The request of the Denobulan Science Council left me indebted to the captain. A debt that should have been repaid by saving the life of the Antaran, as ordered. But the enmity our people have had for each other for the past three centuries complicated the situation.
It pained me to have to refuse the captain's order, but my own ethics didn't allow me to go against the Antaran's wishes. However, his bitter words sparked memories of my grandmother, and the tales I refused to tell my own children.
I'm pleased to see that some trust was gained this day.
