Kang paced back and forth. He stood in the hallway just outside the room with the mirror, Kirk, Spock, Mara, and Twilight were there as well. He finally stopped in front of Twilight, crossed his arms, and glared down at her. “Let me see if I have this right. In the reality this Sunset Shimmer resides in, the entirety of the Federation, the Empire, perhaps all of our galaxy, we are all fiction, there?”
Twilight met his stare. “I've seen the footage, Captain. I know how insane it sounds, believe me. I've recently had my own view on the difference between reality and fiction shaken.”
Kirk spread his arms out. “Kang, there's a speech from an old play that comes to mind. 'All the world's a stage, and– ”
Mara interrupted him. “Yes, yes. Kang and I know. 'And the people, merely players'. Act II, Scene VII from 'As You Like It'. We've seen the play many times, Kirk. It does apply here, even if it's quite cliched.”
Spock and Kirk looked to her. Spock arched an eyebrow. “I am rather... surprised that you two are familiar with the play, Mara.”
Kang chuckled. “Of course we are, Spock! You should come with us to the First City to see it.” He glanced to Mara. “After all, you've never experienced the Bard until you've heard it in the original Klingonese.”
Kirk and Spock looked to each other. “I'm sorry, what?” Kirk asked, leaning forward.
Twilight looked inside the door. “Okay, time to form the portal. Now, Sunset talked with Trixie about this, and they both promised to be on their best behavior. Still...” Her expression softened. “Please don't be too harsh on either of them, all right? They're trying to help and, well, you're all heroes to them.” With that, she walked into the room, stood in front of the mirror, and fired a beam from her horn at the crystal atop the mirror that connected Equestria to Canterlot High.
Kang's eyes followed Twilight. “It's still... unsettling, to learn one is fiction, even if it's in another reality.” He held up a hand. “Yes, yes. I've read the reports about the Terran Empire, and what happened near the Tholian Border with the Defiant.” He jabbed a finger at Kirk. “But it's one thing to read dry text, and another to experience it firsthand."
Any response was cut off as two ponies, one an alicorn, the other a unicorn, emerged from the mirror. Sunset Shimmer walked out first, once more wearing her Starfleet costume. The second one, Trixie, wore a blue long-sleeved shirt, black pants, and had a large grin on her face. Trixie's suitcase floated behind them, wrapped in the distinctive glow of Sunset's magic.
Trixie's eyes whipped back and forth. “That was a lot... smoother than I thought.” Her legs stumbled slightly, but she regained her balance quickly enough. Trixie twisted her head around and looked herself over. “Just like you said, Sunset. This is...” She held up a foreleg and looked it over, eyes stopping at the hoof. The smile fell away and her eyes watered.. “Oh, no!” She hung her head. “You were right, Sunset. I can't perform the Vulcan Salute!”
Everyone in the hall slowly looked to Spock, who merely stood there, eyebrows raised slightly.
Sunset patted Trixie on the shoulder. “Come on, Trixie. You and I both know that won't matter.” She looked over to Twilight and nodded slightly. “Twilight, good to see you again.” She craned her neck in the general direction of the door. “Are they...”
Trixie's ears swiveled about. She followed Sunset's line of sight and began walking in the direction of the door. “Are who... do you mean...” She suddenly floated a half-foot off the floor. Trixie let out a gasp and kicked at the air. “Hey, what gives?” She grunted and her head twitched. “How do you... activate this damned horn?”
Sunset floated her back down to the ground, but kept Trixie enveloped in her magic. “Okay, first off, how did you know you have a horn?”
Trixie rolled her eyes. “I can feel the thing sticking out of my forehead!” She glanced at Sunset. “What, you can't feel it, or those wings?”
Sunset blinked. “Okay, I concede that point. The second is, remember what we talked about? These are real people, not the actors and actress. We have to treat them with respect and not be overwhelming jerks.”
Trixie swallowed. “You're... right, Sunset. Trixie-I'm sorry about that.” She looked to Twilight, eyes widening. “Oh, Twi... Princess Sparkle?”
