Fade In

Ext. Space, Warp field

The Helena is at high warp heading towards the wormhole to drop off Ensign Thorn to Deep Space Nine, to be taken to Earth for trial.

Int. Deck 7, Brig

In the Brig Captain Taylor walks in and nods at the Ensign and walks over to the first cell that's holding Ensign Thorn.

Capt. Taylor: I expected more from you.

Thorn looks at her.

Ens. Thorn: Captain you have to understand why I did what I did.

She paces about and looks at him.

Capt. Taylor: Do I understand you murdered Ensign Nelson to hide your tracks Mr. Thorn.

He looks at her.

Ens. Thorn: Captain I've lost a good friend onboard the Odyssey when she was destroyed, I was approached by someone in the higher up position to contact the Dominion command here in the Gamma Quadrant.

She walks up to the force field.

Capt. Taylor: Why you answer to me not to someone in Starfleet Command you take orders from me that's it Ensign.

He gets up from the cot and walks up to the force field.

Ens. Thorn: I am apart of Section 31 Captain I've always have been even when I joined your crew, Ensign Nelson was about to discover what I was doing so I had to do what I needed to cover my tracks even if it meant killing the young Ensign.

She gets frustrated at him.

Capt. Taylor: When we get back home we're dropping you off at DS9 to be delivered to Earth for trial, You've betrayed everything that uniform stands for.

Thorn looks at her.

Ens. Thorn: Captain, There are some obligations that go beyond my loyalty to you and this crew.

She leaves the Brig.
