"Hidden Motives"

Things came to a head with Khassid when the woman suddenly became feral, attempting to kill both the new Assistant Chief Operations Officer and a Flag Officer who had been serving aboard the ship. It was discovered that her brain was being chemically altered; forced into a state of xenophobia by the Obsidian Order who had began to return. Realising that they were targeting Captain Khassid’s subspecies of Cardassian – and knowing that numerous served upon the Detapa Council – it was then a race against time to make it to Cardassia and save the council. Multiple politicians were found to be under the Obsidian Order’s control, effectively being used to de-stablilse the Council so they could resume control once more. The councilmember in charge of this was apprehended by the ship’s Intelligence officers… But during the fight three officers were also impacted by the chemicals used, turning them feral as well. Thankfully they were apprehended and all were cleared following a court martial, seeing as how they had not been in control of themselves.
