He pats her shoulder.
JOHN: I am sure that they are watching with the man upstairs.
ANNE [nods]: Yeah.
JOHN: So what do I owe this pleasure of this encounter?
Anne looks around.
ANNE [sotto]: I know Kyle's alive and that you're hiding him on Vulcan with the help of Doctor T'Ver.
JOHN [surprised]: And you know this how?
ANNE [sotto]: I know you John you don't let something like this go and it was an unfair trial that my brother received.
JOHN [sighs]: Yeah it was but what can I do about it Admiral Herbert has already dismissed the matter and she won't take my com calls.
ANNE [sotto]: I may have the information that you are looking for well part of it.
John looks at her.

KYLE (monitor): John I know something was injected into me after I left Starfleet, maybe it will kill me maybe it'll drive me crazy so someone else kills me. They want me dead, John, because I know the truth. Whatever should happen to me, go to Arcamon. I keep all the raw sensor and computer data from my missions and engineering experiments in a encrypted computer bank there. The access code is Charlie, Two, Seven, Four, Kilo, Epsilon then use your Starfleet authorization code to identify yourself. The truth is in there John, damn them with it. I'm sorry that it ends this way, but I trust your judgement. I always have. Godspeed John

Both Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova are going over the duty roster.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: According to Commander Williams she needs to rotate a few engineers to the night shift, and to see if we can get approval to go ahead.
John is off in his own world as Zhasa looks over at him.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: John?
John turns to her.
CAPT. BRANSON: Oh sorry Z I've got a lot on my mind right now.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Thinking about what happened to Kyle?
CAPT. BRANSON [nods]: Yeah, it was unfair about what happened to him and speaking of Kyle he sent me a transmission.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA [confused]: What how?
CAPT. BRANSON (to com): Computer lock doors and disable coms to this room.
COMPUTER VOICE: Doors sealed, com system in room disabled
Captain Branson activates the desktop monitor and shows Zhasa the message.
KYLE (monitor): John I know something was injected into me after I left Starfleet, maybe it will kill me maybe it'll drive me crazy so someone else kills me. They want me dead, John, because I know the truth. Whatever should happen to me, go to Arcamon. I keep all the raw sensor and computer data from my missions and engineering experiments in a encrypted computer bank there.

