Mission: Episode Twenty Four: Tribunal
Location: Dominion mining outpost
Timeline: ...

Talking to myself helps. A little.
Remembering who I am and what I'm here for.

The Dominion are taking their sweet time about my trial. Their Tribunal.
The transmit it throughout the reaches of the Dominion.
Let justice be served! The criminal of Mioka is captured by the might of the Founders and is at their mercy.
But mercy is not part of their philosophy. At least not of that of this faction.
For tomorrow I die, by their command - their mercy.

Part of my mission here is achieved.
I know of the inner struggle of power, the desire to subdue the powers of Alpha and Beta quadrants and whispers of a tool named Hur'q.
The pieces are on the board now and we must warn the Federation or sabotage the followers of the released leader of the Dominion war.

My second part relies on the prowess of my crew.
I could not tell them anything of the mission and seemingly walk unawares into a Dominion trap.
But I hope that their desire to free their Captain and First Officer would bring them here in time.
That and Kara's realization of why would I ask her for field scramblers.
And the dilithium here would solve all our energy problems from here to the delta quadrant.

Every time I'm returned to the cell, I look at Na'Toth and feel guilt.
She and Therese take care of me and my wounds, but I can't avoid noticing her own.
She is being put to fighting the Jem'hadar and is weakened after each one.
It is with awe that I look at her bearing the toll and her wounds and hope that help will not be too late.

What will the morning bring?
Execution in the face of the changeling and his pet Vorta, Hovon?
Death in one-on-one battle?
Or hope from above?
