INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN ENGINEERING
Commander Williams and her engineering staff are replacing relays and conduits as Captain Branson walks in.
CAPT. BRANSON: What about the impulse upgrades? 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: The day after tomorrow. Put a new phase compensator on that relay.
ENGINEER: Yes, Commander.
CAPT. BRANSON: Environmental control?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: The thermal regulators are still running a little hot. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Too bad we can't just keep the windows open. How long until the warp drive is back online?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [re: PADD]: Six days.
CAPT. BRANSON: Can't you speed it up faster Steph?
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Captain, I don't like sitting still anymore than you do, but repairs this extensive take time.
[Lights start flickering.]
LTCMDR. CLARKSON [groans]: Mendez, find out where that's coming from.
ENS. MENDEZ: Yes, Commander.
CAPT. BRANSON: I know this ship has been through a lot, but you told me this would only take a few days. 
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [sighs]: That was before I discovered the microfractures in the starboard nacelle and the fused relays in the main computer.
[Lights come back on.]
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Who did that?
[They turn to see Lieutenant Tina Branson who's visiting from the Endeavour.]
LT. T BRANSON: I noticed a charge imbalance in the EPS feed. I'm sorry if I...
She walks over to her.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: It could have taken us hours to find that.
CAPT. J BRANSON [smiles]: Until we get underway again, she's assigned to you. With her on your team, maybe you'll get this job done a little faster. 
John leaves engineering.

He sips it.
JIM: Kyle, I should of warned you about this.
Kyle puts the cup down.
KYLE: It's alright Jim I am not mad at you nor do I blame you for what's going on right now.
JIM: I tried to get this to go away believe me but they wouldn't budge.
KYLE: Why do they want to reassign me to a Starbase?
JIM: It's because of John giving you your old rank back they want to punish you because they can't punish John because of his father and me protecting him which isn't true.
Kyle gets up and paces about,
KYLE: H-How can we fight it?
Jim thinks and looks at him.
JIM: We could talk to your sister.
They leave his office.

CAPT. BRANSON: This is not what I was expecting from you sir.
VICE ADM. TUCKER [monitor]: You should of followed the recommendation of our choice Captain
CAPT. BRANSON: He didn't deserve his rank to be taken from him over this sir.
VICE ADM. TUCKER [monitor]: So you disobeyed an order from your superiors!
CAPT. BRANSON: I wasn't aware that his demotion was a direct order sir.
ADM. PERRY [monitor]: Let's take a step back before we go to deep into this
Admiral Tucker gets up and leaves as Admiral Halsey speaks.
ADM. HALSEY [monitor]: John we understand that you did it because of his service record and his hard work as an engineer
CAPT. BRANSON: It was more then that sir.
FLT ADM. OZAWA [monitor]: Captain Branson I want you to know that I was against this from the start but you know how passionate Admiral Tucker can be
CAPT. BRANSON: So, he's punishing me by removing one of the officers I have from my command?
ADM. HALSEY [monitor]: Yes seeing how he can't touch you due to your parents and your friendship with Admiral Kirk
John paces about and looks at the wall monitor.
CAPT. BRANSON: Sir, I assure my choice to restore his rank wasn't out of disrespect towards the Admiralty nor the Federation Council, we can't simply allow the Andorians to dictate what we do.
ADM. PERRY [monitor]: We understand how you feel Captain but they have a seat on the Federation Council, there for they have a say so as to what goes on and this situation with Commander Clarkson will cause the Andorians to leave the Federation leaving us wide open for a Klingon or Romulan invasion
CAPT. BRANSON: So the reason the Admiralty and the council agreed to discharge my friend in order to keep the Andorians on the council?
ADM. HASLEY [monitor]: Captain believe us we were against this choice but Admiral Herbert wanted to keep the Andorian Ambassador happy
CAPT. BRANSON: It still doesn't make it right sir.
He ends the transmission as he sits in one of the chairs at the briefing table.

CMDR. CLARKSON: Now what can I do for you?
ADM. KIRK: The Admiralty is threating to remove Commander Clarkson from the Enterprise and reassign him to Starbase 10 due to the situation three years ago and John restoring his original rank.
He hands her a PADD with all the information on it.
CMDR. CLARKSON [re: PADD]: I remember the situation I wasn't allowed to be his lawyer because of the classification of the first trial but thanks to you and John I was able to be there for the second trial.

CMDR. IVANOVA: Are you alright?
CAPT. BRANSON [sighs]: The Admiralty is thinking of reassigning Kyle to Starbase 10.
CMDR. IVANOVA [shocked]: What?
CAPT. BRANSON: Yeah, it's mostly Admiral Tucker he didn't like that I gave Kyle his original rank back to him.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Well, you knew this would come back to bite you in the ass.
JOHN: And I knew it would happen but wasn't expecting to be with either the Klingons or Romulans breathing down our necks.
ZHASA: So what are you going to do?
JOHN [sighs]: I've talked to Jim about it and he's already gotten taken care of he doesn't want me involved.

ADM. TUCKER: Yes.
CMDR. CLARKSON: A crew that deserved more then have their records sealed and buried a request that was signed off by you.
ADM. TUCKER: We couldn't risk war with the Klingons we weren't prepared.
She looks at him.
CMDR. CLARKSON: You were also the one who recommended that my brother get discharged.
ADM. TUCKER: To preserve the alliance with the Andorians if they left the Federation we'd be vulnerable to attacks from the Klingon, Gorn, or Romulans!
