:23:00
He hated it and returned to Gault.
I stayed.
:23:04
You haven't spent much time
among your own kind.
:23:07
Hardly none.
:23:09
So, when the night
was still and quiet,
:23:13
and the sound of the blood
in your veins filled your ears,
:23:17
the only way to silence it
was to slip out into the night,
:23:21
and like the hunter that spawned you,
:23:23
join in the struggle
of life and death.
:23:27
- You were unable...
- The others did not understand.
:23:31
- You frightened them.
- They shunned you.
:23:34
Cursed you, called you vile names,
and you knew not why.
:23:38
Even now,
do you know why you are driven?
:23:41
Why you cannot relent, or repent,
or confess, or abstain?
:23:49
How could you know?
:23:51
There have been no other Klingons
to lead you to that knowledge.
:23:55
Yes.
:23:57
Yes, those feelings
are still a part of me.
:24:05
But I control them.
:24:07
They do not rule me.
:24:11
Yes. To fit in, the humans demand
that you change the one thing
:24:17
that you cannot change.
But because you cannot,
:24:24
you do.
That too is the mark of a warrior.
:24:30
You said I mock you. I do not.
:24:33
I salute you!
:24:35
Against whom do you test yourself?
:24:37
- What enemy do you battle?
- I have been in battle.
:24:41
- Then, you understand.
- Yes, I do.
:24:44
Brother, this "peace",
this "Alliance",
:24:48
is like a living death
to warriors like us.
:24:51
You're right,
we lied to your Commander.
:24:55
We commandeered that freighter
and left the crew behind.
:24:58
We were in search of a place
where we can live like true Klingons!
