Enterprise is at warp.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN ENGINEERING
Captain Branson and Commander Clarkson are walking through the engine room as Kyle is complaining.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON [frustrated]: Does Starfleet know that we did a double duty out there today we not only stopped an invasion force but we also tractored a damaged Saladin-Class vessel back to port, and not to mention we had requests to overhaul the warp coils we've been using them alot these past few weeks and I wanted to make sure that there not going to blow up on us when you give the order to warp.
CAPT. BRANSON: Kyle?
LTCMDR. CLARKSON [still ranting]: Not to mention the power relays on deck twenty-two are on the frizz again.
CAPT. BRANSON: Kyle?
LTCMDR. CLARKSON [still ranting]: Life-support relays need to be replaces along the with the CO2 scrubbers need to be repaired we're looking at two to three months in dock.
CAPT. BRANSON: KYLE! I understand that you want to get the Enterprise back to the nearest starbase but we can't do that at the moment because we've been ordered to defend a important sector from the Klingons, and as soon as the war is over I'll see what I can do for you.
Captain Branson leaves Engineering as Commander Williams pats Kyle on the shoulder.

JOHN (sighs): I hate to tell this Jess but we've been ordered to alter course for Sector 2454 along the Klingon border.
Jessica leans back on the table in her ready room and folds her arms.
JESSICA (holographic form): Really? Come on John you did three engagements for the past two weeks your crew has got to be worn out from these battles without a break
JOHN: Believe me we're all worn out Jessica but we've got our orders and we are going to follow them to the letter, and we'll eventually get to the Starbase and we'll spend time with each other.
JESSICA (holographic form): I know John just be careful and I love you
JOHN (smiles): I love you to sweetie.

CAPT. BRANSON [to com]: This is Captain Branson. We have one job: Defend this sector from the Klingons at all cost, squadrons three and four will be the front line of defense against the Klingon fleet. You will lead the attack and draw their fire to give us the time we need. Enterprise will maintain fire on the fleet to cause distraction as long as we can, All shuttles and pods, use attack formation Gamma Six. Squadrons one and three, coordinate positions to disrupt and target all main enemy vessels. This is Starfleet. Get it done Branson out.
LT. SMITH: All ships are responding sir.
Captain Branson turns to T'Lar.
CAPT. BRANSON: T'Lar maintain sensor scans out for Klingon vessels.
LTCMDR. T'LAR: Aye, sir.

CAPT. BRANSON: Come.

CMDR. IVANOVA: Captain we've got a full report on the Klingon forces.
CAPT. BRANSON [re: PADD]: Damn they're on the move towards our position they'll be here in under three hours at maximum warp that doesn't give us alot of time to prepare to engage them Z.
Then doors chimed.
CAPT. BRANSON: Come.
Doors opened and Lieutenant Commander Clarkson enters as well.
CAPT. BRANSON: Kyle what's up?
LTCMDR. CLARKSON [re: PADD]: The update on the repairs to the warp coils they gave out as soon as we dropped out of warp.
CMDR. IVANOVA: So we can't go to warp?
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: Not till we repair them ourselves or we get into space dock via towing.
Captain Branson sits in the chair behind his desk disappointed.
CAPT. BRANSON: Aw man that's something that Steph isn't going to like she doesn't like having any ship she's chief engineer on getting a tow back to base she considers it a dishonor to have a Starfleet vessel towed.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: I haven't told her the extensive of the damage to the coils yet I wanted to inform you first.
CMDR. IVANOVA: She'll know when she checks on them.
Then com activates.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [com voice]: Williams to Clarkson Kyle the damn coils are disabled
Kyle presses the com panel.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON [to com]: I'm on my way back Commander.
He ends the transmission and leaves.
CMDR. IVANOVA [smiles]: Seems like those two are getting along.

LTCMDR. T'LAR: I have a bit of a headache.
Doctor Carlson gets his medical tricorder and runs his scans on his wife.
DR. CARLSON: Hm, its a mild headache probably because we've been on assignment for the past few weeks which I wish the Captain would ask Starfleet to reassign the Enterprise from the frontlines.
LTCMDR. T'LAR: Steven it is our duty to be on call for Starfleet.
DR. CARLSON: I know its just that we've been fighting alot and we finished towing a damage Saladin-Class destroyer that took bad hits from a Klingon warship, and I had to treat five crewmen with radiation burns and second to fourth degree burns from damage relays.
LTCMDR. T'LAR: True but logic dictates that we try our best to win the war with the Klingons.
Doctor Carlson injects T'Lar with a hypospray.
DR. CARLSON: I've given you a mild sedative to help with the pain.

LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: My engineering teams are ready for any damage or hull breaches that need to be sealed.
Captain Branson looks at his senior staff.
CAPT. BRANSON [sighs]: I know that we were suppose to be at Starbase Six relaxing and resting after engagements with the Klingons and saving ships in distress, but we've got a job to do and we're going to show these Klingons that we mean business dismissed.
The senior staff leaves the briefing room as John leans on the table.
CMDR. IVANOVA: You alright John?
CAPT. BRANSON: Yes I'm just worn out and tired with all these engagements and saving ships I've not been getting alot of sleep.
