[62] Romulan assassination probes. It's a real 
Star Trek thing. I looked it up and everything. 
It's kind of reassuring that all I have to do is 
not make up anything this improbable and I'm inside Star Trek parameters.
[97] And here I was thinking that the sensors 
were just malfunctioning. Really, that's what I 
thought. But it turns out it was Mahoun all 
along. Now I'm in suspense. Is he going to try and rescue them?