Twilight shook her head. “'Twilight' is fine, Trixie. We're all friends, after all.” She looked over her shoulder. “Captains? Mister Spock? Miss Mara? You can come in, now!”
The quartet entered the room. Sunset's cheeks colored almost immediately. Trixie, meanwhile, stood stock-still, eyes wide, and with a rather stunned expression on her face. Her mouth opened slightly, then slammed shut with an audible clack.
Kang looked from Trixie, to Sunset, then to Twilight. “I am Kang, son of K'naiah.”
Trixie thumped her chest with a hoof, then extended her foreleg. “ben law' batlhmey SoH, qeng, puqloD k'naiah, je tuqwIj!"
Kang reflexively returned the salute. “Glory to you... Trixie Lulamoon. And to you, Sunset Shimmer.” He looked back to Trixie. "Not bad, although there's still a hint of a Terran accent."
Trixie beamed.
Sunset glanced up at Kang. “Captain, sir. Twilight told me you and Mara would be told about this whole thing.” The suitcase floated forward and popped open. “If you're still a bit confused about it, don't feel bad. It's still a little murky to everyone else.” Her brow furrowed. “There's a line from a play. Perhaps you've heard of–”
Kang threw his arms up. “Are you earthers incapable of referencing anything other than Shakespeare?”
Sunset chuckled. “Fair enough, Captain. How about Lewis Carroll then: Are you the dreamer or merely a part of someone else’s dream?” Without waiting for a reply, she opened the suitcase and floated several cases out of it. “All right. Here we have the entirety of the Star Trek television series.” She sorted the cases into seven groups, then paused. Sunset blinked. “Trixie, that's your cue.” She looked to her right. “Trixie?”
Trixie stared up, her eyes locked on Spock. Her mouth was slightly open as she mumbled incoherently. With a start, she closed her eyes and shook her head. “Gyah, I... I am so sorry about that.” She looked at the cases. “Ah, these are...” She scrunched her face up in concentration. “They're divided up by series, and the movies. The Original and Animated series, those cover your five-year mission, Captain. Then there were six movies.” She paused, lowered her head, and bit her lip before continuing. “Then the Next Generation, which covers the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D.”
Kirk's right eyebrow shot up. “The 'D'?” He looked to Spock, grinning. “Quite the... honor, that they kept our registry number. Wouldn't you say?”
Spock nodded. “Agreed, Captain. It makes one wonder what we shall do in the future to earn such an honor.”
Trixie opened her mouth, but suddenly shoved a hoof into it. Her eyes bulged out slightly as she breathed around the hoof.
Everyone stared at her for a moment. Mara held out her tricorder and turned it on. “I'm reading an elevated heartbeat from her, as well as increased brain activity. Are you well, Miss Lulamoon?”
Sunset slowly extended a wing over Trixie. “Breathe in, breathe out. It's all right. Would you like me to continue?”
Kang grunted and crossed his arms over his chest. “To be treated in such a manner is so... undignified. Can she not control her impulses?”
Mara rolled her eyes. “And how would you react, dear husband, if you met Captain Koth of Battlecruiser Vengeance?”
Kang's countenance darkened, but he remained silent.
Trixie slowly removed her hoof. “Okay... Deep Space Nine is about a space station on the edge of Federation space. That's the one with Sisko, who you met during 'The Trouble with Tribbles'. Voyager is about a ship stranded in the Delta Quadrant, and Enterprise is about the NX-01.”
Kirk nodded. “Ah, Archer's ship. Required reading at the Academy.”
Kang's expression lightened slightly. “Wait... tribbles? And this was a mission the Enterprise was on?” At Trixie's nod, he stroked his beard. “I remember Koloth telling me about that, and that idiot spy fouling things up thanks to those damnable pests.” He shook his head, the smile falling away as quickly as it came. “Now they infest our food production worlds, and even with the glommer, we can barely keep up with exterminating them.”
Twilight's expression fell. “Oh, I'm so sorry to hear!” She rubbed her chin. “You know, we do know a thing or three about dealing with pests. If things work out, we could send some help your way.”
