Summary: When the Enterprise is sent to negotiate a planet's urgent entrance into the Federation, it seems like just another mission. But things are never quite that simple, and there are things that the Federation doesn't know.
Notes: Hooray, trekreversebang! I was lucky enough to get art by the incredibly talented pentapus. I'd like to thank her for the opportunity to write for her wonderful art! Thanks also go to withthepilot, who provided a loving and caring beta, and everyone who put up with my complaining about deadlines/occasional complete disappearances from the internet. Title is from the Arcade Fire song of the same name.

( There's nothing wrong but a sudden rush of adrenalin, no doubt caused by the eerie echoes of the council's words. A minor shift in body chemistry shouldn't be read into too deeply. )
