Chapter 12 - The Tzenkethi (Patreon)

“Believe me, T’Maz, I get it. That’s not Section 31’s purpose and God knows how this war would have gone without its efforts in the shadows,” he offered earnestly. “While only a handful of people in the Federation know what contributions Section 31 have made to keeping it going, I, in particular, recognize how valuable it is. It’s the main reason I agreed to be recruited as a freelance operative. Look at what enemies the Federation is struggling with right now, or in the past, like the Talarians, or the Kzinti, or the Tzenkethi, or several other minor powers. Look what Archer accomplished with far, far less to work/fight with. And I’m basing that on just what is publicly known and available, not whatever happened on his mission that merits classification still, even after more than two freaking centuries has passed.”
