CAPT. BRANSON: imagine that the Starfleet Corp of Engineering can't wait to take this thing apart and learn how we can get another major victory against the Romulans should they decide to ever go to war with us.

He leaves as the pair follows him.

CMDR. IVANOVA: How did they get that information?
COMM. BRANSON: A Tal'Shair agent informed them of the situation.
Both Ivanova and Branson are surprised by that.
CAPT. BRANSON: From what I heard father is that the Romulan Agent was killed shortly after he tried to get to the Deltan Ambassador on Earth, shortly before the Ross departed from Earth Spacedock.
Commodore Branson sits at the table.
COMM. BRANSON: That was a cover-up at the request of the Federation Council he's still very much alive and he's remained under the care of the Ross's chief medical officer Doctor M'Qrell.
CAPT. BRANSON: So what do you want us to do?
COMM. BRANSON: We need some information on their newest warbird designs the Kerchan-class vessels that you encountered at Epsilon II and at Draken IV.
CAPT. BRANSON: There's plenty of debris out there for you to find and get information on their new warbirds.
COMM. BRANSON: You're gonna get that information.
CAPT. BRANSON (Surprised, shocked): I-I'm going to do what?
COMM. BRANSON: You and someone from Starfleet Intelligence are going to take the Romulan scout ship into the border, and get information on their new Kerchan-class warbirds that have been appearing a lot in Federation Space.
Captain Branson is a bit unsettled.
COMM. BRANSON: Is something wrong John?
CAPT. BRANSON: Dad with all due respect I don't want someone from Starfleet Intelligence that is seeking glory, I want someone that I can trust to watch my back and not go off and look for glory.
COMM. BRANSON: Alright then who do you want then?
CAPT. BRANSON: Lieutenant Kyle Clarkson, Kyle has been wanting to get his hands on Romulan tech for years and this could be his chance to do it.
COMM. BRANSON: Very well then I'll have the Harrison meet up with you along the border, get prep son you've got a mission.
