LT. MASON: Amateur pilots. Scourge of the galaxy, Commander. Most of these guys couldn't navigate their way around a bathtub. 
CMDR. IVANOVA (Laughs): Easy there Jack he probably has a reason. 
LT. MASON: For what forcing a Federation vessel on a very important mission to alter course to provide assistance to whoever is in that pod? 
DR. CARLSON: I've got my medical kit ready to handle any issues whoever is onboard the pod has. 
LT. MASON: Now, don't confuse bravery with stupidity. Most of these jokers are too rich or too old to know any better.

CLAIRE: They was two Interceptors, they beamed aboard there was four of them - all in balaclavas. I took off in the life pod. I hoped they'd let me go if I abandoned the yacht. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Why didn't you sent out a distress call? 
CLAIRE: Barely had time to get the escape pod. The pirates were about to board me. 
CMDR. IVANOVA [scoffs, laughs]: Pirates? There's no pirates in this sector.
CAPT. BRANSON: My executive officer Commander Zhasa Ivanova she's a bit protective of this vessel. 
CLAIRE: Guys in masks, armed with disruptor weapons, brandishing machetes. I would call them pirates. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Well you're safe now Claire we'll locate your vessel and set a course for it.

CMDR. IVANOVA (to com): Captain Jack just reported that the Lune's shields are down but recharging and her phaser banks are burnt out and she'll have to be put into a dry-dock for repairs. 
CAPT. BRANSON (com voice): I've informed Starfleet Command they're dispatching the Intrepid and her escorts they'll be there in a few hours, and I'll have Claire beam over 
Then Claire beams aboard her ship. 
CLAIRE: Aw poor girl I'm sorry that they did this to you. 
Then Stephanie shows up. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Her engines are undamaged and she can be ready for warp anytime. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: Claire make sure that you didn't lose anything or anything was stolen. 
Claire searches the ship as Lieutenant Mason sees a Starfleet particle rifle. 
LT. MASON: Commander its a MACO particle rifle I've not seen one of these things since learning about this at the Academy its a 22nd century MACO weapon. 
CLAIRE: It was my father's he taught me how to use it. 
Lieutenant Mason checks the rifle.

The crew are having a meal. 
JACK: I find it weird that someone would want to be out here all alone just to raise awareness for colonies that aren't defended well. 
STEPHANIE: Well she is doing a great thing but being out here near Orion Space is just asking for trouble. 
JACK: I don't know I would go stir crazy. 
STEPHANIE: Why because you would have no woman to keep you company? 
Branson, Carlson, and Smith snickers. 
JACK: Ha, ha very funny dear. 
Then Commander Ivanova comes over the com. 
CMDR. IVANOVA [com voice]: Senior officers report to the bridge we're receiving a distress call

CAPT. BRANSON: Claire. What happened? 
CLAIRE: It was the same guys as before. They-they just radioed. They wanted to, um, borrow petrol and then just before I realized it was a trick, I-I mean, what do they want from me? 
CMDR. IVANOVA: Maybe they got scared off the first time and came back to ransack the boat. 
Captain Branson paces about. 
CAPT. BRANSON: You know that we're on a critical mission to one of our colonies your distress call could of cost lives. 
CLAIRE: Sorry.

CAPT. BRANSON: Claire you need to get back to Federation Space, you've been attacked twice and a third time you may lose your life and your vessel. 
Claire thinks. 
CLAIRE (nods): Yeah, maybe I could I could do some time in a port. I've been meaning to replace the impulse manifold in the port impulse engine.

And please, please keep up your donations for the CD Foundation. It really needs your support. That's me for today. Over and out
LT. SMITH: She's raising awareness for lack of colony defenses. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: She claims she's attacked by pirates. She abandons ship in fear of her life, yet she still has time to get on an EV suit? The crew seemed to buy it. 
LT. SMITH: Well they're not thinking with their heads.