I'm sorry that it ends this way, but I trust your judgement. I always have. Godspeed John
Desktop monitor cuts out and it says Transmission End as Commander Ivanova is taken a back by it.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Damn so he has the information at Arcamon?
CAPT. BRANSON: Seems that way.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: I'll have Kara set a course for the Vulcan border.
John stands up.
CAPT. BRANSON: No, I'll take a shuttle.
She looks at him.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: A shuttle but we can get there faster then a shuttle?
CAPT. BRANSON: I understand that but we may have a spy onboard this ship that's been feeding Section 31 information about our whereabouts.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: But what if whoever is trying to kill Kyle tries to kill you John we're a team we need to work together on this don't do this alone we all feel bad about what happened to Commander Clarkson.
John stares at her for a long beat...then:
CAPT. BRANSON: Assemble the troops.
Ivanova nods. There's a warm beat between them, then she turns to go...
EXT-SOL SYSTEM
Enterprise undocks from the Federation Dockyard and enters warp on course to the Vulcan border.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
Captain Branson is on his feet, facing Ivanova, Mason, Williams, Mitchell, Carlson, T'Shara, Smith and Carlson. The mood is tense, filled with anticipation.
CAPT. BRANSON: I am sure you all are wondering why we're heading towards Arcamon Science Station, I've received some intel regarding the Wey'tahn Incident from an unlikely source.
LT. MASON: What source is that sir?
CAPT. BRANSON: I can't go into detail about it at this time Mister Mason but I can assure you that it's important to finding out who is trying to kill Commander Clarkson and why any luck on tracing the transmissions?
LTJG. SMITH: No, sir whoever is doing it has been able to mask their signature.
LT. MASON: I've instructed my security teams to check all junction tubes for any unauthorized entries.
LTJG. MITCHELL: So, we're just going to show up on their doorstep and ask for the "intel"?
CAPT. BRANSON: If Doctor T'Ver will allow us to dock I will go and get it and bring it back here.
LT. CARLSON: We should arrive at Arcamon in a few hours sir.
Lieutenant Mason is a bit unsettled knowing that his cover could be blown if Captain Branson finds out.
CAPT. BRANSON: I want everyone to remain alert during this time we need to find out who is sending transmissions to Section 31 and why dismissed.
Everyone leaves except for Commander Williams.
CAPT. BRANSON: Is there a issue Steph?
She looks at her.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Yes, sir but I didn't want to say it in front of the others.
CAPT. BRANSON: What's on your mind?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Sir, I don't get it why are we helping Commander Clarkson he took our assignment from us he took over my job as Chief Engineer on that mission that was my work you gave me that duty to restore the geothermal core and you allowed him to take it from me.
John puts his hand on the table.
CAPT. BRANSON [sighs]: Admiral Herbert expressed her concerns on my choice of allowing you to work on the geothermal core when you had 0 experience and she wanted a more experienced officer to work on it.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: And now look where it got us the Andorians are threating to leave the Federation over the fact that we disobeyed direct orders from a Commodore a Commodore to take him to Captain Smith to be taken to Starbase 5.
CAPT. BRANSON: Steph, I understand your concern but you know me I wasn't about to let Commander Clarkson rot in a psyche ward for the rest of his life receiving 0 treatment for those parasites.
Commander Williams leaves the ready room.
EXT-FEDERATION-VULCAN BORDER
Enterprise emerges from warp approaches Arcamon Science Station.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
Lieutenant Smith turns from her console and reports.
LTJG. SMITH: We're being hailed by the Station its Doctor T'Ver.
Captain Branson gets up from the Captain's chair.
CAPT. BRANSON: On screen.
Transparent viewer shows the command center of Arcamon Science Station and Doctor T'Ver.
DR. T'VER [viewer]: Captain Branson it is good to see you again
CAPT. BRANSON (smiles): And you as well Doctor T'Ver I must ask permission to board the science station.
T'Ver is a bit hesitate to allow the good Captain onboard.
DR. T'VER [viewer]: Captain forgive me but I am not sure if I should allow you to come aboard
CAPT. BRANSON: T'Ver this information could help find out why Section 31 wants Kyle dead, he also sent me a message before he went crazy I have it here with me. I am willing to share it with you.
DR. T'VER (viewer): Very well you may board
CAPT. BRANSON: Thank you.
Transmission ends as Captain Branson looks over at Lieutenant Carlson.
CAPT. BRANSON: Proceed to dock.
LT. CARLSON: Aye, sir.
Lieutenant Carlson inputs commands into the helm station.
EXT-FEDERATION-VULCAN BORDER
Enterprise moves into the docking berth as the two moorings attach to both sides of the Enterprise's neck.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE JACK & STEPHANIE'S QUARTERS
Jack sits at his desktop monitor and puts a small device next to it.
LT. MASON: Computer, send out a encoded transmission Starfleet subspace code Seven-Nine Baker.
Desktop monitor activates and Agent Yuki Sulu appears.
AGENT SULU (holographic form): Report?
LT. MASON: Captain Branson has brought the ship to Arcamon Science Station that's where Mister Clarkson was taken to instead of Starfleet Medical Outpost Fourteen.
AGENT SULU (holographic form): Damn it that's not good if he finds information that we were involved with what happened at the Andorian colony it will destroy the Federation from within
LT. MASON: And my career.
AGENT SULU (holographic form): It's a bit late to get cold feet Jack
LT. MASON: I'm not certain how much longer I can keep this from the crew my wife and friends. 
AGENT SULU (holographic form): Tell them that the Captain may of been feeling down about failing to help his friend
LT. MASON: You want me to lie?
AGENT SULU (holographic form): Yes
Jack paces about and faces the holographic form of Yuki
LT. MASON: I've worked closely with these people. You can trust them!
AGENT SULU (holographic form): Branson is a Starfleet captain. His duty would be to report everything you tell him to Fleet Captain Kirk. They would launch an investigation
LT. MASON: How would you know if they would launch an investigation they consider the matter closed.
AGENT SULU (holographic form): Because Mister Clarkson is his friend
LT. MASON (sighs): I'm being compromised, Yuki, and I don't like it. 
Yuki puts her hands behind her back.
AGENT SULU (holographic form): Then I suggest you adjust your comfort level, Lieutenant. You made a commitment to us long before you joined the Enterprise
Unknown to both Yuki and Jack Stephanie has been listening to the whole conversation and she quietly leaves their quarters to inform Commander Ivanova or Captain Branson.

