"Another Piece of the Action, Part 3" is a comic, the tenth issue of the Star Trek: Defiant series from IDW Publishing, released on 20 December 2023.
Description[]
- The Defiant crew makes way for its next bounty: Berlinghoff Rasmussen, infamous time-traveling thief and con man. Berlinghoff has escaped custody on Starbase 214 and has his sights set on tech from the forbidden planet and final resting place of Captain Christopher Pike, Talos IV. With top-secret orders from Starfleet, Worf and his crew are to intercept the target without being detected by anyone... including the Federation.
Summary[]
Log entries[]
- Captain's log.
- Following my refusal to allow the Keeper passage off-world, crew morale is... low. And our unofficial duties... are not complete. We must apprehend another fugitive — the most dangerous one yet — and still I wonder if there will ever be an end to Starfleet's use of us in this kind of ugly capacity.
- I confess that my own morale is... poor. But I do find some consolation in all of this. I wholeheartedly believe that I still know what is morally correct.
