EXT. SPACE
The stillness of space is disturbed by beams of DISRUPTOR FIRE that shoot across frame, followed soon by the menacing form of an ORION MARAUDER.
It's continues on course, the energy beams continuing to fire and pummel the shields of its target - the U.S.S. ENTERPRISE.
The Sovereign-class ship is taking a hammering, as TWO other Marauders, positioned to the port and starboard of the starship, fire their weapons alongside their comrades...
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - CONTINUOUS
As the ship bucks around them, the bridge crew and senior officers each valiantly try to keep their positions.
CAPT. BRANSON: Evasive maneuver delta sequence, return fire.
Both Carlson and Mason comply with the order.
On the transparent screen, the approaching Marauder pulls up and moves out of sight - but not before launching FOUR pinpricks of red that come straight for their target.
LT. MASON: Torpedo incoming!
The ship ROCKS violently. A starboard console EXPLODES, showering those closet to it with white-hot sparks. An non-com engineer quickly uses fire-suppression spray to deal with it.
LT. MASON: Deflectors down to 67% percent!
LT. SITO: Minor breach in the forward hull, there was an overload in the Deck 3 plasma junction.
CAPT. BRANSON: Continue evasive maneuvers and returning fire.
LT. CARLSON: Trying, sir, but they're a lot faster and smaller then us, it gives them the advantage.
CAPT. BRANSON: Understood. What's their tactical status?
LT. MASON: We're inflicting our fair share of damage on them, but they're working in concert to allow one to take pot shots at us, while the others lay down covering fire.
LTCMDR. T'MIR: We're inflicting our fair share of damage on them, but they're working in concert to allow one to take pot shots at us, while the others lay down covering fire.
CAPT. BRANSON: Options?
CMDR. RO: I think we should get the hell out of here.
Mason's head SNAPS UP from his controls, stunned.
LT. MASON: You want us to tuck tail and run?
CMDR. RO [angrily]: I don't see any other choice, Lieutenant! [beat, calmer] I don't like it either, but at least we'd be alive.
LT. SITO: What's that Klingon saying, "Only a fool fights in a burning house"?
CAPT. BRANSON: Kara, get us far enough away so we can fire a spread of quantum torpedoes. I want them blind as warp out, obscuring our trail.
Carlson looks around, surprised. But she nods and works her console.
BEEP, BEEP! Mason consults his console, working the panel. His expression shifts from confusion to sudden anger!
LT. MASON: Captain, wait! [works console] Sensors just confirmed, that the warbirds out there are the same ones that attacked and crippled the U.S.S. Jonesboro before!
CAPT. BRANSON: That's interesting, Lieutenant, but hardly relevant right now. Lt. Kaye, carry out my orders.
Mason bolts from his console and approaches Martin, his face a mask of betrayal.
LT. MASON: Captain, we can't retreat, not now! We have to stay and fight!
Captain Branson slowly stands and faces down the burly form of his Tactical officer.
CAPT. BRANSON: Resume your station, Lieutenant.
The ship rocks again. An overhead panel smashes to the deck with a crash!
LT. MASON: If we retreat, we'll never show these punks that Starfleet means business. The whole sector will think we're a joke.
CAPT. BRANSON: Lieutenant, I --
LT. MASON [interrupting, fuming]: These bastards killed the man who threw me into an escape pod before the Jonesboro went up. We need to bring them down!
CAPT. BRANSON: At the expense of this ship and crew? Listen to yourself, Lieutenant! Carry out my original order.
He goes back to the tactical console.
LT. MASON: Quantum's ready.
CAPT. BRANSON: Fire!
Lieutenant Mason presses the firing button on the panel.
EXT. SPACE
The Enterprise unleashes a spread of quantum torpedoes as her warp engines flash and she shoots into warp.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - CONTINUOUS
LT. SITO: No sigh of pursuit sir.
Captain Branson leans back in the chair as smoke is everywhere from damaged conduits and relays.
CAPT. BRANSON: Set course for Starbase 219 best speed.
LT. CARLSON: Aye, sir.
Lieutenant Carlson works the controls of the helm as Captain Branson looks over at Lieutenant Mason.

EXT. WARP SPACE
[EPISODE NOTES: OPEN CREDITS FALL OVER OPENING SCENES]
The Enterprise passes through the void at WARP SPEED, the stars passing by as think streaks of light as the ship carries on it's way forward.
