00:44Chancellor's address, stardate 868943.8.
00:49We're three days into our first official space flight,
00:53circling the Val Nebula.
00:56I'm struck by its beauty.
00:59I'm struck by its very existence.
01:03The incalculable number of atoms
01:06that had to converge in this tiny patch
01:08of a seemingly infinite universe.
01:11This nebula was once a star.
01:13It could not have evolved into this present
01:16without every moment of its past.
01:18It makes me think of all of you, my cadets.
01:21The paths each of you have taken,
01:24all your life experiences,
01:26the decisions you've made
01:28that have led you to be right here, right now.
01:31As you go off to class today, ask yourselves,
01:34how will you keep evolving?
01:36How will we all, as our journey continues?
01:42With the first link, the chain is forged.
01:46The first speech censured.
01:50The first thought forbidden us all, irrevocably.
01:58Who said that?
02:00Come on, you little zygotes, who reads?
02:03Ah, cadet live.
02:05Judge Aaron Sauti.
02:06One of the finest minds of the 24th century,
02:10and in whose honor we hold the Academy's debate competition.
02:15Speech and debate is not for the chicken shit.
02:19Um, excuse me, are you allowed to talk like that?
02:22Like what?
02:23Cadet Holloway, know that I have existed
02:26longer than your entire lineage.
02:28I have earned the right to speak as I see fit.
02:30One day you too may earn that same privilege.
02:34But alas, that day is not today.
02:39Now, as I was saying before being pointlessly interrupted,
02:41Yo, are you okay?
02:42Despite any medicines, you may feel...
02:44I do not like public speaking.
02:47I know you're the only shy Klingon in history,
02:49but you got some game, right?
02:50Klingons do not do game.
02:53We do complex and violent mating rituals
02:57that end in bloodshed.
03:00Ended poetry.
03:02That was a lot more information than I was expecting.
03:04And you may be interested to know
03:05that debate is one of the oldest arts,
03:07not just on Earth, but throughout the...
03:09Debate.
03:10Something else can handle on the battlefield.
03:12You know, you...
03:13You don't...
03:13Framie, I tend to pop in now and then.
03:16On the USS Voyager,
03:18long before you were even a twinkle in your father's past,
03:22I won the right to be myself through argument.
03:26I debated myself into existence.
03:30The power of speech and debate
03:32brought Betazed back into the Federation.
03:35If you and I were to stand up
03:37and take our positions at these two podiums,
03:41I could prove you don't exist.
03:45What?
03:46Sorry?
03:46That's your opening argument?
03:48Warm-up drill.
03:49Everyone up.
03:51Come on.
03:51One straight line down the middle.
03:54Now, let's see who among you
03:55has done your preparation
03:57on Starfleet debate regulations,
03:59or who among you will humiliate themselves
04:02in full view of their peers.
04:04Resolved.
04:05Sentient existence should return to a pre-war time.
04:08Every species enjoyed the more harmonious,
04:11peaceful era.
04:12Amateurs motivate arguments with feelings, not facts.
04:16Any research on the Cygna-Ducana system
04:18and its pre-space flight culture
04:19proves that the pre-war era
04:20was continually in conflict.
04:22Mir, advance.
04:24Resolved.
04:25The War College should move its campus to Earth's moon.
04:28If one regards the War College
04:29as a possible defensive bridge...
04:31The War College is indeed a college,
04:32not a branch of the military.
04:34The strategic benefits of a divided defense
04:36are immeasurable.
04:37Therefore, it falls under Regulation 17,
04:39subsection 343, paragraph 234,
04:41which requires all lunar campuses
04:43to maintain Level 5 or higher
04:45on the Fuller-Story scale for lunar stability.
04:47Mir, advance.
04:53Mir, advance.
04:56Mir.
04:57Mir.
04:59Mir.
05:00Against all reason and expectation.
05:03Yep, yep, yep.
05:15Cadet Krog, your prompt, please.
05:20Cadet Krog?
05:24Cadet?
05:25Are you all right?
05:27Do you need to sit down?
