REMAIN KLINGON π

We Klingons have a saying: never leave yourself without an Enemy. Starfleet, once Khitomer was signed, really didn't have an enemy. And so Starfleet became captained by scientists, historians, philosophers and my personal favourite, "Humanitarians" -- when the Borg came it was a much needed kick in their complacency. We were delighted to see their military focus redoubled after that. The Klingon Officer Exchange program was initiated to help these our Human allies return to their militaristic and tactical roots. Thinking back on it, we might not have defeated The Dominion without Wolf 359 lighting the spark of change... π
Yes, this was a resounding problem for them that reverberated for several years after. The Federation were certain of their moral and technological superiority that they could not imagine any foe they could not take on readily. And once we became allies, Starfleet became complacent assuming that we, the mighty Klingon Empire would always be there to bail them out of any trouble they might get into. Much like how your NATO countries rely solely on the United States π
Completely agree but the thing is Starfleet was, ironically, so short on Captains after Wolf 359 that they were desperate for anyone with experience. Do with the blessing of his devoted Betazoid therapist and assurances that if he starts tweaking out that she would relieve him of command and Riker would take over -- and they went for it π
He had some vacation leave credits to use up so they let him go on vacation for a few weeks..... They probably were going to remove him from active duty at that point. BUT.... Starfleet, Starfleet, Starfleet...
I believe you're looking for the term "suicidal empathy" -- it's a perfect term too because generally speaking the kind of people who weaponized it lack empathy so it only works one way π
Now before you all get twisted like this is a horrible Orange Man new idea -- it is not -- Exile has been a valid punishment across cultures throughout history. Many exiles came to America for a fresh start and were successful / not criminals π
At this point it's probably the sustained/continued injections keeping this person alive π
Good Morning. Sometimes the truth is hilarious π
