Captain's log - Stardate 2261.915

I briefly met with the local authorities. They weren't stupid enough to think they had any influence on an Imperial starship, so they accepted our documentation showing Anton and Lenore Karidian had been executed for murder without hesitation.

We were about to leave orbit when Bones came to the Bridge and laid a hand on my shoulder, whispering.

"When you order us to warp speed, it will be that bastard and his spawn providing the power."

It didn't top the first time I gave the order, but it was a close second.
