A Hidden Witness: Kahlest's Record Revealed
On the Enterprise bridge Beverly Crusher interrupts routine operations with a quiet, explosive discovery: Khitomer did not leave only one survivor. Medical files show a severely injured Klingon woman — Kahlest — was treated at Starbase 24 and later returned home, separated from Worf as a child. Riker immediately orders a digital dragnet; Data and Geordi begin tracing Klingon and Starfleet logs. The beat converts hope into action: a possible living witness who could exonerate Mogh is identified, but naming her also turns Kahlest into an immediate, high‑risk target and escalates the conspiracy into open investigation.
