INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS
John gets his jacket on as Jessica walks up behind him and wraps her arms around him as he turns to hold his girlfriend.
JESSICA [sighs]: I wish that I didn't have to go.
JOHN: I know but you'll be late for the conference at Deep Space Five.
JESSICA [smiles]: I know.
They kiss as Jessica leaves the quarters.
The com activates.
CMDR. Y'NAR [com voice]: Y'Nar to bridge
CAPT. MARTIN [to com]: Martin here go ahead.
CMDR. Y'NAR [com voice]: We're receiving a hail from Starfleet Command it's Commodore Jean-Luc Picard
CAPT. MARTIN: Patch him through.
John walks over to his desk and sits at it and activates the desktop monitor as the screen shows the office aboard Picard's flagship the U.S.S. Stargazer.
CAPT. MARTIN: Jean-Luc what can I do for you?
COMM. PICARD [monitor]: John, we've been invited by the New Romulan Senate to negotiate the potential of peace between the Federation and Romulan Empire, I know the last time the Enterprise was invited the Reman overthrew the Romulan Senate but this time we're hoping it will be different
CAPT. MARTIN [sighs]: Jean-Luc I don't know if this is a good idea but if it will stop the chance of the Romulans being a threat I am all for it.
COMM. PICARD [monitor]: Keep me posted Picard out
Transmission ends as John is worried.

CAPT. MARTIN [nods]: Very well then dismissed.
The senior staff leaves except for Commander Y'Nar.
CAPT. MARTIN: Something on your mind Y'Nar?
CMDR. Y'NAR: This sounds like a bunch of crap John the Romulans are now wanting peace with us after harassing our ships and outposts?
CAPT. MARTIN: I know Y'Nar but if this will end the conflict them I'm all for it and so is Starfleet Command we'll take every precaution to make sure nothing happens.

VULCAN AMBASSADOR T'MAR: Praetor Tal'Aura same here I hope that we can come to an understanding between the Federation and Romulus.
PRAETOR TAL'AURA: We shall see.
They walk to the meeting room as T'Mar turns to Captain Martin.
VULCAN AMBASSADOR T'MAR: I'll speak with the General and Praetor and we'll see where we are at.
Martin is reluctant...he makes one last attempt.
CAPT. MARTIN [quietly]: Ambassador, I must once again urge you to reconsider. The Enterprise can accommodate a Romulan delegation without sacrificing security or---

CAPT. MARTIN: Understandable T'Mar its just we're here without Starfleet support, and it makes me feel worried about a possible ambush it would give the Romulans a chance to board the Enterprise and attempt to take her over.
T'Mar raises an eyebrow.

Y'Nar turns to him.
CMDR. Y'NAR: John, it wasn't the Vulcan Ambassador I heard him speak Romulan to Commander S'Lok.
CAPT. MARTIN: I know you're feeling a bit under pressure due to us being in Romulan space, I feel the same way but as of right now if it ends a war before it starts then I'm all for it we'll take every precaution.

LTCMDR. T'MIR: It's very faint but it's near the fourth moon of Romulus.
CAPT. MARTIN: What do you think it could be?