05:30Cadet Krog?
05:39Cadet, are you okay?
05:40You okay?
05:40My pants are breaking.
05:45Dude, what the hell happened in there?
05:48How bad was it?
05:50Uh, on a scale of what to what?
05:52I have difficulties expressing my point of view at times.
05:57You have the advantage.
05:57You're a Klingon.
05:59Let me tell you something.
05:59Before you even open your mouth,
06:00people are intimidated by you.
06:02What if a hologuard catches us?
06:04Last time I checked,
06:04it's not a crime to reprogram a dot to bring us lunch.
06:07Did you truly memorize all of those laws and regulations?
06:11Or were you making them up?
06:13In prison, you have to learn stuff to survive.
06:16Arguing is just another form of combat for me.
06:18Klingons, Klingons love combat.
06:19That is not the issue.
06:22The issue is that arguing,
06:24standing up for what I believe makes sweat flood down my face.
06:28Here.
06:29Eat your feelings.
06:31I swear it doesn't even taste like replicator food.
06:34Yeah.
06:36See?
06:38What are you doing?
06:39No pepperoni.
06:40The pepperoni is the whole point.
06:41I will not eat anything that did not die in a fair fight.
06:44It doesn't even come from a real pig.
06:50Are you hoarding food under your bed again?
06:53I'm not taking questions at this time, unfortunately.
06:56I saved a surprise for you, though.
06:58I gave the replicators the recipe.
07:02But should we click?
07:04That's real Klingon food, right?
07:07And trail stew?
07:08That is warrior stew.
07:10Only those who have served their house in battle can taste it.
07:14My father and mother taught me better than that.
07:18You grew up with three parents?
07:20A triad house.
07:23I once shared a garbage freighter with the Klingon.
07:27Still waste.
07:28She told me the story.
07:29How Kalish united the houses and conquered Konosh from the tyrant Molor.
07:35How they ate entrails stew to taste their victory.
07:40And how Kalish's warriors laid their weapons at his feet to honor him.
07:43My parents used to sing us to sleep with that myth.
07:49It gave us comfort in the refugee camps.
07:52Konosh would have been cool to see.
08:04Chancellor Ake regards my presence.
08:08Kadadkrat.
08:09We wanted you to hear it from us before the news breaks publicly.
08:13A Klingon ship carrying about eight houses to a refugee camp on Taurus 7
08:20and suffered catastrophic mechanical failure.
08:24It's unconfirmed, but we've reasoned to believe your family was on board.
08:43Are they dead?
08:45We don't know yet.
08:47Logistics are complicated.
08:49There was a time before the burn when the Federation and the Klingons were allies.
08:54Today, they refuse...
08:56Everything.
08:59Even if it means their extinction.
09:03The horrific tragedy unfolding in real time as the Klingon refugee crisis worsens.
09:08Today, an unregistered heavy cargo carrier with members of the eight remaining Klingon houses on board
09:15suffered a catastrophic mechanical failure and crashed on its way to a refugee center.
09:20After the burn caused the lithium reactors on Kronos and other worlds to explode,
09:25billions perished.
09:27Now, one of the most powerful races sits on the brink of extinction.
09:32They're crap.
09:35Jaden.
09:38We'll do everything we can to get you answers.
09:42That might not be easy as the news spreads.
09:47You're the only Klingon cadet Starfleet has.
09:50So if you'd like to take some time off...
09:53No, Chancellor.
09:59Am I dismissed?
10:00I would not like to be late to class.
10:03If you want to speak with a counselor, the doctor is more than...
10:06I said goodbye to my family a long time ago.
10:13With your permission.
10:16Of course.
10:20Of course.
10:45It's a ship to autres.
12:46We cannot be late for dinner again.
12:49Do not forget your binoculars this time.
12:53Brother, wait.
12:55You were supposed to be teaching me to hunt today.
12:58That is what I told them.
13:01But that is not you, Jayden.
13:04Yours is a different path.
13:12House Krag!
13:14Tenar is nearly ready.
13:17I found the Arabs to hunt you in Trill Stew, Tar.
