We Come in Victory

  



They are coming. 

Atom by atom, 
They will coil around us 
and take all that we are. 

There is one way to confront this threat. 

By reuniting the 24 Warring Houses of Our Own Empire. 

We have forgotten The Unforgettable... 
The last to unify Our Tribes: Kahless

Together, under one creed... 
Remain Klingon! 

Remain Klingon! 

That is why we light our beacon this day. 

To assemble Our People. 

To lock arms against those whose fatal greeting is... 

"We come in Victory."




WORF: 
You never told me that your wife was opposed to this marriage.

MARTOK: 
Sirella is a Woman of Strong Convictions.
 
She believes that by bringing aliens into our families we risk losing Our Identity as Klingons.

WORF: 
That is a prejudiced, xenophobic view.

MARTOK: 
We are Klingons, Worf!
 
We don't embrace other cultures, 
we conquer them! 

If someone wishes to join us, they must honour our traditions and prove themselves worthy of wearing The Crest of A Great House.

WORF: 
Jadzia is worthy.

MARTOK: 
Of course she is. 
She is an honourable woman and a formidable warrior.


WORF: 
You should say that to Sirella.


MARTOK: 
That's not such a good idea. 

I don't want her to think that I'm 
interfering in her domain.

WORF: 
Perhaps I should speak with her. 
Coming from me, 
it would not seem like a challenge to her authority.

MARTOK: 
I wouldn't do that if I were you.

WORF: 
Why?

MARTOK: 
Well, the truth is....
She doesn't like you that much either.

WORF: 
Me.

MARTOK: 
Don't let that bother you -- 
I had every right to bring you into The Family 
and she's accepted the fact that there's nothing she can do about it.


WORF: 
How comforting.

MARTOK: 
Ha! And they say that you have no sense of humour!
