negotiations with the klingon empire are on the verge of breaking down. starfleet command anticipates a surprise attack. we are to proceed to organia and take whatever steps are necessary to prevent the klingons from using it as a base. strategically sound. organia is the only class "m" planet in the disputed area, spock. inhabited by humanoids, a very peaceful, friendly people living on a primitive level. little of intrinsic value. approximately class "d-" on richter's scale of cultures. another armenia, belgium. sir? the weak innocents. they always seem to be located on the natural invasion routes. captain, the automatic deflector screen just popped on. body approaching. configuration, mr. sulu. phaser banks. lock on. return fire. maintain firing range. 100% dispersal pattern. captain, the other ship doesn't register. only drifting debris. we got him. all hands, maintain general alert. hold battle stations. damage report, mr. spock. minor, captain. we were most fortunate. blast damage in decks 10 and 11. minor buckling in the anti-matter pods. casualtie

he's impersonating the leader of the klingon empire. is starfleet going to do something about gowron? oh, they're going to do something. starfleet's sending an infiltration team to klingon territory. they are to do whatever it takes to prove gowron's a shapeshifter. me. [captioning sponsored by the u.s. department of education captain, you're just in time for happy hour. do i look happy, quark? you think any of these people looked happy when they walked in here? how could they? there's a war going on. but they come because they know i'll do everything in my power to help them forget their troubles. for a reasonable fee, of course. i'm looking for odo. oh, captain, we all have our failures, and he's mine. ever since he lost his shape-shifting abilities i haven't been able to get a smile out of him. where is he? i'm telling you that's one depressed ex-changeling. he's upstairs at his usual table. just follow the black cloud. constable. listen, captain... do you hear it? you mean the bubbles? soothing, isn't it? you know, before i became a

the klingon empire shall win. think of it, as we sit here, in space above us, the destiny of the galaxy will be decided for the next 10,000 years. can i ofofr you a drink? we can toast the victory of the klingon fleet. you may be prereture. though if someday we are defeated, well, war has its fortunes, good and bad. do you know why we are so strong? because we are a unit. each of us is part of the greater whole, always under surveillance. even a commander like myself. always under surveillance, captain. if you will note. cover, spock! back! shoot! shoot! oh! aah! oh! aah! aah! aah! what is it, spock? inexplicable, captain. extreme heat. not only the weapons, but the bodies as well. aah! we are terribly sorry but we cannot permit you to harm yourselves. what are you talking about? we have put a stop to your violence. you...are stopping t ts? you? all instruments of violence on this planet now radiate a temperature of 350 degrere. they are inoperative. my fleet! the same conditions exist on both starfleets. there wi

we are here to consider the request of the klingon empire that lieutenant commander worf be extradited for trial on charges of murder. advocate ch'pok. you may present your charges. the klingon empire makes the following allegations against lieutenant commander worf: that on stardate 49648 he knowingly fired upon and destroyed a klingon civilian transport ship near the pentath system. that as a result of that action 441 klingon civilians were killed. it is my intention to prove that mr. worf was grossly negligent in his command of thedefiant that his lust for combat overrode his good judgment. i ask only that he be returned to us to face the judgment of his own people. thank you. the advocate neglected to mention in his opening statement that at the time in question thedefiantwas under attack by two klingon warships. this was a combat situation with hundreds of lives at stake. it was at that moment when suddenly worf gave the order to fire. not because he was reckless or negligent but because he believed he was firing on a warship. we intend to show that the destruction of the transpor

harris claims he's doing this because starfleet needs a stable klingon empire. do you believe him? i don't trust him. if the klingons needed our help, there are easier ways to get it. i wanted to tell you everything, captain. his. i don't have to put you back in the brig, but you have to choose where your loyalties lie. i wasn't told where phlox was taken, but starfleet intelligence believe that klingons

i mean, you can't go to war against the whole klingon empire with one bird of prey. why not? your people fought against us for 50 years with much less sophisticated weaponry than this and you beat us. it's not the same. the bajoran people were united. we were all fighting for the same goal. you and your crew would be out there alone. maybe at first, but perhaps our actions would inspire others to join the struggle. it's not that easy, dukat. i know... which is why i need you. me? you know how to organize a resistance cell you're an expert in terrorist tactics you have close ties with bajoran and federation officials and besides all that, it would give you a chance to do what you were meant to do. got a job. u mean ? on that space station? we both know your talents are being wasted there. coordinating docking assignments and leading training exercises. on deep space nine you're nothing but a bureaucrat. an administrator. if you come with me, you can be a soldier again. think about it, major-- the chance to fight agagnst a superior foe in a righteous cause. d and broken people