13:21Ah, Warrior Stew.
13:22Yes.
13:23Jayden?
13:24You will have the stew too.
13:27One day, my son.
13:30Beware, Klingon-faring gifts.
13:33Tar, rise and approach your father.
13:37I made this horde whiff for you.
13:39The way our ancestors have been making weapons for centuries.
13:43Klingon in its marrow.
13:45Yes.
13:48I will make one for you as well, Jayden.
13:50Once you honor the Hutt, and become a warrior like your brother.
13:58I do not want a weapon.
14:03What did you say, boy?
14:07I will tell you one last time.
14:11Herbs and healing have their place.
14:13But they will not serve you if you are dead.
14:18Tar.
14:20Brother.
14:23My brother.
14:28Why couldn't they see me?
14:33As you saw me.
14:36Yes, my brother.
14:37You knew my heart even before I did.
14:45You led me to it.
14:51Brother, come.
14:53I found you something quite rare at the trading post.
14:59But you must promise not to tell mother and fathers a Starfleet transmitter.
15:05That is forbidden.
15:06Alien technology.
15:08I heard Starfleet is a place for explorers, scientists, healers.
15:14Fathers and I are going to the trading post again tomorrow.
15:17I can get you some more Starfleet tech.
15:20Your mind is hungry, Jayden.
15:23We should feed it.
15:29Leading diplomatic missions, providing medical aid.
15:32If you're looking for us, we're looking for you at Starfleet Academy.
15:38After 120 years, we are recruiting again.
15:42Your destiny, little brother.
15:43It is not here.
15:45It is out there in the stars.
15:48The rest of the Klingon Empire became uninhabitable.
15:51Now, one of the most powerful races sits on the break of-
15:57Jayden.
16:00I'm so sorry.
16:08If there's, like, anything we can do to help or to maybe...
16:21Our Aran Sati debate event is this week.
16:25Competitors will argue for and against a resolution.
16:29After affirmative and negative statements,
16:31there will be a round of cross-examinations.
16:34Then, final summations.
16:36A battle of words.
16:39Now, I'd like to hear ideas for our central topic.
16:44Anyone?
16:46The new government on Beta Zed.
16:48The geopolitical impact of the Emerald's chain.
16:53Yes, Cadet.
16:54Doctor, it seems irresponsible to focus elsewhere
16:57with what's just happened with the Klingons.
16:58Everyone knows they lost Kronos because they blew it up themselves.
17:01No one needs your embarrassing conspiracy theories.
17:03That Klingon incursion into Hectaren, that enslavement, total fiction.
17:07That's enough, Cadet Mere.
17:08Read a book, moron.
17:10I do not need you to defend me.
17:13Cadets, the Klingon diaspora is not an appropriate topic for this...
17:18Why not?
17:26It is the one thing everyone is already speaking about.
17:32Dude, don't do this to yourself, okay?
17:35It is either going to happen in here or out there.
17:39I would rather it happen in here.
17:41I cannot allow the reality of the current situation to influence this event.
17:47Avoiding reality does not make it disappear, Doctor.
18:00Very well.
18:03Any dissenters?
18:05Any dissenters?
18:09Any dissenters?
18:09Any dissenters?
18:14We are resolved.
18:16Review the facts of the Klingon diaspora, then choose your positions.
18:22Cadets, I admonish you.
18:25Your preparation had better be faultless.
