He opens the box and nothing happens. 
TEENAXI AMBASSADOR: What's wrong with it? 
CAPT. BRANSON (Confused): Uh excuse me? 
TEENAXI AMBASSADOR: Why don't they want it anymore? 
CAPT. BRANSON: Uh well uh this was once a piece of an ancient weapon, and now they offer it as a symbol of...of peace. In the Fibonan culture, to surrender a weapon is an offer of truce. 
TEENAXI: How did they come by it? 
CAPT. BRANSON (bit annoyed): They told me they acquired it a long time ago. 
TEENAXI: So they stole it, then. 
CAPT. BRANSON: No, they...Well, I don't know. 
TEENAXI: You don't know the Fibonans like we do! 
CAPT. BRANSON: Yeah, that's very true. Your Excellency, this gift... 
TEENAXI: They're a crowd of untrustworthy thieves who want to see us murdered in our own beds! 
CAPT. BRANSON: This beloved artifact is a symbol of trust and peace. 
TEENAXI: They want to chop us into pieces and roast us over a fire! 
CAPT. BRANSON: No, non I don't think that's true. 
TEENAXI: And eat us!

GEN. SHRAN (viewer): We're here to take Lieutenant Commander Clarkson to Andor for tribunal
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm not sure what you're talking about?
GEN. SHRAN (viewer): You lie Captain we know you have him onboard your vessel, we detected his bio-signs onboard your vessel in your medical area so I say again drop out of warp or we will open fire

LT. WILLIAMS: Well I could give the long version or the short version of damage report.
CAPT. BRANSON: Short version will do.
LT. WILLIAMS: Sensors, Deflectors, and impulse engines are down so if we drop out of warp it will be a rough exit.
CAPT. BRANSON: What can you do?
LT. WILLIAMS: Basically, you've got to prioritize. I can get you deflector, sensors, or impulse engines, but not all at once. So, what do you want first? 
LTJG. MITCHELL: I would prefer to see them coming, but without our deflectors we can't protect ourselves.
CAPT. BRANSON: Deflectors Steph we need them.
LT. WILLIAMS (Nods): Aye, sir.
Lieutenant Williams leaves the briefing room.

VICE HERBERT: This court is now in session. I have appointed as members of this court Space Command Representative Lindstrom, Starship Captains Fleet Admiral Alice Ozawa, Vice Admiral Thomas Halsey and the head of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers Commodore Bradley Johnson. Commander Clarkson, I direct your attention to the fact that you have a right to ask for substitute officers if you feel that any of these named harbor any prejudiced attitudes to your case. 
KYLE: I have no objections sir.
VICE ADM. HERBERT: Do you consent to the service Lieutenant Shaw as prosecuting officer and to myself as president of the court? 
KYLE: Yes, sir.
VICE ADM. HERBERT: Let's begin then.
LT. SHAW: (Re: PADD): I've been reviewing the reports of Doctor Carlson, (beat) as well as the reports from the security guards that found the Admiral's remains. And I don't believe any of the reports from them I am here to prove that this man who dishonorably discharged from Starfleet for the death of one thousand two hundred fifty-four Andorian colonists and is now responsible for the death of Vice Admiral Curry did he want revenge for being discharged or was he just frustrated with Starfleet that's what I'm here to determine. 
She sits down as Commander Anne Clarkson gets up.
LTCMDR. A CLARKSON: (To Admiral T'Lara): Admiral what miss Shaw failed to mention is that mister Clarkson was requested by Vice Admiral Nogura to meet with Admiral Curry to appeal the charges that he had on him in his young Starfleet career when he was working with Starfleet Corp of Engineers, (beat) that's why he was requested here to Earth to hear about the appeal of the charges and hopefully regain his Starfleet career at the rank he held when he was dishonorably discharged and I am here to prove that he is innocent for the death of Admiral Curry.
VICE ADM. HERBERT: You may call your first witness.
LTCMDR. A CLARKSON: I call Lieutenant Commander Zhasa Ivanova to the stand.
(Zhasa hands over her data chip, sits down and puts her hand on the lie detector.)

LTCMDR. A CLARKSON: Commander you know my client how?
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: We met during the rescue of the Harrison and her crew in the Cantauris system.
LTCMDR. A CLARKSON: That system was subjected to intense solar flares from its star.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: That's correct ma'am.
LTCMDR A CLARKSON (re: PADD): Can you tell me what happened during Stardate 6954.1 if you'd please.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: It was when we discovered that Commander Clarkson took out the ECS Jamestown and her crew, but it was due to the infection of the neural parasites that he was infected with.
Screen shows the Cantaruis System on the Star Charts.
LTCMDR. A CLARKSON: So, the Cantauris system had four planets and a star that was on the verge of collapse. Starfleet dispatched the USS Harrison during the mission the Harrison was crippled and badly damaged many injured or killed my brother my client was on the subspace relay with his team repairing it.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: That's correct ma'am.
She sits back down as Lieutenant Shaw gets up from her chair and walks over to Commander Ivanova.
LT. SHAW: Commander Ivanova are you aware of the incident at Wey'tahn?
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Yes, ma'am I mean who isn't aware of the incident it was allover the Federation News Service.
LT. SHAW: Why was Captain Branson on the surface?
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: To oversee the restart of the geothermal core.
Shaw walks over to her.
LT. SHAW: Commander are you aware of you are under oath to tell the truth?
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: I am fully aware of that.
