Act 2, Scene 3:

In the clearing next to the shuttle crash the chancellor and Trish have beamed down and are having a disagreement

Roy: Captain, you said that both of the renegade captains were in your custody. I only count one, have you forgotten how to count or did you allow one to escape?
Gamble: (sitting next to tree) Well, it seems that they lied to you, imagine that, a lying Klingon. Are you really surprised?
Roy: (turning on her) Shut up, you’re in no position to be making jokes. Your life depends on the actions of the other criminal captain. (turning back to Trish) Well, where is he?
Nathan: (stepping into the clearing) I’m here chancellor, your people lied to you if they said that they had captured me. I am coming here voluntarily to prove that we had nothing to do with the destruction of your shuttle.

On the Hale

D: (sitting) Contact the Centurion.
H. Tact.: They are responding.
D: On screen.
Monroe: (on viewscreen) Comm. Tajalle, how can we be of assistance?
D: The captains of the Nathan Hale and the Ulysses are being put on trial for the destruction of a Klingon shuttle.
Monroe: I take it that they didn’t do it?
D: No they didn’t.
Monroe: We can be there within the hour if we break the treaty.
D: Please do so.
Monroe: On our way. Centurion out.
D: (to Comm. Gengo via communicator) Comm. Gengo, the Centurion is on its way and will be here within the hour. I think that the Marines should be present in case the Klingons try something.
Gengo: (audio only) You mean like kidnapping our captains, I just can’t imagine them doing something like that.
D: Yes, they’ve been so courteous and cooperative up to now.

Act 3, Scene 1:

On planet communication via communicator

Ison: (at edge of clearing) Comm. Ison to Ulysses.
Gengo: Gengo here.
Ison: Capt. Gastineau has been taken into custody but has not been able to speak to Captain Gamble, they are being kept apart. We are to be witnesses to the trial. Do you have anything to report?
Gengo: The Centurion is on her way, so you will need to stall the Klingons.
Ison: We will do our best. Ulysses out. (to Lt. Perez who is standing next to her) Now, how in the world am I supposed to stall them? Any suggestions, Lt?
Perez: Well, let's see, we could break into song, tell them a story or maybe do a dance.
Ison: That's great. Any helpful suggestions, David?
Perez: Well, we could just walk up there and ask them to wait until the Marines land. Do you think that they'll believe that?
Ison: Probably not, so it's worth a shot. Let's go.
Perez: Let's? Do you have a mouse in your pocket Comm.?
Ison: We don't have pockets. It was your idea so you're coming with me.

As they begin walking over they are stopped

Tom: (standing in their path) Where do you think you're going? We don't need any more prisoners if you're volunteering?
Perez: (whispering to Ison) I told you that Klingons are the trailer trash of the Universe.
Tom: What did you say? I believe that we can use you for target practice in preparation for your captain's death.

He grabs David and shoves him over next to Nathan