18:29there's been a tragedy don't compound it with ignorance
18:35i have no news on jayden krog's family yet i wish i did i know that look whatever this is
18:42i'm gonna hate it i think the opposite take a look command has identified an uninhabited
18:49planet within federation space fun alpha its geothermal energy matches that of chronos
18:55a new home potentially did you bring this to the klingon oh yes they made it clear that they
19:02would rather die than take starfleet charity there's one their oldest warlord obel wachak
19:10you knew him when he was a young diplomat he's known to be open to outsiders as long as it
19:15benefits his people i thought maybe you'd maybe you'd give it a go given your history my history
19:25happened decades before you were born charlie how do you even know about it your personal
19:29files i've been reading them for the last seven years longer than war and peace and so much
19:34more dramatic insane plot twists do it for you cadet now at the very least obel can help locate
19:44jayden's family if there is a klingon who can see the benefit of faun alpha it's him
19:58no one can know about this meeting or he would risk dishonor from his own and never come
20:08why is he doing this the last thing jayden needs is to be on stage battling against his friends
20:16hey we were just strategizing i'll be arguing the affirmative that the federation should offer
20:21the klingon's asylum you want to partner up i'm sure the doctor would approve it given everything
20:30who else is working as a team oh but special circumstances
20:39just an offer you do not think i can do this myself what no jade no that's not what i'm
20:46saying i'm
20:46i do not need to partner with you or anyone else jayden mir isn't ass but he's the best debater
20:54we got
20:54master master debater sir i do not care who i debate against and i am on the negative
21:03any plan for klingon survival should be left to the klingons
21:08wait wait negative what you don't think the federation's protection would help your people
21:11there is no protection not from laws there never can be
21:20there is no protection not from laws there is no protection not from laws there is no protection
21:33god remember when the mother taught us about the nightbird

22:59stars
23:05uh
23:13ah
23:14ah
23:15ah
23:16Fuck.
23:43I smell vintage blood wine.
23:47One might think you're trying to get on my good side.
23:50I'm pretty sure I never left.
23:54You managed to get here under the radar.
23:56You had doubts?
23:58Nope.
24:08It is good to see you.
24:10Time has had a light touch, even for a lanthanite.
24:14Says the Klingon who's seen a century.
24:19Catching up properly or straight to business?
24:22Business.
24:22Catching up properly can only complicate.
24:30That's Phon Alpha.
24:33Virtually identical to Kronos in temperature.
24:37Topography.
24:38Volcanic emission.
24:40Now I've...
24:41Only one species I know could build a home there.
24:45Phon Alpha is a charity the Houses would never accept.
24:51You know who we are.
24:53Who I am.
24:54Yes.
24:54I'm trying to save you.
24:57Arrogant.
24:59Always.
25:00And there it is.
25:04I came here knowing this wouldn't work.
25:06But there are a few ways for us to spend time together that do not frighten you, Nala.
25:12I haven't changed.
25:14But I have.
25:15The warrior I knew would have done anything to ensure the future of his people.
25:20I would have dishonored my people to spare them.
25:25Now, we have nothing left but our traditions.
25:28Is there room to expand tradition?
25:34No more of your word, games.
25:36We haven't been drinking long enough.
25:39No games.
25:42I know the Houses consider you their leader.
25:46So many of them have already taken refuge in Phon Alpha's sector in Federation space.
25:52Let us grant them, all of you, asylum on Phon Alpha.
25:56Hort Losh was not granted.
25:58You know this.
26:00Accepting the charity of the Federation is an impossibility.
26:04Our Houses will only unite over Conquest.
26:08Conquest.
26:08Conquest won't save you from extinction.
26:14And it'll only orphan my cadet.
26:18A Klingon?
26:20In the Academy?
26:22Yes.
26:23And if this family is still alive,
26:26you're their only chance to stay that way.
26:31Honorable Assembly,
26:34I am here to refute.
26:37My opponent has argued that the Klingon,
26:42that the Klingon Empire...
26:45could try losing the notes, memorizing your arguments.
26:48I know.
26:50Sexual work.
26:52But it ends up being kind of liberating.
26:54I did not ask for pointers.
26:57But you need them.
26:58You do not determine what I need.
27:00A day ago, you were pouring a sweat.
27:02In public.
27:03Is this because I offered to partner up?
27:04You were not offering partnership.
27:06You were offering to speak for me.
27:08No, look.
27:10Neither of us are like anyone else here.
27:11We both grew up with nothing.
27:13Came here with nothing.
27:15Neither of us has anywhere else to go.
27:16But our sacrifices are not the same.
27:20Yeah, I know.
27:21I know.
