* During the week | * During the week after the battle against the ''[[USS Calamity|Calamity]]'', there was a Search-and-Rescue operation launched to find the crew that had abandoned the ''[[USS Harbinger|Harbinger]]'' in escape pods before it was destroyed. Lieutenant Commander [[Natalie Stark]] was given command of the ''Theurgy’s'' yacht - the [[Manta-class Advanced Scout|Manta-class advanced scout]] ''[[USS Allegiant NX-80978|USS Allegiant]]'' - to find those who had fled the doomed starship and bring them back alive despite any residual brainwashing from the late Commander [[T'Rena]]. [[Dr. Maya|Doctor Maya]] participated in the away mission to help restore the minds of the ''Harbinger'' officers. A memorial service was held in the ''Theurgy’s'' fighter bay for those lost in the battle. | ||

Lieutenant Commander [[Commander Carrigan Trent|Carrigan Trent]] was promoted to her position and to his former <nowiki>rank</nowiki> of Commander, succeeding Edena Rez as the Theurgy's new XO. | ||
* | * Later during the week, a mission to the [[Black Opal]] station was launched, with the aim to restock the torpedo magazines on the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' and get fresh supplies. The mission was meant to be executed without casualties on either side, but poor luck and the intervention of a [[Romulan]] warbird intervened and the station had to be scuttled. The [[Black Opal]] station's commanding officer - Lieutenant Commander [[Jennifer Dewitt]] - and her staff were invited to join the ''Theurgy’s'' crew. They accepted after learning what had really happened to Starfleet Command, and seeing how the ''Theurgy'' crew had defended them against the Romulan ship. | ||
* On the sixth day, all aboard the ''Theurgy'' were allowed to record personal logs for their friends and family in case they wouldn't survive the upcoming mission to [[Starbase 84]]. They took the opportunity to settle unfinished business among themselves, and to say their goodbyes. The logs were meant to be dispersed across Federation space along with the message about the true nature of Starfleet command. | |||

* | * 5<sup>th</sup> of March, Stardate 57547.63. The crew of the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' had prepared for a whole week to undertake a daring mission to [[Starbase 84]]. Situated at the edge of [[Romulan]] space, the starbase was fitted with a ‘whistleblower’ system – a wartime device capable of broadcasting an unstoppable signal alerting the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] to an imminent [[Romulan]] invasion. [[Captain Jien Ives|Ives]] planned to use the system to override the subspace comms restrictions placed on the ''Theurgy'' and send a message that detailed the truth of [[Starfleet Command]]. The only issue? It was impossible to hide the source of the transmission, meaning every ship and station would know where the [[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]] was at. | ||
* | * Before the ''Theurgy´s'' arrival, a damaged ship arrived to the [[Starbase 84]]. After being lost beyond [[Romulan]] space for three years, the Luna-class ship ''[[USS Resolve]]'' returned to [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] space and received a hero’s welcome at [[Starbase 84]]. Soon, joy turned to dismay as an Tal-Shiar operative was murdered on the starbase, and one of the ''Resolve´s'' crew was wrongly arrested as a suspected accomplice. While ascertaining as to why his officer was imprisoned, [[Tristan Kendrick|Captain Kendrick]] – Commanding Officer of the ''[[USS Resolve|Resolve]]'' - enacted a jail-break when the situation turned sour. Alongside his [[operations]] officer, [[Tristan Kendrick|Kendrick]] also liberated a [[Romulan]], [[Drauc T'Laus]], who through his telepathic abilities could reveal that the murder was related to a nameless Romulan traitor with Starfleet rank. | ||
* [[ | * When investigating the murder, [[Ian Hawthorne|Captain Hawthorne]] - Commanding Officer of [[Starbase 84]] - would not authorize the decryption of the only known surveillance recording of the murderer right away, instead dismissing the officers who handed over their findings. Shortly afterwards, the entire ''Resolve'' crew were warranted for arrest, forcing them both to escape starbase <nowiki>security</nowiki>. The development would verify their suspicion that it was [[Ian Hawthorne]] who was the Romulan collaborator and traitor. Understanding why his crew was wrongly accused, [[Tristan Kendrick|Kendrick]] led a mission to detach his ship from the starbase and attempt to escape. This, just as ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' arrived at [[Starbase 84]]. | ||
