"Mr Potter is being very pessimistic and realistic in his assumptions, but he is correct; The High Council will not be able to deny the Federation and Terrans requests to speak to them. And their concerns are very justifiable. Augments and psi-talents have been treated very badly in the Terra’s recent past; in fact the laws against them are still active. If they are ever detained, it will be very hard to secure their legal release. Given Mr Potter’s short temper, there will be a lot of damage and perhaps even a few deaths," Sarek surmised.
