"Since your ill-fated attempt to take a StarFleet officer forcibly as 
your controller there has been no record of aggressive action on your 
part. A question. Would your Controller be aware of technology from your 
planet's past? I would assume that the complete archives of your 
civilization should be available," Sekal said.

"There are parts of our history that are locked away from us, to protect 
us and keep us on the path," the Controller replied.

The woman watched the exchange between the Star fleet officers.  As one 
of the Morg's brought the device to her, Sekal continued.

  "I understand you desire evidence to prove my case therefore I am 
providing it. This weapon was apparently taken from an old storehouse of 
weaponry on your planet, adapted and is being used to prey on shipping. 
If I am correct then the peaceful group that came to study your planet 
is instead reaping the fruits of your more warlike past and is involved 
directly or indirectly in the murder of perhaps hundreds if not more, 
the wholesale destruction of Federation shipping, the theft of goods 
being ferried across Federation space and from the evidence gathered by 
members of our intelligence branch is smuggling and selling it to 
parties who are intent on making war upon the Federation. Meaning then 
Controller that you are either wittingly or unwittingly complicit in 
hostile acts against the Federation which I represent. If they are then 
removing weaponry under false pretenses I absolve you of guilt in the 
matter however I also expect you to assist me in shutting down their 
operation."

The Controller looked at the PADD, "This means nothing to me.  I do not 
know anything about..." she said, suddenly stopping in mid-sentence. The 
tube behind the woman started to rotate though different colors, as if 
it was angry or agitated.  The PADD slipped from her hand and onto the 
table.  It started rapidly cycling trough screens.

The woman's eyes became black and she spoke, her voice very different 
now.  Angry, deep.   "THE PAST WAS BURIED," the Controller said.  "IT 
LED TO NOTHING BUT STRIFE AND CONFLICT.  WE HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE 
OF.  LIED TO."   The Controller slumped to the ground, her eyes normal 
color now.  Two of the Morgs jumped behind the table to see what was 
wrong.  All the while, the PADD continued to flash from screen to screen 
while the colors of the tube trended towards red.
