CAPT. BRANSON: There was nothing left.

CAPT. BRANSON: Yes, sir.
FLT ADM. OZAWA: So, if it is the Romulans we'll have to prepare for a possible invasion from them.
REAR ADM. NOGURA: Captain, what can you tell me about Draken IV?
John thinks.
CAPT. BRANSON: It was fought for by the Coalition of Planets during the Earth-Romulan War of the late 22nd century, after the war we put a Starbase in orbit of the planet that is currently defended by a Miranda-class vessel.
REAR ADM. NOGURA: Captain take the Enterprise to Draken IV and oversee the preparation to repel the invasion that's coming.

CAPT. BRANSON: This is Starbase Draken IV it was constructed in 2164 a few years after the Earth-Romulan War, it was designed to monitor the Neutral Zone like our outposts on the asteroid field.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: What makes it so interesting.
CAPT. BRANSON: It's technology is severely outdated and the base Commander Paul Wilson has refused several suggestions to upgrade her systems.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: Maybe the Commodore likes older tech?
CAPT. BRANSON: If he does then he's in trouble.
LT. MASON: We're ready for battle I was able to divert power to the deflectors to prevent them from taking a bad hit from their plasma torpedoes.

INT-STARBASE DRAKEN COMMODORE WILSON'S OFFICE
Commodore Wilson's office has the vibe of Starbase 11 from the "TOS Season 1 Episode: Court Martial" but is in space, as Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova are both reviewing the readiness report that Commodore Wilson is going to send to Starfleet Command.
CAPT. BRANSON: This readiness report is unacceptable.
He puts the PADD down.
COMM. WILSON: What are you talking about?
CAPT. BRANSON: Your base is a decade old and their defenses are old as dinosaurs and you only have two Starships a Class-J cargo Hauler & a Miranda-Class Destroyer, that's not the best for a future attack by the Romulans.
Commodore Wilson looks at him.
COMM. WILSON: What do you know you're just the son of Admiral Branson.
CAPT. BRANSON: I've been in battle with the Romulans and they don't play around sir.
COMM. WILSON: There's no way that the Klingons would attack the Federation.
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Sir no offense but they're not messing around.
COMM. WILSON [annoyed]: Huh they're not going to attack this base good day.
Both Captain Branson and Commander Ivanova leaves his office.

Lieutenant T'Lar works on her console. 
LTJG. T'LAR: It appears to be a Romulan recon vessel. 
CAPT. BRANSON: Let's see it. 
[Transparent viewer enhances the image and shows the recon vessel from a distance.] 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: They must know that we can detect them. 
[Captain Branson walks to the viewer.] 
CAPT. BRANSON: If they do Z I don't think they care Julia open a channel.
LTJG. SMITH: Channel open sir.
CAPT. BRANSON [to com]: Attention Romulan vessel this Captain John Branson of the Federation Starship USS Enterprise, shut down your engines and prepare to be boarded. 
LTJG. SMITH: No response sir. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA: Guess they don't want to get caught. 
[Then a bright flash as they turn to see that the vessel self-destructed.] 
LTJG. T'LAR: They must of triggered their self-destruct sequence.