* The the battle that followed, [[Ian Hawthorne]] | * The the battle that followed, Captain [[Ian Hawthorne]] sent the whole Air Group of the starbase to destroy the ''[[USS Resolve|Resolve]]'', but before the Luna-class starship's <nowiki>warp</nowiki> core detonated, the ''Theurgy]'' used its top saucer's unique docking feature to evacuate the surviving ''Resolve'' crew. | ||
* | * While this happened, the dying [[Tristan Kendrick|Captain Kendrick]] had made it onto the ''[[USS Resolve|Resolve´s]]'' aerowing shuttle, and in determination of ending the threat that [[Ian Hawthorne]] presented to the [[Federation]], he flew inside [[Starbase 84]]'s recreational dome and attacked the Executive Office Complex's top floor, which held the Command Center. Kendrick's shuttle was attacked, loosing altitude, but in order to contain the M/ARA detonation, he crashed the shuttle into the Command Center, and killed [[Ian Hawthorne]]. | ||
* Outside the [[starbase]], [[Task Force Archeron]] arrived in full force, and Ives gave the order to call for aid from the [[Asurian|Asurian]] fleet, which had been cloaked yet present during the battle - a hidden ally made with the help from [[Dyan Cardamone]].

The Asurians gave the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' time to send the Simulcast, beam back all the boarding parties on the starbase, and to have all warp fighters dock with the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]''. Unfortunately, the sacrifice of the [[Asurian|Asurians]] was in vain, since [[Edena Rez|Edena Rez']] former host - Jona Rez - had tampered with the message in the Simulcast, sending out a false recording of Ives threatening the [[Federation]] rather than warning them of the parasitic threat in [[Starfleet]]'s ranks. | ||

The mission to send the Simulcast was a complete failure. [[The Devoted of Morali]] grew more aggressive, and Ives' authority could be in question by both hir original crew, as well as the new crew from the ''[[USS Resolve]]''. Captain Ives gathered all the new personnel aboard to brief them about the true threat to the [[Federation]]. With a new crew aboard, the chain-of-command had to be sorted out, and through the late evening and morning the day after, interviews were made and reports were sorted out so that the high-ranking officers from the ''Resolve'' could get important positions aboard the ''Theurgy''. The integration of the ''Resolve'' crew was not without friction, but in the end, the command structure aboard was preserved. | ||
* On the | * On the second day of repairs in the Azure Nebula, it became evident that [[the Devoted]] would not give up on their faith. They tried to usurp command of the ship and hand it to [[Sarresh Morali]], even though he denounced them. In the coup attempt, several officers died, not counting the ones that [[the Devoted]] attacked individually the night before and through the second and third day. As if the situation aboard was not tense enough, a viral outbreak that sprung from the ''[[USS Resolve|Resolve]]'' forced Main Sickbay to issue a quarantine protocol. The virus was known as Virus 117, and while no one died directly from the outbreak, some members of the crew were incapacitated for a long time. | ||
* On the | * On the third day spent in the [[Azure Nebula]], a strange puzzle box found on [[Starbase 84]] activated the [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Omega_Directive Omega Directive], forcing Captain Ives to contain the knowledge of the molecule aboard hir ship, and to take measures to have it destroyed. Only [[Vivian Martin]] and [[Hi'Jak]] of the [[Science]] department were aware of the directive, but the latter had to leave on an away-mission to a derelict [[Klingon]] outpost named SuD Lang. It was a site inside a [[The Coreless Moon|coreless moon]] that the scavenger [[Sera vers Aldnoah]] claimed had the dilithium crystals the crew needed to repair the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy's]]'' <nowiki>warp</nowiki> drive. | ||
* | * Led by [[ThanIda zh'Wann]] aboard the ''[[SS Sabine NX-59846|SS Sabine]]'', that away-team was not just sent to collect the crystals, but to send a personal message from [[Captain Jien Ives]] to High Chancellor Martok of the Klingon Empire - a message made in hope to set the record straight and to gain aid from the Klingons in undermining the conspiracies of [[Starfleet Command]]. Scientist [[Hi'Jak]], however, betrayed Ives and the crew in the belief that he knew better - being an agent of the Imperial Intelligence agency. Instead of Martok, the message ended up in Martok's son's hands, along with orders to destroy SuD Lang. | ||
