two Klingon warships approaching the Enterprise.
LT. MASON: They'll be in weapons range in twenty-two seconds.
CMDR. IVANOVA: And we're sitting ducks.
CAPT. BRANSON: Deflectors?
LT. MASON: Shields are at twenty-five percent.
CAPT. BRANSON: Weapons?
LT. MASON: Our entire tactical array is off-line.
CMDR. IVANOVA: What do we do now Captain?
CAPT. BRANSON: Now we find something to hang onto.
And as the crew braces themselves for an attack --

Captain Branson turns to T'Lar.
CAPT. BRANSON: T'Lar anymore Klingon ships out there?
LTCMDR. T'LAR: No sir nothing on long or short range sensors.
Captain Branson goes to the Captain's chair and activates the ships intercom.
CAPT. BRANSON [to com]: This is the captain speaking. All hands, stand down. Good job, people.
Lights brighten up as Lieutenant Smith turns and reports.
LT. SMITH [smiles]: Captain we're being hailed by the Yorktown its Captain Smith.
CAPT. BRANSON: On screen.
Transparent viewer changes to the image of the Yorktown bridge and Captain Smith.
CAPT. BRANSON [smiles]: Thanks for the save.
CAPT. SMITH [viewer]: Well done, captain. You were a very effective decoy
CAPT. BRANSON: How about next time I save you?
Then Lieutenant Smith turns and reports.
LT. SMITH: You may have to wait awhile, captain. We've just received orders from Starfleet Command. All ships in this sector are to fall back to the 11th battlegroup.
CAPT. BRANSON [frustrated]: Fall back again?
Any sense of victory the Enterprise crew might have felt at destroying the two Klingon ships is rapidly fading away.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON [an old refrain]: Engage and retreat. Engage and retreat. I'm telling you, that's become our favorite tune.
DR. CARLSON: Well, we'd better learn a new one or the next song we'll be singing is "Hail the Conquering Klingons."
CAPT. BRANSON [determined]: I wouldn't start learning those lyrics just yet, Doctor. [to the viewscreen] Jess, we'll see you at the 11th battlegroup.
CAPT. SMITH [viewer]: I'll be waiting
The image of Jessica on the viewscreen disappears. Branson quickly taps his command console.
CAPT. BRANSON (snapping an order to Lieutenant Carlson): Set a course for these coordinates. Warp seven.
LT. CARLSON; Aye, sir.

The doors whooshed open as an angry Branson confronts Kirk.
CAPT. BRANSON [frustrated]: I don't know what all you brass hats in Starfleet Command are thinking, but take it from a simple field officer, we're not going to win this war by running away from the enemy.
Pike chooses to remain silent, allowing Branson to continue to vent.
CAPT. BRANSON: Jim -- troop morale is at an all-time low. Even the Andorians, Vulcans, and Tellarites are starting to wonder if we can defeat the Klingons. We need a victory -- a big victory. And we need it soon!
ADM. KIRK: I couldn't agree with you more.
CAPT. BRANSON [pounding his fist on his desk]: Then do something about it.
ADM. KIRKI have.
This catches Branson somewhat flat-footed; he looks at Pike expectantly.
ADM. KIRK: In fact, I'm presenting a plan to Starfleet Command at oh-eight-hundred, tomorrow.
Branson crosses his arms.
CAPT. BRANSON: What plan?
Kirk leads John over to the wall screen and it shows the Archanis System.
ADM. KIRK: We're going to retake the Archanis System.
Captain Branson breaks into a smile -- this is what he was hoping to hear, and we:

JOHN [surprised]: Kyle? You look like hell?
KYLE [drunken state]: I-I'm fine John *hiccup* I-I just had something to drink.
JOHN: Kyle, we've got a battle to get to in a few hours from now I need you level headed.
KYLE [drunken state]: A-A war that shouldn't be happening w-we aren't warriors we-we're explorers.
JOHN: Kyle, I know how you feel about what happened to Marianna it wasn't your fault.
KYLE [drunken state, frustrated]: Y-Yes it was m-my fault I was the ranking officer and she didn't listen to me.
Then Kyle falls to the floor as John rushes over to him.

LTCMDR. CLARKSON: My head feels like I was stuck in a plasma conduit.
NURSE CHAPEL: We had to detoxic you.
Kyle slowly sits up as Chapel helps him.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: Did I do anything stupid?
DR. CARLSON: Nope just ranted to the Captain about failing Commander Taru.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: Where is he?
NURSE CHAPEL: He's currently onboard the Federation discussing the plan to retake Archanis.

