Blood Reign O ' er Me Summary . Kahnrah and K ' ahlynn are on the steps of the Museum of Military Triumph and Conquest when they meet with Morglar , a Klingon Captain of a starship , who currently has three months left of his cycle as Overseer of the Museum . Kahnrah tells him of the explosion at Praxis and the decision he is faced with . Morglar comments that he has had experience with Human s before stating " " if sinking a blade into Human flesh can be called firsthand , then yes , I ' m as much an expert as any Klingon . " " He begins to reminisce about when he served as the security officer aboard the " Voh ' Tahk " under Kang seventeen years earlier . They were returning from a " bat ' leth " competition on Munjeb III when they received a distress call from the " Blortlh " , another competitor at the tournament . When they arrive at the source of the signal , the ship is nowhere to be found and appears to have been destroyed by a Federation starship . As the Klingon vessel prepares to attack the starship , its warp core is breached , obviously the result of an attack . Radiation floods the ship and forty of the four hundred crew members are able to make it to the command pod with its heavier shielding . Kang ascertains that James T . Kirk is commanding the enemy vessel , stating " " I should have known ! " " He orders Fron ' Chak , his transporter chief , to beam them to the planet ' s surface as his last duty before he dies of radiation exposure . When they arrive on the planet ' s surface , they confront the crew of the Federation vessel and Kang claims their ship for his own . Unfortunately , when they beam up to the ship , they are beamed up separately from Kirk and his Vulcan first officer , Spock , and easily disarmed . The Humans beamed over the other survivors from the " Voh ' Tahk " before destroying the ship . Shortly after , Kirk came and punched Kang , accusing him of sabotaging the ship , stranding hundreds of his crew on the planet below . Regular objects about the room were then replaced by swords . Even the phaser s of the " Enterprise " crew were replaced with them . After a brief battle , Kang heads toward the engineering area , while Morglar and two of his security team , Jurva and Woroth explore the rest of the ship . They discover a conservatory where Woroth ' s arm is bitten by a plant before Jurva slices the plant in two . As they exit the room , they come across several Federation officers . After a brief skirmish , the Federation crew are left dead , but so is Woroth . Now two , Jurva and Morglar continue to seek the armory . As they continue to search , they come across groups of Humans , some seeming familiar , but manage to kill them or drive them off each time . Suddenly Kirk ' s voice comes across the intercom , " " this is Captain Kirk . A " truce " is ordered . The fighting is " over " . Lay down your weapons . " " Morglar writes it off as lies until Kang ' s voice follows , " ' this is Kang . Cease hostilities . " Disarm " . " The Klingons and Humans all gather together and share food , drink , and stories . Morglar is surprised to discover Woroth alive and uninjured . Kirk and Kang explain what occurred , as an alien creature was forcing them to fight and feeding off of their hatred of each other . Morglar sees a Human he fought and compliments him on his ability , and the Human responds that he is honored with the compliment . Morglar finishes his story , telling them that he faced Humans again on several occasions after , and while they were still his enemies , he " " no longer " hated " them blindly " " , pointing out that it is much easier to hate a race you ' ve never met . He encourages Kahnrah to ask the Humans for help and heads back to work . K ' ahlynn expresses surprise that she ' d never heard the story before and her grandfather points out that the Klingon High Council chooses which stories are archived , and which are forgotten . With that done , he tells her that he must prepare to go to the council to cast his vote to ask the Humans for help . Memorable quotes . " " You look well for a man who allowed a Romulan to walk off with his arm ! " " " " Paah ! There were only five of the motherless curs facing me , so to even the odds , I tore off the arm myself and " beat " them with it ! " " " " That was the work of the alien creature . It was intent on keeping us " alive " and fighting , so it could feed on our " hate " . " " " " So the alien merely vanished when you stopped the fighting ? " " " " Indeed , but not at first ! We had to coax it on its way with some good spirits , Eh , Kirk ? " " " " Apparently the sound of a Klingon " laughing " was enough to drive out even the unknown . . . " " " " I ' ll say this for you Kirk – You may be small and mealy like a Human , but you just might have the spine of a Klingon ! Any Human crazy enough to beam into a pack of Klingon warriors armed only with his tongue and his fists is either foolhardy or brave indeed . " " " " You fought well . " " " " For a Human ? " " " " No . " You " fought " well " . " " " Thank you . Your words honor me . " " " " It is much easier to hate a race you ' ve never met . But the Humans fought as hard as we did that day . To save us both , they lowered their weapons and convinced us to do the same . What ' s to say that they would not extend a hand now , if only we could have the courage to do so first ? " "