* | * That was not all, however. For beneath SuD Lang, officer [[Heather McMillan]] found an ancient city of her ancestors named Tyn'Akir. By accident, she activated the dormant defence systems of the moon, and they were triggered by the arrival of the ''[[IKS Hakkarl]]'', under command of Drex, son of Martok, killing all aboard accept the Klingons whom had already docked with SuD Lang. One of them were not Klingon, however, but an El-Aurian by the name [[Zyrao Natauna]], whom defected to the ''Theurgy'' crew. | ||
* | * In the battle against the Klingons of the ''Hakkarl'', the body of [[ThanIda zh'Wann]] was kept in animated suspension in the ''Sabine´s'' transporter buffer. [[Hi'Jak]], whom Zyrao revealed to be a Klingon spy, was kept in the storage compartment of the shuttle, along with the dilithium for the ''Theurgy''. Little did they know that they would return in the middle of a battle against a new enemy. | ||

Yet they weren't alone, since they brought reinforcements in the form of a dreadnought never seen before in the [[Alpha Quadrant]] | * The 7<sup>th</sup> of March, Stardate 57547.63. While the ''Theurgy'' conducted repairs in the [[Azure Nebula]], she was intercepted by the Asurians that sought vengeance for the defeat at [[Starbase 84]]. Yet they weren't alone, since they brought reinforcements in the form of the ''[[The Versant|Versant]]'', a dreadnought of which the likes had never been seen before in the [[Alpha Quadrant]]. It was an advanced ship that belonged to the mysterious [[Savi]], and following their Code, they abducted Captain Ives and several others of the ''Theurgy'' crew. Before he was beamed off the bridge, Captain Ives gave the order to initiate the Continuance Protocol. It meant that the ''Theurgy'' was to split up into its three different Vectors and retreat in different directions in order to escape. It was a last measure against a threat that couldn't be overcome, and it was issued in order to keep the truth about Starfleet Command from being lost. The ''Sabine'' returned from its mission in the midst of this battle, and with the dilithium crystals delivered in the nick of time, the Thea's three hulls escaped from the battlefield. | ||
* | * During this battle, in sickbay, a stray phaser beam hit Doctor Nicander in the side of his torso, but when he didn't die, his true nature was finally revealed. Nicander had been one of the Infested all along, hiding in plain sight. A battle ensued, during which he was finally subdued and incarcerated in the brig. The discovery of the Chief Medical Officer being one of the enemy called a lot of things that had happened to the ''Theurgy'' into question, the predominant belief being that Nicander had been responsible for a lot of misfortune that the crew had suffered. The truth was not so simple, however, since according to the Doctor, he had reclaimed his sanity at Starbase 84, being severed from the influence of the parasite inside him up until the point where the phaser beam hit him, and the parasite took over in order to keep the host body alive. Over the days to come, Nicander would try to demonstrate his loyalty to the mission by aiding the crew at many turns, but the collective hatred towards the enemy would not so easily be forgotten. | ||
* | * Over the course of the following days, various actors and conflicts had begun to concentrate on the [[Azure Nebula]]. [[Task Force Archeron]] had entered the nebula in the wake of the [[Battle of Starbase 84]], splitting up in search for the ''Theurgy'', and also reaching out to the Klingon Empire. Admiral Sankolov convinced Chancellor Martok that the ''Theurgy'' was responsible for the death of his son at the Coreless Moon. Most crucial, however, was the initiation of a third invasion of the [[Alpha Quadrant]] by the [[Borg]] Collective. | ||
* | * Following the failures of their first two invasions of the [[Federation]], and significant losses during conflicts with Species 8472 and the [[USS Voyager]], the [[Borg]] were forced to resort to unconventional means to reach the [[Alpha Quadrant]]. Thus, in early 2381, two [[Borg]] cubes discovered a subspace aperture within [[Borg]] space that led to the [[Azure Nebula]]. The cubes promptly used the 50,000 lightyear shortcut and emerged in the [[Alpha Quadrant]], swiftly moving to reconnoiter the sector, while the Collective amassed a large armada on the other end of the subspace tunnel. The invasion had begun, and [[the Borg Queen]] entered the [[Azure Nebula]] on a Tactical Cube ahead of the invading force - joining the two scouting cubes in [[Federation]] Space. | ||