INT-U.S.S. FEDERATION CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
Captain Branson is conducting the briefing as Admiral Kirk is there along with Vice Admiral Katrina Cornwell, Rear Admiral Maria Branson, and Vice Admiral Terral are at the table.
CAPT. BRANSON: By putting together a task force comprised of elements from the Second, Fifth and Ninth fleets, I believe that we can retake the Archanis system.
VICE ADM. TERRAL: Your plan, Captain Branson, is not without merit. However, I remain skeptical. The Klingons will undoubtedly send a large fleet to stop you.
CAPT. BRANSON: And it will divert their forces and slow their advance into Federation territory.
ADM. KIRK: As well as leave their flank vulnerable.
CAPT. BRANSON: Which will give us a chance to be on the offensive for a change. 
REAR ADM. BRANSON: There's one thing that still concerns me...
ADM. KIRK: What's that Admiral?
REAR ADM. BRANSON: Earth. You've left it a very tempting target.
VICE ADM. CORNWELL: Earth would still be defended by the Third Battlegroup.
REAR ADM. BRANSON (tenses up): But what if you're wrong, and the Klingons doesn't commit its forces to protect the Archanis System? What if instead they launch a full-scale assault on Earth? If we follow the plan you're proposing, we'll never be able to get reinforcements there in time.
Captain Branson leans forward.
CAPT. BRANSON: I don't think that the Klingons won't attack Earth because they think that we don't know what they're planning to do, and they don't know that we're planning a massive attack to retake the Archanis system.
The Admirals are looking at each other.

LT. MITCHELL: The Archanis system was the first system to be taken over by the Klingons at the start of the war?
LTCMDR. T'LAR: It is logical that Starfleet Command will approve the Admiral's plan to retake the Archanis system.

CMDR.

A beat. He leans back in his chair, a little fatigued, indicates the desktop monitor. 
ZHASA: John are you alright?
JOHN [sighs]: Yeah I've just been looking over Admiral Pike's battle plan to retake the Archanis System, and I think this will give us the huge victory that we need to boost Morale throughout the Federation.
Zhasa sits in front of the desk.
ZHASA: John if you want to stay behind and be with your family?

Kyle pushes Duffy's face on the console screen causing it to crack.

LTCMDR. WILLIAMS : I know you're taking Commander Taru's death hard Kyle but you're a good officer and I don't want to see you relieved of duty and confined to quarters over this, but if you want I can give you a few days off to cool off.

Doors opened and Commander Ivanova enters.
ZHASA: Oh I'm sorry I didn't know.
JOHN: Oh Z its alright I was just getting out of the shower after working on some damage relays with Commander Williams is a big reason why I decided to be a Starship Captain, what's on your mind?
ZHASA: Well I was just thinking that if we are going to die in battle I was hoping that we could have a moment to talk John I know that you want to remain onboard the Enterprise for the rest of the war, but your family needs you and the Enterprise needs her Captain to be focused not hunkered down like a sad little boy.
JOHN: Is that your opinion on the matter Commander?
She puts her hands behind her back.
ZHASA: Not only my job as first officer but as a friend.
JOHN [sighs]: Z right now I've got no time to take a break not with the Klingons breathing down our necks when we win this I'll take that break but till then I am in command of the Enterprise and that's not going to change are we clear Commander.

LT. SMITH: Aye, sir.
LT. MITCHELL: That's the eleventh ship to fall out of formation. 
Lieutenant Carlson turns to him.
LT. CARLSON: Nice of you to keep track, Ty.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: He can't help being negative -- it's his nature.
LT. MITCHELL (smirks): On the contrary, I always hope for the best. Unfortunately, experience has taught me to expect the worst.
Then Commander T'Lar reports.
LTCMDR. T'LAR [off console]: I'm picking something up...[a beat as she reads her console] Sir, it's a large Klingon battlegroup, bearing zero-zero-four mark zero-zero-nine.
CAPT. BRANSON: How many ships?
At first T'Lar doesn't answer, slightly taken aback by what she's reading on her console.
LTCMDR. T'LAR: Twelve hundred and fifty-four ships.
LT. CARLSON: They outnumber us two to one.
LT. MITCHELL: Now who's being negative?

CAPT. BRANSON [to com]: Destroyers and cruisers half impulse. You too Lieutenant. 
LT. CARLSON [taps on her console]: half impulse aye, Captain. 
LT. MITCHELL: I feel sorry for the Andorians they're going to miss a very interesting battle.
LT. MASON: I have a feeling we're going to miss them.
CAPT. BRANSON: Forget the Andorians. Our only job is to retake the Archanis system from the Klingon forces [determined] And that's what we're going to do. [to com] Attack-fighters, tactical pattern Theta. Concentrate your fire on the smaller Klingon ships, then split off into squadrons and run like hell. 
LT. CARLSON [confused]: Why is he only targeting the Bird of Prey Frigates?
LT. MITCHELL: He's hoping to get them to break formation and go after the Federation fighters. He knows the veteran combat officers will stand their ground, but the younger newer combat officers just might get angry enough to take the bait. 
LT. CARLSON [thinks]: Which would open a hole we can punch through. 
LT. MITCHELL: What an education you're getting. 
LT. SMITM [off her console]: Attack-fighters in Theta formation. Cruiser and Destroyer wings, at half impulse.
