"Admiral, I have already explained to Captain Freeman here that I wish to request political asylum in the Federation."

"I cannot blame you, Captain. I myself did not expect you to help, but you did, and for that, I am eternally grateful. I assume you remember me, although the last time I was aboard your ship I was a lieutenant, and I was willing to give my life to the Coalition. I did not know their true agenda. But when I was promoted to Sub-Commander, I was briefed on the Coalition's true intention. I believed we were out here to get away from the Empire and to build an empire of our own. But when I learned the truth, I began to believe that I didn't belong there. I learned that the Coalition's true purpose is to build a military so powerful that we can attack the Empire itself! I may dislike the Empire, but I dislike the idea of a Romulan civil war much more! So I planned my escape. But I never got the chance to execute it until now. But I knew that the Federation would accept almost any enemy of the Coalition, especially after what we did to you. So Captain, I would like to formally request asylum in the Federation, and possibly even aquire a Starfleet commission, so that I may prevent the Coalition from conquering the Empire.

Just then, a Romulan Warbird drops out of warp and opens fire...
...on the scout.

=/\= This is the R.C.S. Rilhan to Federation outpost! I request immediate assistance! I repeat, this is Sub-Commander R'Mor, I require immedia--- =/\=

The commlink broke as the warbird destroyed the Rilhan's comm array.

A mysterious Romulan scoutship drops out of warp near DS12.