the klingon empire is tired of words of negotiation of the endless delaying tactics of the federation. therefore, as of today, a klingon task force has been dispatched to the archanis sector. starfleet has ten days to abandon their bases and withdraw their forces from the sector. it's coming in on all frequencies. starfleet vessels found in the sector after that time notify the bajoran militia. for nearly 70 years, we have tried to live in peace... captain... we have fought at your side... it's him. gowron? what about him? during the link i sensed that the other changelings were trying to hide things from me-- faces, names... one of them was him. what are you saying? i'm saying that he's one of them. gowron, the head of the klingon empire is a changeling. ...will regain the archanis sector is by taking it, and so we will. let there be no mistake, no misunderstanding of my words. archanis is ours and we will take it back. resist us in any way and there will be war. and paramount television welcome to earth. i am admiral bullock and i will be your commanding officer for the next six mon

the klingon empire is intact. you knew there would be consequences. please, i won't disappoint you again. we'll restore it but only if you succeed in your next mission. but... you're disabling me. proceed with the extraction. (high-pitched whine) (whimpering) ? it's been a long road ? getting from there to here ? it's been a long time ? and i will see my dream come alive at last ? ? i will touch the sky ? and they're not gonna hold me down no more ? ? no, they're not gonna change my mind ? ? 'cause i've got faith of the heart ? ? i'm going where my heart will take me ? ? i've got faith to believe ? i can do anything ? i've got strength of the soul ? ? no one's gonna bebe or break me ? ? i can reach any star ? i've got faith ?i've got, i've got? ? i've got faith ? faith of the heart. and united paramount networks we've got 50,000 movies in the database. there must be something worth watching. you could always read a book. lieutenant. ensigns. enjoy the show last night? (groans) (chuckles) those wererewo hours of my life i'd rather have back. good morni

furthermore, if the federation still harbrbs any hope of peaceful coexistence with the klingon empire it must abandon all starbases and military installations in the archanis sector. our claim to a ahanis four and the surrounding territory is ancient and indisputable. we advise the federation to leave archanis or prepare to face the consequences. long live the empire. this recording was sent to the federation council three days ago. r then he has become even more dangerous than i thought. i don't get it. the klingons relinquished their claim to archanis four 100 years ago. i guess they changed their mind. i don't think gowron gives a damn about archanis. an old friend of curzon' s from the diplomatic corps. she sasa that representatives from federation worlds near the klingon border are already urging a prprmptive strike. sounds like war may be inevitable. but right now, there's not much we can do about it either way. archanis four is a long way from here. ( sneeeeng ) two, three... i say she stops at seven. i say eight. mr. worf? ten. oh, i hate being pregnant! i win. my nose hasn't

one day the klingon empire will fall before the jem'hadar and when that day comes and piles of klingons lie dead at my feet i will think of you, standing here impotent and weak and i will laugh. i said that's enough! worf, let him go! second, release the klingon or i will kill you where you stand. now, the two of you, as you were. more fight than you can handle ( grunts ) let's go. right behind you. worf! go. ready. wait. the room's not secure. where's the third guard? i do not see him. he's here somewhere. i know. we're supposed to be on our way out by now. out of time, commander. the third jem'hadar guard-- he is still here somewhere. look for a slight rippling effect. we know what we're looking for. we just can't find it. we're dead. omet'iklan: that's correct. the jem'hadar defense grid is now in operation. automated weapons systems have killed everyone in this room. your crew failed in their mission. so where's the other one? there was no third guard. you told me that jem'hadar soldiers always operate in teams of three. in battle, nothing is certain. you should have armed the explo

back to the klingon empire. let's see how many other birds we can flush out of here. why is it that suicide is considered a dishonorable death, worf? shouldn't a warrior have the right to decide when his time has come? if you die by your own hand you will not travel across the river of blood and entersto'vo'kor. even if i got cast down into the underworld at least i'd be with other klingons even though they are the dishonored dead. do you know what my one regret is, worf? that we weren't raised together. in the empire, on earth-- it wouldn't have mattered but the sons of mogh should have never been separated. on that... we both agree. but that is the past and a warrior should look to the future. and in the future you should not be burdened by my dishonor. you are not a burden. i have never understood you, worf. but i do know this. in your own way... and you will be an honorable man again... but not as my brother. how long will the procedure take? wiping his memory will be relatively simple-- say, an hour-- but changing his genetic coding combined with surgically alter

