Description
With Kahless and the Red Path's mission to conquer the universe looming over their heads, the Defiant crew must overcome their differences if they're to prevent another massacre, and it's the most unlikely of diplomats to convince them of as much.
Summary
Log entries
- First Officer's log.
- We have escaped the Orion pirates with our ship – and our lives – intact... for now. We also now possess the transponder code to the rogue vessel of Klingon Emperor Kahless II and his Red Path cult.
- But Captain Worf has been gravely injured, and I am left to answer for a command decision made with what might be described best as... questionable logic.
