Commander, scans of the system detect a significant degree of Klingon activity within our proximity. We can be certain that the fleet passed through here.

The fleet’s warp trail has come to a stop within this system. The only logical conclusion is that they switched to impulse engines and are now residing somewhere within this system.

It is only a matter of time before our presence in this system is noticed and our vessel intercepted. We must act before this happens.

My scans of the system are obfuscated with Klingon signatures. If we trim their numbers, I may be able to locate Ensign Tilly and the colonists.

When the Klingons came down to the surface, I thought it would be best to hide my communicator so they wouldn’t be able to identify me as a member of Starfleet.

You have reached us now. Where have the Klingons taken you?

They took us all to some planet called Mufozoj. I don’t even know if I’m saying that right. You should be able to locate me from my communicator’s signal.

Hurry, Commander. I don’t know what the Klingons have against these colonists, but they seem angry. I’m worried about what will happen if we stay here much longer.

When it comes to matters regarding the Klingon Empire, I would normally advise that we seek assistance from Starfleet.

However, due to Ensign Tilly’s involvement in this incident, assistance from Starfleet is out of the question. There are too many potentially dire ramifications to consider.

So you’re the one chasing down the filth from Apcor? If this is the case, then you must have some stake in their operations.

We have no stake in the research of sustainable crop cultivation. A colleague of ours was among those colonists, and she is in your custody now. She is our stake in this matter.

These “colonists” have been researching a new type of bioweapon that specifically targets Klingon lifeforms, and have taken several of our warriors lives in the name of this abhorrent research.

The fact that they managed to keep this from you is testament to their conniving nature. Such degeneracy will not go unpunished. Every last one of them will fall in the name of our fallen kin.

Our exchange before the battle bore some troubling information. The Klingon spoke of the colonists with disgust, as if they somehow previously crossed the Klingons.

My scans suggest that the residual warp trail from the Klingon fleet leads to Ka’Bi. We should head there at once, before the trail fully dissipates.
