EXT-FEDERATION/KLINGON NEUTRAL ZONE BORDER
The Enterprise emerges from warp approaching Caernaravon IV.
CAPT. BRANSON'S [voice over]: Captain's Log Stardate 7472.1, The Enterprise has been ordered to Caernarvon IV by Starfleet to evaluate the bases readiness for a future Klingon Invasion of the Federation, and it seems like we got here just in time
INT-STARBASE CAERNARVON COMMODORE WILSON'S OFFICE
Commodore Wilson's office has the vibe of Starbase 11 from the "TOS Season 1 Episode: Court Martial" but is in space, as Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova are both reviewing the readiness report that Commodore Wilson is going to send to Starfleet Command.
CAPT. BRANSON [annoyed]: This readiness report is unacceptable.
He puts the PADD down.
COMM. WILSON [Confused]: What are you talking about?
CAPT. BRANSON: Your base is a decade old and their defenses are old as dinosaurs and you only have two Starships a Class-J cargo Hauler & a Miranda-Class Destroyer, that's not the best for a future attack by the Klingons.
Commodore Wilson looks at him.
COMM. WILSON: What do you know you're just the son of Admiral Branson.
CAPT. BRANSON: I've been in battle with the Klingons and they don't play around sir.
COMM. WILSON: There's no way that the Klingons would attack the Federation.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Sir no offense but they're not messing around.
COMM. WILSON [annoyed]: Huh they're not going to attack this base good day.
Both Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova leaves his office.
