Storyline
Announcement
The missing Chancellor Martok is being held hostage not in another place, but in another time. Travel back in time to rescue Martok without disrupting the events of the past, and discover his captors’ identity. Back in the present, he asks you to stop a plot that threatens not only the stability of the Empire, but also the life of Emperor Kahless himself. Join Dahar Master Kang and the most legendary of all Klingons in facing the would-be assassins! [3]
Prologue
- Klingon Torres: "Klingon Intelligence has news about Chancellor Martok's disappearance. They've found chroniton readings near where he disappeared that prove that someone–or some... thing–has taken him to the 22nd century."
- Klingon Torres: "There is a temporal anomaly that can take you to the right time and place, near the Qu'Vat Colony. If we're too late, Martok at least deserves a warrior's farewell. But if he's alive, he must be freed. Chancellor or not, no warrior should be caged up like an animal."
- Klingon Torres: "My people need answers, Captain. Find the Chancellor and tell us whether to rescue him or avenge him. And step carefully. Where you're going, our two peoples aren't as friendly as we are now. Any changes to the timeline, and we might be enemies again when you return."
Intermezzo
- Martok: "Those cowards thought they could break me, warp my mind, but a warrior never surrenders when there are still enemies to defeat. I thank you, Captain, for bringing me out of that wretched cell. I only wish I had not needed your assistance."
- Martok: "I'm afraid this is only the beginning of our worries, though. Some of my captors were Klingon traitors, but it was the Romulans who organized my... disappearance. Taking me and attempting to bend me to their will was not enough. They plan to attack Emperor Kahless himself!"
- Dahar Master Kang: "Martok's absence has already shaken the Empire. If these assassins slay Kahless the Unforgettable, the shock of it will tear our people apart. Kahless must be protected, at any cost.
- choice A
- Captain: "If Kahless is as mighty a warrior as your legends claim, he's in no danger."
- Dahar Master Kang: "He was, Captain, but the Kahless who walks among us is not the same man who once shaped an Empire. This clone may have his memories and his face, but he is weak. Yet if he falls, the heart of the Empire falls with him."
- choice B
- Captain: "Why would the Romulans use Klingons against you, Martok?"
- Martok: "Not everyone in the Empire wanted to bow to a chancellor born of common blood. I've always had enemies, though I never thought they'd stoop to collaborating with the Romulans for revenge. They've dishonored themselves and our people with their treachery."
- choice C
- Captain: "The Romulans should pay for interfering with the Klingon Empire."
- Martok: "They will, I promise you. But no matter how much the Romulans have to answer for, revenge can wait. Kahless's safety cannot."
- Dahar Master Kang: "We must be ready for these assassins when they arrive, and so must Emperor Kahless. I will accompany you to speak with him. Perhaps together, a Dahar Master and a Starfleet captain can keep him safe."
Epilogue
- Dahar Master Kang: "You are a formidable warrior, Captain. Seeing how our enemies fared makes me glad to be on your side. In my youth, I might have demanded those Romulans' heads, but age tempers the thirst for battle with wisdom. They are more use to us alive."
- Klingon Torres: "Chancellor Martok and I will find out who else is involved in their plot against our people–I swear it. But while we question them, Captain, you should say your farewells to the emperor. It seems you've made an impression on him. That's not an easy thing to do."
- Kahless the Unforgettable: "Seeing such chaos in the Empire, I have wondered what will become of my people. I questioned whether we still had the warrior spirit of old. Today, I know that that spirit lives on–in us, and in our allies. Thank you, Captain, for restoring a lost emperor's faith."
