and what you think about how Federation reacts when it is panicked. IMO ST PIC is showing a similar panicked reaction and if you watch the full show you will see it is optimistic and is very Trek.

The enemy is framed for it, resulting in the romulans entering the war on the Federation's side. This episode is the ultimate answer to the notion that Starfleet will always devise some scientific or diplomatic solution that will allow them to keep the moral high ground. No, Starfleet is not above assassinations and political maneuvering. There's also Section 31 whose existence predates even the Federation. Were it not for the persistence of a few idealistic officers, they would have successfully committed genocide through use of biological weapons by the end of DS9. > Interesting, isn't it? The Federation claims to abhor Section 31's tactics, but when they need the dirty work done, they look the other way. It's a tidy little arrangement, wouldn't you say?
