a martyr, furthering his cause and therefore weakening the alliance from within. O'Brien informs Chadwick of the assassination plot. Rather than arrest the men involved, he opts to alert the Klingons and let them capture and execute Bilby and his men. By this point O'Brien has gotten close to Bilby, and hates the idea of being responsible for the death of a man who trusted him. He decides to tell Bilby the truth. Broken by the news, Bilby has little option but to head straight into the trap, as there is no running from the Syndicate. He hopes that, if he dies before it becomes obvious that O'Brien is working for Starfleet, Raimus will spare his family. Before leaving, he asks O'Brien to take care of his pet cat Chester.
