00:00You
00:30Point eight
00:33We're three days into our first official space flight circling the val nebula by its very existence
00:43The incalculable number of atoms that had to converge in this was once a star it could not have evolved into this present
00:52Without every moment of its past
00:54It makes me thinking all your life experiences the decisions you've made that have led you to be right here right now
01:04How will we all
01:06As our journey continues
01:10With the first link first speech
01:13censured
01:15the first thought
01:17Forbidden us all that come on you little zygotes who reads
01:24Cadet live judge Aaron Sarty one of the finest my academies debate
01:30Competition speech and debate is not for the chicken shit
01:35It can't Holloway know that I have existed longer than your entire lineage
01:39I have earned the right to speak as I see fit one day you to that day
01:45It's not today
01:47Now as I was saying before being pointless
01:49Interrupted despite
01:51I think on a history, but you got some game, right?
01:54Klingons do not do game we do complex and violent mating and
02:01Poetry that was a lot more information than I was expecting you may be interested to know that debate is one of the oldest arts
02:06Not just on earth
02:08Did I free me I tend to pop in now and then on the USS Voyager long before you were even to be myself
02:18Through argument I debated myself into existence
02:22The power of speech and debate I were to stand up and take our positions at these two podiums
02:29I could prove you don't warm-up drill everyone up
02:34Come on one straight line down the middle now
02:38Let's see who among you has or who among you will humiliate themselves in full view of their peers
02:44Resolved sentient existence should return to a pre-warful era amateurs motivate arguments with feelings not facts
02:52Any research on the signal to call the system in its pre-space flight culture proves that that's resolved
02:57The war college should move its campus to Earth's moon if one regards the war college as a possible defensive
03:03The war colleges indeed are immeasurable therefore it falls under regulation 17 subsection 343 paragraph 234
03:10Which requires all lunar campuses to make near advance
03:13Near advance
03:17Near advance
03:19Near
03:20Against all reason and expectation
03:32Cadet crowd your prompt please
03:36Cadet are you all right?
03:40Do you need to sit down?
03:42Cadet crowd?
03:52How bad was it?
03:54Uh on a scale of what to what?
03:56I have difficulties expressing my point
04:00Open your mouth people are intimidated by you
04:02What if a hologard catches us?
04:04Last time I checked it's not a crime to reprogram a dot to bring us lunch
04:07Did you be making them up?
04:09In prison you have to learn stuff to survive
04:12Arguing is just another form of combat for me
04:13Klingons
04:14Klingons love combat
04:15Then standing up for what I believe makes sweat flood down my face
04:20What are you doing?
04:21I don't know
04:23What are you doing?
04:25No pepperoni
04:27The pepperoni is the whole point
04:29I will not eat anything that did not die
04:31Are you hoarding food under your bed again?
04:37I'm not taking questions at this time unfortunately
04:39It's the recipe
04:41But shall we click
04:44That's real Klingon food right?
04:47And trail stew
04:47Serve their house and battle can taste it
04:50My father and mother taught me better than that
04:54You grew up with three parents
04:56I once shared a garbage freighter with the Klingon
04:59Still always
05:00She told me the story
05:01How Kalish united the hell
05:04How they ate entrails stew to taste their victory
05:07And how Kalish's warriors laid their weapons at his feet to honor
05:11My myth
05:13It gave us comfort in the refugee camps
05:16Konos would have been cool
05:25Chancellor Ake requires my presence
05:28News breaks publicly
05:30A Klingon ship carrying about eight houses to a refugee camp on Taurus
05:36It's unconfirmed but we've reason to believe your family was on board
05:41It's a very complicated
05:53There was a time before the burn when the federation and the Klingons were allies
05:58Today they
06:00If it means their extinction
06:03A horrific tragedy unfolding in real time as the Klingon refugee crisis
06:07Worked with members of the eight remaining Klingon houses on board
06:11Suffered a catastrophic mechanical failure
06:14And crashed on its way to a refugee
06:16Other worlds to explode
06:17Billions perished
06:19Now one of the most powerful races sits on the brink of extinction
06:24Jaden
06:27We'll do everything we can to get you answers
06:30That might not be easy
06:31You're the only Klingon cadet Starfleet has
06:35So if you'd like to take some time off
06:37No
06:39Chancellor
06:40I dismissed
06:41I would not like to be late to class
06:43If you want to speak with a counselor the doctor is more than
06:46I said goodbye
06:50With your permission
06:52Of course
07:01On our backs at the module
07:03We need a cautious
07:05Now I go to see
07:06Whatever
07:06We like to be
07:08Just a minute
07:09You have to try
07:10To lose
07:12First
07:12You can try
07:13I lie
07:15Just say
07:16You already
07:17So
07:18This
07:19Was
07:20you
07:21What
07:22You
07:22When
07:23You
07:24I
07:27My
10:31The rest of the Klingon Empire became uninhabitable.
