"Inferior organics are inferior organics. It doesn't matter if they're Human, Romulan, Vulcan, or Klingon. Imperfect beings who ought to thank them for the perfection they offered."
Kathryn hesitates for a moment, teetering on the very edge of protocol as she wars with herself over leaving it there or offering up examples from her own timeline's history. The problem with the Temporal Prime Directive, she's found, is that it's not nearly as solid as the Department of Temporal Investigations would like the whole of Starfleet to believe. There is no clear outline to be found the bullet points of protocol for a lot of the situations she's been in, this one included. The best she can do is adhere to what fits and use her best judgement in regards to the rest.
Story of her life from the moment Voyager was flung into the Delta Quadrant.
"We lost forty ships at the Battle of Wolf 359 to a single cube. Over eleven thousand lives lost. The Klingons sent warships to our aide, but failed to arrive on time to help. Perhaps if they had, a turning point in the battle could have been reached sooner. I hope that whatever alliance was on the verge of being formed succeeds. The animosity between the Federation and the Romulan Senate is ultimately insignificant in the face of the threat the Borg pose."
