| abstract | - Edward Shield is restless. He feels that this day is important for some reason, though at the moment, he doesn't know why or what its importance should be. All he knows is that it is important, and therefore he remains on the alert for anything worth noting. Upon taking the command chair, he receives a call from the USS Admonitor on the viewscreen. It is K'hallA, who asks for Shield to beam onto the Admonitor immediately so that they may talk in private. Upon arriving, he finds Lianna Young with her in the captain's ready room and asks the nature of this meeting. Having examined the events of the past forty-six years, both Captain Young and K'hallA are adamant that the Romulan Star Empire is hatching some secret plot to make war with the Klingon Empire. From what they have gathered, they believe that an attack on Khitomer, a Klingon colony planet in what had once been a Federation-Imperial neutral zone in the late 2290s, is imminent. Shield says that this would be a bold move, even for the Romulans, especially since Khitomer is heavily equipped with planetary defenses and shielding that would halt any orbital bombardment or transport onto the planet. At this point, Young says that she believes someone on the inside will attempt to sabotage the Klingon defenses to allow the Romulans to attack. Shield states, remembering from his search of the Nox clan, that Nox might know something about this, since his father had been collaborating with the Klingons. But Nox is on the run. They corner him at the hangar bay, where he says that his first and foremost loyalty is to his own people, and his time has come. During which he, while under fire, takes a shuttle-pod and leaves the USS Admonitor.