10:35Now, one of the most powerful races sits on the...
10:39Pause.
10:40I'm so sorry.
10:42I'd like to hear ideas for our central topic.
10:51...is this week.
10:57Competitors will argue for and against a resolution.
11:02After affirmative and negative statements, there will be a battle of words.
11:06Now, I'd like to hear ideas for our central topic.
11:11It has said the geopolitical impact of the Emerald Chain.
11:16Yes, cadet.
11:18Doctor, it seems irresponsible because they blew it up themselves.
11:21No one needs your embarrassing conspiracy theories.
11:24That Klingon incursion into Hectaren, that enslavement, total fiction.
11:27That's enough, cadet.
11:28Thank you to defend me.
11:29Cadets, the Klingon diaspora is not an appropriate topic for this debate.
11:35Why not?
11:35It is the one thing everyone is already speaking about.
11:43Either going to happen in here or out there.
11:47I would rather it happen in here.
11:49I cannot allow the reality of the currency...
11:52Reality does not make it disappear, Doctor.
11:56Very well.
12:02Any dissenters?
12:10We are resolved.
12:12Review the facts of the Klingon diaspora.
12:17Your preparation had better be faultless.
12:21There's been a tragedy.
12:22I have no news on Jaden Krog's family yet.
12:27I wish I did.
12:28I know that look.
12:29Whatever this is, I'm going to hate it.
12:31I think they identified an uninhabited planet within Federation space.
12:35Fon Alpha.
12:36Its geothermal energy matches that of Kronos.
12:40Yes.
12:40They made it clear that they would rather die than take Starfleet charity.
12:45There's one.
12:47Their oldest young diplomat.
12:49He's known to be open to outsiders as long as it benefits his people.
12:54I thought maybe you'd...
12:56It happened decades before you were born, Charlie.
12:59How do you even know about it?
13:01Your personal files.
13:03I've been reading them.
13:04It's insane.
13:05The plot twists.
13:08Do it for your cadet now.
13:09At the very least, although it can help.
13:12Who can see the benefit of Fon Alpha?
13:14It's him.
13:19Yeah.
13:20Or he would risk dishonor from his own.
13:23And never come.
13:24Dage battling against his friends.
13:31Hey.
13:32We were just strategizing.
13:34I'll be arguing the affirmative.
13:38I'm sure the doctor would approve it.
13:40Given everything.
13:43Who else has worked?
13:44Special circumstances.
13:47Just an offer.
13:48You do not think I can do this myself?
13:51What?
13:52With you.
13:53Or anyone else.
13:54Jaden.
13:55Mir isn't ass.
13:57He's the best debater we got.
13:59Master.
13:59Master.
14:00Who I debate against.
14:01And I'm on the negative.
14:04Any plan for Klingon survival should be left to the Klingons.
14:08No protection.
14:10Not from loss.
14:12There never can be.
14:13When the mother taught us about the Nightbird.
14:30That was before the way.
14:36What happened?
14:37He tried to trade for Starfleet technology.