John is looking over ship status reports and reports on the Klingon issue, when the doors chimed. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Come. 
Doors opened and Commander Ivanova enters. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: Clair Watts? She's crying wolf. She has never been attacked by pirates, and even if she had been, those bandits have been taken out of Federation Space. She is making false reports, she's seeking attention. Or maybe publicity to help raise money for her cause I don't know. But her maydays are bogus I would stake my career on it. 
Captain Branson puts his tea down and looks at her. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Finished? You know we can't ignore a mayday. We have a duty of care to render assistance without prejudice. 
Zhasa sits down in front of the desk. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: I get that John I really do but to have the fleet right there with their taking some shipments of what could be weapons, and to give that up for the girl who is playing with people's I....

CMDR. IVANOVA: You're lucky we did, You're very lucky we did. You'd drifted into unsurvey asteroid field. 
CLAIRE: I didn't drift! I was forced into the area by the pirates' cruiser. 
LTCMDR. KAL (scoffs): These would be the same pirates who attacked you earlier? 
CLAIRE: Yes! 
CMDR. IVANOVA: Why didn't you respond to our radio transmissions? 
CLAIRE: If I had a com array I would they took it out with their first shot. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Its all smashed up Commander even her engines are off-line as well. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: T'Shara check her sensors. 
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Aye, Commander. 
T'Shara leaves to head to the main compartment. 
CMDR. IVANOVA: Claire you know that we were tracking down the "Orion pirates" and you called us to help you. 
CLAIRE (crosses her arms): You think I would be lying? 
CMDR. IVANOVA: You tell me? 
She gets annoyed as Doctor Carlson checks her. 
DR. CARLSON: Commander I need to get her to sickbay so I can give her a full medical examination.

CMDR. IVANOVA: Stephanie found it in a panel.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: It was tied into the communications array according to Commander Williams it had the com signal of every Federation vessel in the fleet, but mostly the Enterprise's com frequencies.

CLAIRE: I'm great and impressed by the quarters but I would like to return to my ship now. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Claire that's not gonna be possible. 
He tosses the device on the table. 
CAPT. BRANSON: My chief engineer found that in the console it was tied into the com array. 
CLAIRE: Maybe it was the pirates so they could download signals. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Yeah the big bad "pirates" that we haven't been to detect or encountered yet. 
She looks at him. 
CLAIRE: I really was attacked by pirates Captain. 
He holds a PADD and looks at it.

INT-USS ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM 
FLT CAPT. KIRK (monitor): John I've read your report its strange that this girl would abuse Starfleet emergency frequencies just to get revenge on what Starfleet did to her father.
CAPT. BRANSON: I don't get it either Jean-Luc she's doing a good deed by raising awareness for lack of Colonial defense for our colonies along the Neutral Zone border. 
FLT CAPT. KIRK (monitor): Still she almost cost lives on Draken IV 
CAPT. BRANSON (sighs): I know Jim.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE GUEST QUARTERS
Lieutenant Mitchell is standing at the edge of the door as Claire looks at him. 
CLAIRE: You believe me, don't you? 
LT. MITCHELL: Do you want anything from the replicator it can make some of the best food that you've tasted maybe not as good as rations but it can do wonders with food. 
Claire tries to come onto Tyson. 
CLAIRE: I've missed you. 
LT. MITCHELL: Claire I should probably stand outside 
CLAIRE: What? What? What?! What is wrong with me? 
LT. MITCHELL: Whoa! 
CLAIRE: What do you just think that because you're in Starfleet you've got some kind of moral superiority?! 
LT. MITCHELL: Calm down, Clair! 
CLAIRE: My dad, he didn't do anything wrong. He didn't do anything wrong. 
LT. MITCHELL: Claire, no-one's saying anything about your father, OK? 
Claire gets out a MACO phase pistol. 
LT. MITCHELL: Claire put the phase pistol down. 
Then the doors opened. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Is there a problem Tyson? Claire put the phase pistol down. 
CLAIRE: I have nothing else to live for. 
He raises his hands. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Claire you don't have to do this think of your father he wouldn't want you to go down like this listen to me Claire you are doing a great job with this awareness thing Starfleet will know how to help these colonies defend themselves from attacks of the Tholians, Klingons, Lyrans, The Romulans, and the Gorn. 
He goes for the phase pistol and takes it from her and hands it to Jack who checks the weapon as John hugs Claire who breaks down. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Its ok Claire everything is gonna be alright.
