The doors whooshed opened and her father walks in.

MARTIN (Smiles): RISE AND SHINE, Kelly.

INT-SHUTTLE BAY ONE

TAYLOR'S (VO): ''Military Log Supplemental. We're on course for Deep Space Nine for our daily overhaul of our navigational systems, (beat) Cadet Kelly Martin and Admiral Martin will meet up with the Olympia at the station.''

Both Captain Taylor and Admiral Martin are walking towards the shuttle.

VICE ADM. MARTIN: (To Taylor) As soon as you've completed your layover meet up with a task force of Federation and Klingon ships in sector four-eight-five, (beat) they believe that the Dominion are attempting to take the system from us.

Taylor puts her hands behind her back.

TAYLOR: (nods) Aye, sir and are you sure you don't want us to take you to the station ourselves?

The doors opened and Cadet Martin walks towards them and the shuttle.

VICE ADM. MARTIN (smiles): No it's ok we're taking a short cut to the station it will give me and Kelly time to bond.

Kelly walks on the platform.

CADET MARTIN: (to Admiral Martin) Ready to depart sir?

VICE ADM. MARTIN (Smiles): (nods) Let's go Cadet.

They walk onto the shuttle and it powers up.

The Archer drops out of warp and the shuttle departs and the Sovereign-Class ship leaps back into the warp.

INT-SHUTTLE CANOPY

Kelly is inputting commands into her console.

CADET MARTIN: We're an hour away from DS9 sir.

James leans back in the chair.

VICE ADM. MARTIN (Smiles): You know this is a wonderful trip already, (beat) I get to see my granddaughter and spend time with her while we're taking a shortcut to DS9.

Then the sensors beep rapidly.

VICE ADM. MARTIN (worried): What?

Kelly runs her fingers across the console.

CADET MARTIN: (off her console) There's a ship heading our way bearing two-one-three mark five-seven-four, (beat) it's a Jem'Hadar Heavy Cruiser!

Admiral Martin is shocked about this.
