Veltr'a organises some tactical simulations to help train the Klingon, Starfleet, and Planetary forces to work together. In a simulated battle against overwhelming Jem Had'ar forces, Kath'lar is quickly discovered and killed, closely followed by all the other major characters involved (Veltr'a, the recovered Petersen, Reinhardt) except for M'Kress, who joins forces with Mortimore's forces to last another half an hour.
Petersen interviews Felan, the Psi-capable woman who injured him within a centimetre of his life.
Petersen: You make me sick.
Felan: No. I make you injured.
After the terrorist attacks, O'Reilley has legislation passed that makes it easier to force treatment of the New Lhasa Syndrome on the mentally ill. Petersen arranges to watch the treatment of Felan: his fellow officers disapprove. While Ashok visits Stadi, he makes contact with the local community of Terabians, an alien race who deeply disapprove of telepathy.
Ashok pays an unarranged visit to Stadi, who is pleased to have her work interrupted. In the following conversation, she reveals that after part of her telepathy returned thanks to her deliberate infection with the New Lhasa syndrome she was unable to block out crowds. She also confesses when pressed to having pulled strings to get him back to New Lhasa quicker. They go to a holodeck for a meal and a dance. He lies that the takeover of his restaurant by Muigheal also took away his home, and Stadi (clouded by champagne) doesn't notice, and offers her couch. Their relationship progresses from there. (Fade to black).
After being played for one-and-a-half years into two different campaigns, someone finds out that Stadi's first name is Lyranna. After playing the game, I realised that it was dominated by the two extremes of RPGs - first a wargame, and then an emotion-driven drama.
