Panel 1:
Commander Vedrix: I think you realize that it's in your best interest to talk to me now.
On a Federation starship, these sorts of things are civil and regulated.
On Romulus? You know what will happen. You can't plan a coup without consequences.
But tell us the name of your contact in the Federation, and maybe you don't ever go to Romulus.
Supreme Advisor: Fascinating, Vedrix. You've tried to play both sides. But now, you're really just working for the humans, aren't you?
And have they thrown you a bone? Or are you here now because the humans are about to take me back to Earth, and you can't stop them?
Panel 2:
Vedrix: Perhaps you're right. Perhaps the humans DO want you back that badly.
But that would only be because of what you've done and who you know.
And really... now that you've failed? To them you're just an alien with compromising information.
What do you suppose the odds are that you ever reach Earth alive?
Panel 3:
Ezzok: Shouldn't we be in there, too? I thought you wanted my intimidation factor.
Colonel Hank Reynolds: Not just yet. The Advisor's a Romulan... they're tough as nails. Let Vedrix soften him up, then we'll let him stew.
But for Talbot? I think I know just what to do.
Panel 4:
Grayson Talbot: What's the meaning of this? I've been stuffed into a brig for DAYS without explanation!
And what's this Romulan doing here??
I'm a Federation citizen! I know my rights!
And I demand my attorney before I'll say a word!
Hank: Spare me, Talbot. We've read your communications. Stop playing dumb.
Vedrix: Indeed. And we know all your contacts. They've been quite illuminating.
Panel 5:
Talbot: Oh yeah? They why interrogate me? Because you DON'T know squat, and you're trying to intimidate me.
I was engaged in the proper discourse of my duties as ambassador and diplomat. Anything else you've claimed to have found is libelous slander.
Not to mention the attempted entrapment perpetrated by that Yeoman!
I want you to make sure that Miss Bridget Janson is aware that I WILL be pressing charges.
Panel 6:
Talbot; And furthermore--
Ezzok (SFX): Sniff
Talbot: Uh...
Panel 7:
Talbot: W-what are you... doing?
Ezzok: Oh, sorry. It's just... I couldn't help myself.
You just have this very... mouth watering aroma.
It's very... meaty.
But please, carry on. I'll just be back... here.
