CAPT. BRANSON: Scan it.
T'Shara scans the cargo vessel and reports.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: They have a full hold of Kemocite ore.
CMDR. IVANOVA: They should know that its illegal?
LTCMDR. FULTON: We've got the element of surprise we should take them now. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Protocol dictates we wait till we can get a good reading on what they're mining. 
Commander Fulton leans on the rail. 
LTCMDR. FULTON: You are here at the request of my superiors Captain who are in charge of keeping this sector of space free of Orion Pirates and other bad guys, so either go for the attack now or I'll assume command on the authority of my superiors. 
Lieutenant Mason turns to Captain Branson.

CAMPBELL: You wanna talk about filing reports? I could file a report about you and your colleague. What's his name? Tyson. I could tell John Branson all about that little romance. 
JULIIA: There is nothing to tell. 
CAMPBELL: Yeah? Then why are you blushing? Now, why don't we just chill out and, you know get friendly? You really are cute.
He attempts to unzip her uniform jacket but she knees him in the balls.

LT. MITCHELL [sotto]: What are you doing here you didn't board the cargo vessel.
LT. SMITH [sotto]: I'm taking precaution and there maybe a chance that I did become infected with the virus.
LT. MITCHELL (Confused): What sort of contact?
LT. SMITH [sotto]: I've already briefed Commander Ivanova of the situation its best that I don't discuss it.

CMDR. IVANOVA: There's also something else Julia believes that Mister Fulton made unwanted advances on her that's how I think she got the virus.
CAPT. BRANSON: Are you tell me that she was raped?
CMDR. IVANOVA: No she stopped it before it happened but she did say he touched her and it made her uncomfortable and she was afraid of the drawback of the situation.
CAPT. BRANSON: I need answers have Fulton come here.
Captain Branson paces about as Fulton is standing in front of him.
LTCMDR. FULTON: We heard a noise we went to the aft section and before we knew what happened we hit the asteroid and the support beam fell on top of him.
CAPT. BRANSON: And that's all?
LTCMDR. FULTON: Yeah that's all.
Branson leans on the rail.
CAPT. BRANSON: I've come across something that you assaulted a member of my crew.
LTCMDR. FULTON [folds his arms, snickers]: Really now come on Captain you really don't believe.....
Captain Branson grabs him by his collar and pins him against the bulkhead.
CAPT. BRANSON [Frustrated]: If I find out that you hurt her or any member of my crew you'll be the one taking Tyson's place!
He releases Fulton and goes back to the aft compartment as Fulton fixes his uniform collar.

LT. SMITH: You wouldn't do that Commander cause if you do I will tell him what really happened on this ship before it crashed into the rock.
LTCMDR. FULTON: Like I told Captain Branson we heard a noise and before we knew it we hit the asteroid.

LT. MITCHELL [Groggy from the sedatives]: Y-You wanna cut my leg off?
CAPT. BRANSON: Its not my first option believe me but we're out of them and the Klingons will be here in an hour.
