INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM/SITUATION ROOM
The wall monitor shows the Federation-Gorn border as Admiral April is briefing the senior staff.
ADM. APRIL: For months now we've been monitoring the Gorn border so far they've been good about keeping to their side of the border.
CAPT. BRANSON: Something must of changed?
Admiral April inputs commands into the panel.
ADM. APRIL: Three weeks ago a squadron of Lyran Cheetah-class frigates crossed the border and attacked a Gorn outpost, and the Gorn thinks that we had the Lyrans assist in attacking them.
CMDR. IVANOVA: And you believe that?
ADM. APRIL: No and neither does the Federation Council so your mission is to head to the border and get this fixed before we have a war on our hands.
CAPT. BRANSON: We'll get it done sir.
ADM. APRIL: I know you will John.

CAPT. BRANSON: Anything from our bases along the Gorn border?
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Outpost A-12 has reported that three squadrons of Gorn hunter vessels have been on the move since the attack.
CMDR. IVANOVA: They have to know that we're aware of them moving towards the Lyran border.
CAPT. BRANSON: Maybe they do but don't care.
LTCMDR. T'SHARA: Logic dictates that the Gorn and Lyran forces will attack should our mission fail.
CAPT. BRANSON: Sometimes T'Shara I wish you were wrong about that.

CAPT. S'ALATH [viewer]: I am S'alath Captain of the Gorn cruiser GCS Grees'sril we are glad that Starfleet is here to drive the Lyran scum away from our borders
CAPT. BRANSON: S'alath I am under orders to do whatever I have to in order to end this fighting peacefully, and that' what I am going to do but I want to do it face to face so why don't you and the Lyran Commander beam aboard my vessel and we can discuss this issue.
S'alath thinks then agrees.

Tyson sits at the desk then the monitor beeps and he presses it and Karen Mitchell appears on the screen.
TYSON [smiles]: Hey mom sorry I can't be there in person we've got a very important mission.
KAREN [monitor]: It's ok sweetie I heard about it on the FNNS this morning, you are so much like your brother Gary I miss him so much
TYSON: I-I, uh, I got to be back soon.
KAREN [monitor]: Mm. It's good to see you. It always is
TYSON [smiles]: You to mom new paint?
KAREN [monitor]: Uh, yeah. Some shrink told the warden lime green is soothing
TYSON [chuckles]: What is he, in therapy?
KAREN [monitor]: He should be. He's a little bit uptight
Both chuckle.
TYSON: It's okay. A few more months, it'll all be over. You shouldn't be here.
KAREN [monitor]: Always looking out for me. Even with your father, you never would back down. I don't know where you got that.
TYSON: Not from him.
KAREN [monitor]: You remember the time he came home drunk and started chasing me around with a hammer? You were right there. But he can't hurt us anymore, can he? We just have to keep moving forward
Tyson leans forward on the desk.
TYSON: Mom, when you called, you said it was urgent.
KAREN [monitor]: Ye Um. A friend of mine, Diedra Caldwell, she's getting out next week. Her ex is a hitter like your dad was. I just, I don't want to see her end up like me or worse. Look, maybe if her ex sees that you're a Starfleet officer I mean I mean, if you could just warn him, tell him to stay away from her for good, you know? Is it wrong?
Tyson leans back in the chair.
TYSON [sighs]: Nope, its not wrong mom it's just that I don't know the next time that I'm going to be at Earth, but I'll look into it I hate to see anyone else suffer what you went through.
KAREN [monitor]: Thanks sweetie I better go
TYSON: Alright mom I love you.
KAREN [monitor]: I love you to sweetie
Transmission ends as Tyson leans back in his chair.

The Gorn Ambassador snarls as Captain Branson stands up.
CAPT. BRANSON: Gentlemen please we came this far let's not ruin it with senseless violence.
They sat down at the table.
CAPT. BRANSON: Now there's a few things that we want to go over for now no Gorn or Lyran vessel will power up their weapons to fight if they do so, we'll respond in kind and cripple your vessels.
GORN AMBASSADOR (via Universal Translator): We will adhered to your demands
LYRAN AMBASSADOR: Same here.
ADM. APRIL: Let's begin then.
GORN AMBASSADOR [via Universal Translator]: We have a right to defend our border!
LYRAN AMBASSADOR: You attack our people without reason and killed our people and destroy our outposts and colonies!
CAPT. BRANSON: Alright so you attack they fight back or you attack and you fight back, but we need to come to a better understanding then that what if you act like us for a change.
Then they both snarl at Captain Branson and leave the conference room.
CAPT. BRANSON: Uh was it something I said?
Robert pats his shoulder.
ADM. APRIL: It's alright John their a bit cranky at the moment we'll have to advise Starfleet that these talks may break down.

ADM. APRIL [viewer]: You must maintain the peace Captain
CAPT. BRANSON: Sir, they don't want to maintain the peace they want to blow each other out of the sky.
ADM. APRIL [viewer]: If that happens the Federation could be dragged into their war!
Transmission ends as Captain Branson thinks and comes up with a risky idea.

CAPT. BRANSON: Save it I haven't had the best day right now and I have something to say to the both of you, that you should take to heart your ships will leave Federation Space in peace before we have to do something that we're both going to regret.
CAPT. S'ALATH [viewer, via universal translator]: Captain what are you saying?
CAPT. BRANSON: I'm saying that both of you have this rival issue that needs to be resolved right now, so each of your vessels will eject your primary phaser coils as you depart Federation Space.
LYRAN COMMANDER [viewer]: BUT WE'LL BE DEFENSELESS
