Captains Log:



I have just informed Starfleet command of the tragedy on the planet Nilana. They have ordered the Enterprise to stay on twenty-four more hours before we continue on our mission. During that time, we are to try to reopen talks between the peaceful government on Nilana and the Federation. We are also to make our own investigation into the explosion on the planet.



I fear that twenty-four hours are not enough. We have just lost three supreme Vulcan diplomats, as well as two civilians and two crewmembers of the Enterprise to this terrorist attack, and soon the galaxy will be screaming for answers.
