LTCMDR. IVANOVA [scoffs]: Oh please I feel fine.
She tries to get up but she holds her stomach soothing in pain and lays back down.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA [groans]: This time Steven, I'm not going to argue with you.
Doctor Carlson goes back to another wounded officer as John walks close to the bio-bed.
JOHN: Z, I'm really sorry you got hurt. 
Z: Hey, it's all part of the adventure of space travel, right?
JOHN [sighs]: I know but if I didn't have you down there when that plasma torpedo hit us.
Z: John, you are the Captain it was my choice to go down there and repair the weapons we needed them if that warbird decided to uncloak and take shots at us.

Captain Branson sits in his ready room shocked at what was told to him as the doors chimed.
CAPT. BRANSON: Come.
Doors opened and Lieutenant Mason enters holding a PADD.
LT. MASON: The phaser upgrades are on-line.
CAPT. BRANSON [surprised]: Already?
LT. MASON [nods]: We have begun power supply calibration. 
CAPT. BRANSON [smiles]: You're just too damned efficient, Lieutenant. 
LT. MASON (nods): Thank you Captain. 
CAPT. BRANSON [re: PADD]: Continue with the testing Mister Mason, (hands him a PADD) Here's the final schedule for shore leave and personnel transfers. 
Lieutenant Mason takes the PADD and leaves the ready room as John looks at the other PADD showing the time for his debriefing at Starfleet Command.
CUT TO:
INT-STARBASE WARDROOM
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 did you fire on it?
CAPT. BRANSON: Yes, sir with a full volley of photons but they weren't effective against their deflectors, I then ordered Lieutenant Smith to make a challenge to the vessel to divert its attention away from the outpost but it ignored our hails and destroyed the outpost.
The Admirals look at each other as Admiral Perry looks at the PADD.
REAR ADM. PERRY: Captain we questioned Fleet Captain Kirk on his report of the events and he 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 the Enterprise sustained damage due to an unexpected disabling of vessels warp drive resulting in Kirk ordering 14 automated mining vessels to cover the Enterprise so she can get her warp drive back on-line and three automatic freighters were destroyed did I leave anything out Captain? 
CAPT. BRANSON: No, sir you didn't. 
Admiral Tucker calms down. 
VICE ADM. HALSEY: We'll reconvene at 1530 hours dismissed.

Both John and Kirk are in his office as John's pacing about.
CAPT. BRANSON: I can't believe this is happening.
FLT CAPT. KIRK: John I know how you feel about this but the Admiralty only informed me after they towed the Farragut back here.
John looks at him.
JOHN: How can they be acting like I did something terrible.
JIM: I don't think you did anything wrong John.
John sits in a chair thinking.
JOHN: What's going to happen if they rule on the decision?
JIM [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: Me either Jim's report was read to me by Admiral Ozawa.

They look at the station. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: You know a funeral was held for Robert we didn't see you there. 
They work on the console. 
LTJG. MARTINE: Yeah I was visiting my parents for a few days. 
She goes to one of the other stations. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Captain Branson had to inform his parents what happened to him. 
Martine looks at the console still. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Angela take a break you've been in here helping for the last few weeks. 
LTJG. MARTINE (sighs): Alright, I'll take a few minutes to relax. 
She leaves the weapons control room, Commander Williams works on the consoles and she looks at the read out and starts working on what she discovered but a huge shower of sparks erupt from the ceiling and consoles as support beams fall and klaxons blare as the camera pans down to Commander Williams who's wounded.

DR. CARLSON: Again.
She gives her another dose.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [gasps for air]: W-What happened?

Captain Branson enters and walks over to Doctor Carlson.
CAPT. BRANSON: How is she?
DR. CARLSON [sighs]: Another patient snatched from the jaws of death and she's lucky to be alive.
CAPT. BRANSON: How long will she be out?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: I'm ready to go Captain.
DR. CARLSON: No you're not Commander you almost died from second degree burns to your lungs.

CAPT. BRANSON: I'm sure you read what happened? 
LTCMDR. 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 Commander Clarkson turns to him. 
LTCMDR. 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. 
LTCMDR. 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.

INT-USS ENTERPRISE WEAPONS CONTROL ROOM (BATTLE DAMAGED)
Lieutenant Mason and Ensign Holiday are running scans as to what caused the overload, when Captain Branson and Commander Clarkson enter.

LT. MASON: So far we've not found the cause of what caused the overload we've got over this place with a fine toothcomb, I will take the scans that we took back to the security office and run a full scan. 
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm sure you remember Commander Clarkson he's come over to takeover while Stephanie is recovering from her injuries. 
LTCMDR. 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: Captain Kirk 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.
