307 So Died These Men as Became This City
Loras Veltr’a: I am here to run security, not to make friends!As things begin, Kath’Lar and Loras talk: her ex-husband K'ral has been trying to see her and she is not interested in seeing him. Mariella sets up an unlicensed clinic in one of the refugee camps on the southern continent. Lyranna finds herself losing her empathic abilities and goes to the hospital for tests.
There are several funeral services for the people who died in the battle at Cestus III. Loras meets Qu'oirat, the head of civillian security, at one of the services, and discovers that she lost her eyes in the battle and now has cybernetic implants. He tells her stiltedly that she fought well.
Lyranna’s test results give no information as to the cause of her problem. Q appears and gives Lyranna the option of choosing whether he should save Kal Orioli or Ashok. Unable to feel any emotions Lyranna is unable to choose between them and Q complains that she is not amusing anymore. In her distress, she writes a letter to Petersen (but does not deliver it), and uses her rank override to obtain a toxic dose of a Betazoid pharmaceutical.
Loras tracks Mariella to her clinic and tries to persuade her to return with them. They argue. She reaches for a phaser and Loras stuns her. He takes her to the hospital and informs Dr Xhosa that she is suffering from hallucinations.
Petersen receives visitors, Rudra, a dark-haired Caucasian human female, Sanjiv Dalal, a south Asian human male and Hwelere, a pale-skinned Terabian male. They describe themselves as the "Committe for Public Safety", and believe that victims of the New Lhasa Syndrome should be monitored and want him to be a candidate in the elections.
Loras reviews some files on Petersen's visitors and discovers Petersen had gone through his log entries while he was missing. He confronts Petersen who explains that he was looking for suspects for Loras’ abduction.
Mariella discharges herself from the hospital. Dr Xhosa informs Loras who is not happy that the hospital let her go and starts to look for her again. At her original quarters he meets Helen who is worried about Mariella. Helen chastises Loras on his relationships with the civillian security forces he led, and tells him to read Thuycidides' "History of the Peleponessian War" to learn how to motivate soldiers. They go to the clinic together but leave before Mariella arrives.
Loras takes Kath’lar to view the holodeck version of the book. They ignore the lesson to be learnt and join in with the battles instead, fighting on the side of the Spartans against the primitive democracy Athens.
Lyranna finds herself in a bright white room. Q appears and says that she is dead but still not amusing because she still hasn’t got her emotions. He brings Mariella (from a land transport) to the room and claims she has Lyranna’s emotions. He leaves them to sort it out.
Q dressed as a delivery boy delivers a parcel to Petersen. Inside is a box containing a PADD with Lyranna's letter. Petersen immediately asks the computer to locate Lieutenant Quayne. After locating her communicator at the hospital, the computer eventually locates her in her quarters and reports that her life-signs are fading. Petersen calls a Medical emergency and heads over to her quarters. While Nurse Ferra and the doctor from earlier try and treat Lyranna Petersen searches her quarters for some clue as to what caused her problem. He finds the lethal hypospray.
Thuycidides "History of the Peleponnesian War" is written as a history of the war between Athens and Sparta, but is actually a treatise on how to motivate your mean, using Athenian Pericles as a paragon of virtue.
Lyranna's suicide note is also online.