14:40Your blood is black.
14:41The dagger was poisoned, mother.
14:44You should see the traitor.
14:48The dermal regenerator is still at the market.
14:51It can save him.
14:52The tools of the Federation are not for us.
14:59Listen to me, brother.
15:03No matter what.
15:04Of everything.
15:07Warrior.
15:08Healer.
15:12Yourself.
15:14Trust.
15:19Stars.
15:29Stars.
15:30Star.
15:31Star.
15:32Star.
15:33Star.
15:34Star.
15:34Star.
15:35Star.
15:36Star.
15:37One might think you're trying to get on my good side.
15:54Oh, I'm pretty sure I never left.
15:58You managed to get here under the...
16:07Even for a lanthanite.
16:10Says the Klingon who's seen a century.
16:15Catch up early.
16:17Can only complicate.
16:23That's phono temperature.
16:26Topography.
16:27Volcanic emission.
16:28Nala.
16:29Only one species I know could build a home.
16:32The houses would never accept.
16:35You know who we are.
16:37Who I am.
16:38Yes.
16:39I'm trying to save.
16:40And there it is.
16:43Hmm.
16:44I came here knowing this wouldn't work.
16:46But there were a few ways for us to...
16:48I haven't changed.
16:50But I have.
16:51The warrior I knew would have done anything to ensure the future.
16:56Now, we have nothing left but our traditions.
17:00Is there...
17:02We haven't been drinking long enough.
17:07No gangs.
17:10I know...
17:11I've taken refuge in Fon Alpha's sector in Federation space.
17:17Let us grant them, all of you, asylum on Fon...
17:20Accepting the charity of the Federation is an impossibility.
17:24Our houses will only unite over conquest.
17:27And it'll only orphan my cadet.
17:34A Klingon?
17:35Well, if this family is still alive, you're their only chance to stay that way.
17:41I'll refute.
17:46My opponent has argued that the Klingon...
17:51That the...
17:52I know.
17:54Sexual work.
17:56But it ends up being kind of liberating.
17:58I did not ask.
18:00A day ago, you were pouring the sweat.
18:02In public.
18:03Is this because I offered to partner up?
18:04You were not offering partnership.
18:06You were offering to speak for me.
18:08We both grew up with nothing.
18:09Came here with nothing.
18:11Neither of us has anywhere else to go.
18:13But our sacrifices are not the same.
18:16Going on, don't we?
18:16We do not.
18:18We are not brothers.
18:20You're trying to teach me a lesson?
18:27This is not about you.
18:29But if you happen to learn that lesson in defeat...
18:32But I don't have any people.
18:34Okay?
18:34So you need to...
18:35Correct.
18:36You do not have people.
18:39You are the Federation.
18:41But you have no understanding of what any of that means.
18:50Judge, Judge, Judge, Judge.
19:03That was game.
19:06Then, I woke up, and you weren't there anymore.
19:12It's for you.
19:13You made it clear you'd never leave your ship.
19:20Tell your cadet I'll look into his house.
19:24See if they survived.
19:28And you're still surprised when you don't get what you want.
19:37You always insisted in making everything a fight.
19:41I didn't cling on.
19:43The fight is what...
19:44Buy your own path.
20:05You will complete the hunt and make your...
20:08And come back a true warrior.
20:10Like him.
20:11Have you considered my request, father?
20:16I could have used to heal him.
20:18Federation technology would not have saved your brother.
20:24There's no place in our house.
20:26You are Klingon.
20:28This trinket...
20:31It's future into you.
20:33A bird of prey.
20:42Strike now.
20:43Prove you are a warrior.
20:45Strike.
20:46Strike.
20:46Strike.
20:46I am.
20:53I am.
20:55Bring him.
20:56These weapons are not from you.
21:20No, no, no, no.
21:26Go away.
21:40Look, I'm just here to ask a favor.
21:42Whatever you've said to Caleb has got him stomping around our...
21:44Hit me.
21:46What?
21:47Come on, you...
