LTJG. MASON: Phaser upgrades are back on-line.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA (surprised): Already?
LTJG. MASON (acknowledges): We have begun power supply calibration.
Commander Ivanova looks at him.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA (Smiles): You're just too damned efficient, Lieutenant.
LTJG. MASON (nods): Thank you Commander.
Commander Ivanova picks up another PADD.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Continue with the testing Mister Mason, (hands him a PADD) Here's the final schedule for shore leave and personnel transfers.

INT-STARFLEET COMMAND, BRIEFING ROOM
A close of a screen that shows Outpost Four before its destruction, as the camera shows Captain Branson sitting in chair.
CAPT. BRANSON: As soon as we arrived at the outpost there was a lot of debris in area.
Commander Daryl Smith brother of both Lieutenant Julia Smith and Captain Jessica Smith picks up a PADD.
CMDR. SMITH (re: PADD): According to your chief science officer Lieutenant T'Lar the station was subjected to intense plasma bombardment.
CAPT. BRANSON: That's correct.
REAR ADM. TUCKER: When the Romulan vessel decloaked why didn't you fire on it?
CAPT. BRANSON: We weren't in weapons range yet and I asked if Commander Al-Salah had phasers to fire upon the enemy vessel, and he told me that he didn't cause the phaser crews were dead I then ordered Lieutenant Smith to hail the enemy vessel to make a challenge to get its attention on us but the vessel ignored us and destroyed the outpost.
Commodore Kirk just sits there.
FLEET ADM. OZAWA: Captain we questioned your wife on her report of the events and she said that you wanted to disable the Romulan vessel.
CAPT. BRANSON: That's correct ma'am.
The Admirals looked at each other confused.
VICE ADM. HALSEY: W-Why?
CAPT. BRANSON: I wanted to establish a dialogue with the enemy and hopefully end the conflict without further bloodshed.
REAR ADM. TUCKER (frustrated): But it didn't end without bloodshed your father's after action report, half of his battlegroup was lost in the engagement against the Romulan battlegroup and the Enterprise sustained damage due to an unexpected disabling of vessels warp drive resulting in me ordering 14 ships to cover the Enterprise so she can get her warp drive back on-line and three Shepard-class frigates were destroyed did I leave anything out Captain?
CAPT. BRANSON: No, sir you didn't.
Admiral Tucker calms down.
FLEET ADM. OZAWA: We'll reconvene at 1550hrs.
CUT TO:
INT-STARFLEET COMMAND, COMMODORE KIRK'S OFFICE
Both Commodore Kirk and Captain Branson are in his office.
CAPT. BRANSON: A hearing due to my command choices at the Romulan Neutral Zone incursion are you kidding me?
Kirk turns to him.
COMM. KIRK: You've done a lot of good out there John but sooner or later this was coming to back to bite you in the ass.
CAPT. BRANSON: I wish it was later.
Jim walks over to his desk.
COMM. KIRK (smiles): I don't blame you for saying that.
John leans back in the chair.
CAPT. BRANSON: So what's going to happen?
COMM. KIRK (sighs): I'm not sure but if I know Admiral Tucker as well as I do he might suggest removing you from command of the Enterprise, and assigning you to a planet side assignment or a Starbase command assignment.
John is shocked by that.

Jessica is freaking out a bit.
JESSICA: I can't believe that this happening.
John turns to her.
JOHN: Your report was read to me by Admiral Ozawa.
JESSICA: Yeah they interviewed me the second the Yorktown was towed into dry-dock by the Dominion and Republic.
John gets up as Jessica looks at him.
JESSICA (confused): You don't think that my report?
Jessica walks over to him.
JESSICA: John I love you and I would never hurt you or never take the Enterprise from you, cause you worked so hard to earn her and you were chosen by Kirk to replace him as Captain.
John holds his wife.
JOHN (sighs): Sorry its just this whole situation has me steamed at the moment.
JESSICA: I know honey I'm sorry.
John and Jessica as they're about to kiss the door bell chimes.
JESSICA: That must be Kyle he was in town and I had him and Anne come over to have dinner with us.
Jessica opens the door as Anne, Bud, and Kyle are wearing regular clothes and they walk into the house.