CAPT. BRANSON [voice over]: Captain's Log, supplemental: With repairs mostly complete, I've ordered the Enterprise on a pursuit course of our attackers
INT. MAIN ENGINEERING, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - CONTINUOUS
The place is a hive of frenetic activity as Chief Engineer COURTNEY JAMES issues silent orders to her engineering and repair teams, while working the main 'POOL TABLE' console.
CAPT. BRANSON [voice over, continuing]: Chief James assures me the ship is ready for battle if needs be and that deflectors will be at full power by the time we intercept our targets
INT. MAIN SICKBAY, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - CONTINUOUS
The medical staff are being kept on their toes by the small assortment of patients they are now treating. 3 of the six BIO-BEDS are occupied, and each patient is being tended to by a nurse or medical technician.
CAPT. BRANSON [voice over, continuing]: Dr. Carlson informs me we suffered only minimal casualties, mostly engineering staff caught by the rupture of the main plasma junction on Deck 3. Thankfully, no fatalities
On the central EXAMINATION TABLE lays a young Trill woman (dark-skinned, pretty with curly hair) in an engineering uniform. She sports a nasty BURN on her face, being treated by DR. STEVEN CARLSON.
Carlson offers a sympathetic smile, as he calmly runs a DERMAL REGENERATOR over the burn...
INT. ASTROMETRICS LAB, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - CONTINUOUS
Commander T'Mir works the main array of consoles at the edge of the raised upper deck with practiced ease. On the upper deck, at one of the free standing consoles, stands SITO.
The large VIEWSCREEN displays a STAR CHART of the sector, a TARGETING CROSS-HAIRS intermittently moving from place to place as the ships sensors are trained on various locations.
CAPT. BRANSON [voice over, continuing]: Commander T'Mir and Lieutenant Sito are working to improve sensor efficiency to pierce the Marauders cloak, but so far no success
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - CONTINUOUS
Standing by Tactical, RO talks with MASON, pointing at the auxiliary tactical displays. CARLSON keeps the ship on course as it cruises at high warp speeds.
CAPT. BRANSON [voice over, continuing]: The crew is tense but performing at peak efficiency. They have yet to disappoint me
Ro finishes with Mason, taking a PADD he offers, and heading for one of the aft egress hatches. EXITS...
INT. READY ROOM, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - MOMENTS LATER
Captain Branson sits at his desk with a cup of tea, steam wafting from it, engrossed in his computer terminal until the door chime pulls his attention away. He takes a steady breath.
CAPT. BRANSON: Come.
The doors opened as Commander Ro swiftly entered and hands him the PADD.
CMDR. RO: The final damage reports and repair estimates, Captain.
She stands at parade rest, allowing him a moment to read it.
CMDR. RO [cont'd]: Also Lieutenant Mason included a request to run security drills.
CAPT. BRANSON [read, nods]: Approved. We need to be as ready as possible for our next encounter.
John puts the PADD down on his desk and stares up at Ro with his hands interlace.
CAPT. BRANSON: Ro, am I going crazy?
She looks at him.
CMDR. RO: Last time I checked no you're not crazy John why do you ask?
John puts his hands on the desk and has his fingers interlaced.
CAPT. BRANSON: I was the xo aboard the Sagon when she was destroyed by the Orions, and I was just hoping that I wasn't taking the crew on some revenge quest.
CMDR. RO: John, I read the incident report and you're very lucky to be alive and if Jean-Luc could give me a second chance then Starfleet Command has given you a second chance to right the wrong that was done to you.
John looks at her as he has worry on his face.
EXT. WARP SPACE
The Enterprise passes through the void at WARP SPEED, the stars passing by as think streaks of light as the ship carries on it's way forward.
INT. LIEUTENANT MASON AND COMMANDER JAME'S QUARTERS, U.S.S ENTERPRISE - CONTINOUS
Both Jack and Courtney are laying in their bed sleeping after a hard day of being on alert since the attack, as the monitor beeps as it wakes Jack up as he gets out of bed and walks over to his desk and sits there and activates it as the Federation symbol appears.
FEMALE VOICE: An inmate from a New Zealand Penal Colony
KAREN [com voice]: Karen Mason
FEMALE VOICE: Is attempting to contact you. Will you accept this transmission?
JACK: Yes.
A few seconds later Karen Mason appears on the screen.
KAREN [monitor]: Jack?
JACK [smiles, surprised]: Hey mom.

===Act 2===
FADE IN
EXT. WARP SPACE
The Enterprise passes through the void at WARP SPEED, the stars passing by as think streaks of light as the ship carries on it's way forward.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - CONTINOUS
LT. MASON: Captain, detecting a distress call.
