ACT THREE

FADE IN

EXT-SPACE

The Federation Battlegroup is heading towards the Chin'toka System.

INT-CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM

Taylor is studying on her desktop monitor with a lot of PADDs on her desk as the doors chimed.

TAYLOR: Come.

The doors opened and Commander Martin walks in holding a PADD.

MARTIN: (To Taylor) I have the progress report from Lt. Commander Williams.

She puts it down.

TAYLOR: Thanks John.

MARTIN (Confused): You barely said a word since we left DS9 for the Chin'toka System, (beat) am I guessing that the meeting didn't go well?

She leans back in her chair rubbing her temples.

TAYLOR (Sighs): No the meeting went well I had a chat with Admiral Ross it was about my first officer to see if he's ready to Captain a Starship of his own one day?