* At the same time, the ''[[USS Theurgy]]'' was locked in a battle for survival | * It hadn't taken long before the [[Borg]] vanguard encountered resistance. One cube had engaged and destroyed a [[Federation]] starship, the ''[[USS Endeavour]]''. The other cube had found and engaged the ''[[USS Cayuga]]'', inflicting heavy damage and forcing the crippled [[Federation]] vessel to flee into the [[Azure Nebula]]. Still, [[Borg]] jamming prevented either the ''[[USS Endeavour|Endeavour]]'' or the ''[[USS Cayuga|Cayuga]]'' from warning the [[Federation]] of the threat. However, good fortune ensured that the ''Cayuga’s'' distress call was answered by a vector of the renegade ''[[USS Theurgy]]'', which rendered assistance and spread the word of the [[Borg]] threat. | ||
* Meanwhile, the third Borg vessel of the vanguard - the [[Tactical]] Cube that carried [[the Borg Queen]] - was discovered by eleven [[Starfleet]] ships from [[Task Force Archeron]] whilst they hunted for the ''Theurgy''. The ensuing battle would prove to be savage. All eleven starships were lost, with all their crews either killed or assimilated, but against all odds, the [[Starfleet]] force did succeed in destroying the [[Borg]] cube. Their sacrifice, at the cost of nearly four thousand lives, would prove crucial. Shortly after the battle, the other two [[Borg]] cubes reached the debris field of the battle, and initiated the Royal Protocol - using a female drone to create the new [[Borg]] Queen. | |||
* At the same time, after enacting the Continuance Protocol, the ''[[USS Theurgy]]'' was locked in a battle for survival on separate fronts. The saucer section faced the other half of [[Task Force Archeron]], the middle section encountered the ''[[IKC Rotarran]]'' and Chancellor Martok, while the stardrive section faced the surviving remnants of the Asurian forces. | |||

* After | * The 10<sup>th</sup> of March, stardate 57555.17. After engagements with the [[Asurian]]s, [[Klingon]]s and the rest of [[Task Force Archeron]], the three ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' vectors finally reunited. However, thanks to the ''[[USS Cayuga]]'' - as well as survivors of the ''[[USS Endeavour]]'' - the crew of the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' now knew of the [[Borg]] threat. Faced with the prospect of an all-out [[Borg]] invasion, the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' addressed that threat rather than trying to save the abducted aboard the ''[[The Versant|Versant]]''. That decision had not come easy, since First Officer [[Carrigan Trent]] had to be relived of duty by [[Jennifer Dewitt]] because of the man being emotionally compromised. Command passed to Wenn Cinn, being the Second Officer of the ''Theurgy'', and the course was set towards the heart of the Azure Nebula and the aperture that led to Borg space. | ||
* | * It was there that the ''[[USS Cayuga]]'', in conjunction with a [[Klingon]] fleet under the personal command of Chancellor Martok, engaged the [[Borg]] cube that guarded the subspace aperture. In the following hour, the Klingons sustained heavy losses. Out of the twelve ships which started the battle, several Klingon ships were destroyed while yet more were assimilated. The [[Klingon]] flagship, the battleship ''[[IKC Negh’var]]'', sustained serious damage, but nevertheless, the Klingons successfully held the line together with the ''Cayuga''. After that hour of battle and bloodshed, the ''[[USS Theurgy]]'' dropped out of warp to join the battle. The once formidable multivector dreadnought had sustained heavy damage, preventing the use of the ''Theurgy’s'' potent Multi Vector Assault Mode, while the vessel’s squadron of [[warp]] fighters were similarly diminished. The Lones Wolves squadron, along with the ''[[USS_Allegiant_NX-80978|Allegiant]]'' and the surviving [[Klingon]] ships, used the debris field around the [[Borg]] Cube to manoeuvre in cover, fighting desperately. | ||
* | * When all hope seemed lost, a new vessel arrived: ''[[the Versant]]'', the five kilometer long [[Precept]]-class ship of the [[Savi]] Flotilla. Led by Captain Ives, following the liberation of the ship’s prisoners - a mix of captives from the ''[[USS Endeavour]]'' and the ''[[USS Theurgy]]'' - the abductees had proceeded to gain control of the goliath ship and bring it to the battlefield. Thus, with the aid of [[Thea]], ''[[the Versant]]'' opened fire on the [[Borg]] Cube with its graviton beam lances, inflicting catastrophic damage on the Queen's [[Borg]] Cube. Three large holes were punched clean through the Cube’s hull, and seizing the opportunity, the surviving Lone Wolves regrouped to launch a daring attack. The fighters flew directly through the holes in the Cube, firing their weapons on the unshielded interior of the vessel as they went before emerging on the other side. The density of the metal mass reflected the shockwaves of the blasts, and the effect was a lot more emphasised than any exterior impact could possibly be. The damage proved catastrophic, crippled the Cube’s ability to fight. ''[[the Versant|The Versant]]'' and the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' later finished off the [[Borg]] ship with a final barrage, permanently destroying it and also killing the Borg Queen. It was, however, too late, for the aperture to Borg space had opened. | ||

