Here Lif comes to save the day...
When brute force fails, you might try science and diplomacy.
This is a crew and culture that have been militarized and kind of lost sight of the original purpose of Star Fleet - which I think you have mentioned on a few occasions. It is nowhere so clearly expressed as here.
And a clear warning for our own, currenty scientifically-challenged and diplomatically-challenged culture.
Thanks!! rbs
Author's Response: That's a great point. And this crew really does see itself as explorers, scientist and diplomats. Or at least they did before the Dominion War. Time to get back to the basics!

So, the Nebula is alive. Good. It's trying to kill them. Not good. I thought for sure Star was going to play hero here again, but instead she's letting Culsten take the role -- good. She needs to start dictating more and putting herself at risk less.
Admittedly, I'd have loved to see Owens play the role but he's the captain. Probably a good idea not to let a hostile lifeform have access to his body.
Author's Response: Yeah, Owens totally wanted to do it, seeing that he must be realizing by now that he has stood on the sidelines for far too long. And yet he ain't the right man for the job.
