The latter does not seem very interested

The last surviving Klingons are soon sent to join their comrades ad patres, and so it is a very surprised Kirk who sees Mr. Lapinou arrive in front of him, and asks him to surrender. in this option, until he is reminded that torpedoes are aimed at him from space. So he asks: "  How many torpedoes?  " "  72 ," replies Spock, known for being incapable of lying. Well, of course, no one finds it strange that someone suggests firing 72 torpedoes when one, or possibly even two, would suffice, but oh well. Still, this number seems to impress Lapinou, who surrenders immediately.

Again, nothing suspicious: if they had answered "  71  " what would he have said? "  That's good, I buy bulk sms service have my chances!  "?

In short: everyone is repatriated aboard the Enterprise, and like in all bad movies, Jean-Jacques Lapinou is installed in a prison with a window instead of bars, so that he can pace around behind it while throwing mysterious glances at people who pass by. McCoy just takes a blood sample, anyway, just to see if the prisoner hasn't brought back some mysterious disease with him. But no: everything is fine.

Except things aren't going exactly as planned on board. First, the engine repairs aren't finished, so it's impossible to jump to Earth right away to bring the prisoner back. Then, a message was sent to Starfleet to say "  Hoohoo, we've recovered the package. ", but there's no response. Finally, Lapinou is still very mysterious: he ends up trying to start a conversation with Captain Kirk, telling him that things are more complex than they seem, and that obviously, he already knows everything: "  By any chance, are you experiencing a mysterious engine failure? Is Starfleet ignoring you? Do you want to know why? Try opening one of your secret torpedoes, and see? Oh, and send someone to check coordinates 8-9-32 bis, it's near Earth, you'll discover something cool there." Yes, and I also know about your torpedo metaphors the day after fajita nights.
