The Archer is at impulse speed.

INT-TAYLOR'S QUARTERS

TAYLOR'S (VO): (continuing) After we won the invasion of the Chin'toka system, my tactical officer was reassigned to the 134th marine division by the Starfleet Marine Corps and it just doesn't sit well with me right now.

Taylor tosses and turns in her bed, and gets up from her bed and puts her hair in a ponytail and sits in the chair behind her desk.

TAYLOR: (To com) Tea, Earl Grey hot.

The replicator makes the cup with the tea in it, and she takes the cup and sips the tea.

TAYLOR: (To com) Computer display the latest tactical updates from the Chin'toka System, (beat) as well as the causality reports.

The desktop monitor shows the tactical update as well as the causality list updates in the Chin'toka system.

CUT TO:

INT-BRIDGE

Sito is sitting in the Captain's Chair, when the turbo-lift doors opened and Commander Martin walks out of it holding a PADD looking at it.

SITO (Surprised): Commander what are you doing up at this hour?

MARTIN (Smiles): Couldn't sleep so decided to get some work done, (beat) so anything to report?

Sito picks up a PADD and hands it to him.

SITO (Annoyed): The latest report from my report today.

Martin looks at it.

MARTIN (Smiles): Same as the last three patrols we did today, last night, and yesterday.
