Fic: Observations, Ch 76
“Yes, I am. I’m a captain of a Starfleet vessel and my first obligation is to the Federation, not Spock, not my family, not my own personal feelings. This is my decision, and I’ll accept all the responsibilty for the consequences. But I’m not going to let more civilizations get ground down to an empty husk of insanity. Even if it means killing Spock, my brother, Aurelan, and those billions of Denevans down there.”
