T'Kar wakes up to find her hands have been tied behind her back and she's been disarmed, as she looks at Lieutenant Kaye.
T'KAR: What am I doing here?
LT. KAYE: You're welcome.
She looks at Kaye.
T'KAR: What?
LT. KAYE: It's a human expression. You thank me for saving your life, I say, you're welcome. 
She rushes at Kaye who stops her.
LT. KAYE: I accept your surrender. 
T'Kar struggles against her grip.
LT. KAYE: Look, I promise you, as soon as we get back to Enterprise, we'll find a Romulan ship and hand you over to them.
T'Kar has a worried expression on her face.
T'KAR: You should of let me die.
LT. KAYE: I'm not in the habit of killing children.
COMPUTER VOICE: Warning. Alien vessel approaching at zero-two-two mark eight
Lieutenant Kaye walks to the helm and ops station and sees the Romulan Kerchan-class battle cruiser.
LT. KAYE: Computer open a channel to the Kerchan.
COMPUTER VOICE: Channel open
LT. KAYE [to com]: Kaye to Romulan vessel. I have a young man on board you might know. She goes by the name of T'Kar. I'd say she's about thirteen. I'd like to arrange for her transfer before I return to my ship. Computer, confirm channel is open.
COMPUTER VOICE: Confirmed. Transmission has been received
Jamie turns to her.
LT. KAYE: Talk to them. Tell them you're okay.
Before she could speak the shuttle shakes.
COMPUTER VOICE: Warning. Romulan vessel has engaged a tractor beam
LT. KAYE: Full reverse.
COMPUTER: Unable to comply. Tractor force exceeds available engine power
T'Kar walks over to Jamie.
T'KAR: Kill me. Please.
Kaye turns to her.
LT. KAYE: Why are you so eager for me to kill you?
SUB-LT. T'KAR: Because there are worse things than being killed by your enemy.
EXT. SHACKLETON EXPANSE
The tiny shuttlecraft is dragged into the massive Romulan ship.
INT. BRIG AREA, IRW KERCHAN
Jamie and T'Kar are thrown into the brig.
LT. KAYE: Look. If you check your long-range sensors, you'll find a big ship out there. It's called Enterprise, and by now it's on its way to find me.
CMDR. T'LOK: I told Tomalak that you weren't ready T'Kar.
SUB-LT. T'KAR: I was ready, T'Lok, ready to kill or die. I felt the flames touch my skin!
CMDR. T'LOK: Go back in, T'Kar.
T'Kar looks over at Lieutenant Kaye and back to her father.
T'KAR [frustrated]: It was this fool, this Federation, who doesn't even have the courage to kill his enemies. He pulled me out with that transporter we've heard about. Like the Klingons and early Starfleet vessels before you, you come into our space, showing off your uniforms and displaying the markings of your Federation with no respect, as if you own this part of space. But it belongs to us! I tried to kill him, T'Lok!
T'Lok knocks his daughter down as Kaye attempts to go confront him but a guard raised his disruptor but T'Lok stopped the guard as T'Kar slowly gets up.
SUB-LT. T'KAR: I want to see Tomalak! Let me see the General!
LT. KAYE: You tell the General that Federation Lieutenant Jamie Kaye demands to see him.
SUB-LT. KAR: What are you doing?
LT. KAYE: I want to speak with the General I'm hoping if he's strong enough to be in command, he's wise enough to listen to reason.
T'Kar leans back on the bulkhead and sits on the cot as Jamie is worried.

LTCMDR. JAMES [com voice]: Aye, sir
LT. SITO: Transport complete sir.
LT. MASON: Captain, I am detecting an ion trail leading away from this location.
John turns to him.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jamie's shuttle?
LT. MASON: The signature of the radiation is not consistent with Federation propulsion systems.
CMDR. RO [confused]: So what are we saying here? That someone blew up Jamie's shuttle and then took off?
CAPT. MARTIN: That's speculation, Ro, but that trail's the only clue we have to Jamie's whereabouts set a course and engage.

