:26:00
Captain, long-range sensors
indicate another vessel approaching.
:26:04
- Can you identify it?
- No, sir, not yet.
:26:08
Keep a close watch on it.
:26:10
So close to the Neutral Zone
it can't be random.
:26:14
Let's look at that sensory data.
:26:18
What magnificent battles we could
have at the helm of this ship.
:26:24
Perhaps your dreams of glory
no longer fit the time.
:26:28
They belong buried with the past.
:26:31
Standing here we will never know.
:26:34
Our answer lies out there.
Our instincts will lead us.
:26:38
Instincts not dulled
by living among civilised men.
:26:44
I believe, sir,
that was the first time
:26:46
outsiders have witnessed
the Klingon death ritual.
:26:50
I can understand them looking
at a dying man's eyes,
:26:53
but the howling?
:26:55
It was a warning.
:26:56
To who?
:26:58
They're warning the dead, sir.
:27:00
"Beware, a Klingon warrior
is about to arrive."
:27:07
Captain, that unidentified vessel
is approaching us at warp five.
:27:11
Intersect one hour, 1 6 minutes,
33 seconds.
:27:14
- Can we get a visual?
- I can try, sir.
:27:23
Magnify.
:27:29
Hello.
:27:33
Klingons.
:27:34
- Open hailing frequencies, Lt Yar.
- Hailing frequencies open.
:27:39
Klingon cruiser, this is Jean-Luc
Picard of the USS Enterprise.
:27:43
I am Cmdr K'nera.
What is your purpose in this area?
:27:47
We came to investigate a battle.
We rescued three Klingon survivors.
:27:50
That is all that is left
of the crew of the cruiser T'Acog?
:27:54
They're from the freighter Batris.
Their leader is Capt Korris.
:27:59
You have him on your ship?
He is alive?
