CAPT. BRANSON: Report Z how goes the patrol?
Commander Ivanova looks over at him.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: I'm bored out of my mind right now John, a six week patrol isn't what I had in mind.
She vacates the Captain's chair as Captain Branson sits in it.
CAPT. BRANSON: I agree with you Z but Starfleet wants to keep an eye on the Klingons.
Commander Ivanova turns to him.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: I thought we were suppose to be on a five-year mission not patrol?
He turns to her.
CAPT. BRANSON: Five ships have vanished along the border within the past few days Z and Starfleet wants to know why and how each ship has been along this route and then poof nothing.
Commander T'Shara reports.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Not even a signal beacon or debris fields or escape pods.
Lieutenant Mason turns to them.
LT. MASON: One isn't strange, two could be a cause for alarm, three switch to Yellow alert.
Branson turns to him.

Enterprise is at impulse speed.
IN-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
The crew are all at their stations.
CAPT. BRANSON: Status report?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Sensors are still clear sir.
Branson leans forward.
CAPT. BRANSON (Sighs): Lieutenant Smith hail Starfleet Command and inform them that we've still not found the five missing ships and request further orders.
LT. SMITH: Aye, sir.
Branson gets up from the Captain's chair and walks in front of the helm and navigation stations.
CAPT. BRANSON (Sighs):Where are they then? Mister Mitchell triangulate the last known position of the fifth vessel to go missing and set course, Ensign Carlson engage impulse engines.
LT. MITCHELL: Aye, sir.
LT. CARLSON: Aye, sir.
Both officers work together then Lieutenant Smith reports.

VICE ADM. NOGURA (Monitor): Captain Branson how goes the search for the five missing ships?
CAPT. BRANSON (Sighs): Slow going there's nothing no distress beacons, escape pods or debris its just like with the last four vessels that vanished as well its very strange sir.
VICE ADM. NOGURA (Monitor): I've spoken with Fleet Captain Garth a battlegroup is on its way, but at maximum warp it will be at least an hour away
Captain Branson leans forward.
CAPT. BRANSON (Sighs): Understood sir what are our orders in the meantime?
Nogura interlaces his fingers and leans forward.
VICE ADM. NOGURA (Monitor): Continue wit the search, and keep me posted on your progress
CAPT. BRANSON (nods): Aye, sir.

Enterprise is at impulse speed.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
The crew are at their stations working to find the missing freighters.
LT. MITCHELL (Sighs): This is boring we've not found the missing ships for at least an hour, surely we would of found something from them like survivors or debris fields.
Commander T'Shara is at her scanner and then reports.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Sensor scans are still negative Commander.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA (Sighs): Very well then set course for another search pattern engage.

The Enterprise is still searching for the five missing vessels.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [YELLOW ALERT]
Captain Branson is sitting in the Captain's Chair.
CAPT. BRANSON: Anything T'Shara?
T'Shara checks her scanners then reports.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Sensor scans still negative sir.
Captain Branson leans back in his chair.
CAPT. BRANSON (Frustrated): You've got to be kidding me, we've got reports of missing freighters and yet we can't find anything?
T'Shara turns to him.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: We're near the Cormwell Nebula sensor readings maybe thrown off by the dense cloud.
LT. MASON: Cromwell nebula as in the Cromwell incident?
CAPT. BRANSON (Shocked): Ah hell, Yellow alert shields up T'Shara full sensor scans for any cloaked vessels, this is where Commodore Grissom was ambushed by an unknown vessel. Julia inform Starfleet where we're at and also still no sign of the five missing Federation freighters.
LTJG. SMITH: Aye, sir.
Ivanova walks over to Branson.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: John if this is the nebula where the Dominion was ambushed and attacked, then someone is using it to hide.
Branson leans towards her.
CAPT. BRANSON: And if that's true so maybe that's where the five missing vessels went to cut their journeys to and from Starbase, Kara take us into the nebula one-quarter impulse.
LT. CARLSON: Aye, sir.
Lieutenant Carlson inputs commands into the helm station.
EXT-FEDERATION-KLINGON NEUTRAL ZONE BORDER
Enterprise enters the nebula.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE [YELLOW ALERT]

Captain Branson taps the right arm rest of the Captain's chair.
CAPT. BRANSON: T'Shara anything?
Commander T'Shara checks her sensor scope.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Negative sir.
Captain Branson sits in the Captain's chair.
CAPT. BRANSON: Maintain sensor scans.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Aye, sir.
Then Lieutenant Mitchell reports.
LT. MITCHELL: Uh, sir I just did a navigational scan we're on approach for the Klingon Neutral Zone border.
CAPT. BRANSON [shocked]: What? Kara bring us about!
LT. CARLSON: Aye, sir.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Sir three Klingon vessels decloaking!
Transparent viewer shows a D7-class warbird decloaking flanked by two B'rel-class warbirds.
LT. MASON: Their disruptors are on hot standby!
CAPT. BRANSON (tensed up): RED ALERT!
Lights dimmed and klaxons blare as red lights flash on all decks the crew head to their battle stations.
LT. SMITH: All decks report ready sir, we're being hailed by the lead cruiser.
CAPT. BRANSON: On screen.
The Klingon symbol appears on the transparent viewer.
CAPT. BRANSON: This is John Branson Captain of the Federation Starship U.S.S. Enterprise, we're on a search and rescue mission we mean you no harm.
The symbol changed to the bridge of the warbird.
CMDR. K'MOCK [viewer]: I am Commander K'Mock of the IKS Vorn you've crossed into the Neutral Zone which is a violation of the treaty that was set upon us by the Organians, please explain your reasoning for this violation!
CAPT. BRANSON: As I stated we're engaged in a search and rescue mission five of our vessels have been missing along the border.
CMDR. K'MOCK [viewer]: Really Captain if you think that we had anything to do with what happened to your vessels then you've got another thing coming in your puny human brain, and how dare you insult the Imperial Empire!
Captain Branson does the throat slashing gesture and Lieutenant Smith mutes the audio.
LT. SMITH: Audio muted sir.
CAPT. BRANSON: Comments?
Ivanova comments.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: He's very prideful and was insulted when you accused the Klingons of causing the disappearance of five freighters.
Captain Branson turns to her.
CAPT. BRANSON: Each freighter has gone missing within the last few months along the border, and if its not the Klingons then who?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: The commander has been acting highly annoyed at our presence along the Zone.
Branson thinks.
CAPT. BRANSON: Lieutenant resume audio.
LT. SMITH: Aye, sir.
Lieutenant Smith reactivates audio.
CAPT. BRANSON: We will comply when I have determined the cause of the disappearances of our freighters wasn't caused by you, and when I am fully satisfied that you were not responsible Branson out.
Transmission ends and the viewer shows the Vorn and her escorts cloaking.
LT. MASON: They've reengaged their cloaking devices sir.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Good. They can't fire when they're cloaked.
Branson goes to the Captain's chair and sits in it.
CAPT. BRANSON: Lieutenant bring her around 180 degrees and get us out of the Zone, seeing how that we're not going to find the freighters in here.
LT. CARLSON: Aye, sir.
Lieutenant Carlson inputs commands into the helm station.
