*Solais V, Riva City, Sam's cell. Sam sits in the cell when she hears phaser fire outside. She stands up as Hawk runs in, shutting down the forcefield so Sam can escape.*
Sam: You sure took your sweet time!
Hawk: You're welcome.
*He throws her a phaser pistol as he seals the doors.*
The maintenance crawl ways should get us outside. O.S.S. have already set up a safe house underground.
Sam: Oh no. I've got to get back to the Republic.
Hawk: We can't make contact with anyone off-world. I don't even know if the Republic is still in orbit. It's being broadcast that you assassinated the First Minister.
*The two enter the crawl ways and start making their way out.*
Sam: What's our strategy gonna be?
Hawk: Well... I have no idea.
Sam: Oh... fun...
Hawk: We've been in tighter spots.
Sam: Name one.
Hawk: Well...
Sam: Exactly.
Who's Daro Jenn?
*Hawk glances back at her before continuing.*
Hawk: She's a Bajoran terrorist. She believes that all worlds should have a form of isolation from each other.
Sam: How do people like that get taken seriously?
Hawk: You'd be surprised.
Sam: Anything else I should know?
Hawk: Nothing I'm allowed to tell you.
Sam: Naturally.
Hawk: Okay, how do you feel about signing another NDA?
Sam: I could live with it. I've already signed 3.
Hawk: Daro used to be Assault Ops. She was assigned to the Black Ops unit. She infiltrated a Romulan terror cell last year. That's when she actually became a terrorist.
Is she behind this?
Sam: Yeah.
Hawk: TRIBBLE. Then this is much worse than I thought.

James: Hmm broke it huh. OSS is no slouch that is for sure. But do they know it?
*Terry leans his head back stretching a little bit. *
Terry: The Galaxy is at its crucible. What comes out on the other side is up to all of us. This war Joral is waging is a symptom of this world of greed and desperation and corruption that world is dying. With this galaxy nearly mapped out entirely we need to move forward not backwards. That means letting go of the past and what we think works. As it clearly doesn't now.
Even the Elibisi are part of this problem..
Do I know how to fix it? Break the mold. Clear change of intentions and remembering that this galaxy is not the same galaxy as it was over a century ago. Trying to emulate the past does nothing but make small problems bigger.

Vornak: I'm not sure about having the galaxy charted. There's still a lot to discover out on the outer rim. None of Joral's actions in this war are out of greed or corruption; they're out of misguided patriotism and desperation to keep our people alive.
Terry, change is slow. Your history is the illustration of this. Whenever change is rushed, it leads to catastrophe. Change needs to happen, yes, but not all at once. Earth wasn't built in a day, a child doesn't learn to walk in an hour - it's a cycle that has to be carried through with care.
Q *in Terry's mind*: This is something I tried to explain to Northman's a century ago. Humanity was not supposed to evolve for another hundred years - your great-grandfather was just the first.
And, as I quickly confirmed over the next decade, you were not ready. New-types were not ready to handle that power and normals were not ready to answer the existential questions that came with them. It almost led to a repeat of the greatest conflict in your world's history.
Vornak: In the game of bringing change, patience is a necessary virtue.
James: *smirks* See this is why you don't share that kind of knowledge or else the situation would have been taken care of easily. But hey since when is it ever easy. If you don't mind me Matt, I will be working on something.

*James sees the face of Admiral Davis Hammond appear onscreen. He's wearing a period-standard Starfleet uniform with red shoulder bar and four gold pips within a black, gold-rimmed box on either side of his collar. He has short buzz-cut greying hair.*