JOHN: I heard what happened between you and Jamie Jessica told me about it.
KYLE [sighs]: It came as a shock to me as well but if she want to take a break then who am I to try to stop her?
JOHN: Have you been able to get back on any Starfleet vessels?
Kyle drinks his scotch.
KYLE: I keep getting denied by every Starship Captain in the fleet.
John looks at him.
JOHN: Kyle what Starship Captain's has been rejecting you I mean you're a brilliant engineer you know more about engines then anyone besides Commander Scott.
KYLE: Captain Carter, Captain Brousseau, Captain St. James, Captain Bishop, Captain Ramses.
JOHN: Damn, and I teamed up with Captain Brousseau a year ago defending Caernarvon IV from the Klingons.
JESSICA: Food is ready.
Both John and Kyle head into the kitchen.

LT. MASON: I've got a security team going through the weapons control room to see what happened.
DR. CARLSON: Don't worry Jack we'll take good care of her.

LT. CLARKSON: Who hasn't read what happened at the Romulan Neutral Zone border, you did a lot of good there keeping the Romulans from destroying more of our outposts.
Captain Branson stops as Lieutenant Clarkson turns to him.
LT. CLARKSON: John are you alright?
CAPT. BRANSON: The Admiralty are thinking about removing me from command because of my command decisions at the Neutral Zone border.
Kyle walks over to him.
LT. CLARKSON (shocked): W-What why you did everything right to defend the Federation from a possible Romulan invasion, they should be giving you a medal for that.
CAPT. BRANSON (sighs): Yeah but Admiral Tucker wants me removed for my decisions.
They continue to the turbo-lift.

Lieutenant Mason and Ensign Holiday are running scans as to what caused the overload, when Captain Branson and Lieutenant Clarkson enter.

CAPT. BRANSON: I'm sure you remember Lieutenant Clarkson he's come over to take over while Stephanie is recovering from her injuries.
LT. CLARKSON: Lieutenant Mason, Ensign Holiday.

(Everyone rises and leaves the room, except Branson and Tucker.) 
CAPT. BRANSON: Admiral, I want to apologize for what I said to you the other day. I was out of line. 
REAR ADM. TUCKER: Yes you were Captain.
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm glad we can finally agree on something.
REAR ADM. TUCKER: Captain. Your actions, while being morally questionable, were necessary. I opposed your appointment as captain of Enterprise, but it's obvious now that I was wrong.
CAPT. BRANSON (surprised): Oh?
REAR ADM. TUCKER: Your wife explained the reason as to why you wanted to conduct peaceful negotiations with the Commander of the Romulan vessel, and you were defusing a situation before it became critical.
[Admiral Tucker extends his hand.]
REAR ADM. TUCKER: I am glad that Kirk chose you.
[Branson shakes his hand.]

INT-USS ENTERPRISE WEAPONS CONTROL ROOM
Repairs are almost done again as an engineer is at one of the consoles and tags it with a small device.
ENGINEER: Commander can you come and look at this?
Kyle walks over to the console.
LT. CLARKSON: What's wrong?
ENGINEER: It appears that the main phaser couplings are having issues.
[Kyle works at the console and he sees something and he removes it and sees that its a device, and deactivates it and scans it with a tricorder but then hears a phaser power up and turns to see the engineer.]

INT-USS ENTERPRISE WEAPONS CONTROL ROOM
[Kyle has his hands up as the engineer is holding him at phaser point.]
LT. CLARKSON: Who are you?
[The Engineer speaks Klingon.]
LT. CLARKSON (shocked): You're a Klingon agent like Darbass was.
ENGINEER: I did it for my people and our empire as I see you Federation dogs are still weak you couldn't even defeat a Romulan warbird.
[Then Kyle jumps him and they wrestle for the phaser as Kyle kicks him in the face, as he attempts to grab the phaser meanwhile Lieutenant Mason and two security officers are heading to support Kyle. As the hand to hand combat is going ok for Kyle who picks the phaser up and aims it at the engineer.]
LT. CLARKSON: Now tell me what the hell is going on?
[Then the doors opened and Lieutenant Mason and his security team shows up also aiming their phasers at the engineer.]
ENGINEER: All I can tell you is that my people are going to rule the entire Alpha and Beta Quadrants.
[He gets out a small dagger and stabs his arm and twists as blue veins pop out and he chants in Klingon, as Kyle realizes what he's doing and goes to a console and taps into the transporter controls and beams the engineer off the ship.]
