Stop right there, Independent! My ship might be damaged, but I can still tear apart the likes of you without breaking a sweat. I am General Than. Challenge me if you wish for death.

You’ll forgive me if I’m not placated by that sentiment. Many predators would come to the wounded beast offering honeyed words… Right before they go for his throat.

General, your warp core has been critically damaged. I am detecting multiple breaches that are contributing to a leak of theta radiation.

Continued exposure to that much theta radiation will result in dehydration, extreme fever, degradation of muscle functions and, finally, fatal blood loss through various bodily orifices.

That is no way for a Klingon to die. Fine, I will accept your offer of support. I just hope that it doesn’t come at the expense of my honor.

Excellent. My vessel is back in fighting shape. I must say, it is… surprising to receive assistance from my enemies.

In this situation, General, it is likely that we are not enemies. Given how far you are from Klingon Space, I surmise that you must have been hunting Separatists, correct?

You are sharp, for a Federation lackey. Yes, I was scouting for Separatists along the Federation border. I ran afoul of some of them on my way back and they followed me here.

You would like me to tell you that, wouldn’t you? Was this all some sort of Federation trick?

We are not here to trick you, General. In fact, our orders are to help you.

Hmmm. If that’s true, perhaps you can help me. Perhaps we can help each other. The leader of this group of Separatists, Chak, has surrounded himself with automated defenses.

To go at him head-on would be foolish. Instead, I plan on luring him out and taking him to where we control the battlefield.

I have synthesized the distress call of a Starfleet vessel. No human captain would ever fall for the trick, but the Separatists do not possess the same knowledge of Starfleet transmissions.

Chak is a relentless killer. He will not pass up an opportunity to finish off a wounded enemy. We will use this signal to lure him to us, where we will capture him.

I have found an ideal location to place our lure. Take me to the Ajilon system.

Before we begin, I just wanted to let you know that what happened in Ajilon… Well, it wasn’t your fault, nor was it the fault of Admiral Hatch.

This business with the Klingons has got everyone on edge. Just today we picked up a rather perplexing distress signal coming out of the Opla system.

Admiral Johnson
Dialogue
It’s a Klingon signal, Commander. Now, I’m not sure if you’re aware but the Separatists aren’t exactly keen to call out for help when their ships are damaged.

Phase

Character
Admiral Johnson
Dialogue
In fact, they’re more likely to blow themselves up. That’s what has us so worried. It’s likely a trap, a setup for an ambush of some kind.

The fact remains though, that it could be genuine. Could be a civilian vessel for all we know, or a trading transport.

Admiral Johnson
Dialogue
We cannot let this war destroy who we are as a people. We can’t let the Separatists take our principles away. I don’t care if they’re Klingon, if they’re in danger, you help them. Understood?

Yes, this is perfect. This is but a short warp away from Chak’s current position. He should be here momentarily.

Why is it that you are here alone Than? Surely a general has troops to delegate these responsibilities to.

General Than

Oh, yes I could have hand chosen the best warriors in the Klingon army for this mission, but you see, Chak is my brother. We are both of House Antaak.

General Than
Dialogue
The difference between us is that I had the foresight to see that Gorkon’s plan will bring glory to Kronos for centuries to come. My fool brother can only see to the end of his Bat’leth.

This is why I am here. When Chak left, he did not just betray Kronos, he also betrayed me. Such an insult must be repaid personally.

Yes, that would be Chak. Commander, you must strike now, while he is unaware. We cannot allow his minions to protect him.

Commander, I find myself in a most uncomfortable position. You saved my life and helped me bring my brother to justice. However, you are also my enemy whom I have sworn to destroy.

Perhaps that need not be so, after all, Than. The Federation does not want this war.

I would not be so sure, Chak. You see, that distress signal was not meant only to lure you to us. It was also a signal to my brothers and sisters in the Klingon fleet.

Bring us to Vos’Keth Station. My brother will receive a warm welcome, I’m sure. Don’t worry, I will make sure to signal to the Station that you are not to be fired upon.