27:21But we have a kind of orphan fraternity thing going on, don't we?
27:24We do not.
27:26We are not brothers.
27:33Is that why it's so important for you to challenge me?
27:36Yeah.
27:37You're trying to teach me a lesson?
27:39This is not about you.
27:41But if you happen to learn that lesson in defeat,
27:43it will be an added benefit.
27:45I would love to make this nightmare about my people,
27:48but I don't have any people.
27:50Okay?
27:50So you need to...
27:51Correct.
27:52You do not have people.
27:54You regurgitate facts about everything and everyone,
27:58the Klingons, the Orions, the Federation,
28:01but you have no understanding of what any of that means.
28:23You lich, josh, josh!
28:24Just judge!
28:30Oh, that was a glorious night!
28:35The cops came.
28:38And then I woke up,
28:40and you weren't there anymore.
28:44You made it clear
28:46this wasn't in the cart for you.
28:49You made it clear you'd never leave your ship.
29:01Tell your cadet
29:02I'll look into his house.
29:04See if they survived.
29:07Is that all?
29:10A century later,
29:12then you're still surprised
29:14when you don't get what you want.
29:24You always insisted in making everything a fight.
29:29I am Klingon.
29:30The fight is where I live.
29:32I was Barkingon.
29:44We're looking for you.
29:46Time to fly your own path.
29:57I made this Horwick for you.
30:05You will complete the hunt and make your first kill.
30:10You will take your place in the house and come back a true warrior like him.
30:15Have you considered my request, father?
30:19I could learn valuable skills at Starfleet Academy. Skills I could have used to heal him.
30:26Federation technology would not have saved your brother.
30:32This is an insult to our family. This has no place in our house.
30:38You are Klingon. This trinket?
30:44Starfleet has not bled for you. Has not put its dreams, its future, into you.
30:53Tveklatok. A bird of prey. It is a sign. Now is your time, son. Now!
31:02Strike now! Prove you are a warrior! Strike! Strike!
31:07Honor you, brother.
31:16I am...
31:21I am...
31:23Honoring him.
31:32A Ryo!
31:39Father, stop.
31:40A Ryo!
31:42A Ryo!
31:45A Ryo!
31:52These weapons are not for you.
32:04No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
32:19Go away.
32:27Look, I'm just here to ask a favor.
32:29Whatever you've said to Caleb has got him stomping around our room now.
32:32He's like super pissy with me.
32:34So I'm going to ask you, hit me.
32:38What?
32:38Come on, you...
32:40No, you aren't saying...
32:41You can pretend you're punching Caleb in the face.
32:43I do not want to punch...
32:44We all want to punch Caleb in the face.
32:45Even Caleb wants to punch himself in the face.
32:47It's a core tenant of his personality.
32:51Jayden.
32:52What are you so scared of?
32:54Huh?
32:55Just show me what you got.
32:56Come on.
32:57Hit me.
32:57Show me.
32:58Come on.
32:59I am not hitting you.
33:02It would be like squashing an insect.
33:09That felt good.
33:11Didn't it?
33:13You know what they teach young fighters?
33:14On Kionia when fear takes hold.
33:18Hmm?
33:20It's a way near.
33:23Battle breathing.
33:25What on your feet?
33:33Trust me.
33:37Fire.
33:38Shre rhoisti Meghi.ier
33:44Oh,
33:45Shre sher. Oh,
33:47Shreowa. Oh,

34:33It's your voice, it's yours, use it.
34:44Honorable Assembly, my opponent has argued that the Klingon
34:59that the Klingon Empire.
35:03Come on, come on.
35:35Gather round and take your seats, little zygotes.
35:37It's time to welcome your judge for today's debate, the Doctor.
35:48Welcome all to Starfleet Academy's first Aaron Satie debate competition
35:55in over a century.
36:05Competitors will challenge each other on a pre-chosen topic
36:09about the Klingon diaspora.
36:12Please be aware that facts and evidence presented
36:16in affirmative and rebuttal speeches must be accurate.
36:20You look very bad.
36:22Thanks, Laura.
