It’s safe to say that young Donnelly here will be on janitorial duty for the next few months. Let’s hope he’s more adept with a mop and bucket than he is with diplomatic relations.

The damned fool got a little too merry with some particularly potent Romulan ale, and was overheard disparaging General Chang. Of all the sentient creatures in the galaxy to pick on, it had to be Chang.

I knew that you could be relied on. You’ll find the detention facility on Zelow, a planet in the Gorath system. I’d get moving, Independent. The Klingons aren’t renowned for their hospitality.

Ensign Donnelly is a young Starfleet officer with his entire career ahead of him. To allow him to die here and now would be denying him the right to an honorable death as an actively serving officer.

Very well, Independent. Consider this an act of mercy. However, I can’t let it look like I let him walk out of here without reprimand. You will pay a tithe to my house in exchange for his freedom.
