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 Sito snickers.

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? 
LTCMDR. KAL: 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 (Sighs): When we approach Archanis IV my wives ship the USS Yorktown will escort you to your ship and you'll head to the nearest Starbase.

Doors opened and Commander Kal enters. 
LTCMDR. KAL: 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.

LTCMDR. KAL (scoffs): These would be the same pirates who attacked you earlier? 
CLAIRE: Yes! 
LTCMDR. KAL: Why didn't you respond to our radio transmissions?

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.

CLAIRE: You believe me, don't you? 
LTJG. MASON: 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 Jack. 
CLAIRE: I've missed you. 
LTJG. MASON: Claire I should probably stand outside 
CLAIRE: What? What? What?! What is wrong with me? 
LTJG. MASON: Whoa! 
CLAIRE: What - do you just think that because you're in the navy you've got some kind of moral superiority?! 
LTJG. MASON: Calm down, Clair! 
CLAIRE: My dad, he didn't do anything wrong. He didn't do anything wrong.
LTJG. MASON: Clair, no-one's saying anything about your father, OK? 
Claire gets out a MACO phase pistol. 
LTJG. MASON: Claire put the phase pistol down. 
Then the doors opened. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Is there a problem Jack? Claire put the phase pistol down.