The officers on ''[[the Versant]]'' held a device powered by what the [[Borg]] termed “Particle 010”, but what the [[Federation]] knew as the “Omega Molecule”. It was the device that had triggered the Omega Protocol on the ''Theurgy'' before the Savi attacked, and which the Savi had taken from the ship. If detonated, the particles were capable of unfathomable destruction that would undoubtedly destroy the subspace tunnels as well as affecting the local subspace strata for lightyears around the [[Azure Nebula]]. [[Warp]] travel in the region would be rendered impossible for millennia. Since it could not be done remotely, the plan - desperate as it was - involved someone staying behind the detonate Omega device while the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'', ''[[USS Cayuga|Cayuga]]'' and the Klingons fled the nebula. Two volunteers stood out. Doctor Lucan Nicander, who sought redemption but who's credibility was low because of him being one of the Infested, even though he proclaimed to be severed from his parasite's influence. The second volunteer was [[Wenn Cinn]], whom the [[Bajoran]] Prophets had manipulated events to make this very sacrifice. | ||
* The decision was made, and Captain Ives gave hir orders. ''[[The Versant|The Versant]]'' prisoners were beamed back home to the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'', while the Omega device was taken by [[Wenn Cinn]] onto a shuttlecraft. Too heavily damaged to escape the Omega detonation, the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' moved to access a different aperture, although they didn’t know where it would lead. | * The decision was made, and Captain Ives gave hir orders.

For the [[Savi]], the battle was the start of an enormous upheaval. The presence of the [[parasites]] in the Scion High Council was exposed, as was their corruption of [[Savi]] culture and society. The Voice, one of the Savi leaders, would lead the fight against the Scions in the months to come, after the ''Versant'' left the battlefield in the last moment. | ||
* | * The Omega detonation, as feared, was enormous. The subspace tunnels were instantly destroyed, as were the hundreds of [[Borg]] cubes that were already flying through them as the tunnels collapsed. The [[Azure Nebula]] was ignited in an explosion even brighter than a supernova, with the light due to be visible across the entire galaxy for decades to come. [[Warp]] travel would become impossible in the vicinity of the [[Azure Nebula]] after the detonation, stranding millions of people and five inhabited planets without [[warp]] drive. The farthest the shockwave reached was the Nimbus System, but [[Starbase 84]] was spared. Chancellor Martok could escape on the ''[[IKS Vor'nak]]'' and the ''[[USS Cayuga|Cayuga]]'' survived, successfully outrunning the blast at high [[warp]]. As did [[Task Force Archeron]], having been warned by the ''[[USS Cayuga|Cayuga]]'' of the threat as they approached the battlefield at the heart of the nebula. Despite the cost, the victory saved hundreds of billions of lives throughout the Alpha and Beta Quadrants and permanently closed off the [[Borg]] beachhead. | ||
* | * After emerging from an aperture several hundred lightyears away, the ''Theurgy'' was barely spaceworthy. Nevertheless, it had been a victory. The plans of the [[Infested]] had been foiled, while the [[Borg]] threat had been neutralised. As a result of the battle, the crew of the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' gained an alliance with the [[Klingon]] Empire after Chancellor Martok had personally witnessed the truth of their claims about the parasitic threat - killing an Infested on the bridge of the ''Negh'Var''. As such, the ''[[USS Theurgy|Theurgy]]'' set a course for the world of [[Aldea]], a vassal world of the Klingons, where the ship could make repairs, find safe harbour... and rest. | ||

Latest revision as of 18:53, 6 November 2022
In a failed plot to destroy the Federation, Romulan Praetor Shinzon was defeated at the Battle of the Bassen Rift, leaving Senator Tal’aura to take the reigns as the new Praetor, with the support of Fleet Commander Tomalak. Commander Donatra openly opposed the new Praetor, and began a rebellion backed by the strength of the Romulan 3rd and 5th Fleets. Additionally, the Reman people openly demanded a continent on Romulus and reparations for hundreds of years of slavery. A Romulan blockade of Remus was the Praetor’s reply, as well as cutting food and medical supplies to the sister planet.