Lieutenant T'Kar stands at attention.
SUB-LT. T'KAR: General Tomalak sir.
He looks over at Lieutenant Kaye then at T'Kar.
GEN. TOMALAK: I never thought I would see you like this.
SUB-LT. T'KAR: I have no excuses for my failure sir I accept whatever punishment you have for me even execution.
GEN. TOMALAK: You're right you have no excuses for this but I was able to talk to your father and he had forgo your execution.
T'Kar looks at him.
SUB-LT. T'KAR: But I failed I should be executed for it.
GEN. TOMALAK: You will eat at my right hand tonight.
T'Kar leaves the cell as Tomalak looks over at Lieutenant Kaye.
GEN. TOMALAK: Why did you save him? It's a very ineffective way of waging war.
LT. KAYE: We're not at war with the Star Empire we want to make peace with your people.
GEN. TOMALAK: I wish I could say the same. You may not think you're at war with us, Federation Lieutenant Jamie Kaye, but everything you are is a threat to us.
General Tomalak leaves the cell as the force-field re-engaged.
EXT. SHACKLETON EXPANSE
The Enterprise is at impulse searching for Lieutenant Kaye.
INT. MAIN ENGINEERING, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Captain Martin walks into main engineering and walks over to were Commander James is working on the debris sample.
CAPT. MARTIN: Well?
LTCMDR. JAMES: Most of the debris we've examined is composed of a polyduranide alloy which isn't used in the construction of Federation spacecraft.
CAPT. MARTIN: So it wasn't Jamie's shuttle that was destroyed?
LTCMDR. JAMES: Nope this vessel was Romulan.
JUMP CUT TO:
INT. CARGO BAY, IRW KERCHAN
T'Lok brings other young Romulans with him.
LT. KAYE: You get them involved young, T'Lok.
CMDR. T'LOK: As soon as they're old enough to protect their younger siblings.
LT. KAYE: So they brought you here to see your first human. Take a good look. You won't see any hate in my eyes. I'm a gentle woman from a gentle people who wish you no harm.
GEN. TOMALAK: That's enough!
LT. KAYE: I know you'd like them to hate me, Tomalak, but I want their first impression of humans to be a good one.
GEN. TOMALAK: You've been brought here to learn what it means to be a Romulan soldiers. You all know T'Kar. You've learned to fight together, haven't you?
Lieutenant T'Kar stands at attention as she's wearing non-Romulan uniform because of her failure.
GEN. TOMALAK: We are here to learn the price of failure in battle. 
Tomalak gives the weapon to Jamie.
LT. KAYE: What do you want me to do with it?
GEN. TOMALAK: Kill her like you should done in battle.
LT. KAYE: And if I refuse?
No answer. The weapon drops to the floor. Jamie bends to pick it up, attacks Tomalak and gets him on his knees with arms pinned behind his back. She holds the weapon to the leader's head.
LT. KAYE: I'll be needing my shuttle back.
GEN. TOMALAK: Do you really think you can escape us in that little vessel of yours?
LT. KAYE: Like I said my ship is coming to look for me.
GEN. TOMALAK: Let the coward run. Prepare her shuttle.
LT. KAYE: Want to come? There doesn't seem to be much of a future for you here.
CMDR. T'LOK: She'd rather die than run like a Calogan dog with you, Federation.
[T'Kar struck her father and took his gun.]
T'KAR: If I stay here, I'll die without a chance to fight. And grandpa taught me only cowards die without a fight.
They back up out of the cargo bay.
T'KAR: I'll show you how to disable the weapons systems.

LT. KAYE: Yeah, he's only stunned.
The runabout SHAKES under fire.
LT. KAYE: It didn't take them long to get those weapons back online, did it? Computer, prepare to go to warp.
T'KAR: No! Their ship is much clumsier at lower speeds. We should try to outmaneuver them.
LT. KAYE: Got it.
WHUMPH!
WHUMPH!
T'KAR: I can give you the shield frequencies of their ship. We can hit them back easily.
LT. KAYE: It may mean something to you to die a violent death, but I'd like to get out of this without killing or being killed.
T'KAR: You'd rather die in your sleep a wrinkled old woman?
LT. KAYE: Sounds about right.
WHUMPH!
LT. KAYE: Computer, damage report.
COMPUTER: Aft deflectors at sixty three percent
LT. KAYE: We're not going to make it like this. Computer, scan for an M-class atmosphere.
COMPUTER: There is an M-class moon at bearing one zero eight mark one eight. Distance, one point nine million kilometers
T'KAR: That's Unroth, where the Romulans conduct training exercises.
LT. KAYE: Anybody training there now?
T'Kar shakes her head.

JUMP CUT TO:
EXT. PLANET SURFACE-DAY
A buzzard circles the bodies of Jamie and T'Kar, lying on a rocky outcrop. They wake. Jamie is holding a gun.
LT. KAYE: T'Kar?
T'KAR: It worked?
LT. KAYE: The computer said that transport wasn't recommended. It didn't say it was impossible. With any luck, Tomalak will think we didn't survive the explosion.
SUB-LT. T'KAR: Maybe.
Lieutenant Kaye gets out a tricorder.
LT. KAYE [re: tricorder]: First thing we've got to do is find some shelter and get out of this heat. Any suggestions?
SUB-LT. T'KAR: There's a cave about half a kilometer from here.
LT. KAYE: Lead the way.
They head for the cave.

