FEDERATION AMBASSADOR PETERSON: Look if you can just contact Starfleet Commander I'm sure they'll...
The leader hits him with the butt of his weapon.
MADAM PRESIDENT MARTIN: Alright hey easy there.
Then the Marines show up and train their particle rifles at the rebels.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: I'm Una Chin-Riley First officer of the Federation Starship U.S.S. Enterprise, we're here to save these people from you and if you don't allow us to take them back to our ship. I'll be forced to call in an orbital bombardment of this area do you really want to die?
The rebels still have their weapons trained on them.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Jack, show them we mean them no harm.
LT. MASON: Aye, Commander.
Lieutenant Mason lowers his particle rifle and turns it off as the blue light shuts off.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: Colonel tell your men to power down their rifles.
COL. HUNTER: Commander you're nuts if we do that they'll kill us.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: No they want cause they know if the Enterprise doesn't detect our bio-signs, they'll fire at them.
COL. HUNTER [Sighs]: Stand down boys.
The rest of the team powers down their rifles as the rebels stand their weapons down, and Lieutenant Mason takes the Federation delegates to the dropship as the team backs up but not taking their eyes off the rebels as they board the dropship and it takes off heads back up to space.

CAPT. MARTIN: How are they?
Doctor Carlson closes the medical scanner.
DR. CARLSON: A few of them have been roughed up by the rebels and she's got a mild concussion but she'll make a full recovery.

DANIELLE: Thanks John.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM

LT. MASON: You took a chance down there Commander.
CMDR. CHIN-RILEY: I know.
John looks at them.
CAPT. MARTIN: Commander you wanna talk to me about that bow thruster.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Yes, sir.
CAPT. MARTIN: You let me down on that. Techs were supposed to look at it on Tuesday.

CAPT. MARTIN: I've spoken to Starfleet Command and persuaded them to give us an op relief.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: That'll be very helpful.

TYSON: Hi look, Julia, you can't hide from me forever.
Julia looks at him.
JULIA: We've got nothing to talk about.
TYSON: Yes we do.
JULIA: What are you doing here?
TYSON: When Admiral Austin came to me about a posting aboard Enterprise I had to take it but if I got picky about which one, he'd get suspicious.
JULIA [scoffs]: You could've come up with something. But I guess your priorities aren't with me they're with the tactical officer and chief medical officer.
TYSON: No that's not true.
JULIA: Couldn't stand to be away from your friends?
TYSON: Julia! That is not true!
JULIA: I thought the idea of posting you off the boat was so that we, I suppose we're gonna cancel that trip to Fraser Island.
TYSON: No, no, we are not gonna cancel the trip. We do everything that we've wanted to do - we just Julia, we just have to be discreet. No-one has to know.
JULIA [scoffs]: No, you are deluded if you think that we can have a relationship on a boat this size. Even having this conversation could get us both kicked off. You know what the crazy thing is? We waited 10 times longer than it actually lasted.
She closes the doors in his face.
