We meet again, Starfleet. You thought you could outrun us, didn’t you? Thought you could warn your Pakled friends to hide the senator before we came looking for him. Well, you’re too late!

Hey, my man, good to see you again. Look, this whole thing is a misunderstanding, okay? We’re not here to hide the senator. We’re here to set him free. We’ve got a man on the ground who–

So I lied, I impersonated, I exposed myself to the entire quadrant. I am an accessory to public indecency. But the most damning thing of all; I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would.

Mariner was right about one thing. All of my colleagues seeing my junk is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant, so I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it.

There’s nothing embarrassing about keeping a personal log. We’re supposed to, we’ve been over this!

If it’s nothing embarrassing, then let me hear it. Come on, it’s about time you let me hear one of your little monologues!

We have reached the end of the personal log. Ensign Boimler would surely appreciate it if we deleted all traces of this recording. However, it would be advisable for us to save a copy… Just in case.

You don’t know what’s gotten into me? Of course you don’t know! You’re too busy playing puppet master for your own amusement to ever consider someone else’s feelings!

Look, if you’d just calm down for a moment, you’ll see that none of this was in vain. The Romulans won’t start a war!

There’s no guarantee of that…

Mariner

Oh, but I think that there is. You see, when the Romulans have stopped laughing and wiped the tears from their eyes, they’ll realize that the senator is back with them, safe and sound!

Mariner

Having miraculously survived Pakled captivity thanks to the brave interjection of a noble Starfleet captain – nudge, that’s you – they’ll see that the Federation aren’t their enemies.

But they’ve already discovered that I’m a fraud!
Objective ID
2,090,436,822
Phase

Character
Mariner
Dialogue
I don’t think that they even care, because when you’re standing there, just hanging breezy in the wind for all to see, nobody cares what your rank is.

Mariner

So, with a seemingly legitimate captain in one hand, and a totally-not-dead senator in the other, I ask you, Captain… What conclusion would you draw?
Objective ID
2,090,436,822
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Boimler
Dialogue
That Starfleet helped to save the senator’s life, not put it in danger.
Objective ID
2,090,436,822
Phase

Character
Mariner
Dialogue
Exactly. And the more the Romulans watch that footage of you standing there with your cute little hiney on display, the more they’ll believe we could never do something like put one of their senators in danger.

That’s why you came to me, isn’t it?

Because you knew I could convince you to do those things that you weren't capable of doing. Well, it worked. You'll get what you want, peace between the Romulans and the Federation.
Objective ID
2,090,436,822
Phase

Character
Mariner
Dialogue
And If your conscience is bothering you, you should soothe it with the knowledge that you may have just saved the entire Alpha Quadrant…

2,090,436,822
Phase

Character
Mariner
Dialogue
And all it cost was risking the life of one Romulan senator, one count of indecent exposure, and the self-respect of one Starfleet ensign. I don't know about you, but I'd call that a bargain.

Look, I’ll get over this. I’ve been through enough embarrassing situations to know that this will die down soon. It’s just going to take some time. For now, we should get the Gecko back to Starbase 74.

Wait, if we try to leave then Starfleet and the Romulans are just going to fire on each other… Alright, this has gone too far. Open a channel. Hail every single nearby ship. I know what needs to be done…

No time, ensign. I don’t need the costume to stay in character. Captain Dagger is the man inside, not the clothes he wears.

Oh, for the love of… Bridge crew; Secure the senator, reprimand those ensigns, and tell the nude one to put on some clothes! Once again, we’re the laughing stock of the entire damned quadrant…

So it blew up in my face. And all the lies and the compromises, the inner doubts and rationalizations, were all for nothing.

After the crew were done laughing, they negotiated Senator Vrimar’s release from Pakled custody.

We even managed to convince the Pakled in the end that this was all due to a malfunctioning universal translator onboard the senator’s shuttle.

There didn't seem to be anything more to do. So we returned to the Cerritos. And that’s where all the dirty laundry was aired…

If the Romulans discovered that my rank was a forgery, if they realized that we were trying to trick them, it could push them even farther into the enemy camp.

They could start to openly fire on the Federation. If worse came to worst, they could actually start a war against us.

That’s eh… not the only thing. Seeing as we need to get you in and the senator out, you’re going to need to take a communicator. And also seeing as you don’t have any pockets…