The Federation sent Starfleet ships to aid in deescalating the growing tensions, among them the USS Theurgy and all ships led by Captain Riker on the USS Titan. The efforts were, unfortunately unsuccessful. Affairs within the Romulan Empire deteriorated quickly for the Federation; with the continued Reman upheaval and skirmishes with Donatra’s opposition fleet. Open Civil War began in 2380 when Donatra was able to capture and hold a number of key agricultural worlds, establishing the Imperial Romulan State. When returning to base in San Francisco after a long diplomatic mission to Romulus during the aforementioned events, the USS Theurgy enjoyed some shore-leave.
By the time, in November of 2380, her Commanding Officer - Captain Jien Ives - was supposed to get a new commissioning, but coincidence had it otherwise. When the Senior Staff of the ship and Ives gathered for what was supposed to be the last time, they happened to uncover something disturbing. Live transmissions, voices of Starfleet Command. They were hearing talks about the future of the Federation, its downfall at the hands of the speakers, and how their 'kin' would overturn the Federation Council. Yet most chilling of all, was that they spoke about each other in third person, as if addressing strangers, referring to themselves as "skin-puppets". The Theurgy´s crew recognized the voices and knew them to be the Commander in Chief, the Chief of Staff, and the Chief of Starfleet Operations. It wasn't just those three individuals involved, however, since other admirals were mentioned too. Judging by what they overheard, it was clear that these impersonators had been operating for months... perhaps even years.
Ives and the Senior Staff of the Theurgy opted to try and investigate, collect proof, build a case, and expose how many they were. Yet after mere hours, their efforts were compromised. With their arrest or assassination imminent, they had to run, meaning to take the truth to someone that would hear them out. They had to flee Earth, since orders from Starfleet Command were issued to destroy the Theurgy on the charges of treason. TheTheurgy managed to leave the Sol System but they were persecuted across Federation space for two months. Hounded by their own fleet. At every turn, they were protecting the truth against all odds, forced to fight their brothers and sisters in Starfleet, whom were all ignorant of the usurpers that were giving them orders. As best as they might, they tried to disable their pursuers, beseeching them to hear them out, but the enemy was too influential, and they were many, all peddling the lies that Captain Ives and his crew defected to the Romulan Star Empire when they failed to negotiate peace at Romulus. Command also forbid any kind of communication with the Theurgy, claiming that the Ship A.I. would be able to use the subspace link to overtake other starships.
After enduring the two months of gruesome chase through the Alpha Quadrant, the Theurgy - damaged and hunted to an utterly desolate part of the Alpha Quadrant - finally managed to hide from the Task Force that had been deployed to destroy them. It was named Task Force Archeron, led by Admiral Sankolov - one of the admirals they knew to be compromised. By that time, it was January of 2381, and the ship was in need of repairs. Without allies, the situation seemingly hopeless, yet morale was gradually returning to the crew following the Captain's new mission statement. The truth be their witness, they would restore Starfleet to the Federation Council, and enlighten their fleet about the immediate danger they unknowingly were in by carrying out the orders of Starfleet Command.
