Glory is won in different ways, General. However, I agree that a true warrior never retires.

There is much our peoples share in common, but that is a discussion for another time. I had best finish preparing your defense.

*He looked at the chronometer.*

Yes, the trial should be begin in an hour. I have no more questions, I believe. Do not despair, Admiral; I will do my best to defend you. I only hope it will be enough.

I assure you, Admiral, he is. He is the protege of Chancellor L'Rell.

I hope so as well. Yes, there has been.

"Time changes all things and cultivates even in herself an appreciation of irony." However, we may not seek vengeance. The Chancellor desires peace and reconciliation with the Federation, and I do as well.

You did as you were ordered. Yes, it was a war crime, but it was not your idea to commit it. Perhaps you did us a favor in the long run, though, since Praxis was terraformed by the Genesis Device and it will not explode as we later found it would have in the natural course of events.

I will try to get your sentence reduced to life on Rura Penthe. I cannot promise, but I will try. It will be a difficult life, but at least you would still be alive.

Good day, General. We will meet again at the trial.

That may help, but I am unsure if it will as most in the courtroom will be calling for your head. Klingons are...quite rowdy, to say the least, when a cause they support fails.

Indeed.

I do not know either, Admiral; that is what we must discuss. The most likely verdict is guilty, so the primary battle will lie in determining your sentence. General Chang will be demanding your execution.

I am perfectly confident you will, and I will do my best to do the same.

As do I. It is not often one finds himself matched against such an honorable and august warrior as yourself.

I will, as I always do for a client. I wish you good luck as well, General.

Everyone has the right to a proper defense, General. I always conduct myself with honor in the courtroom, as do you.

Indeed I am, General. We shall see.
