The last enemy

Captain Kheren listened to the briefing on the forces rallied against them and, although appreciative of the broader vision of the Alsea tactical officer, felt more important to hear about one last threat definitely involved in their upcoming operation.

"Fleet Captain Sir; it might be so that that any threat from the Dominion, or any other force aside from the Romulan and Klingon empires, might be remote at this point. But there is one specific threat we still have to hear about and consider carefully. The Horizon Children Cult."

He knew the other starship commanders and their officers might be unaware of this menace; or worse, take such a menace too lightly. And so he spoke, his voice heavy and dark with the memories of the half a dozen of his crew that lost their lives to the cultists.
