EXT-SPACE

The Archer enters orbit around Earth.

TAYLOR'S (VO): ''Military Log supplemental. We've arrived at Earth after hearing what happened to Admiral Nakamura, (beat) I've had the remains beamed up to the ship for Doctor Carlson to run scans on them.''

INT-SICKBAY

Doctor Carlson runs scans on the remains and then closes his medical tricorder.

CARLSON (CMO, Sighs): I examined the remains, (beat) and it's no denying it they belong to Admiral Nakamura.

Taylor leans forward and not happy about it.

TAYLOR (Worried): What did this?

Steve thinks.

CARLSON (CMO): My guess it would of been a phaser set on maximum setting, (beat) it's the only thing that I can think of that can do this kind of damage.

Martin looks at the remains.

MARTIN (Worried): (To Taylor) I'll take Sito to the Admiral's office and scan the office for the weapon.

Taylor nods and Martin leaves sickbay.

INT-ADMIRAL'S NAKAMURA OFFICE

Martin and Sito materialized in the Admiral's office and they take out their tricorders and starts scanning for the weapon.

MARTIN (Annoyed): Anything Sito?

Sito is still scanning where she's at.

SITO: Nothing yet John so what are we looking for?

Martin is scanning.

MARTIN (Smiles): Whatever we can use to help Kyle in this upcoming trial, (beat) and that he didn't do it.

Sito moves her tricorder to the holo-camera, and it beeps rapidly.

SITO (Surprised): John I think I found something.

Martin walks over to her.

MARTIN: What did you find?

SITO (Smiles): It's a holo-camera.

Martin scans it.

MARTIN (Smiles); It has a recording in it, (beat) download it and save it we'll need it if we're gonna help Kyle out.

She starts downloading the camera.