21:48No, you aren't saying...
21:49You can pretend you're punching Caleb in the face.
21:51I do not want...
21:52It's a core tenant of his personality.
21:55Jaden.
21:56What are you so scared of?
21:58Huh?
21:59Just show me what you've got.
22:00I am not hitting you.
22:01It would be like squashing an insect.
22:05You know what they teach young fighters on Kionia when fear takes hold?
22:14Hmm?
22:16Anything?
22:18Put on your feet.
22:19Not decreasing.
22:22You don't want to see how many people feel.
22:29I do not think I would drink...
22:31If you are being reached...
22:31...I will be able to wear anything that I like.
22:33I will be able to wear something...
22:34...and see if you are wearing those things.
22:36Give me advice to you.
22:37I not think otherwise...
22:38...or the nose of my eye is passing.
22:39I never do not wear so...
22:40I do not wear as a mask...
22:41...I need some clothes...
22:41...29-17s.
22:43Voice. It's yours. Use it.
23:13My opponent has argued that the Klingon, that the Klingon Empire.
23:22Come on. Come on.
23:43Take your seats, little zygotes. It's time to welcome your judge for today's debate. The Doctor.
23:52Welcome all to Starfleet Academy's first Aaron Satie debate competition in...
23:59Competitors will challenge each other. Please be aware that facts and evidence presented in affirmative and rebuttal speeches must be accurate.
24:16Disinformation and... Are you hungover?
24:20Nope.
24:21I'd also like to remind our...
24:24Now, without further ado, may the most impressive performance become part...
24:32Cadet Lied for the affirmative. Cadet Rainey for the negative.
24:37The Federation has a moral obligation to the galaxy to rebuild itself with limited post-burn resources, unless you're suggesting severe galactic rationale.
24:46An existential crisis.
24:49What the God!
24:52I affirm that the Federation should moderate armistice negotiations...
24:56...and peace treaty between the Klingons and the Federation. It didn't last.
25:00...inaccurate. It was superseded by the Ketomer Accords.
25:04Sam.
25:09Cadets Mir and Krog.
25:13Cadet Mir for the affirmative.
25:18Cadet Krog for the negative.
25:27...and the resolution that the Federation must provide and indeed enforce asylum for the Klingons.
25:32My criterion is Federation law.
25:34According to...
25:36Section 2386...
25:39Paragraph 2,434...
25:43Paragraph 2...
25:44...I'd aid to any sentient being in need of assistance, unless it violates the Prime Directive...
25:48...which, which in this case, it does not.
25:50It does not.
26:07Book 2398, subsection 89.
26:12If engaged in diplomat, Starfleet officers need not contradict alien morality.
26:20There's legal precedent that amends Code 2398, species from extinction via relocation.
26:25Non-consensual relocation, as 2398 does not qualify.
26:30It does in 89, Koth versus Pharah.
26:33Stardate 2-9, total danger is a matter of subjective perception.
26:42How many Klingons are left in the quadrants, Jaden?
26:45Enough to know that each Klingon...
26:47Warning. Cadet Krog, you're a Bethel.
26:51My criterion is the Klingons of this debate.
26:56The Federation and their laws are irrelevant.
26:59To argue otherwise is to deny Klingons their right to def...
27:03Without self-definition, our Klingons, Klingons.
27:07And does the Federation require other great peoples to cease to...
27:11It is not the Federation's advantage or place to tell the Klingons who they are.
27:18Cadet Krog, second warning.
27:21Your argument implies that all Klingons must feel the same.
27:24Demands Klingons exist as ourselves.
27:27I know a Klingon who's rejected the isolationism you say defines all Klingons,
27:32and now enjoys Federation-provided food.
27:34Turn to your podiums immediately.
27:36Use to belong to anything.
27:38Yet you would define it for those who are willing to die for it.
27:41Isn't that why you left your family?
27:43Because they were...
27:44Enough!
27:48You are done.
28:11Cadet Master, I apologize for my...
