[Chang's reaction to his return to the barge was subdued, particularly given that he was a Klingon. He stood stock-solid for a few moments, until K'Nera brushed up against him, clearly confused.
He looked down at her before moving briskly towards his room, the panther close on his tail. Only upon entering his room did he permit the growl that had slowly been building loose into a roar.
The next he knew he was leaning against the cool plating that served as a wall in his quarters, his hands bloodied, panting.
He found a seat, grabbed an old bottle of blood wine and uncorked it. K'Nera, brave creature that she was, sat up next to him, gnawing slightly on his free hand. The bond they had soothed him some.]

So what are you going to do? You don't need to admit to us any of what you owe, but you can't face them without knowing the full implications of what you've done.
[He remembers how the CES would give him Brandenburg-Tor out whenever he went into it. He half wonders if he should request a change in Change's room to the Chancellor's quarters]

Her anger spilled out like an untamed beast because of her self-loathing and misunderstanding of herself. [He's aggrieved by how she was snatched away before he could help her.]
The implications of what I succeeded at pales in comparison when you realise she could not have been the only child to suffer so.
If Gorkon had lived, would he have spared these children? Hmm? Tell me how the Empire would have been better if I had not acted. Is keeping my honour unblemished worth it? My friend's life? My own?

She might have been. But he was dead for that. He didn't have the opportunity to stand for his Empire. Even if Azetbur succeeded him. If she was what you say, I doubt she would have wanted a woman of her people to feel that way.

Whether or not what you did was necessary, you still had your friend murdered. You tried to maintain the Empire as it was through dishonor. And you know that you acted in dishonor, and that your honorable friend died in vain.

It makes you little more than a thief, no matter how noble the reasons.
Re: Spam
Date: 4/7/12 07:55 pm (UTC)From:His rights were not more important than the Empire and that is why I stand by it. Not because I dismiss his rights, but because I cannot place his before the fate of the Empire.
Thief, traitor, conspirator, honourless cur. Changes nothing, certainly not my pride.

Whether it's by a healer or simply having them wrapped.] That coupled with the fact you accomplished nothing will suffice as a punishment rather than any time in Zero.
