"Just tell me what happened, I know it was self defense."<br><br> “After a short struggle we were just about to subdue them but he vaporised himself. I don’t get it. Just before he pulled the trigger – he said I made him do it.” Another deep inhale and exhale she flashed back to the moment again and shook her head side to side, “No... no... that’s not right. He said – She made us do it. Definitely that.”<br><br>"She made us do it?" Trip repeated to himself in the form of a question.<br><br>Ravok then gave Trip a slight side eyed look then looked back at Ensign Hammerfield.<br><br>" She?" Ravok asked. <br><br>"Ensign, do you think that the assailant was referring to you, as in you made him and T'Kel fight, as in your actions caused him to seek you out and then eventually pull the trigger on himself?
