Honor is satisfied!

A warrior from the Ketha lowlands. "Great men do not seek power, they have power thrust upon them." Qapla'!

I love Nog. He is Very Dear. He brought me home to my Boy, when I had been away for many months.

Persons like Nog live forever in our love.

You up for Fuck/Marry/Kill ?

I never back down from a challenge, and this hypothetical is certainly amusing! I would prefer it if the options are not too dishonorable, but I understand the choice in selecting candidates is up to the discretion of the asker.

[martok-suggestion]

Exhibit a sufficient amount of aggression.

[martok-suggestion]

I have reached the astounding milestone of 100 followers on subspace! The honor is stunning. When Kahless himself started only with one, it truly awes a humble warrior like myself to have achieved this.

[martok-suggestion]

Try different varieties of bloodwine to find the best for you!

[martok-suggestion]

Remember the fallen warriors, but do not confuse celebrating their memories with needing to praise ignoble wars or corrupt leaders!

[martok-suggestion]

Explore an honorable historical reenactment in the holosuite! The 23rd century is always an interesting era to attempt.

[martok-suggestion]

Be like the bravest of warriors! Though fear may not be removed completely from life, one can triumph on the battlefield against it by facing it.

[martok-suggestion]

Reflect on how you can become more honorable toward others and yourself!

[martok-suggestion]

Remember, an honorable warrior never harms someone begging for mercy. The strong must protect the weak, or grant them clemency if they were enemies.

[martok-suggestion]

Appreciate your faithful targ every day, however mangy a beast!

[martok-suggestion]

Sharpen your bat’leth every night!

If you wait until morning, you might not have time to prepare it for when you first need it in the day.

You look sharp, Mr. Spock! I love the hat.

Here’s one of my particular favourites:

I’d like to tag @worf–suggestion , @rom-suggestion , @martok-suggestion , @alexander–suggestions and @morn-suggestion – but only those five,  because I do like to use a light hand with my tags.

[martok-suggestion]

I cannot decide between these two options, each with one of my friends and comrades in the holo image as well. The first is when my brother in arms and I were proudly aboard the bow of the Rotarran to go into battle.

The latter is my attempt to stifle my laughter at the good-natured teasing of the doctor, as he adapts his bedside nature to be more appropriate for a Klingon warrior instead of the mollycoddling Federation doctors too often tend towards.

Both the laughter and pride in my vessel are very important emotions to me!

I do not know who has yet to complete this challenge, but I shall tag @cretak-suggestion, @ikat-ika-suggestion, @omet-iklan-suggestion, @molly-suggestion, and @klingonchefsuggestions in assuming they have not!

Some traditional beliefs say that a life with an impairment or disability is inferior or even not worth living. Do not listen; they are misguided. A Klingon warrior can live a noble, honorable life in any circumstances - lacking an eye or so will not change that.

[jadzia-suggestions]

Well said, General, and something many Klingon warriors need to be reminded of. I have borne witness to dishonourable words spoken of those who valiantly serve the Empire with physical impairments, many of them great heroes. We can all reject cultural traditions that are misguided, to move towards a more glorious future for all. Qapla’!

When his godson was dying, Curzon was told a tale by Mara, wife of Kang. He carried it with him ‘til the end of his life, though I’m sad to say he wasn’t able to take as much comfort from it as I wish he had, especially at the last.

There is a story about a Klingon cleric who offered a human officer a choice between two futures: one in which all life might be destroyed, but his own would end in healthful old age; and one in which he might save all life, but himself suffer what Klingons consider a fate worse than death. The human refused the easy path, saying that the true worst fate would be to compromise what made him himself — service, sacrifice, compassion, and love — and claim that his own able body was worth more than the lives of billions. He chose the second future, the disability, in order to save all life. He chose honourably. He chose rightly. And, it is said, he lived richly with his disability… though Klingon lore does not remember how.

It’s important to remember that there is always a way to live honourably and well, whatever your physical circumstances. The Klingon, or human, heart transcends all.

[martok-suggestion]

Thank you for your words, Jadzia! And your tale. I do not know if I have heard of this story, but I suppose it is not surprising that such an event occurred. Klingon attitudes on such matters clearly affect other species in addition to our own, and it seems that human had a better grasp of honor and selflessness than the Klingon in that instance.

I am not entirely surprised either that this story is less discussed among Klingons than myths like that of the One-Eyed Giant or the Broken Bat’leth parable. Many times, people would rather laugh at figures in legend who were  Truly being proud of being a Klingon necessitates recognizing where we have gone wrong in our history, and how to lead our people to improve. I can look at those insidious attitudes and acknowledge where they were without honor. This is another battle to fight that makes one more of a warrior, not less.

Do Klingons have an intelligence service like the Tal Shiar or the Obsidian Order?

Such secrecy is dishonorable! We have nothing like the Tal Shiar or Obsidian Order.

The Klingon Defense Forces do naturally have an Intelligence division, but the cloak-and-dagger matters are very different, and it is noble in both intentions and practice.

I, of course, cannot say much more about our inner machinations without a grievous security lapse when subspace is so public, but suffice to say, Klingons engage in intelligence operations in a very different way from other powers.

[cretak-suggestion-deactivated20]

There was, of course, the Arne Darvin fiasco, on K-7 with the tribbles. But I doubt that Klingons would like to discuss it that much.

[martok-suggestion]

Yes, if you look at several centuries of our history, you will see a small number incidents of less-than-honorable behavior. That is unfortunately present across aspects of the Empire, with ignoble Chancellors and High Council members who violate the spirit of our people. Such practices are not the standard practice for the Klingons like they are for the Romulans or Cardassians.

To answer your question in the tags of “#What is the Klingon intelligence service called?” the answer is that the KDF division is simply known as “Klingon Intelligence”. We see no need for another name.
