INT-MARTIN'S QUARTERS

Both John and Sito are cuddling in bed sleeping together, when the com activates.

MASON (OC): Bridge to Commander Martin.

Martin stirs.

MARTIN: (To Com) Martin here go ahead.

MASON (OC): We're receiving a hail from Earth, it's for you sir.

Martin gets out of bed and gets a shirt on and goes to his desk and activates his desk top monitor.

MARTIN: (To Com) Route it here Lieutenant.

The monitor activates and shows the office of Commodore Marie Martin at Starfleet Command.

MARTIN: (Surprised) Mom it's good to see you, (beat) we're on course for Babel and should be there in about four days/

Marie's face shows sadness.

MARTIN (MOTHER, On monitor): John its your father he's dead, his fleet was responding to a distress call from one of our starbases along the Cardassian border, he covered his fleet to help survivors evacuate the starbase and then nothing from him I've sent a search team but they've not come back from searching for him.

John sits in his chair sad then look at the screen.

MARTIN: (Leans forward) Mom give us the coordinates of the Olympia's last known position,(beat) I need to know for sure if he's really dead I'll bring him home dead or alive.

Maria nods at her son and presses a few commands into a panel on her side.

MARTIN (SON): (Leans forward) Got it mother.

He ends the transmission and looks at Sito.