28:15He's Cadet.
28:28I come from a Jem'Hadar Klingon family.
28:31Of my mother's.
28:32My Klingon grandparents...
28:35Renounced their house.
28:38My fair share of brotherly fights.
28:41They usually end in broken bones.
28:43This one was quite tame if you ask me.
28:45Caleb is not...
28:47I've never had the privilege of being a mentor to a fellow Klingon.
28:53I don't know what Commander Reno says, but I regret not trusting my own instincts and speaking to you.
29:01Not as your Starfleet instructor.
29:03See the Klingon you are, as all elders should.
29:06But...
29:08I do not know what Klingon.
29:10I honored both worlds.
29:13The last day with my house.
29:15My father and I went hunting together.
29:19You become a warrior.
29:21After your first kill.
29:23I...
29:24I...
29:25I could not do it.
29:26I missed the kill shot.
29:32And abandoned the hunt.
29:34He left.
29:36My father.
29:41Come back!
29:42There are only a few things I know to be true.
29:51One of them is...
29:52I do not understand.
29:54A hunt...
29:55Is a battle.
29:57Rage...
29:58Makes our kills.
30:00We find an opponent...
30:02Who humbles us.
30:05I believe your father honored the hunt for victory.
30:08And setting you free.
30:12So that you could fly.
30:15Are the mist he shot.
30:17To let you go.
30:27A Klingon warrior.
30:30Who's passion for...
30:31Only by his passion for life.
30:36Now...
30:38You must see yourself.
30:39A warrior.
30:40Not with weapons.
30:42But words.
30:47If there is no hope.
30:49For any of us.
30:51There is a planet.
30:53A new Kolosh.
30:55If I have to tell you how that offer...
30:58Landed.
31:03It's strange.
31:08I am...
31:09A Klingon.
31:10Learned that...
31:11Here.
31:12That is not...
31:13A simple thing...
31:14To say.
31:15Point.
31:16As to why the Federation should compel the Klingons to accept asylum.
31:21It is the Federation after...
31:22Being the Federation.
31:24If it insists...
31:25Klingons...
31:26Stop.
31:27Being.
31:28Klingons.
31:29These are not...
31:30Mutually.
31:31Exist.
31:32As both.
31:33On my own terms.
31:34Now it is time...
31:36We meet Klingons...
31:37On my own terms.
31:38On my own terms.
31:39Now it is time...
31:40We meet Klingons...
31:41On my own terms.
31:42On your art.
31:43On my own terms.
31:44Not mutually.
31:45Exists.
31:46As both.
31:47On my own terms.
31:48My own terms.
31:49Now it is time...
31:50To meet Klingons...
31:51On their...
31:52Who was born...
31:53In myth.
31:54In myth.
31:56My father...
31:57Made us memorize...
31:58The svan...
31:59Wonderful...
32:00To the spwoners...
32:01złoth lierfst...
32:03Warriors everywhere laid their weapons.
32:08He understood the full expanse of the myth of Caliph.
32:16Is dead.
32:19I did not.
32:24I could not.
32:33Until now, battle exists in as many forms as there are for people.
32:41Battle is the language we use to honor each other.
32:45It is the way Federation would do better to humble themselves and learn to hear our language as it is a Klingon solution to a Klingon problem.
33:03The Federation thinks it's worth the risk.
33:18No matter how this ends,

33:51White ships have taken refuge in this sector.

36:14They are safe, thanks to you.
36:23So how's the famous warrior stew?
36:30How did you stop being a dick for a day?
36:52It was a gift from my brother.
36:57I am sorry.
36:58You two are alike, Hart.
37:06I believed I had to let him go.
37:10I've never been good at less food.
37:14My mom promised me we'd try together someday.
37:20She's with me.
37:23All the time.
37:25The memories of her just come out somehow.
37:29So I start shit.
37:33And I can be an asshole.
37:37I'm sorry too.
37:38Maybe the trip, but to let the present in.