CAPT. BRANSON: Source?
Lieutenant Mason works at his console.
LT. MASON: It appears to be on a Vulcan signal.
Both John and Ro look at each other.
CMDR. RO: Vulcan they're along way from Vulcan Space wonder why they're out this far?
CAPT. BRANSON: Not sure but let's move to investigate Kara alter course.
LT. CARLSON: Aye, sir ETA seven minutes.
EXT. SPACE
The Enterprise slowly slips from warp space, coming to a slow and steady low-impulse speed as it approaches the lone ship hanging in the void. All around it float large pieces of DEBRIS.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - CONTINUOUS
On the MAIN VIEWSCREEN, a Vulcan SH'VHAL-CLASS vessel can be seen in all its less-then-stellar glory. Hull plates missing, several areas burnt and scorched, engine lights flickering like a busted light-bulb.
CMDR. RO [grimly]: Looks like their own luck ran out.
Off the reactions of the bridge crew at their find...
EXT. SPACE
The ENTERPRISE hangs over the crippled, beaten form of the VULCAN CRUISER.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - CONTINUOUS
Captain Branson, and Commander Ro are Commander T'Mir's station, as the science officer runs a series of scans.
LTCMDR. T'MIR: Life support is still active, and they've got some back-up generators kicking in at the moment.
CAPT. BRANSON: Bio-signs?
LTCMDR. T'MIR: About a dozen or so, I think. There's some kind of refractive coating to the hull, makes it hard to get a clear reading.
CAPT. MARTIN: What about the debris?
LTCMDR. T'MIR: I think it's the remains of one of the Marauders, hull composition matches.
John looks over at Lieutenant Mason standing at tactical.
CAPT. BRANSON: Any response to hails, Mr. Mason?
LT. MASON: The communications array sustained severe damage. I believe they are receiving our transmission, but are unable to respond.
Captain Branson turns to Commander Ro.
CAPT. BRANSON: Commander, assemble an away team. 
Commander Ro, swiftly heading to the port-side turbo-lift.
CMDR. RO [nods]: Aye, sir Mister Mason, Commander T'Mir you're with me have Doctor Carlson and Commander James meet us in transporter room 3.
As one, both officers hand their stations over to relief crew and join Ro in the waiting turbo-car. Branson resumes his seat as the door closes.
CAPT. BRANSON [to tactical officer]: Amend our message to the Vulcan cruiser to let them know about the incoming away team.
RELIEF TACTICAL OFFICER: Aye, sir.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE, VULCAN SH'VHAL - SOME TIME LATER
The bridge is gloomy and dark. Several consoles spark pathetically, as the surviving crew do what they can with what's left intact. None of the crew are familiar.
The bright light of a TRANSPORTER BEAM briefly illuminates the cramped space, as Ro, Mason, James, and DR. CARLSON, alongside MEDICAL AND ENGINEERING OFFICERS, materialize in front of the command console.
They all wear phasers at their hip, bar Carlson, who instead has a medkit in hand.
CMDR. RO: I'm Commander Ro Laren of the Federation Starship U.S.S. Enterprise we're responding to your distress call.
CAPT. SOKEL: I am Sokel Captain of the VCF Sh'vhal it is agreeable that Starfleet was able to respond to our distress call.
Doctor Carlson walks over to Sokel and opens his medical tricorder and starts scanning Sokel.
DR. CARLSON [re: Medical Tricorder]: A mild concussion a few cracked ribs I've gotta get him back to the ship for further treatment.
CMDR. RO: Do it Steven.
DR. CARLSON [tapped combadge]: Carlson to transporter room two the beam directly to sickbay.
Both Carlson and Sokel dematerialized.
EXT. SPACE
The Enterprise hangs over the crippled Sh'vhal. Several small figures in ENVIRONMENTAL SUITS can be seen climbing over the orange/red hull, fixing several breaches in it's dented and cracked surface.
CAPT. BRANSON [voice over]: Captain's Log, supplemental; our repair teams are prepping the Sh'vhal for a warp-tow to Star Station Charlie
INT. SICKBAY, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
Wounded members of the Sh'vhal's crew occupy several of the bio-beds.
CAPT. BRANSON [voice over, continuing]: We've beamed the injured aboard to take better care of them
The doors open to allow both Branson and Ro to enter, just as Carlson finishes his work.
DR. CARLSON: There, finished. The auto-suture is closing up the wound now, but all the internal damage has been taken care of. He's going to be fine.
