"Another Piece of the Action, Part 2" is a comic, the ninth issue of the Star Trek: Defiant series from IDW Publishing, released on 8 November 2023.
Description[]
- Disavowed from Starfleet despite their heroic actions, Worf and his crew set out in their new roles as bounty hunters on their first mission since the bloody battle against the tyrant Kahless. Their first target: an individualized ex-member of the Borg Collective known as Hugh.
Summary[]
Log entries[]
- Captain's log.
- The crew of the Defiant has been disavowed by Starfleet. Given the cover of mercenary bounty hunters. Forced to do the Federation's dirty work. And it leaves me feeling... lost. After facing Kahless, I am left with my honor hanging in the balance. Without any profession. Without any faith. Without my son. Alexander survived the Day of Blood, but he how carries within him so much shame that he cannot bear to see me. I know he knows how much I love him.
- Space never provides much comfort. I am reminded of the single, brutal, and vast ocean of my homeworld — Tar Blq — as well as the treacherous seas of Earth's early history that I studied at the Academy. Both are most foreboding when no land is in sight. And despite all of the Defiant's sophisticated instrumentation, I find myself in dire need of one thing... a compass.
