KAHLESS the Clone | Star Trek Online Story Series E80

[@cytorakdemon]

Kahless: "I hear your ship is named after a warrior, Captain?" Janus Sym: "Do you know the story of Achilles, Kahless? He was a warrior from Earth's ancient history, he was an indestructible warrior known throughout the world. One day before a great battle, a priestess approached him with two visions of his future. If he went home, he would find a beautiful wife, raise a family, and die peacefully in his bed and forgotten by the world. But if he fought in the coming battle, his fatal weakness would be exposed and he would die, but his name would be made immortal and known throughout time." Kahless: "What did he choose?" Janus Sym: "Do you know the story of Achilles?" Kahless: "Ahahaha! Qapla, Achilles! May we all have the courage to make our names outlast the dust of our bones!"

That Starfleet rant on emotions and feelings needs to be made canon as soon as possible. I can so easily imagine the stereotypical Klingon scowl changing to annoyance and then heading towards a slight tinge of fear as you threaten them with something no warrior besides Worf has ever had to consider: *relationship counseling*.

[@christopherg2347]

Oh, Klingons do have Relationship counsels. They are the same people as for Life and Death Duels.

[@tiggergolah]

I must be part Klingon. I hate American TV shows that waste time with the characters talking about their feelings, especially in the middle of the freakin mission. Grow up, tighten up, shut your mouth, and get it done. Talk about your feelings on your own time, not mine. Sheesh.

He knew the alliance and empire needed to see one of them proven vulnerable, and it was worth his life. Every time T'ket shows up somewhere, nobody will forget she's just another one-armed angry warlord.

[@Corbomite_Meatballs]

Yeah, it didn't used to be there, and now in one of the signature battles it looks all jacked up. I'm sure it'll get fixed when all the lockboxes are magically opened in the game. *eyeroll*

[@ffnbbq]

I really wish Cryptic had had the time to do this sort of inspirational story-driven storytelling for the Klingons (and the one much earlier in the Starfleet storyline) in the earlier years of STO, because BOY were/are non-Starfleet factions barebones. At the same time, I feel like it would have been better to lift the DS9 storyline where Kahless's song came from: make this mission a victory, granted by his death that we can only speculate about. Like Worf said, if you believe in the legend, then there should be no doubt in your mind he went down fighting to the bitter end.

[@Corbomite_Meatballs]

Supposedly they've declared it the "Year of the Klingon" and are revamping storylines (i.e. removing content to improve the game) and updating things, and putting in a few new mishes. I haven't really heard much in-game what people think of them.

[@FusionArmorX]

There used to be so much more animation to the fight between Kahless and T'Ket.

[@occultatumquaestio5226]

6:50 ; Glad to see I was not the only one to notice the pet Targ, would be nice if more NPC pets were seen in story mission. I really think the STO devs should add more Earth dog breeds than just the two so far.

The knowledge of Omega is still supressed towards the public. As is the technology for Time Travel. And Spore-Hub drives. And Protomater. It is Star Treks Non-Proliferation agreement. However you *are* dealing with high clearance people, that were selected to deal with the situation. They propably all know of Omega. And Janeways stabilisation method. The Federation can trust the Klingons not to play around with Omega either.

[@XX-sp3tt]

I imagine more a few warriors who see Klingon Intelligence as a necessary evil, and how they warp the definition of honor to suit their mission statement... And yet they don't make me bristle like Section 31.

[@Corbomite_Meatballs]

Perhaps because they get their hands dirty, doing the work themselves, rather than by proxy, and are honest about it?

I'm curious if you have any plans on doing the KDF story lines. Kahless and the Sword feature in them as well. I've played through the unique Klingon episodes already, and I'd imagine you could probably blow through them pretty quick. If nothing else, it would give me a chance to catch up, since I'm still in the Delta Alliance.
