Admiral Nogura is looking over ship status reports from the fleet in different sectors of Federation Space, as both Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova are in front of his desk wearing their dress uniforms.
VICE ADM. NOGURA: So Corith IV was attacked by the Romulans?
CAPT. BRANSON (nods): Yes, sir they were gone by the time we've got there.
VICE ADM. NOGURA: How many were killed?
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Twenty-five were killed dozens wounded a medical taskforce led by the U.S.S. Nightingale has picked up the rest of the survivors and are heading to medical outpost 14.
Nogura leans back.
VICE ADM. NOGURA (Sighs): Damn it the Romulans are so damn annoying since we first learned of their existence, the Klingon Empire has conquered and occupied two planets that we know of and fired on our ships half a dozen times. They are coming our way. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Sir, so far since the signing of the Neutral Zone treaty in 2160 they've not tried to declare war.
VICE ADM. NOGURA: You believe that Commander.
Commander Ivanova adjusts a bit in her chair.
CAPT. BRANSON: All we've encountered so far were raiders but they've not decided to attempted to purse open conflict.
VICE ADM. NOGURA: Well it seems that we will see a war after all Captain.
Both Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova are confused about it.
VICE ADM. NOGURA: What can you tell me about Draken IV?
CAPT. BRANSON: It was attacked by the Romulans during the Coalition-Romulan War n 2156-2160.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Four planets all colonized the fourth planet has a research outpost currently ran by Doctor R'Sar.
VICE ADM. NOGURA: Well the Romulans are going to launch an attack on the outpost.
Both Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova are shocked by this.

Commodore Wilson's office has the vibe of Starbase 11 from the "TOS Season 1 Episode: Court Martial" but is in space, as Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova are both reviewing the readiness report that Commodore Wilson is going to send to Starfleet Command.
CAPT. BRANSON: This readiness report is unacceptable.
He puts the PADD down.
COMM. WILSON [surprised]: What are you talking about?
CAPT. BRANSON: Your base is a decade old and their defenses are old as dinosaurs and you only have two Starships a Class-J cargo Hauler & a Miranda-Class Destroyer, that's not the best for a future attack by the Romulans.
Commodore Wilson looks at him.
COMM. WILSON: I disagree Captain this base can handle anything the Klingons and the Romulans can throw at this base.
CAPT. BRANSON: Sir, you are not listening to these reports on what the Romulans are planning.
Commodore Wilson gets up from his desk.
COMM. WILSON: You have made your point Captain dismissed.

John sat next to her.
JOHN: It's just good that you're here I sent transmissions to both Holt and Jason hopefully they get here soon.
JESSICA: I was surprised that Starfleet is allowing to assemble a battlegroup to defend the base.
JOHN: After what I told Jim I don't blame him for diverting you and other two vessels to our position.

CAPT. BRANSON: That's all the probe was able to gather before it was destroyed.

CAPT. ALLEN: The Romulans must know that we're still recovering from the M-5 incident the Excalibur, Potemkin and Hood are still in dry-dock going through extensive repairs.
CAPT. BROSSEAU: And with the lost of the Constellation it will be difficult to replace Commodore Decker.
CAPT. BRANSON: Whatever the case is we've got to prepare for their attack and make sure this base doesn't fall to the Star Empire.

A few seconds later Commodore Wilson comes onto the monitor.
COMM. WILSON [monitor]: Captain what's the meaning of this I was just informed of 3 Federation vessels are here as well as the Enterprise?
CAPT. BRANSON: You weren't going to listen to me so I went to Fleet Captain Kirk and he called the for them to come here to assist in the defense of this base.
COMM. WILSON [monitor]: Because we can handle the Romulans they've not attacked this planet since the 22nd century
CAPT. SMITH: Commodore the Romulans aren't going to sit by and let you get your weapons on-line, we're here and we are under orders to defend this base.
He ends the transmission.
CAPT. BRANSON: Wow he is a piece of work.
CAPT. ALLEN: So what do we do?
Captain Branson turns to him.
CAPT. BRANSON: What we always do we prepare for the attack that is about to come, and my first order stands we hold the line till reinforcements arrive.
Both Captain Allen and Captain Brousseau leaves the ready room to return to their ships, as Jessica walks over to John.
JOHN: So, Jess you still think that I have it in me to lead this taskforce?
JESSICA [smiles]: You will lead us to victory John we all have faith in you.
John turns to her.
