Commander, it is time. Our fleet is prepared for a precision strike on the Romulan station.

Captain, wait. Are you sure this assault is wise? If the Romulans decide to retaliate, it would be catastrophic for the Vulcan people.

Captain Mensala
Dialogue
Do you really think we would be foolish enough to invite a Romulan counter-attack? We will not be using Vulcan ships for this attack. We have secured this fleet from our enemies.

Captain Mensala
Dialogue
When the Romulans investigate the assault, they will find no evidence of Vulcan involvement. We will be safe from any retaliation. Which is why it was so important that Lenala was stopped.

You are going to frame someone else for the assault? Captain, that is almost… Romulan.

Dialogue
It is the logical course of action. We would not survive a traditional war with Romulus, nor can we allow them to strike at us first. So, we must give them a new enemy to fight.

And who will be the scapegoats, Captain? Who will bear the consequences of our actions?

Captain Mensala
Dialogue
The Klingons, of course. Their violent history and temperamental nature makes them an ideal scapegoat. Regardless, Toryn, you will follow your orders. The lives of all Vulcans depend on it.

Damn Klingons! You filthy brutes just can’t keep from causing havoc, can you?

Do not answer, Commander. We cannot afford to break our image now.

All your talk of honor and yet here you are! Hypocrites, each and every one of you. Well, I’m not going to go down easily. For the glory of Romulus!

What did he mean by that? Attacking a strategic target like a military base is hardly outside the Klingons’s usual modus operandi…

Well done on clearing the area, Commander. Now all that remains is to destroy the Station.

Captain, something seems off about all this. I’d like to request that we get a full scan of the base before we begin bombardment.

There is no time, Toryn. You have your orders. You can follow them or I can find someone who will. It is your decision to make.

Toryn, if it helps, my scans will complete in the time it takes for the bombardment to complete. I can give you a full breakdown of the results afterward.

The Captain’s orders were to cause as much damage as possible. We need to make it look like a Klingon attack, and they don’t take many prisoners.

These Romulan vessels… I wonder if they’re all combat ships? They’d have to be, right? They wouldn’t have civilian vessels out here…

Tell me that you didn’t know, Captain. Tell me that you didn’t just order a strike on a civilian station.
