The Lieutenant Commander wakes up with a raging headache, bloodshot eyes, and a major case of mad. Maybe that's why he rounds on the unsuspecting Head of Colonists so fiercely. Or maybe it's just because he'd rather not see his ship getting blown up.
Civplayah, I'd tape your mouth shut if it would make people forget what you've just said. You do not accuse someone of having the means to destroy this ship in public, do you hear me? I don't even care if it's true! But it's worse if it is -- do you realize you just gave anyone who may have a motive to do so the knowledge of whom to bribe, torture, brainwash or kill in order to gain this secret? You'd better have ironclad proof that BananaLee is a traitor before you call him out on this basis, because short of that, I am forced to conclude that the fact that we are all still breathing and not itty-bitty particles of vaporized MEAT is indicative that either my Head of Engineering is NOT a traitor, or that he can't in fact do what you claim he can!
The Lt. Commander takes a deep breath while the veins in his forehead subside just a bit.
In any case. This ... PaulusIII creature came to me last night while I was recovering and claimed the Cardassion agent oyzar had brainwashed him or some such the previous night, and that with no way to fulfill his new orders, he wished only to end it all. Bully for him; I say we should comply. He also claimed that oyzar had succeeded for the first time only with him -- that I myself turned out to be nonconvertible the first night (I must say this surprises me not at all, though I have no memory of the event), and the second night, I had the pleasure of stunning the scum -- and that he would therefore be the last.
I'm less sure about this claim being true, but there seems one sure way to test it. Perhaps CCRunner would prepare the airlock, since we're short a cleaner.
