Steiner became especially close with the female weapons officer, Tal’ara and they began a love affair. The ship was part of the allied fleet at the “First Battle of Chin'toka”. Although the allies won the battle the Preceptor was hit a number of times. Both Star Fleet and Romulan personnel were killed and injured.
Tal’ara was wounded and medi-vaced back to Romulus. Steiner lost contact with her and requests for information were denied by the Romulan Fleet. The Perceptor’s Commander was sympathetic but in a frank discussion he advised Steiner to let Tal’ara go, as “It would not be good for her to be associated with a human…” On his departure from the ship the Commander gave him Tal’ara’s engraved Type 3 Disrupter.

The guilty Verdict was returned and the Changeling was sentenced to life without parole. She was transported to an undisclosed maximum security facility.