The Enterprise is at impulse speed.
INT. BRIEFING ROOM, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Doctor Langford is on the screen.
DR. LANGFORD [monitor]: I finished analyzing the shuttle debris, and I found no evidence of human remains
CAPT. MARTIN: So Jamie could of beamed off the shuttle before it exploded?
DR. LANGFORD [monitor]: That is correct
CAPT. MARTIN: That's the first good news I've heard all day. Thank you, Peter.
DR. LANGFORD [monitor]: My pleasure. Now, would you mind having someone transport this junk to the Cargo Bay? It's cluttering up my lab
CAPT. MARTIN [smiles]: I'll have someone come and remove it.
Transmission ends as Captain Martin turns to the rest of the senior staff.
CMDR. RO: So Jamie's alive.
CAPT. MARTIN: In the absence of evidence to the contrary, I choose to believe Jamie made it to that moon. Sito, see if you can determine the most probable location he would have beamed to. Lieutenant, you and I will lead the away team.
Commander Ro turns to look at John.
CMDR. RO: Captain, may I remind of Away Team guidelines? As well as the situation with the Romulans.
CAPT. MARTIN: I'm aware of the danger Commander have Chief Mackenzie keep a lock on us at the first sign of trouble you can beam us out dismissed.

Lieutenant Kaye gets out her tricorder and works on it as T'Kar looks over at her.
T'KAR: What are you doing?
LT. KAYE: I'm setting my tricorder to emit a homing signal.
She places the tricorder on a rock and she looks at T'Kar.
LT. KAYE: I think we both could use some sleep, don't you?
Later, Jamie is sleeping when T'Kar picks up the tricorder and turns it off. Then he points the weapon at Jamie, but she can't pull the trigger and throws it away. She opens the tricorder again and sits down.

CMDR. RO: Just stopped to make a few repairs. We'll be on our way in no time.
GEN. TOMALAK [viewer]: That is a lie. You are here looking for your Lieutenant Kaye
CMDR. RO: Now, how would you know about that?
GEN. TOMALAK [viewer]: Quite simply. We killed him
CMDR. RO: Under what circumstances?
CMDR. T'LOK [viewer]: She kidnapped a young woman. During her escape, it became necessary to destroy her ship. No doubt you found the remains, so I suggest you depart immediately
Everyone is shocked.
CMDR. RO: We'll leave as soon as we've retrieved our crewmen, all of them, including Jamie, if she's alive. And if one of your people is with her, she'll be returned to you.
Transmission ends.
LT. SITO: They're moving into a lower orbit. Looks like they're intending to enter the atmosphere.
CMDR. RO: I need communication with the surface, Courtney, and soon.
LTCMDR. JAMES: I still haven't been able to get the dampening field working. I can't even give you an estimate.

T'Kar sits looking at the ground.
LT. KAYE: Good morning. How did you sleep?
T'KAR: Fine.
LT. KAYE: Really? You seemed a little restless to me.
T'KAR: What do you mean?
LT. KAYE: All that skulking around, throwing things.
T'KAR: You were awake?
LT. KAYE: You think I'm going to get much sleep around a Romulan soldier who's threatened to kill me? Why didn't you go through with it?
T'KAR: I am a coward.
LT. KAYE: I don't believe that. I don't believe you do either. I think maybe you're beginning to realize I'm not your enemy, and only a fool would kill a friend.
T'KAR: If you are my friend, then you're my only one. What happens to me now? Where do I go?
LT. KAYE: Where would you go?
T'KAR: I don't know.
LT. KAYE: I guess you could come with us.
T'KAR: To do what, dress in a uniform?
LT. KAYE: You wouldn't have to wear a uniform but it would make T'Mir happy to see a family member since her father died.

The two teams are searching for their missing crewmen.
LT. MASON [re: tricorder]: Captain, I am detecting two bio-signs heading our way one human and one Romulan.
Both T'Kar and Lieutenant Kaye show up but as they go to the Starfleet Away Team a forcefield bubble goes around them.
CMDR. T'LOK: So, your technology is not always an ally. Sometimes it betrays you. Pity. I'm afraid you would not score well in our training exercises.
GEN. TOMALAK: But you and your crew will make great prisoners of war.
Just then Commander Donatra and two Romulan soldiers show up to support the Starfleet team.
CMDR. DONATRA: Not if we can stop you General.
Both Tomalak and T'Lok back up as Donatra and her men releases the Starfleet Away Team, as Tomalak and T'Lok dematerialized.
