LT. CARLSON [confused]: Uh, sir these coordinates take us awfully close to the Klingon border.
Commander Ivanova walks over to him.
CMDR. IVANOVA: John, mind telling me why we're heading to the border?
CAPT. BRANSON [sighs]: My father was reported MIA then KIA by Starfleet Command but I wanna know for myself before I mourn, and this was the last coordinates he was at along their border.
CMDR. IVANOVA: You will be putting this crew in danger by taking the Enterprise to the Klingon border we could run into a Klingon ship.
Captain Branson turns to Commander Ivanova.
CAPT. BRANSON: Z I have to know what if it was your brother you would go that's my daughter's grandfather out there.
