And the very best part? Thrang has a choice. He can continue as he is, and find out how long Calloway designed him to live. Or he can cooperate, be rehabilitated by the best the UFP has to offer - and become a different person in the process. In effect, it's a very, very congenial death sentence, and one that fits perfectly with established Federation mores.
Angelica gets a new job, and we know from experience that if she disagrees with her boss' orders, she has no problem with circumventing them and turning said boss in. She did it to Thrang, doing it to Drake wouldn't even be an issue for her.
And Tylha gets a family, and some temporally-displaced technology to play with. Such a deal!

My forum single-issue of rage: Make the Proton Experimental Weapon go for subsystem targetting!

Bravo.
Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.
I dare you to do better.