*Pegasus Galaxy. S.S. Tora Zhiyal, Deck 4. The Zhiyal is now en route to chase down the Bi'frost'a. Mortana is going through the archives in his quarters. Luke and Jack are handling Tara's training, with Luke training her on maintenance with the Elim.
Tara walks down the corridor carrying a large metal object with complicated coil structures as a Gorn walks past her.*
Gorn: Misss Forressterrr.
Tara: Lieutenant S'krit.
Oh, S'krit!
*S'krit turns to face her. His razor sharp teeth, small slit reptilian eyes and dark green scale would make anyone shake in fear - the fact he's nearly 4 meters tall doesn't help either - luckily, being raised on Khitomer, Tara's used to Gorn.*
Have you seen Drake?
S'krit: He'sss in Cargo Bay Three.
Tara: Thanks.
S'krit: Of courssse
*Tara carries on to Cargo Bay 3. She walks in to find Drake working on a small streamlined craft with a ball-shaped window. It has a large impulse drive at the back with small slots on either side concealing winglets. She can see a docking collar at the top. She can also see a dozen missing panels and RCS modules.
Drake hears her come in and slides off the hull of the craft.*
Drake: Tara, what can I do for you?
Tara: Well, I was hoping you could give me access to the industrial replicator.
*She lifts up the object in her hands.*
Drake: Did that... come off the Elim?
Tara: Luke did a pre-flight and we couldn't get the Elim off the deck without the thrusters. We checked and...
Drake: And one of the mag-lifters failed.
*He motions her over to the workbench and she sets it down. Drake has a look around the mag-lifter unit, looking for an easy fix.*
It's not the coils...
I assume you and Luke checked the power connections?
Tara: Worked fine.
Drake: Then it has to be something else. TRIBBLE.
Tara: What is it?
Drake: Whenever we have to do repairs on the Elim, I'm praying the mag-lifters are fine. The Elim's a one-of-a-kind. She was a gift from the Turanian Alliance for an emergency medical supply run I did for them a few years ago. They designed and built it specifically for the Zhiyal.
Do you know why the Turanians still have a military separate from ours?
Tara: The technology and protocols.
Drake: The technology mainly. The electro-magnetic lifting drives can't be replicated by anything except Turanian replicators.
It'll take weeks to get a replacement.
Tara: So...?
Is that what I think it is?
*She nods behind her to the shuttle pod behind them. Drake smiles and leads her over.*
Drake: OTV K42 Starfleet shuttle pod. You can only find them in museums now, but I managed to get a hold of the schematics to build a replica. This girl has been my pride and joy for the past year. Just have to finish mounting the external panels, kit out the cockpit give her some paint and she's ready!
Tara: I remember going on a trip to the Starfleet museum at Earth when I was a kid and walking around the NX-01. I loved stepping into one of these.
Drake: Well, when it's finished, you can come along for the test flight.

Solais V, Riva City, Chambers of Leadership. Daro is in Kola's Office, flanked by two guards.*
Daro: Excuse me?
Kola: We cannot afford to break a away from the Republic, Daro. Much less isolate ourselves.
Daro: This was part of our arrangement, Kola!
Kola: I am altering the arrangement! Pray I do not alter it further!
*Daro snaps her fingers and the guards raise their weapons on Kola.*
What are you--?!
Daro: Did you forget that I went to General Kora before I approached you? He and every one of the generals you've left out of a prison cell are loyal to me.
I only needed you to rally them together and make it look like a coup to the civilian population. Kora is more than happy to take your place... and I don't need you anymore.
*Outside, the generals hear a short burst of phaser fire before Daro walks out.*
Kora: I take it Kola did not stick to the arrangement?
Daro: No, he didn't. Congratulations, General.
*Kora nods.*
Kora: The PDF troops have surrendered, but some of our units on the Meior continent know something's wrong. We've got light clashes in Troi and Data provinces. Still no sign of Commander Allington.
Daro: Get your fleet together. I want 2 ships to stay in orbit. Send the rest back to Solais IX and--
Kora: I already did. What should they do if the Odyssey refuses to leave?
Daro: Inform Starfleet of a violation of your space - and their prime directive - and obliterate them.

Elderly Voice: Greetings, Siraga...
Siraga: You?
Elderly Voice: I have been waiting a long time. Welcome... to Harmony.
Terry: To separate yourself from this action, there does need to be a face for that doubt in Joral. War at this point is unavoidable best we do it to avoid civilian casualties. Something from what I hear is a specialty of mine.
Look. People will see combat can be avoided. There a way to reveal anything that can turn confidence to us?...
