ACT TWO

FADE IN

EXT-SPACE

The Archer is at high warp.

INT-WAR ROOM

Commander Martin is inputting commands into the console as the doors opened, and Kyle walks into the room.

CLARKSON: John it's good to see you again man look I know I said somethings that I didn't mean to but I was mad and angry at you for not sticking up for me when I was on trial for those deaths which I didn't cause.

MARTIN (Smiles): I know Kyle but that's not why I called you here to the Archer we've got a mission and I chose you to be my wingman on this.

The screen changes to the Federation-Romulan Neutral Zone Border.

CLARKSON (Surprised): That's the Netural Zone border?

Martin walks next to him.

MARTIN: (nods) Yeah it is.

Martin walks over to the console as Kyle follows him as well.

CLARKSON: John what the hell is going on?

Martin hands him the PADD.

MARTIN: (To Clarkson) We're going to convince the Romulans to leave the non-aggression pact with the Dominion/Cardassian Alliance and join the war on our side.

Clarkson is shocked by this.

CLARKSON (Worried): (re: PADD) We're using a Romulan shuttle?

MARTIN: (nods) Yeah.

(Com beeps)

MASON (OC): Bridge to Commander Martin, sir we're approaching the border.

Both Kyle and John leave the War Room.

EXT-SPACE

The Archer approaches Starbase thirty-Nine Sierra.

INT-SHUTTLE BAY

Both Kyle and John walk into the shuttle bay wearing black outfits.

SITO: John I want you to come back alive to me and Kelly, (beat) and be careful.

They kiss as Kyle rolls his eyes.

CLARKSON: (Joking) Come on Romeo let's go.

Both John and Kyle enter the Romulan shuttle and it lifts off and exits the shuttle bay.

EXT-SPACE

The Shuttle departs the shield perimeter of the Archer.

INT-BRIDGE

Taylor is standing up.

TAYLOR: (To com) Archer to Romulan Shuttle good luck.

MARTIN (OC): Acknowledge Captain, (beat) you'll hear from us in three days Martin out.

The Romulan Shuttle is at full impulse speed.
