MAYA: I can't feel anything. Is that weird?
DR. CARLSON [re: medical tricorder]: No, no, no, that's not weird. That's-That's normal, Maya, Captain she's got a severe concussion but so far no spinal damage which is a good thing considering the explosive force of whatever did this.

CAPT. BRANSON: What can you tell us?
LTCDMR. WILLIAMS: From what scans we were able to take we detected this.
Wall monitor shows a strange signature.
CMDR. IVANOVA: What are we looking at?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Its a high yield energy signature that was used to make the bomb but whatever happened it blew early.
CAPT. BRANSON: How do we prevent this from happening again?
LT. MASON: We're not sure.
CMDR. IVANOVA: What does Starfleet Command say?
CAPT. BRANSON [sighs]: Fleet Admiral Ozawa has suspended all vessels departing for the time being till this is sorted out she doesn't want whoever did this to leave the Terran System and cause more destruction.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Well that gives me time to purge the warp plasma manifolds they're due for a cleaning.
CAPT. BRANSON: We've got a lot of work to do dismissed.
The senior staff leaves as Fleet Captain James T. Kirk and Lieutenant Commander Eileen Conley enters the ready room.

FLT CAPT. KIRK: I served with him aboard the Farragut he was the best officer under Captain Garrovick, he was reassigned to the U.S.S. Saratoga he was later discharged during the war he suffered an injury that wouldn't allow him to serve aboard a Starfleet vessel.
LTCMDR. CONLEY: So why would he do this?
CAPT. BRANSON: Maybe he wanted to get the Klingons to be blamed for the attack.

CAPT. BRANSON: Okay, Maya, I just have one question. At the explosion, you asked about the guys next door. Was there someone else living with Adam?
Maya thinks then looks at John.
MAYA: I don't know if he lived there, but he was always around. Kyle or-or Kevin. Maybe Kenny? I was worried that maybe he was hurt, too. I just don't get it. Adam seemed like a normal guy. Why would he do something like this?
