Microscopic, depressing little nugget I've never posted.
La'ra is a character who is close to my heart, if for no other reason than the voice in my head that represents him laments that he cannot save everyone.

Why We Fight
The blood was old, dry, and covered most of the yacht's deck.
"How many were aboard?" La'ra asked.
"Six." Ran'jar’s mouth twitched. "All but the children are... accounted for."
"How long ago?"
"A month." Ran'jar's informed. There'd be no finding the raiders… or their prizes.
Hiv’laposh had found the pleasure boat adrift. If they'd sent a distress call, no one had heard it.
La’ra’s gaze fell upon one of the woman. He wondered whether she’d been pretty.
"How long were they here?"
“Three days."
La'ra closed his eyes and cursed.

Was looking to a 9/11 docu the other day, gives the same feeling as La'ra probably getting.

I never expected you would write anything with an unhappy ending, my friend...no matter how short.
This is progress.

You've read a couple with sucky endings before.:)

Yes, I think I had the end point of this little piece in mind when I did that Chronicle I've not posted yet but let you see, Larry. This kind of garbage exists, you want, almost need to go after them, but you can't for one reason or another.
And even if you do catch them, what then? As non-Starfleet you have "options", but the upright, uptight guardians of the Federation cannot do what they'd want to, or they'll become a disgrace to their uniform...
PS. "Sucky" is different from "unhappy" *grin*

Maybe with what YOU concider sucky, perhaps... Usually your heroes win the day in at least some small measure.
And as to Andy's response...Ford would figure out a way to see justice done...Vic Macky style. (A reference from 'The Shield', for those who don't watch FX or Spike TV) IE: when Vic makes sure a killer/rapist he has no evidence on gets accidently 'deported' to Mexico, even though he's an American citizen... They love rapists down there in THOSE jails...

Heh. Remember, though, your favorite style of movie is the type where a 'happy ending' is that 'one person lived'. ;D

IF that...
