Lieutenant Uhura, has Starfleet honored our request with a reply?
There has been no response as yet, sir.
Did you advise them the Captain's life is at stake?
Yes, sir. They insist the matter must be referred to the Federation.
What department?
The Bureau of Planetary Treaties.
Contact them directly.
I did, Mr. Spock. They insist that we must go through Starfleet channels.