T'LYN: You did well Doctor Carlson let's hope that logic will heal Captain Sokel as well.
CAPT. BRANSON: Doctor Carlson?
DR. CARLSON: Oh, Captain, Commander. The majority of the crew we beamed over have been released. A couple beamed back over to help with repairs, the others are in the Starview Lounge.
JUMP CUT TO:
INT. COUNSELOR'S OFFICE, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - LATER
Inside the softly lit, spaciously designed and lightly furnished room, COUNSELOR LINDSEY TANNER sits, her legs crossed delicately, hands clasped over the knee, waiting with infinite patience.
Opposite her sits Mason. Everything about his posture and body language screams that he does not want to be there.
COUNSELOR TANNER: The session would go a lot quicker if you actually talked to me, Jack.
LT. MASON: Don't, okay? Don't act like we're 'all friends here'. I'm only here to get this out of the way.
COUNSELOR TANNER: Because the captain ordered you to come here.
LT. MASON [frustrated]: Yes.
COUNSELOR TANNER: Why? Why did he order that?
LT. MASON: Look, I lost my cool. It was a one-time thing, it wont happen again.
COUNSELOR TANNER: You lost 'your cool', because you felt that he was ignoring the fact that the ships that attacked us were the same one that were responsible for Captain Windsor's death.
LT. MASON:Damned right I did! We could have nailed the bastards!
COUNSELOR TANNER: At the expense of the rest of the crew?
LT. MASON [furious]: Yes! [realizes] No! I didn't mean that, damn it, you're confusing me.
COUNSELOR TANNER: You're definitely conflicted over this, but it's not my doing. I think you're fighting with yourself, your duty to the crew versus your desire to avenge the memory of your mentor.
Jack looks over at her.
LT. MASON: I think that our time is up. Good day, Counselor.
He storms out of the office, the doors barely open enough for him to slip through in his haste, as Lindsey watches with sad eyes...
INT. RESIDENTIAL CORRIDOR, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - MOMENTS LATER
The TURBO-LIFT DOOR opens, and Mason stalks out, fists clenched and held stiffly by his sides, walking with purpose, barely controlled anger in every step.
He passes several ND crew-members, responding to their nods with a curt one of his own, until he finally makes it to his destination - his quarters. The doors open, allowing him to enter...
INT. MASON & JAMES'S QUARTERS, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - CONTINUOUS
...where he walks into the main cabin, and comes to a halt, desperate to keep the flurry of emotions he's feeling from overpowering him. He studies the familiar space around him.
The room is well decorated, and moderately sized, as befitting the occupant's position and rank.
Antique weapons, from a BOW & ARROW to a LASER PISTOL, decorate it, either hanging on the walls, or displayed on a shelf.
Several photos are also present: One, in an WOODEN FRAME, is of a YOUNGER MASON, in an earlier style of uniform, stood with CAPTAIN WINDSOR, all smiles. Mason, with care and respect, picks up the photo, smiling softly at the memory-
--until a SUDDEN FURY twists his handsome features, and he HURLS the picture across the room! It hits a far wall, and SHATTERS!
Mason, emotionally spent, slowly sinks down into the nearby sofa, burying his head in his hands...
JUMP CUT TO:
EXT. WARP SPACE
Enterprise is towing the damaged Vulcan cruiser to Starbase 19.
INT. MASON & JAMES'S QUARTERS, U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - CONTINUOUS
Jack sits at his desk as he activates the monitor on his terminal as it shows his mother Karen Mason.
KAREN [monitor]: Hi Jack, oh I hope I didn't cause you any trouble with your new job
JACK: No, no, no. It's fine. (CLEARS THROAT) I mean, we're on something. I-I, uh, I got to be back soon.
KAREN [monitor]: Mm. It's good to see you. It always is
JACK: You to how are they treating you?
KAREN [monitor]: Oh you know give me some good food and not those MREs but other then that I miss being at our old house
JACK: Um (CLEARS THROAT) when you called, you said it was urgent.
KAREN [monitor]: Ye Um. A friend of mine, Diedra Caldwell, she's getting out next week. Her ex is a hitter like your dad was. I just, I don't want to see her end up like me or worse. Look, maybe if her ex sees that you're a Starfleet officer I mean I mean, if you could just warn him, tell him to stay away from her for good, you know? Is it wrong?
JACK [sighs]: Nope.
KAREN [monitor]: It is, it's-it's wrong to ask you. I shouldn't have called. I have no place asking you for anything
JACK: You got every place to ask me whatever you want.
Karen looks at her son.
