Captain Branson, Commander Ivanova, Lieutenant Mason, Lieutenant Carlson, Lieutenant Commander Williams, Lieutenant T'Lar, Lieutenant Smith, and Lieutenant Mitchell are around the table as Commodore Grissom is standing in front of them.

LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Any survivors?
COMM. GRISSOM: None within the last few attacks that were reported.
CAPT. BRANSON: That's not good.
COMM. GRISSOM: No it's not good Captain.
Captain Branson turns to Lieutenant T'Lar.
CAPT. BRANSON: Do we have the shuttle's ion trail?
LTJG. T'LAR: Negative there's a nebula 2.3 light-years from our present position it is disrupting our sensors.
Wall monitor shows the nebula.
LTJG. T'LAR: Eighty two percent dilithium hydroxyls. Magnesium, chromium.
LTJG. MASON: That would shield an enemy vessel from our sensors.
CAPT. BRANSON: We'll continue our search for whoever did this and stop them.
COMM. GRISSOM: I'm sorry Captain but right now the Enterprise is needed to escort a medical convoy to Kestra IV, the last few convoys were destroyed by the Romulans and Starfleet needs this to reach the colony.
DR. CARLSON: What are they stricken with?
COMM. GRISSOM: A rare case of Rigillian fever several of the colonist have already lost their lives, and Starfleet wants this convoy to make it to the planet its along the Federation-Romulan Neutral Zone border so we need the best ship and crew.
CAPT. BRANSON: But sir we can't allow whoever is doing these attacks to get away with it.
COMM. GRISSOM: I understand how you feel Captain but these are Starfleet orders, there will be three Federation vessels with each convoy the Enterprise and Endeavour are in charge of convoy Delta.
CAPT. BRANSON: Aye, sir.
Commodore Grissom goes to leave then turns to face the senior staff.

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.

JAMIE: I'm unarmed I just wanna talk to you.
Kyle comes out of hiding as Jamie turns to see him. 
JAMIE (shocked): Oh my god Kyle look at you I want you to stop this please these people are only wanting to help you and so do I. 
The doors opened and Captain Branson, Ensigns Jones and Holiday enter and take up positions to ambush Kyle. 
CAPT. BRANSON (sotto): You two take that area and I'll take this area. 
They go to their positions to better aim their phasers to stun Kyle, as John sees Jamie face to face with Kyle. 
JAMIE: Kyle, please stop you are better then this don't let those things in your head control you. 
Then Captain Branson comes out of hiding aims his phaser and fires as a blue energy beam lances out and struck Kyle but nothing happens, as Kyle goes back to the enraged monster as John tries to reset to heavy stun but Kyle knocks the phaser out of John's hands the two fight it out John gets in some good hits but they don't effect Kyle who grabs John and throws him into a few containers. 
JAMIE: KYLE STOP IT YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM!
Before John can clear his head, Kyle walks over to him and grabs him by the back of his gold uniform and throws him into the bulkhead knocking him out cold, as Kyle looks at the fallen Captain Branson he turns to Jamie. As a menacing pause falls between the pair, like a predator viewing its prey then Kyle suddenly rushes Jamie, grabbing her by the throat and slamming her against the bulkhead bending it in due to the increase strength he has from the parasites. 
As he strangles Jamie he snarls into her eyes as she's gasping for air Jamie then fights back getting him to let go of her and is getting separation from him. staggering by with one hand on her neck gasping for air and coughing. 
JAMIE (coughing, gagging): K-Kyle, I know you're in there fight it! 
To which Kyle responds with only a menacing growl. 
JAMIE: I know you know who I am. Its why you can't kill me. 
Kyle reaches out to grab Jamie but she moves quicker then him and cups Kyle's face in her hands, John comes to and grabs his phaser and rearms himself. As he stands there mesmerized by the sight. 
KYLE [chokes]: J-Jamie? 
Jamie caresses his face. 
JAMIE [Smiles]: Yes, I love you Kyle. 
Kyle screams, snarls and backs away from Jamie, he staggers forward reaches out to Jamie. But he screams again and begins to claw at his face.

Then the doors to the cargo bay open as Doctor Carlson and a medical team enter and Steven goes to Kyle and examines him.

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. 
Jamie walks over to the window as John walks over to her.
