through the wall no sir he's ignoring what other explanation is
that that seemed after hailing him for three days he could have had a minute to
talk to you sir yes lieutenant I believe I know why our messages are not being
answered Garin has been rewriting Klingon history
rewriting history yes he is claiming that it was his
courage his genius that brought an end to the Civil War I see in the new
version there is no mention made of the Federation's help in his rise to power
if wharfs right then our arrival would be an uncomfortable reminder of the
facts but he can take all the credit he once I don't care but I do need a ship
but if Galan won't talk to me get me somebody who will somebody have a High
Council k'tau perhaps yes sir captain I have a visual identification

far-left figure and compare ma'am paddock one question answered Ivanova
he has been in public service since he was a young man the senator for nine
decades he is considered a man of the people he sponsored many reforms
reportedly Romulan leadership considers him to be somewhat of a radical because
he has been an advocate of peace throughout his career I can see why

than on the floor the wrong Island Senate the district he represents is
called the Crockett insegment he maintains a dwelling there Thank You Mr.
Data there is more sir I have taken the liberty of expanding the parameters

the quadrant how would it benefit the Klingon Empire
I'm sure Gowron will ask the benefit to the Klingon Empire would be our

is unable to provide us with a ship then I am sure there are others in the
Klingon Empire who would be willing to help me and then
they would have our gratitude

prospering so well a tribute to his school leadership
