Interesting. Well, the board has much to discuss after this demonstration. Please, meet us once more in the Lorillia system.

I apologize for the deception, Commander Riker, but it was necessary. My flight from Romulan space was not as… subtle as I would have liked.

Why did you defect? You’re Tal Shiar. You don’t get that high up the ladder by questioning orders.

No. Indeed, you do not. I have trusted the word of my superiors all my life. I believed in our Empire, in the Romulan way of life.

However, this war has changed us. I have seen the brightest minds our civilization has to offer, wasted on building engines of destruction.

Even if I believed you, Starfleet might not. It wouldn’t be the first time that a Tal Shiar assassin tried to bluff their way through the frontline.

I expected this, and so I did not come empty-handed. I stole the plans for our greatest, most closely guarded technological advancement… Ship cloaking.

If Starfleet can grant me safe passage and protection within their borders, I will share these plans with them.

Ship cloaking… Well, this has just flown way above my paygrade. Commander, I think it’s time we bring this to the captain.

The Admiralty board has rendered its judgement. The Romulan Neletha will be offered full clemency for any offences against the Federation during her time with the Tal Shiar.

In addition, she will be granted housing and protection under Starfleet regulation 47B. However, should this device prove illegitimate, following inspection, these rights may be rescinded. Are we clear?

Commander, I think it best that we return to your Station. I imagine that this is quite overwhelming for her.

Dialogue
It is quite unorthodox for an Independent to seek a hearing from an Admiralty board, Mister Picard. However, given your… service to Starfleet, we thought it only fair that we hear you out.

Picard, how did you come across this woman?

She contacted my second in command, fearful that the Tal Shiar may be listening in to Starfleet communications.

This would not be the first time a Tal Shiar agent has attempted to seek refuge, only to betray us. Why should we believe this woman?

She comes bearing a great and generous gift… The secrets of Romulan ship cloaking. In exchange for protection, she has agreed to turn it over to Starfleet.

That is, indeed, quite a gift… If it is genuine. We will need to see it in action, first, to determine its legitimacy.

A Tal Shiar agent? This is quite unorthodox, Number One.

I have come to help the Federation, Captain. I carry with me the secrets of Romulan ship cloaking. A technology which, in the right hands, could turn the tide of the war.

She’s genuine, sir. I can attest to that.

Even if I believed her, we have no power to make such a promise, Will. We have no authority in this universe, no rank.

Perhaps not, but we do have some influence. In fact, we have a man on board this very vessel who is seen as a hero by Starfleet in this universe… Even if they don’t know who he really is.

I know where you are going with this, Number One, and it is absolutely out of the question. We cannot interfere with the proper flow of time in this universe anymore than we already have.

The proper flow of time has already been thrown off, Captain. This technology could save countless lives.

And our interference could put countless lives at risk! We swore not to meddle in this universe. There can be no exceptions.

A wise man once told me that life is an exercise of exceptions. Your actions with the Outlaws earned you a hero’s reputation, sir. It’s the only chance we have.

… Very well. I will try to get into contact with the admiralty board and convene a hearing. Commander, we will need you to transport us using your vessel. The Enterprise will be far too conspicuous here.
