Alan Oppenheimer: Koroth

Quotes 

• [Worf has suggested that Kahless be made Emperor and spiritual leader of the Klingon world] 

  Koroth : The title is meaningless without the power to back it up!

  Lieutenant Worf : Real power comes from within the heart.

• Koroth : What is the story of The Promise, Worf?

  Lieutenant Worf : When Kahless had united our people and gave them the laws of honor, he saw that his work was done, so one night he gathered his belongings and departed for the edge of the city to say goodbye.

  Koroth : The people wept. They did not want him to go.

  Lieutenant Worf : Then Kahless said: "You are Klingons. You need no one but yourselves. I will go now to Sto-vo-kor, but I promise, one day I will return." Then Kahless pointed to a star in the sky and said: "Look for me there, on that point of light."

• Koroth : So, here we are - on a world circling that distant point of light. It has been fifteen centuries since he made that promise, and still we wait. What are ten days in the life of one Klingon compared to that? Is the son of Mogh really so easily discouraged? You came to us seeking answers, but this is a place of questions. Open your heart to Kahless. Ask him your questions. Let him speak to you with your mind unclouded by doubt or hesitation. Only then can you find what you are looking for. If you cannot do that... then perhaps you should return to your starship.
