3rd POV

After the away team was attacked from the Gelrakians, they were taken to prison. But they didn't stop from there as they sent a handful of ships to go after the USS Cerrito which they didn't repel the gelrakian attacks due to "Stay on schedule" situation. Right now we see Ransom is working on a speech, YN is taking a nap, and Mariner is trying to talk to one of the guards.

Mariner: Hey, guy

Mariner: Hey, guy. Hey, guy? Hey, guy, is this what you wanted to do with your life? Just captured people, is that what you dreamt of when you were a little whatever you are? Are you fulfilled by that?

Gelrakian: Yes.

Mariner: (Surprise.) Wow, all right uh...well, do you know what? That means you're lame. You're a loser.

Ransom: Hey, keep it down! I'm writing a speech that will convince them to let us go

Ransom: Hey, keep it down! I'm writing a speech that will convince them to let us go.

YN: Yeah Mariner, the guy needs peace and quiet to focus.

Mariner: Since when did you take his side?

YN: Since he's been quiet while writing a speech which gives me the opportunity to take a nap from all that task and time stuff problem.

Mariner: Okay, no argument there. But also a speech, seriously? Permission to speak freely.

Ransom: You always speak freely. Nobody can stop you from speaking freely!

Mariner: All right, you know what you've got going on? You have broad shoulders and shiny hair and you talk a good game, but when it comes to actually doing the job, the job, you don't have it. I'm calling bullsh-t on your whole thing here, sir.

Ransom: You're so busy breaking protocol that you never look ahead. One of these days you're going to get someone killed, ensign.
