The Sword of Kahless

Star Trek: Deep Space NineNo stardate given: An elderly Klingon, Kor, who is an old friend of Dax, has returned to the station. Dax introduces him to Worf, whom Kor invites along on a quest: he has obtained a cloth found on a planet in the Gamma Quadrant – a cloth which was used to wrap the legendary Sword of Kahless. The Sword is a relic of Klingon history, stolen over 1000 years ago by the Hurk. Together, Kor, Dax, and Worf go to the planet where the cloth was found, and manage to find the Sword. But they have been followed there by Toral, the last member of the House of Duras, who once tried to seize power, and whose life was spared at the time by Worf. Kor, Dax, and Worf must journey through the caverns to escape, as ambition begins to turn Kor and Worf against each other.

An Enemy Within

A local woman named Emily Noonan finds him and helps him recover, and this time it appears that Veil’s latest confidante has no connection to his ordeal. Veil learns that Emily is one of the last holdouts against an oppressive food conglomerate which intends to buy out all the local farmland, by force if necessary. His story of his fight against the conspiracy inspires Emily to stand her ground, but this may merely inspire her opponents to take more extreme measures.

Contact

Nowhere ManVeil is contacted by someone who claims to be an insider of the conspiracy that has destroyed his identity. This person claims to be on Veil’s side and offers much helpful information – the identity and location of the one person who issued to orders to erase Veil’s existence, the truth of how Veil’s wife was coerced into cooperating with the conspiracy, and more. When Veil’s contact asks him to pay for these revelations by killing the man whose location he has been given, he begins to suspect that his new ally is simply using him to settle old scores.

The new Paris kidnaps Janeway and they both cross the barrier in the shuttle, precipitating more changes in both of them.

Hidden Agenda

Nowhere ManIn Washington D.C., Tom receives a phone call from his nameless, faceless ally, proposing a face-to-face meeting to further their mutual aim of destroying the conspiracy. Over dinner, Tom’s ally asks the photographer to recount the story which led up to the much-hunted “Hidden Agenda”.

In 1993, on the insistence of his impulsive journalist friend Harrison, Tom once flew to Central America because Harrison was onto a potentially big story. Harrison’s lead is an inauspicious one – an American Army soldier gave a local prostitute his dog tags as payment for services rendered, and also told her that the U.S. Army was present in force to shut down a local rebel uprising. Venturing into the forests of the Andes, Tom and Harrison found that the Army was indeed present, and was indeed interfering in local politics, swelling its ranks by hiring off local men with cocaine. Veil and Harrison infiltrated the installation, discovering that they weren’t dealing with the Army, they weren’t dealing with any kind of normal military operation, and they were lucky to make it back to the U.S. alive with this knowledge.

And once he finishes telling the story of Hidden Agenda, Veil finds out that he’s being watched…and that the story he has just told isn’t necessarily the truth.
