I don't see much of a political fallout. Blackstar's one of a kind.ChakatBlackstar wrote:But should it come to the public's attention what happened the political fallout could be devestating. And I think that other officers would also be in trouble for their actions on this mission. Monroe, shot a fellow crewman, Rochey ordered the equivilent of death for a child, and then risked the mission on day 2 by taking the child to the officials, which would've been traced back to a Starfleet officer due to the application and blow the whole covert mission.
I think there are many aspects of the mission that can be swept under the carpet. And I still have an ace or two up my sleeve.
Munro can probably win a case about shooting his fellow crewmate. It was a just decision. Rochey didn't do anything wrong really he was trying to fix Blackstar's mistake. By saving the child the whole mission collapsed.
Meanwhile thousands of people are running around in the slave market as Blackstar and Tally blast ships out of the sky above them.
