The USS Relentless, a battle-hardened cruiser entered orbit of the Klingon Homeworld, Qo'noS. Its commander, a Fleet Admiral Faed Vart, beams down into the Great Hall with his four elite bodyguards.
The High Council grants the four men and woman team admission. All five soldiers have served the Federation well and gained high honours with the Klingon Empire. The Klingons have come to respect Faed Vart and his elite strike team in battle.

Faed Vart approaches the Council, his scarred Bajoran face reveals that the news he has to deliver was sombre. He turns to face the chambers and sends a signal to the Relentless. Forty barrels of bloodwine is beamed in.

The audience is confused. What show is this? The Chancellor asks.

Faed Vart begins to sing.

The song ends and the Council falls silent.

Faed opens a barrel of bloodwine and takes a mug and helps himself to a drink. He raises the mug to the Council and shouts 'Qapla'!' "The bloodwine is the finest I could buy! 2375! A damned good year if you ask me. Let us drink of this day and sing songs of Kahless the Unforgettable! Long live the Empire! Long Live the Federation! Death to our enemies! It was a good day for him to die and die well did Kahless!"


Faed produces a portable holoemitter. A hologram appears, showing Kahless wounding T'Ket in battle.

After a moment of silence, the council cheers and helps themselves to the bloodwine.

    The English translation of the song. Heh... wrote it for the separate post so it wouldn't take from the immersion. There were words I wanted to use, but the translator didn't have one.


    My crew and I
    We went to the world
    of the false gods

    There we met Kahless! The forever remembered
    Together we battled the false gods
    Together we killed many

    Then we found out
    the highest of false gods
    lay in wait for us

    Kahless! The forever remembered
    He stepped forth
    and did battle with T'ket

    All day, they fought
    Neither one wounded the other
    My crew and I killed many followers

    Kahless! The forever remembered
    We gave him a weapon to weaken T'Ket
    T'ket fell, an arm removed

    My crew and I fought to get to his side
    as T'ket lay wounded
    Her treachery soon to come

    Kahless! The forever remembered
    died in battle
    Sto-vo-Kor! Prepare for the Great One

    Now we see
    the false gods can be hurt
    and thus be killed

    Kahless! The forever remembered!
    We raise our cups in honour
    Glory to Kahless! The forever remembered!

    Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.

    I dare you to do better.

    just grab a translator and sing!

    It may be butchered, but that's not the point! the point? MORE BLOODWINE!

    My Rihannsu is a little rusty so I am afraid it will have to be in English.

    To the lair of the Demon we flew
    There to meet QeylIss! Mightiest of warriors!
    Honor in plenty he had.
    Enough for all and then some.

    QeylIss sang of battle to come
    Your day of atonement is at hand, Demon!
    Face me and at least die an honorable death
    Far more than you deserve and then some.

    Demons in plenty we slew
    QeylIss? Everything the legends said he was.
    T'Ket fought to a standstill and nearly dead
    We aided the Emperor and then some.

    Unhappy Fate then did turn on QeylIss.
    He fought then died in true tlh'Ingan fashion.
    The Declared shall remember this day
    For all time and then some.

    Hear me, T'Ket! I am T'Cael of Mol'Rihan!
    Though you won this day, all is lost for you.
    I place my House in blood feud with your kind.
    For all of time and then some.

    QeylIss The Unforgettable.
    A warrior's warrior.
    He paid in blood the full price.
    So others might breathe free and then some.
    A six year old boy and his starship. Living the dream.

    I WILL! Bathl SuvwI', from the House of Campbell.
    Dahar Master of "Raj chenmolHol Qolqos".

    Bring forth song with a multitude of Klingon voices so that I may hear with mine own ears what a true song of bravery, courage, honor of all Klingons greatest Emperor, sounds like. I wish to join all in such a honor!

    I wonder if the Emperor had his own personal choir

    Emperor Kahless
    He died in Klingon manner:
    Really pointlessly
    "Great War! / And I cannot take more! / Great tour! / I keep on marching on / I play the great score / There will be no encore / Great War! / The War to End All Wars"

    how disgraceful you are! We shall sing songs of how you were slain for disrespecting an honourable man while you were surrounded by the High Council as you delivered the news!

    Where is the verse about him being a dumb TRIBBLE and talking too much? He could have just killed the glowing guy, but NOOOOOO, let's talk some more before the finishing blow!
    Have you tried the new forum on your phone?

    Dude. Kill the TRIBBLE who vaporizes people with a wave of his hands first, preferably from several tens of meters away with a ******n rocket launcher, then monologue. How fitting that a mere figurehead for the High Council should be the latest in a long line of Klingons who died because they were too busy babbling about honor to bloody think.