36:25Are you hungover?
36:28Nope.
36:31I take it things went badly with Obel Wojcik.
36:35Yep.
36:36Now, without further ado, may the most impressive performance
36:42become part of Starfleet history.
36:48Cadet Lied for the affirmative.
36:50Cadet Rainey for the negative.
36:53The Federation has a moral obligation to provide security for Klingon houses.
36:57The Federation has a moral obligation to the rest of the galaxy to rebuild itself
37:01with limited post-burn resources, unless you're suggesting severe galactic ration.
37:07An existential crisis outweighs a little belt tightening.
37:11Cadet Rainey.
37:13What the God!
37:16I affirm that the Federation should moderate armistice negotiations
37:20between the Klingons and their former subjects.
37:22I countered that the Oregonian peace treaty between the Klingons and the Federation,
37:27it didn't last.
37:28Inaccurate.
37:29It was superseded by the Ketomer.
37:31Nicoretus.
37:33Cadet Sirius Acclamation Mill.
37:36Sam.
37:41Cadets Mir and Krogh.
37:48Cadet Mir for the affirmative.
37:53Cadet Krogh for the negative.
38:10I'm here to affirm the resolution that the Federation must provide and indeed enforce asylum for the Klingons.
38:16My criterion is Federation law.
38:19According to Star Trek, the command general orders and regulations, book 7, 8.
38:23Section 2386.
38:26Paragraph 2434.
38:31Paragraph 2434.
38:33The core responsibility of its personnel is to provide aid to any sentient being in need of assistance,
38:38unless it violates the Prime Directive, which, in this case, it does not.
38:53The core responsibility of the Klingon.
38:58Cognition for the
38:59The danach is to provide a better response at this situation.
39:06Book 12,
39:11Code 2398, Subsection 89.
39:16Why? If engaged in diplomatic relations with species that are not allies, Starfleet officers need not contradict alien morality.
39:28There's legal precedent that amends Code 2398. Stardate 2314, the USS Origin saves Lin species from extinction via relocation.
39:38Non-consensual relocation, as 2398 does not qualify at-
39:43It does when a known race is in mortal danger. Stardate 2289, Koth vs. Pharah.
39:55Stardate 2930.8, Vulcan vs. Koth concedes that mortal danger is a matter of subjective perception.
40:03How many Klingons are left in the quadrants, Jaden?
40:06Enough to know that each Klingon matters.
40:08Cadets, refrain from personal comments. First warning. Cadet Krog, your rebuttal.
40:15My criterion is the Klingons in and of themselves.
40:22In the context of this debate, the Federation and their laws are irrelevant. To argue otherwise is to deny Klingons
40:30their right to define themselves. Is that not an existential right?
40:35Without self-definition, are Klingons, Klingons? And does the Federation require other great peoples to cease to be in order
40:44to redefine itself after the burn?
40:48It is not the Federation's advantage or place to tell the Klingons who they are. Or yours. Ever.
40:59Cadet Krog, second warning. Your argument implies that all Klingons must feel the same.
41:05Demands Klingons exist as Klingons.
41:09Klingons need to exist, period. And we do, as ourselves.
41:13I know a Klingon who has rejected the isolationism you say defines all Klingons and now enjoys Federation provided food,
41:20safety and resources.
41:21As a Klingon. Cadets, return to your podiums immediately.
41:25You refuse to belong to anything, yet you will define it for those who are willing to die for it.
41:30Isn't that why you left your family? Because they were willing to...
41:32You have no idea what family means. And you stabbed your family in the back!
41:45Both of you. Out. You are done.
42:11You are done.
42:16Cadet master, I apologize for my behavior at the debate. I do not know...
42:22Stop. At ease, cadet.
42:41I come from a Jem'Hadar Klingon family.
42:44Freed Jem'Hadar lineage on my father's side,
42:47Klingon on my mother's.
42:50My Klingon grandparents
42:53renounced their house
42:55to ride in conquest by the side of the Jem'Hadar.
42:59So I've seen my fair share of brotherly fights.
