Memorable Quotes
"Chief Security Officer's log. The Discovery is now en route to a new mission as Captain Kawolsky has returned from his vacation. I have noticed that the Orions have increased attacks in the area. The security reports I have seen show we must be on guard. I believe the Orions have obtained massive upgrades to their vessels that has caused an unbalance and now that Starfleet is spread thin in this area of space, if were not careful, something terrible could happen. I believe that in order to stop this we must some how strike the orions and bring them to a level that they will be willing to come to the peace table."
