CAPT. BRANSON: Very good T'Lar, Jack what about the weapons?

Then Lieutenant Williams and her team shows up. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Please tell me you have good news Lieutenant? 
LT. WILLIAMS [Sighs]: I wish I did Captain but its not this ship's engines are shredded they'll need to be repaired at a nearby Federation Outpost.

CAPT. JOHNSON [monitor]: The Suculon have attacked us taken out our warp drive with one shot destroyed half of the forward section, I've ordered the crew to abandon ship but it seems that they're are determined not to allow them to leave the ship alive. But I will cover them for as long as I can they must reach the nearest Federation Outpost to warn the Federation of a Suculon threat
TACTICAL OFFICER (O.S): INCOMING!!!!
Screen fizzes out. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Captain Alexander Johnson good officer, good man bit of a windbag and a bit cocky still don't know why they gave him command of a science vessel, nor why the Suculon attacked a lightly armed Starfleet Science vessel. 
LTJG. T'LAR: We are far from their border it would be illogical for them to attack us this far from their space.
LTJG. MASON: They nearly destroyed the U.S.S. Valiant and U.S.S. Valor killed most of her crew only Captain Freedmon was spared.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: So are we gonna let Starfleet know sir? 
CAPT. BRANSON (nods): Oh yeah we will as soon as we tow the Essex to Starbase 6. 
Captain Branson starts rubbing his forearm a bit annoyed. 
ENS. CARLSON: Uh are you alright sir? 
CAPT. BRANSON: Yeah its just that.

DR. CARLSON [confused]: I've never seen anything like this, but it's it's gotta be some sort of contact reaction. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: What do you think it is besides that? 
DR. CARLSON [shrugs shoulders]: I'm not sure I'll have to check the Starfleet medical database to see what it is. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: And how's Lieutenant Jaffah? 
DR. CARLSON: He's resting as well and he has the same burn on his hand I've started them on dermal regeneration.

LTCMDR. IVANOVA (crosses her arms): How did he cure it? 
DR. CARLSON: Well according to his medical log he didn't Seamen Toby "Cheffo" Jones recovered but they lost one crewmen I've not gone through this whole entry made by him but I'll have something for you.

I hope it comes as some small comfort to know your son was a fine young man and a fine Starfleet Officer. His sense of humor, his devotion to duty and his loyalty to his friends made him an asset to not only to Starfleet and the Federation and, in particular, to the USS Enterprise NCC-1701. He will be greatly missed by all who had the honor and privilege to serve with him "and he will never be forgotten. Again, I offer you my most heartfelt condolences. Live Long and Prosper Jaffah. Yours sincerely, John Branson