FADE IN
EXT-FEDERATION-VULCAN BORDER
Enterprise is docked at Arcamon Science Station.
INT-ARCAMON SCIENCE STATION COMMAND CENTER
Captain Branson enters it and walks over to Doctor T'Ver and they trade the Vulcan Salute.
CAPT. BRANSON: Doctor T'Ver it is very good to see you again sorry I came here all of the sudden but I need information.
DR. T'VER: Logic dictates that you are here because it considers Commander Clarkson.
CAPT. BRANSON: Yes it does.
Doctor T'Ver looks at him.
CAPT. BRANSON: I need the information on the Wey'tahn Incident from Kyle's computer terminal. 
DR. T'VER: For what purpose. 
CAPT. BRANSON: To clear his name and get his career back. 
DR. T'VER [raises an eyebrow]: What proof do you have that will allow us to give you the information? 
John shows them the chip. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Here's the chip containing a message from Kyle. 
He walks over to a terminal and inserts it into the console as Kyle appears on the screen. 
KYLE [monitor]: John I know something was injected into me after I left Starfleet, maybe it will kill me maybe it'll drive me crazy so someone else kills me. They want me dead, John, because I know the truth. Whatever should happen to me, go to Arcamon. I keep all the raw sensor and computer data from my missions and engineering experiments in a encrypted computer bank there. The access code is Charlie, Two, Seven, Four, Kilo, Epsilon then use your Starfleet authorization code to identify yourself. The truth is in there John, damn them with it. I'm sorry that it ends this way, but I trust your judgement. I always have. Godspeed John
The monitor cuts out and it says Transmission End as John looks at Doctor T'Ver.
DR. T'VER: Interesting. 
CAPT. BRANSON: As you can see he was fighting to keep control he must of known that I'd have to get here to get what he needs to clear his name. 
DR. T'VER: It's impossible I have tried to unlock his terminal but it was no use. 
They walk over to the console. 
DR. T'VER: It is on a very impressive lock out that not even I could break, can you get into his computer? 
JOHN: Yeah he sent the code to me computer this is John Branson Captain of the Federation Starship U.S.S. Enterprise, override lock out command codes Charlie, Two, Seven, Kilo, Epsilon. Authorization Branson Delta seven-five-nine Pi Alpha. 
COMPUTER VOICE: Authorization code verified
Screen activates. 
DR. T'VER: Impressive. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Thanks Doc. 
John gets out a data chip and downloads the information. 
JOHN: So how is Kyle? 
T'VER: He is recovering well from his ordeal logic dictates that he will be ready for his retrial soon.
CAPT. BRANSON: Thanks doc.
DR. T'VER: You are welcome John I am always ready to help my best student.
John leaves.

John is at a console when T'Shara enters.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: You wanted to see me Captain?
CAPT. BRANSON: Yes, T'Shara you remember the Wey'tahn incident? 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA [nods]: Yes, sir I do it is a surprise that you would bring that up sir? 
CAPT. BRANSON: The reason I brought you here is because I need help understanding this data before I take it to Starfleet Command to try to convince them to retrial Kyle. 
Then the doors opened and Commander Williams enters. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Steph sorry but now isn't a good time. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: I know sir sorry but there's something you should know I've found out where the mysterious transmissions are coming from, and you're not going to like where they're coming from. 
The camera does a close up on John's face.

INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
Wall monitor shows Lieutenant Mason's file as the doors chimed. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Come. 
Doors opened and Lieutenant Mason enters. 
LT. MASON: You wanted to see me sir? 
CAPT. BRANSON: Yes have a seat Mister Mason. 
Jack sat down at the briefing table as he places a small device on the table. 
LT. MASON [confused]: I'm not sure I understand sir? 
CAPT. BRANSON: It's a memory scrubber. 
LT. MASON: Why would anyone want to erase information? 
CAPT. BRANSON: Only someone with security clearance of alpha-four or higher had access to the storage container. That's just Commander Ivanova, you and me. 
LT. MASON: I agree. It is a bit of a mystery. 
CAPT. BRANSON: The mysterious databursts that T'Shara detected two days ago have been bouncing to and from the Enterprise for the last few weeks since Kyle was discharged from Starfleet, now I want to know what the hell is going on. 
Lieutenant Mason says nothing. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Answer me Lieutenant. 
He stands up and faces Captain Branson. 
LT. MASON: Respectfully, sir, I refuse to answer any more questions. 
John gets up from the chair and walks over to him and pulls him close to him. 
CAPT. BRANSON (into his ear): Jack, I never would've believed that you, of all people. 
[He goes to the door, opens it to reveal a MACO waiting] 
CAPT. BRANSON: Corporal Lieutenant Mason has been relieved of duty escort him to the brig and confine him. 
Lieutenant Mason follows the MACO as John is disappointed in his officer.

The Enterprise meets up with the U.S.S. Farragut NCC-1647 a Farragut-class vessel.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE ASTEROMETRIC'S LAB
John continues to work on decrypting the data, when Captain Kirk enters. 
FLT CAPT. KIRK: I should demote you from Captain to Commander John. 
John turns to Captain Kirk. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Jim you've got to understand that friendship comes before duty before anything else you taught me that when I was your first officer onboard this vessel remember? 
Jim leans on the console. 
FLT CAPT. KIRK: I know John but you have to understand that you could of risked losing your commission and the Enterprise, what are you doing in here and what is that on the screen? 
CAPT. BRANSON: This is the real information on the Wey'Tahn incident. 
FLT CAPT. KIRK: I thought Starfleet considered it closed? 
CAPT. BRANSON: The Admiralty gave up to easily I on the other hand haven't given up. 
FLT CAPT. KIRK [smiles]: Something I taught you when you were my first officer. 
CAPT. BRANSON: I am planning on showing this to Starfleet Command. 
Kirk looks at the screen. 
FLT CAPT. KIRK: Is it the real thing? 
John turns to him. 
CAPT. BRANSON: I checked it before I left Arcamon its the real thing, here I'll show you something I'll compare the so called information we have currently with what I have right here. 
The screen shows the two information on both sides. 
CAPT. BRANSON: This is the data from the incident and this is the data that I got from Kyle watch this. 
Captain Branson inputs commands into the console and the screen deletes the false data and the original data turns green, as Kirk is amazed by what he's seeing on the screen and then turns to John. 
FLT CAPT. KIRK [confused]: What happened to the data? 
CAPT. BRANSON: It was pushed aside by the real data and this is what I saw while on the surface sir the core was at 100% it was an easy fix for Kyle and his team, I hope to show this the Admirals and convince them to reopen Kyle's trial. 
FLT CAPT. KIRK (sighs): I don't know John but if anyone can do its you. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Thanks Jim.

