Comment on Preview ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Series Finale With 6 New Images From “Rubincon”
ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 2 days agoMy money’s on the red wall of omega-47 being a grossly gigantic con where the isolation of the Federation is not quite the threat it seemed at the end of episode 9.
It would be very funny if Braka only had two omega molecules, and detonated them both last week as a show of force.

Looking again at the production photo of Tatiana Maslany as Anisha Mir, there may be an entirely different long con going on from the Federation side.
Could be a coincidental styling choice but, Anisha seems to be dressed in something close to a Section 31 uniform!
So, speculation…
We know from Discovery that Starfleet and the 32nd century Federation have some kind of shadowy espionage and covert operations organization.
Could it be possible that Anisha, who was known to Nahla Ake, was more than a desperate mother looking to trade her skills to the Venari Ral for sustenance for herself and her child?
Was there some kind of deep covert mission that went profoundly wrong? If so, was Ake read in?
If Anisha is somehow a Federation operative, how will Caleb deal with his being put at risk, then sacrificed for an operation?
Anisha may be less morally culpable for her actions as an infiltrator of the Venari Ral, but as a mother putting her child in the line of harm, there is a completely different calculus.
