LTJG. MASON: This place is giving the creeps.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: I know same here just like the Jamestown.
LT. WILLIAMS: Just that it was destroyed this ship is intact.
Doctor Carlson has his medical tricorder scanning for bio-signs they get to the doors to the bridge, and Lieutenant Williams inputs commands into the panel.

The boarding enters as they see dead Klingons scattered on the decks and at their stations as Doctor Carlson resumes his scans.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Download their sensor logs and see what happened to them.
LT. WILLIAMS: Aye, Commander.
Lieutenant Williams goes to one of the consoles and starts downloading the logs, as Doctor Carlson walks over to Commander Ivanova.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Report Steven?
DR. CARLSON: All dead it seems whatever happened had to happen really quickly they had no idea what would of happened to them.

Then Lieutenant Williams chimes in. 
LT. WILLIAMS: According to scans of the debris it appeared that their warp reactor overloaded. 
FLT CAPT. WESLEY: We got this from a Andorian combat cruiser that was attacked a few days ago. 
He moves the footage to the screen from the PADD the screen activates and shows the attack, and the screen fizzes out as the senior staff are surprised by what they just saw. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: That's the fighter shuttle that attacked us.

Captain Branson turns to him. 
CAPT. BRANSON: The person in that vessel is Kyle. 
FLT CAPT. WESLEY: Ah, the man who caused the destruction of the Andorian Colony Wey'tahn? 
CAPT. BRANSON (nods): Yes the same one but he was stopping the overload but it was too far gone. 
FLT CAPT. WESLEY: But he didn't and 1,209 Andorian colonist were killed we the planet exploded, and we didn't want to lose them as the founding member of the Federation. 
Captain Branson leans forward. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Sir, I was there he was trying to save them but the overload was to far. 
FLT CAPT. WESLEY: Right now we have to figure out why he's attacking the shipping lanes
. 
CAPT. BRANSON: What was the Jamestown doing along the Neutral Zone border anyway? 
FLT CAPT. WESLEY: They were delivering medical supplies to Kestra IV they were scheduled to rendezvous with medical convoy Delta, the Enterprise is being assigned to the convoy. 
Captain Branson looks up at him. 
CAPT. BRANSON (surprised): Uh, sir can't other ships do that we're the flagship. 
He hands him the PADD. 
FLT CAPT. WESLEY: I understand that but we need the Enterprise to make sure that no one attacks the convoy, I'm sorry but your request is denied you'll be joined by the USS Constitution. 
He leaves the ready room as Captain Branson can't believe he's on escort duty.

She leaves the ready room. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: We need a way to capture Kyle if we encounter him again. 
CAPT. BRANSON: I've had the same thought myself. 
LTJG. MASON: We could modify our photons to emit an electro magnetic pulse. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: An EMP?

FLT CAPT. WESLEY: Do you have a hard time following orders Captain? 
CAPT. BRANSON: No, sir. 
FLT CAPT. WESLEY: Do you Commander? 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: No, sir. 
FLT CAPT. WESLEY: I should bust you back down to Commander for disobeying my orders Captain! 
Captain Branson remains silent. 
FLT CAPT. WESLEY (sighs): I know he's your friend John but you need to understand, he picked a bad time to resurface with the attack and destruction of both the Jamestown and an Andorian combat cruiser the Andorians are going to be looking for blood. 
CAPT. BRANSON: With all due respect Commodore I understand that your orders were not to go after him but his shuttle's warp drive was damaged, and plus since we have him the shipping lane to Kestra IV is somewhat safe we just have to deal with the Romulans attacking our convoys. 
Fleet Captain Wesley hangs his head. 
FLT CAPT. WESLEY (sighs): Very well what's his condition? 
CAPT. BRANSON: Doctor Carlson is evaluating it right now I'll have him send his medical report to you. 
FLT CAPT. WESLEY: Very well after the mission you're too meet up with the U.S.S. ;;Yorktown;; they'll take Mister Clarkson to Medical Outpost 14 
John is surprised by that. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Uh, Commodore with all due respect they'll put him in a psyche ward for 
the rest of his life instead of treating his condition, allow me to take him to Vulcan they can help him with this condition. 
Wesley shakes his head. 
FLT CAPT. WESLEY: No not this time sorry John your orders are to take him to the Yorktown, and they'll take him to Starfleet Medical Outpost 14 for further treatment. I don't want to depend on the Vulcans for help we've got the technology and experts with this understood 
CAPT. BRANSON [sighs]: Aye, sir. 
Fleet Captain Wesley heads for the doors as he turns to the two. 
FLT CAPT. WESLEY: I understand that you want to help him John but you have to let our medical officers do their duty. 
He leaves as John can't believe that he's being ordered to take Kyle to be put in a psyche ward.

JOHN: Jamie its the best option my wife and her crew will take good care of him.
JAMIE: I think it would be best that we take him to the outpost.
They stopped.

Lift starts moving.
JAMIE: Why are you being so damn stubborn about this? 
JOHN: Well lets see I am under orders. 
JAMIE: I thought you were a good friend but you're just a loyal Starfleet officer saying yes, sir to every order. 
JOHN: I am a good friend but when it comes to a high ranking officer you have to follow his orders or you could get court martialed. 
JAMIE [scoffs]: Whatever you just care about your precious Enterprise and not your best friend the man that I love and would do anything for. 
JOHN: At the cost of your command and your career? 
Jamie says nothing and the cart is filled with awkward silence. 
JAMIE: I'm sorry its just this is so damn frustrating.

JOHN: That's good. 
JAMIE (sighs): You were right it would of been too risky for us to transporter Kyle to Starfleet Medical Outpost 14, but what I saw in his eyes wasn't Kyle it was something else something primal and dangerous. 
JOHN: Jamie it wasn't his fault according to Steven those parasites were controlling his every action. 
JAMIE: HE ALMOST KILLED ME JOHN! He didn't even stop to consider who I was it was like I didn't exist to him.
