By Michael A. Martin
To guard the shipment ships necessary to the continued lifestyles of the fledgling Coalition of Planets, the captains of the United Earth's Starfleet are ordered to interstellar wooden accountability, with little extra to do than ask "Who is going there?" into the darkness of house.
Captain Jonathan Archer of the Enterprise™ seethes with frustration, puzzling over if an individual else can see what he sees. A mystery, closed, militaristic society, confident that their survival hangs through a thread, who view their buddies as a hazard to their very life -- the Spartans of historic Greece, the Russians of the previous Soviet Union, the Koreans below Kim Il-sung -- with just one objective: reach final energy, regardless of the fee. The little-known, never-seen Romulans appear to stay by way of those related rules.
The captain realizes that the bond among the signers of the Coalition constitution is fragile and certain to snap if driven. yet he knows that the Romulans are opposed, and he believes they're the strength at the back of the shipment send assaults. If requested, Archer can provide no evidence with no endangering his friend's existence.
To whom does he owe his loyalty: his good friend, his global, the Coalition? And through picking one, does he no longer threat wasting them all? what's the method to a no-win scenario?
