What Dinah didn't know was that the letter was covered with a chemical, when the chemical made contact with her skin, she would absorb it into her bloodstream, soon she would be unconscious and stay that way for at least 24 hours, also the chemical was a hypnotic agent and it would make her susceptible to subconsciously follow my commands, I was worried about overcoming Dinah because she was the strongest physically, and also was well trained in self-defense, I knew that I could beat her in a fight because of my Seal team training, but I would probably end up seriously hurting her, or killing her and that's not what I want.

I waited for Hannah to return to the bridge, when she finally made it back I said "Ensign I believe that you have 12 strokes from the cane coming come over here and stand in front of me, bend over and grab your ankles, it is your responsibility to count the strokes, if you forget to count, or screw the count up, we will start over again, now Ensign move."
