** In the flashback, M'Benga gives Chapel a vial of Protocol 12, and tells her to use it to help her in the evacuation if she needs to. With her reaction to it in an earlier episode, and the fact she still uses it to take down Klingon's, with obvious experience, looks like she did have to use it to escape.
** Protocol 12 is a stimulant full of adrenaline and painkillers that let humans fight toe-to-toe against Klingon's, but M'Benda does mention it does have drastic side effects to your health. Chapel has used it at least twice, M'Benga has the record in confirmed kills in Starfleet. Just how badly have they harmed themselves in order to fight and survive against Klingons?

** While Dak'Rah's death continued the cold war between the UFP and Klingons, [[RayOfHopeEnding it also helped avoid a bad peace]]; even the Federation was alienated and willing to cover up the real events of Dak'Rah's death upon realizing he was a war criminal who [[DirtyCoward forged his entire history to hide in the Federation]]. The Klingons, if anything, would be even ''more'' pissed off if it turned out the reason [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil the traitor]] didn't even turn on the Empire out of misguided idealism, but to steal the glory of the ''actual'' Butcher of J'Gal, who was [[WorthyOpponent actually someone worthy of respect]] as [[OneManArmy someone who took down three warriors pursuing his true target]]. Discovering any peace was fostered by such a liar would result in a ''very'' unstable political situation as the Klingons wonder why they're honoring such a coward, but discovering his murder was [[BestServedCold M'Benga finishing the job]] and derailing said peace [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy is more likely to earn their thanks for taking out the cowardly rubbish]].

** Whether premeditated or not, the killing of Dak'Rah is likely what ensures another 30 years of the [[SpaceColdWar UFP-Klingon Cold War]] and all the death and damage that will ensue: [[Recap/StarTrekS1E26ErrandOfMercy Kor's invasion of Organia]], [[Recap/StarTrekS2E15TheTroubleWithTribbles Koloth and Arne Darvin's subterfuge at K-7 and Sherman's Planet]], [[Recap/StarTrekS3E7DayOfTheDove Kang and Mara's attempted takeover of the NCC-1701]], [[Recap/StarTrekS2E19APrivateLittleWar the arms race on Neural]], [[Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock Kruge's quest to obtain the Genesis technology and the murder of David Marcus]], etc. Worse, this incident may also explain who so much senior leadership of Starfleet (a leadership that's old enough to have fought in the war and was left scarred by it) will mistrust the Gorkon Initiative; to their minds, Dak'Rah concealing his past crimes proves peace with the Klingons is an oxymoron and a sick joke.

'''Bennett:''' It strikes me that Ortegas’s mistrust of the Klingons here contextualizes “A Quality of Mercy” and helps account for why her alternate-future self takes on Lt. Stiles’s “Balance of Terror” role as the anti-Romulan xenophobe. I guess she was projecting her Klingon War traumas onto the Romulans. It’s still contrived to plug her into Stiles’s role, but at least now we see it’s not out of the blue for her to act that way.