43:02They usually end in broken bones.
43:04This one was quite tame, if you ask me.
43:06Caleb.
43:07It is not my brother.
43:13I've never had the privilege
43:15of being a mentor to a fellow Klingon.
43:19I do not want to...
43:22F it up, as Commander Reno says.
43:25But I regret not trusting my own instincts
43:28and speaking to you.
43:30Not as your Starfleet instructor,
43:32but as your Klingon elder.
43:34I would have helped you see
43:36the Klingon you are,
43:38as all elders should.
43:39But I do not know what Klingon I am
43:44or what Starfleet officer.
43:47I dishonored both worlds.
43:50The last day with my house,
43:52my father and I went hunting together.
43:56It was my family's rite of passage.
44:00You become a warrior after your first kill.
44:03I could not do it.
44:07I could not do it.
44:08I caused my father such anger.
44:10I knew it.
44:11He missed the kill shot.
44:13He missed the kill shot.
44:14No!
44:17And abandoned the hunt.
44:19He left me.
44:21They all left.
44:25Motherfathers.
44:29Come back!
44:32I'm back!
44:38There are only a few things I know to be true.
44:43One of them is Klingons do not miss out of anger.
44:48I do not understand.
44:50A hunt is a battle.
44:52Rage makes our kills more satisfying.
44:59Unless...
45:00we find an opponent who humbles us.
45:05I believe your father honoured the hunt the only way he knew how.
45:10By recognising your victory.
45:14And setting you free.
45:17So that you could fly.
45:23Your father missed his shot to let you go.
45:32He saw you for who you are.
45:38A Klingon warrior whose passion for death is surpassed only by his passion for life.
45:53Now, you must see yourself as he did.
45:58And as your brother did.
46:00A warrior not with weapons, but words.
46:09How does any of this matter if there is no hope for any of us?
46:15There is a planet.
46:17A new Konosh.
46:19The Federation wants to gift it to our people.
46:22No.
46:23But I do not have to tell you how that offer...
46:26landed.
46:34Get me back on that debate stage.
46:53I am a Klingon warrior.
46:59I learned that here.
47:01I learned that here.
47:02That is not a simple thing to say.
47:07My opponent has offered some valid points as to why the Federation should compel the Klingons to accept asylum.
47:17It is the Federation after all.
47:20But the Federation stops being the Federation if it insists Klingons stop being Klingons.
47:30These are not mutually exclusive.
47:33Both exist in me.
47:35I exist as both on my own terms.
47:40Now it is time we meet Klingons on theirs.
47:46Our culture was born in myth.
47:51My father made us memorize the story of Kaelish.
47:58Who gave us our laws of honor and our home of Khotnos.
48:04Warriors everywhere laid their weapons at his feet.
48:08My brother.
48:11He understood the full expanse of the myth of Kaelish.
48:22He always did.
48:27I did not.
48:36I could not.
48:39I could not.
48:49Until now.
48:51Battle exists in as many forms as there are warriors as long as it is fought in service of our
49:00people.
49:01Battle is the language we use to honor each other.
49:06It is the way we first became one.
49:10The Federation would do better to humble themselves and learn to hear our language as it is spoken.
49:21Therefore, I suggest a Klingon solution to a Klingon problem.
49:40The way that W painful will not do that.
49:43The way that is applied for it is not to be made with that force.
49:48The way that we have to take the Klingon path.
49:49The way he is.
49:51But that is a good point that we do not win for your people.
49:52The way that we are going to stand out.
49:55The way that is still there.
49:59We are going to be.
50:00The way that is weak.
50:03The way that we are going to do is now.
50:06We must be.
50:08The way that is to be.
50:10no battle experience the federation thinks it's worth the risk no matter how this ends
50:17you brought us here that means everything come with me lieutenant dandred get us out of warp
50:27all right captain come stand by to hail general wochok it's time to meet an old foe

53:11on behalf of the federation we offer you complete surrender
53:16upon offer is now klingon
53:19our ships have showed ours mercy for that there are no casualties on both sides it seems