the suliban have been staging attacks within the klingon empire making it appear that one faction is attacking another. klaang was bringing proof of this to his high council. why would the suliban want that? the cabal doesn't make decisions on its own. they're simply soldiers fighting a temporal cold war. temporal? you've lost me. they're taking orders from the distant future. what? we can help you find klaang but we don't have a starship. where's your vessel? trip. find klaang. where's the pod? over here. no, it's this way. come on. lieutenant reed, this is archer. come in. (staticky transmissions) we're on the roof. you need to get up here... 've been trying to reach you, captain. we're back in the shuttle. ask him where they are. the storm's getting worse. captain, what's your location? the weather is definitely... (staticky transmission) great! like i said, it's back there. i've never seen lightning in a snowstorm before. the storm's kicking up too much interference. i can't isolate human bio-signs. they could be anywhere in the complex. (knocking) i found her. (knocking continue

sarcasm aside, captain, the last thing your people need is to make an enemy of the klingon empire. ely be facing a squadron of warbirds by the end of the week. corpse? is he dead? excuse me. is this man dead? his auaunomic system was disrupted by the blast but his redundant neural function... is he going to die? not necessarily. let me get this straight. you're going to disconnect this man from life-support live. now, where's the logic in that? klangs culture finds honor in death, if they saw him like this h hd be disgraced. they're a warrior race, they dream of dying in battle if you understood the complexities of interstellar diplomacy so thats your diplomatic solution? to do what they tell you pull the p pg? your metaphor is crude... but accurate. we may be crude, but we're not murdrders. you're not going to let them do this, are you? mmediately. admiral? we m m need to defer to their judgment. we've been deferring to their judgment for a hundred years. john... how much longer? until you've proven you're ready. ready to what? to look beyond your provincial attitudes and your volatil

well, you're wanted in the klingon empire, the orion syndicate. i don't know. i would imagine such a man would have a more robust appetite. with all those people after me, i need to stay quick on my feet. ( chuckling ): yes. you said you had something important to discuss wititus. it's poor custom to discuss business before entertainment. if the food ur hunger... what do you think? i can't think. captain? i'd have to agree with my tactical officer. i think she likes you. her name is navaar. she's the most experienced of the three. they're sisters. i purchased them at a trading post incredible, aren't they? they can make you forget most of your troubles. of course, creatures such as these come with troubles of their own. women are ththsame throughout the galaxy, aren't they? music stops ) now we can talk business. he claims he's discovered a planet with large deposits of magnesite-- enough to build a thousand warp reactors. and that's just what why would he divulge this information? he doesn't have the infrastructure to get the magnesite out of the ground. so he

or the romulans or the klingons or the dominion? these empires look at the federation and they see a prize-- a prize that we have forgotten how to protect mr. fullerton has quite a flair for the dramatic. does hereallybelieve that? i think he does. ...and re-embrace the kind of hard work that built the federation in the first place or we can lie here napping in the sun until we wake up with jem'hadar guns to our heads. the choice is ours. heaven help us if we make the wrong one. bashir: what are you talking about? worf, this sounds like nonsense. i'm merely observing that the klingons would never have attacked had they not believed the federation vulnerable. even now, since the changeling was discovered on the klingon high council most of my people continue to call for war because they think they can win. none of this has anything to do with risa. you cannot be certain of that. all i know is i've spent lifetimes julian? oh,thereyou are. i am so glad we came here. i'm having the most wonderful time. i told you this was just what we n

nonlethal skills are not valued in the empire. they are among my deputies. if your brother is going to be a member of my detachment he'll have to make some adjustments in his thinking. he will. you're certain of that? i would not be asking you to consider him if i were not. i can appreciate how difficult it must be for you to be asking for a favor, especially from me. very well. have kurn report here tomorrow morning. i am indebted to you. yes, you are. and mr. worf? this container is not on your manifest. it must be a clerical error. i apologize. open it. this is a message from starfleet command he's been on the job six hours he's only killed four boslics so far. hmm. kira's right. you do need a sense of humor. he's quite good, actually. a little stern, but he never steps over the line. i'm finding him to be a pleasant surprise. i am... gratified to hear that. i'm sure you are. (loudly): well, thanks for the report, commander. i'll give it my immediate attention. brother. kurn. i hate this uniform. i understand. the transition will probably be difficult for
