The Bajor is at yellow alert and I’ve given a vacsuit to Dal Kanril. All sections are ready, so there’s nothing to do but wait. “Koranak to Bajor,” Morag’s voice comes over the comms. “Kanril here.” “Koren’s scouts just reported in. The Terrans are on high alert. They likely know we’re coming. More of their damnable Defiant-class ships, one supposes.” “Any sign of reinforcements?” “Yes, I was at the briefing, remember?” “Of course. The point is, we don’t want to cause any permanent damage to the planet; we may have a use for it later.” “Understood.” “Catch them with their pants down?” Tess remarks.
