I presented this option to the Commander as it was the only guaranteed way to keep the research from the Romulans.

They’re willing to kill for it. But they’re more willing to pay for it. How do you think I ended up in this situation to begin with? I only need 42,000 Dilithium to get out of here.

It could also be very dangerous once in the hands of the Romulans. It may be wiser to destroy all traces of it.

While I would love to see the look on the Romulans’ faces when you show up with the research, it’s probably safer for me to get far away from the whole situation.

If this goes wrong, I’ll be ready to say ‘I told you so’. Assuming I’m not dead.
