FLT ADM. WHITE: know that we've been fighting the Klingons in different sectors of Federation Space as some of you are with our forces facing down the Klingon forces in different sectors, as you can see the Klingons have taken half a dozen systems in Federation Space they're demanding that we give up Archanis and Invernse V so far the Federation council is refusing to do it.
CAPT. TOWE: The Klingons are ruthless and deadly they'll strike without warning and attempt to take us out or takeover the Alpha Quadrant.
CMDR. MOR: So if we're going to win this battle then we need a plan.
FLT ADM. WHITE: The taskforce will head to sector 243 and make sure that the Klingons don't take the system.
CAPT. BRANSON: Who's leading the battlegroup?
FLT ADM. WHITE: You are Captain Branson.
Everyone tenses up hearing that.

The taskforce is at warp.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
The senior staff are around the table.
CAPT. BRANSON: Sector 243 is a straight shot at Earth if the Klingons get the sector they'll use it as a staging ground where they'll have enough troops and ships to invade sector 001 and the heart of Federation Space.
The senior staff are shocked by what John just said.
CMDR. IVANOVA: We won't let the Klingons get that sector.
CAPT. BRANSON: I know we won't Z.
LT. MITCHELL: Phaser banks are fully charged and torpedoes are fully loaded and shields are fully charged.
DR. CARLSON: My medical staff is ready for incoming wounded and we've got a full stock of radiation treatment.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: My engineering staff is ready to seal hull breaches or repair damaged relays.
CAPT. BRANSON: I know that we're suppose to be explores exploring the far reaches of the Alpha Quadrant but if the Klingons win this war we'll be watching our backs at every turn and it wouldn't be a fun time to explore we've got our work cut out for us dismissed.
The senior staff is dismissed.

CAPT. BRANSON: Good, T'Lar full sensor scans.
Commander T'Lar works at her console running her scans and reports.
LTCMDR. T'LAR: Sensor readings show all clear sir.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Strange according to Admiral White the Klingons were going to make a major push in this sector.
CAPT. BRANSON: Yeah, that's what she said Z but I don't understand how we're not detecting anything on long range or short range scans.
LT. MITCHELL: They do have cloaking devices sir they could be using them.
CAPT. BRANSON: Its possible but all encounters we've had with them suggest that they rather take the charging approach.
LT. CARLSON: Maybe their taking a lunch break.
CAPT. BRANSON [sighs]: I wish, T'Lar keep an eye on sensors and the moment you detect Klingons let me know.
LTCMDR. T'LAR [nods]: Aye, sir.
Captain Branson tenses up.

Sarah enters her father's quarters.
SARAH: She wants you to transfer command of the battlegroup to her.

JOHN: I'm not sure I follow what you're saying Sarah is she wanting to take command of this battlegroup?
SARAH [nods]: Yes.
John crossed his arms.
JOHN: Did she say why she is demanding I transfer command over to her?
SARAH: No she didn't but I think she's still frustrated about Kyle being onboard the Enterprise and not at the New Zealand Penal Colony back home.
John paces about.
JOHN: You can tell her that I am not transferring command of this battlegroup just because of her lingering issues with Kyle being onboard the Enterprise.
He leaves his quarters as his daughter Sarah is still standing there.
