Admiral Riker turns to him.
VICE ADM. RIKER: Yes, I've received a hail from Starfleet Command they've scheduled a war conference with several of our allies at Chiron Station in orbit of Chiron IV. And they've asked if you can speak at the conference about our issues with the Star Empire.
John is surprised.
CAPT. MARTIN: Starfleet Command wants me to speak at a war conference about how we're dealing with the Empire?
VICE ADM. RIKER [nods]: You've been out there before this war started with the Romulans and you know how they fight, and you can mediate this before we're forced to surrender to the Romulans.

CAPT. MARTIN: Very well then let's get to work.
CAPT. TOWE: I'm sure you two know my xo Commander Tanna Mor.
CMDR. MOR: Captains Martin and Smith welcome aboard the Harrison.
CAPT. SMITH: Thank you Commander Mor my ship the Yorktown is currently being repaired and refitted after a encounter with a Romulan battlegroup, so I am here to support John.

JOHN: I'm surprised to have you aboard.

JOHN [smiles]: And I am glad that you're here with me Jess.
They kiss.
A slightly jolt brings them out of their bliss.
JESSICA: What was that?

CMDR. MOR: But we've got it under control sir.
CAPT. MARTIN: Doesn't seem like it Commander.
CMDR. MOR [frustrated]: And you think you know more then we do sir?
John turns to her.
CAPT. MARTIN; I've been in battle with the Romulans and if its this bad then they must have a base somewhere in a nearby sector.
Jamie thinks.

LT. LUX: If we leave they'll detect us. 
CMDR. MOR: We try to call for help they'll zero in on our position.
Captain Towe thinks as Captain Martin chimes in.
CAPT. MARTIN: We could fit a stationary beacon with a board band subspace transmitter.
CMDR. MOR: Captain, this is to risky we could end up being destroyed.
CAPT. MARTIN: Or we could be getting out of here.
CAPT. TOWE: Jenn?
Commander Carvus thinks.
LTCMDR. CARVUS: Yeah, that could work.
CAPT. TOWE: A distress call would be too obvious we need something a bit more subtle. 
LTCMDR. TARU: Cochran distortions.

CAPT. MARTIN: Your uncalled for disrespect of my authority I get that Captain Towe is your CO, but she asked for a suggestion.
CMDR. MOR: A suggestion that could get everyone aboard this ship killed.
CAPT. MARTIN: This plan will work.
CMDR. MOR: May I speak frankly, sir?
CAPT. MARTIN: By all means.
CMDR. MOR: We're just a California-Class vessel we're not a Sovereign-Class vessel, we're not that well equipped to combat Romulan vessels.
CAPT. MARTIN: Commander this is war I've been aboard vessels that weren't equipped for warfare during my time in Starfleet, so I'm not a stranger to be aboard these types of vessels. And we must do whatever we have to in order to survive proceed to main bridge.
