EXT-FEDERATION SPACE
The U.S.S. Enterprise is in formation with what's left of the second battlegroup, PULL BACK to REVEAL two more FEDERATION STARSHIPS, one of which is leaking plasma. PULL BACK even further to see several more SHIPS all looking battered and much the worse for wear. A couple of the ships are being towed, unable to proceed under their own power.
PULL BACK EVEN MORE to see the remainder of the Second Fleet, The once-proud and powerful armada has been reduced by the ravages of war to a third of its original size.
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
BRANSON, IVANOVA, CARLSON, SMITH, CLARKSON, MASON, MITCHELL ,and T'LAR are at their stations; the rest of the bridge crew is made up of SUPERNUMERARIES. Everyone looks gaunt and grim from three months of relentless fighting. Only Branson seems immune to the air of defeat that permeates the ship and its crew. He sits in the Captain's Chair, contained, in control -- ready to go another fifteen rounds with the dogs of war.
CAPT. BRANSON: T'Lar?
LTCMDR. T'LAR: Long range scanners show no sign of Klingon ships. Looks like they've broken off their pursuit.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: Finally they've stopped following us, I guess they got tired of looking at our backs. Three months of bloody slaughter and what have we got to show for it? Not a damn thing. Engage, retreat, engage, retreat. Just once I would've liked to have gotten a look at their backs. 
Captain Branson turns to the Engineering console.
CAPT. BRANSON: Commander that's enough.
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: Sorry sir I'm just worn out and tired from being on duty for the last few days nothing a little bit of sleep can't cure.
LT. CARLSON: I think we all could use some sleep, (beat) it's been like what seventy-two hours?
LT. MITCHELL: Shouldn't we've heard from the 6th battlegroup?
LT. SMITH: I wouldn't worry Lieutenant the Archanis system is far from the frontlines.
LT. MITCHELL: Think they can defeat the Klingons?
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: Someone has to.
Captain Branson tenses up after hearing that.

INT-USS ENTERPRISE SICKBAY, DOCTOR CARLSON'S OFFICE
John walks in and walks over to him.
CAPT. BRANSON: Report?
DR. CARLSON [sighs]: We lost fourteen officers and three more are still unaccounted for twenty are critical but they'll make it.
Captain Branson hangs his head then the doors open and Lieutenant Smith enters and walks into the office.
LT. SMITH: Captain we just received word from Starfleet Command we're to report to Starbase Twenty-Two.
CAPT. BRANSON: Has Kara set a course?
She nods as she remains there.
CAPT. BRANSON: Something else Lieutenant?
LT. SMITH [sighs]: Yes I have news of the Sixth Battlegroup.
CAPT. BRANSON [bracing himself for the news]: Well continue Julia.
She puts her hands behind her back.
LT. SMITH: Only fourteen ships made it back to our lines.
Captain Branson takes the new hard as Doctor Carlson can't believe what he just heard.
DR. CARLSON: Fourteen out of a hundred and twelve.
LT. SMITH [showing her anger]: Sir, we can't keep taking those kinds of losses not if we expect to win this!
CAPT. BRANSON: Thank you Lieutenant that will be all.
DR. CARLSON: Lieutenant you want me to take a look at that cut on your head.
LT. SMITH: Sure.
They head to the bio-beds as John can't believe what he heard and vents his anger on Carlson's desk after a beat, Branson takes a deep breath, and wills back his composure, refusing to give in to defeat. And on his look of utter defiance, we:

ADM. KIRK: I'm glad to see you made it back in one piece, John.
CAPT. BRANSON: I was lucky. We lost a lot of good people.
ADM. KIRK (sighs): Yes, we did. And we're going to lose a lot more before this is over.
CAPT. BRANSON (sighs): I know.
ADM. KIRK: Starfleet Command has give you your new orders John.
He hands him a PADD.
ADM. KIRK: Sector 232 is an important sector of Federation Space.
CAPT. BRANSON (re: PADD): An important sector?
ADM. KIRK (nods): Starfleet states that it can be a straight shot to Sector 001 if the Klingons take that sector they'll be able to make a straight shot at Earth, they don't want that to happen John.
CAPT. BRANSON: How many vessels are going to be there?
ADM. KIRK: A squadron of 12 Shepard-class vessels, 15 Nimitz-class vessels, 14 Magee-class vessels and at least 3 Suurok-class combat cruisers will be there to provide back up for the Enterprise who will be leading the battlegroup.
CAPT. BRANSON: A battlegroup of forty-five vessels.

INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE 
Lieutenant Commander Williams is making repairs at a console as Lieutenant Commander Clarkson looks on, an open TOOLBOX nearby. Ivanova is in the Captain's Chair, reading over a PADD. SUPERNUMERARIES as needed. Ivanova looks up, addresses Williams and Clarkson with mock exasperation.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Are you two ever going to finish?
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: We're just about finished Commander.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS [correcting him]: That's "captain." (explaining) It's an old naval tradition. Whoever's in command of a ship, regardless of rank, is referred to as "captain."
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: Never heard of that before.
LTCMDR. WILLIAM: Me either till my father mentioned it to me once when I was on leave when I served onboard the USS Bismarck, how are you and Lieutenant Taru doing?
LTCMDR. CLARKSON: We're doing well I was suppose to see her at Starbase Pearl Harbor, but didn't have time due to being rushed out by Admiral Garth.
Then the doors opened and Captain Branson enters.
CAPT. BRANSON: Report?
CMDR. IVANOVA: Repairs are almost complete sir.
She vacates the chair and Captain Branson sits in the chair.
CAPT. BRANSON: I know that you all were hoping for some shore leave but we've been ordered to head to Sector 323, if we don't keep this sector from the Klingons then this war will end quickly.
[The bridge crew are shocked hearing.]
CAPT. BRANSON: Kara, set course for Sector 323 warp six.

The senior staff are around the table.
CAPT. BRANSON: Sector 323 is a straight shot at Earth if the Klingons get the sector they'll use it as a staging ground where they'll have enough troops and ships to invade sector 001 and the heart of Federation Space.
The senior staff are shocked by what John just said.
CMDR. IVANOVA: We won't let the Klingons get that sector.
CAPT. BRANSON: I know we won't Z.
LT. MASON: Phaser banks are fully charged and torpedoes are fully loaded and deflectors are fully charged.
DR. CARLSON: My medical staff is ready for incoming wounded and we've got a full stock of radiation treatment.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: My engineering staff is ready to seal hull breaches or repair damaged relays.
CAPT. BRANSON: I know that we're suppose to be explores exploring the far reaches of the Alpha Quadrant but if the Klingons win this war we'll be watching our backs at every turn and it wouldn't be a fun time to explore we've got our work cut out for us dismissed.
The senior staff is dismissed.

CAPT. BRANSON [to com]: Attention 4th battlegroup this is John Branson Captain of the Starship Enterprise by orders of Admiral James T. Kirk I am assuming command of this battlegroup, our mission is to make sure that the Klingons do not get this sector of Federation Space cause if they do it will give them a straight shot at Sector 001 the Terran System and the heart of Federation Space Earth. Now I know that most in the battlegroup aren't from Earth but there's some that don't want their homeworld to be taken over by the Klingon Imperial Empire so maintain sensor scans and a watchful eye out for the Klingons be bold, be brave, be Starfleet Branson out.
Smith ends the hail.
CMDR. IVANOVA: Good speech.
