Ensign Ro

Picard is sent to find Bajoran terrorist leader Orta, aided by newly assigned, disgraced Ensign Ro. Ro admits Admiral Kennelly secretly meant her to offer Orta weapons. Picard exposes the Solarion Four attack as likely a Cardassian setup, and persuades Ro to stay in Starfleet.

• Leads to Preemptive Strike (S07E24): Ro, brought aboard in Ensign Ro, goes undercover in the Maquis and leaves Starfleet to join them.

Captain's log, stardate 45076.3. We have arrived at Lya Station Alpha with survivors from Solarion Four. Admiral Kennelly has rendezvoused to discuss the Bajoran terrorist attack.

Captain's log, supplemental. I read about the achievements of the ancient Bajoran civilisation in my fifth grade reader. They were architects and artists, builders and philosophers when humans were not yet standing erect. Now I see how history has rewarded them.

Captain's log, stardate 45077.8. Keeve Falor has kept his promise and directed us toward the third moon of Valo One, where we will meet tomorrow with the terrorist leader, Orta.

Captain's log, supplemental. I have become convinced that we are somehow involved in a conspiracy. I am hopeful the purpose behind it will be revealed in the next few hours.
