While the Romulan Commander was talking, I detected a short, encrypted transmission being sent from her vessel.

She was stalling us! Buying time while she sent her message. I was a fool, allowing her to speak her last. The honor of my time is fading fast, it seems…

Commander, we’ve been tricked! The Romulan counter-attack came too soon. Sooner than anyone could have possibly predicted!

Their fleets converged on our staging area and tore it to shreds. There’s simply no way they could have reacted that fast. Something smells wrong with this.

The system of Kaikara houses a Romulan base of operations. They use it to coordinate all of their actions in the region.

We need to respond to this assault in kind. You will meet me in Kaikara and annihilate every Romulan we see! We will show them fear, the way only a Klingon can.

Damn you. You know nothing of Klingon ways! I am old. My body is dying and my wits are dulled. With each passing day, all pretense of glory slips further into memory.

I would have died a warrior’s death, a hero’s death. Instead, I am doomed to rot. To die weak and forgotten.

I owe you a blood debt, Commander, and so I will not try to exact revenge for this betrayal. Instead, I will offer a word of advice.

Savor the fruit of life. It has a sweet taste when it is fresh from the vine, but do not grow old. The taste bitters after a time.

We are not willing to let you die. Commander, if we can defeat one of the Romulan bombers harassing K'Ran, that should give him the opening he needs.

Look at them out there, Commander. This system is full of filth, subservient to the Romulan tyrants.

Let us begin sending our message. Destroy as many ships as you can in the system. Show no mercy, Commander, for you will receive none.

Disappointing. Not one of these whelps was a match for us. We find victory, yes, but it is hardly a victory worth speaking of.

A Romulan battleship! Finally, a worthy adversary. Have you come to test your mettle, tyrant?

Oh, you Klingons. Your outdated notions of glory and honor are so very… Endearing. Normally, I would absolutely relish the opportunity to bleed that bravado out of you.

I’m most curious about you as well, Commander. It is unusual to see an Independent like yourself align with someone like K’Ran. I would so love to find out what makes you tick.

However, I’m afraid your actions here necessitate a more immediate reaction. At least you can die quickly with the knowledge that the rest of your pathetic empire will be joining you shortly.

Dire. We had pushed the Romulans to the edge of the system when their reinforcements arrived. Battleships fell on us like hornets. They tore our ships to pieces!

We have received an emergency transmission from Vos’Keth Station. A Romulan transport has stolen vital Klingon fleet data and is fleeing towards enemy space.

Those duplicitous cowards! Commander, you must destroy that transport before it reaches Romulan space. If they get that data, they learn everything.

K'Ran, if we go after the transport, we will not be able to assist you. With those odds, you must likely perish.

The infamous Independent. I must admit, I had expected catching you to be much more difficult. I’m almost disappointed.
