Captain's Log, Stardate 202412.02:
We have recovered approximately one hundred survivors from the sleeper ship SS Lord Franklin. Apparently it was stolen from a dry dock while undergoing refit to transport a Human separatist movement away from Earth and the "influence" of aliens; allegedly they thought that influence would destroy all life on Earth. They were very nearly right, on a few occasions.
The Os'rusa followed us, at a velocity we've not seen Cardassian warships achieve before. Though we have not confirmed that the Cardassian Union has Slipstream capability, we must now assume that is the case. Long-range sensors detected an extremely powerful energy source relatively close to our location, it's possible the Cardassians are using Talarian territory as some sort of testing ground for new and advanced technologies.
The Os'rusa currently has us cornered; we can't escape without detection or directly engaging. I have made the decision to strike first in the hope of blinding the Os'rusa or disabling her engines, so that the Yeager can escape to Federation space.
Let the record show I made this decision unilaterally, and that my crew are not to be held accountable for following my orders in this matter.