The Enterprise is next to the Farragut.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
On the wall monitor shows Starfleet Command briefing room Admirals Ozawa, Halsey, Terral, Shukar, Drake, Gorch are around the table. 
CAPT. BRANSON: As you all can see is that this data was falsified by someone and my guess is Section Thirty-One. 
FLT ADM. OZAWA [monitor]: Why would Section 31 try to frame Commander Clarkson? 
FLT CAPT. KIRK: John believes that they didn't want him to squeal on them that's why they infected him with the neural parasite. 
ADM. TERRAL [monitor]: Logic dictates that we find out why they did that 
VICE ADM. SHUKAR [monitor]: I don't know Captain he didn't save over one thousand twelve hundred and nine Andorian men, women, and children my own flesh and blood were distingrated in a matter of seconds
VICE ADM. HALSEY [monitor]: Shukar calm down we're allies we have to consider revaluating Mister Clarkson's trial
REAR ADM. DRAKE [monitor]: I don't agree with this at all he deserved to be punished for what he did
CAPT. BRANSON: THAT'S MY FRIEND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! 
Captain Kirk calms him down. 
FLT CAPT. KIRK: John, calm down. 
REAR ADM. DRAKE [monitor]: Watch your tone with me Captain or you'll be transporting grain to Sherman's Planet
John was about to say something else but Kirk brings him back down from his frustration. 
REAR ADM. DRAKE [monitor]: It's too risky to look at Mister Clarkson's case we're still recovering from the pressure of the Andorian Ambassador when it happened
CAPT. BRANSON: So what is Kyle suppose to do in the meantime Starfleet is all he knows and you four don't know what he's been through to get to where he was when he was apart of Starfleet, he had to join due to his family losing the farm on Earth this is all he knows and all he loves if you turn your backs on him now then what was the Federation founded for anyway? 
CUT TO:
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE DECK 6 BRIG AREA
Jack is sitting on the cot in the brig when the doors opened and Stephanie enters. 
JACK: I thought I wasn't allowed visitors? 
STEPHANIE: I was able to convince Commander Ivanova to allow me to come see you. 
JACK: Steph I am so sorry I never meant for this to happen. 
STEPHANIE: I thought I knew you Jack you betrayed this ship and for what so you can be apart of Section Thirty-One? 
Jack gets up from the cot and walks up to the force field. 
JACK: Its not like that Steph believe me. 
STEPHANIE: I wish I could Jack but after this I don't know anymore. 
JACK: I wish I could tell the Captain more but I can't I'm under orders. 
STEPHANIE: He's our commanding officer not whoever has this tight grip on your soul!

CAPT.

Both Kirk and Branson are at the desk.
JIM: You shouldn't of flew off the handle like that at Admiral Drake John.
John turns to him.
JOHN: What was I suppose to do just sit there and let her bash Kyle and call him a traitor?
JIM: No that's not what I am saying and you know that John.
John sits back in the chair.
JOHN [sighs]: What am I going to do now?
Kirk paces about thinking then comes up with an idea.
JIM: Let me take a copy of the data with me to Starfleet Command I'll try to convince the Admirals to reopen his case.
John downloads a copy of it to two chips and hands Jim the chip.
JOHN: Good luck Jim.
JIM (nods): Thanks
He leaves the ready room.

CAPT. BRANSON: Jack what is going on why were you contacting Section Thirty-One? 
LT. MASON: I can't say sir but all I know is that they're looking for Commander Clarkson, and that you have my word. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Your word isn't worth a lot at the moment. 
Captain Branson inputs commands into the panel and deactivates the force field and enters the cell. 
CAPT. BRANSON: The Jack Mason I know would give his life before committing treason. 
Jack quickly gets up. 
LT. MASON: I'm not working with the Romulan Star Empire if that's what you're saying sir. 
CAPT. BRANSON: I know you've been in contact with Section Thirty-One but who apart of the group are you contacting giving our positions and information, not to mention information on the trial? You've betrayed everything that uniform stands for. 
LT. MASON: Captain, There are some obligations that go beyond my loyalty to you and this crew. 
Captain Branson folds his arms. 
CAPT. BRANSON: What the hell does that mean? 
Jack sits back down on the cot. 
LT. MASON (sighs): I can't say anymore. 
CAPT. BRANSON: You haven't said much of anything. You've told me a lot about your father, his years in the Navy. Their tradition of honor and service. How do you think he'll react when he learns you're facing court-martial? 
LT. MASON: I-I don't know. 
John leaves the cot and the force field reactivates and he leaves the brig area as Jack hangs his head.
