Summary
Jim’s orders and objectives for the next thirty days are clear: set up a base camp on the closest inhabitable planet to the Neutral Zone, gather intelligence, and assess the veracity of a Romulan defector’s claim. It is his final report that will confirm or deny a cloaked Romulan incursion into Federation space, and his final report that could lead to war.
He doesn’t have a shuttle, so he’ll rely on the Enterprise for extraction at the end of thirty days, yet that potential complication doesn’t weigh on him. Should he be in need of an emergency exit plan before the thirty days are up, the communication devices provided to him cut directly through all interference, and the Admiralty set a schedule that ensures there’s a Federation ship within two hours of the planet for every second of the next thirty days. If he needs help, it may not be the Enterprise that answers his call, but his call will be answered. Of that, Jim is sure.
By all rights, it should be the easiest mission he’s undertaken in years. In reality, the Vulcan meditating by the lake is the biggest threat he’s faced.
