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 here John, damn them with it. I'm sorry that it ends this way, but I trust your judgement. I always have. Godspeed John

John is sitting on the couch thinking about what Kyle told him.

LTCMDR. IVANOVA (com voice): I'm on my way 
He leaves his quarters.

INT-USS ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM
Doors chimed. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Come. 
Doors opened and Commander Ivanova enters. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: You wanted to see me John? 
CAPT. BRANSON (to com): Computer lock doors and disable coms to this room. 
COMPUTER VOICE: Doors sealed, com system in room disabled
CAPT. BRANSON: What I'm about to tell you Susan can't be told to the crew or it will allow whoever is trying to kill Kyle to find him, he sent a encoded message to me before he went crazy. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: You're kidding. 
He spins the desktop monitor in front of her and sits next to her in another chair in front of the desk and activates 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 John looks at Zhasa. 
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 Arcamon.
CAPT. BRANSON: No I will take a shuttle. 
She turns to face him. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA (surprise): A shuttle but we'd get their faster. 
CAPT. BRANSON: I know Z but I rather do this alone I can't ask this crew to put their lives at risk for Kyle. 
Zhasa doesn't like the sound of this... and this entire situation is starting to get under her skin. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: I always thought Starfleet was run by duty-crazed bureaucrats. 
John crosses his arms. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: But I never thought you'd be willing to go a shuttle mission without informing Starfleet Command? 
CAPT. BRANSON: You have your orders....I expect you to follow them. 
Commander Ivanova paces about. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: John, that's expecting a lot. You're asking me to abandon my Captain, and closest friend, in a chance that you will find the answers to what happened at Wey'tahn. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Z? 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: John, we know you're trying to protect us but don't we're your crew not your kids, (emphatic) Let us help you. We'll keep classified information limited to the Senior Staff... we'll take every security precaution... just don't try to do this alone. 
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...

Captain Branson is on his feet, as Commander Ivanova, Lieutenant Mason, Lieutenant Smith, Lieutenant Mitchell, Ensign Carlson, Doctor Carlson, Lieutenant Williams, and Lieutenant T'Lar are around the table, the mood is tense, filled with anticipation. 
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm sure you all are wondering why we're heading to Arcamon Science Station, its due to the events that involved Commander Clarkson and the destruction of Wey'tahn and the death of 1,209 Andorian colonist. 
LTJG. MITCHELL: But aren't we risking the Andorian's leaving the Federation if we go to Arcamon? 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: So far they don't know that he's alive. 
CAPT. BRANSON: That's right so we've got surprise on our side so till this crisis is averted don't discuss this with anyone dismissed. 
They leave the ready room.

DR. T'VER (raises an eyebrow): Interesting. 
CAPT. BRANSON: So, do you have the information? 
DR. T'VER: It is in his personal computer console. 
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?

Jack sits at his desktop monitor and puts a small device next to it. 
LTJG. MASON: Computer, send out a encoded transmission Starfleet subspace code Seven-Nine Baker. 
Desktop monitor activates and Captain Leland appears. 
CAPT. LELAND (holographic form): Report? 
LTJG. MASON: We just departed Arcamon Science Station. 
CAPT. LELAND (holographic form): Damn it that's not good if he gets that information to Starfleet Command, it will ruin our plans
LTJG. MASON: And my career. 
CAPT. LELAND (holographic form): It's a bit late to get cold feet Jack 
LTJG. MASON: I'm not certain how much longer I can keep this from the crew my wife and friends. 
CAPT. LELAND (holographic form): Tell them that the Captain may of been feeling down about failing to help his friend 
LTJG. MASON: You want me to lie? 
CAPT. LELAND (holographic form): Yes
Jack paces about and faces the holographic form of Leland. 
LTJG. MASON: I've worked closely with these people. You can trust them! 
CAPT. LELAND (holographic form): Branson is a Starfleet captain. His duty would be to report everything you tell him to Commodore Kirk. They would launch an investigation 
LTJG. MASON: How would you know if they would launch an investigation they consider the matter closed. 
CAPT. LELAND (holographic form): Because Mister Clarkson is his friend
LTJG. MASON (sighs): I'm being compromised, sir, and I don't like it. 
Leland puts his hands behind his back. 
CAPT. LELAND (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 Leland and Jack Stephanie has been listening to the whole conversation and she quietly leaves their quarters to inform Captain Branson.

CAPT. BRANSON: Ah, yes T'Lar you remember the Weytahn incident? 
LTJG. T'LAR: Yes 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 Lieutenant Williams enters. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Steph sorry but now isn't a good time. 
LTJG. 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.

CAPT. BRANSON: The mysterious databursts that T'Lar 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. 
LT. MASON: Sir I know as much as you do. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Oh I know alot of things like the fact that you use to work in covert black ops before joining my crew, and that the transmissions were traced to your quarters. 
Lieutenant Mason stands at ease. 
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm waiting Lieutenant. 
LT. MASON: Respectfully, sir, I refuse to answer any more questions.

John continues to work on decrypting the data, when Commodore Kirk enters. 
COMM. KIRK: I should demote you for disobeying my orders. 
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 the Enterprise before you took the rank of Commodore remember? 
Jim leans on the console. 
COMM. KIRK (sighs): I know John but you worked your butt off to get the Enterprise, and I don't want to see you lose her, what are you doing in here and what is that on the screen? 
CAPT. BRANSON: Its the real information.
COMM. PICARD: I thought Starfleet considered it closed? 
CAPT. BRANSON: The Admiralty gave up to easily I on the other hand haven't given up. 
COMM. 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. 
COMM. 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. 
COMM. KIRK: What happened to the other 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. 
COMM. KIRK (sighs): I don't know John but if anyone can do its you. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Thanks Jim.

On the wall monitor shows the briefing room at Starfleet Command as Admirals Terral, Drake, Shukar, Grouch, Cornwell 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.
VICE ADM. CORNWELL (monitor): Why would they want Mister Clarkson out of the way?
COMM. KIRK: John believes that they didn't want him to squeal on them that's why they infected him with the neural parasites.
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 oblirated in a matter of seconds
ADM. GORCH (monitor): My people has no issues with Mister Clarkson
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!
COMM. PIKE
John its alright.
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 Pike 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?
The Admirals all look at each other.

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.

CAPT. BRANSON'S (voice over): Captain's Log Supplemental, I thought trying to convince the Admiralty of Kyle's innocents would be easy but it turns out that its not that easy to convince a room full of brass who are overprotective of our alliance with the Andorian Empire, I know I shouldn't be a jerk about it but he's my friend and he is one of the best engineers in the fleet

JIM: No that's not what I am saying and you know that John.
John sits back in the chair.
JOHN: What am I going to do now?
Jim 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.

LTJG. 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.
LTJG. MASON: I'm not working with the Klingon 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.
LTJG. MASON: Captain, There are some obligations that go beyond my loyalty to you and this crew. 
Captain Branson crosses his arms.
CAPT. BRANSON: What the hell does that mean?
Jack sits back down on the cot.
LTJG. 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?
