ADM. JANEWAY: John.
They shook hands.
CAPT. MARTIN: Admiral Janeway welcome aboard.
ADM. JANEWAY: I'm sure you know Admirals Picard and Ozawa.
John nods at the two Admirals.
CAPT. MARTIN: Admiral, what's going on?
ADM. JANEWAY: We've got word that the House of Duras is amassing a fleet of Klingon and Romulan vessels to attack Oralan station.
CMDR. RO: This deep in Federation Space?
REAR ADM. PICARD: Yes, Commander Ro its true John Epsilon 9 has intercepted and decrypted a battle plan that will turn your blood cold.
CAPT. MARTIN: What are our orders?
FLT ADM. OZAWA: We've called every available Starfleet vessel to come here to defend this station it appears that they know of the T'kon artifacts that both the Horizon and Resolute were researching.
CMDR. RO: If they get those they'd be more powerful and would be able to takeover the Klingon Empire.
Then Chief Mackenzie reports.
CHIEF MACKENZIE: Captain the Resolute has reported that Captain Rydek is ready to beam aboard.
CAPT. MARTIN: Energize.
Chief Mackenzie activates the transporter and Captain Jara Rydek materialized on the transporter pad.
CAPT. MARTIN [smiles]: Jara, its good to see you again.
Captain Rydek steps off the pad.
CAPT. RYDEK: Same here John and congrats on getting your fourth pip.
CAPT. MARTIN: Thanks Jara, I worked hard to get it and seems you did as well.
Jara rubs her four pips on her collar remembering how she got the fourth one but kept her cool.
CMDR. RO: Captain Rydek you studied the T'kon artifacts what can you tell us?
CAPT. RYDEK [tenses up]: All I can tell you is that if they got ahold of them there'd be no stopping Toral or S'Lok.

CAPT. MARTIN: Dad, I feel like I am out of my element here.
REAR ADM. MARTIN [monitor]: How so?
CAPT. MARTIN: Ever since the war I've not been in a huge fleet battle let alone command a battlegroup of ships.
REAR ADM. MARTIN [monitor]: John, if Admiral Ozawa believes that you can do then so do I and you were mentored by Picard and Sisko, so that's got to be some advantage there
CAPT. MARTIN: True.
REAR ADM. MARTIN [monitor]: So what's the situation?
CAPT. MARTIN [sighs]: So far we've not detected any Romulan or Klingon vessels approaching but they've probably modified their cloaks so we can't detect them similar to how that combined Romulan-Cardassian battlegroup did when they tried to halt the invasion of the Dominion back in 2371.
REAR ADM. MARTIN [monitor]: I'm on my way with some reinforcements but it'll be a few hours before we arrive
CAPT. MARTIN: I understand dad.