Kang leaned back slightly. “You would do this for us? What if negotiations do not work out?”
Twilight shrugged. “We'd still like to help. What are friends for?”
Kang stared at her, brow furrowed slightly.
Sunset, meanwhile, opened up one of the cases and gently extracted a silver disc from it. “Okay, here's the first disc. Disc one of Star Trek: the Original Series.” She turned it around and read off the episode titles. “Mister Spock, ready?”
Spock stepped forward and knelt down. He flipped his tricorder on and held its sensor wand up. “The tricorder is now ready to copy the data, Miss Shimmer.” He waved the wand over the disc while his eyes were glued to the small screen embedded in the tricorder. “This disc is finished, Miss Shimmer. The next one, please.”
Sunset floated the recorded disc back into the case and floated the next one up. She repeated the procedure, finishing the case rather quickly. “I must say, Mister Spock, that went quicker than I thought.”
Trixie nickered. “They may look like they were made in the 1960's, but that equipment's very advanced.” She glanced to Mara. “So... will you be recording any of this, too?” As everyone looked to her, she shrugged. “What?”
Kang nodded to her. “She has a point. I am glad to have been let known of this, but are we to have this information, too? Is there anything of value for the Empire?”
Sunset and Trixie exchanged a look. “Considering what's coming down the pipe, I think it'd be a good idea,” Trixie said.
Sunset looked up at Kang. “And there's other, more... personal stuff.” She sucked in a breath. “Kang, Mara, in the future... an albino Klingon pirate will kill your child, along with the children of Koloth, and Kor.”
Kang and Mara exchanged a look. Kang slowly shook his head. “We have no son.”
Kirk stepped to Kang's side. “Kang, I may be missing something here, but this is your... son! How can you dismiss him like that?”
Kang slowly looked to Kirk. “I spoke literally, Kirk. Mara and I have talked about it, but we have no children.” His expression changed to one of surprise, with more than a little shock. “A son? We'll have a son!” His mouth turned up in a wide grin. “A son, to carry on my name! A son...” He spun about and dropped to one knee in front of Sunset. “What do you two know about what he will do to our children?”
Sunset's gaze turned distant for a moment. “In 2290, you three will break up his power base, but fail to capture or kill him. In revenge, he'll infect your children with a genetic virus through you. His name is Qagh. A key component of the virus comes from Omega IV.” She sucked in a breath and slowly turned her head to her right. “Captain Kirk, I feel it appropriate to tell you, he'll try and infect Hikaru Sulu to strike at his future daughter Demora. Fortunately, he'll turn out to be immune to it, due to having been exposed to elements of it on Omega IV.” A book with the title 'Forged in Fire' floated out of the suitcase, along with another case. “A lot of information is here, along with an episode of Deep Space Nine.” The case opened and a disc detached itself from its holder.
Spock spoke up. “Captain, I believe it necessary to make all attempts to stop this 'Qagh' and safeguard Mister Sulu from any potential harm.”
Mara's face twisted in rage. Her free hand clenched, tight enough so that blood dribbled down the palm of her hand. She abruptly stood up. “I will find this albino, carve his heart out, and eat it in front of him as he dies!”
Kang placed a hand on Mara's shoulder. “No, Mara. We will carve his heart out together.”
Sunset slowly nodded. “That sounds–” Her head shot around to Twilight's direction. The princess' head was down slightly, eyes narrowed. “Ah, Twilight?”
Trixie cantered around to Twilight's side. She leaned in close. “Twilight, are you... all right? I know their reaction might seem a bit... extreme.”
Kang's face flushed. “Excuse me?”
Trixie continued. “This is their culture, though. And the Albino's threatening their family.”
Twilight's head slowly rose. “Yes?” She looked from Trixie to Sunset. “I fully understand their reactions. This albino threatens their future children because they dared to stop him being a pirate.” She paused in thought. “A few years ago, my brother was getting married to Princess Cadance. There were some... problems in the planning and preparation. Long story short, I thought Cadance was using Shiny for some nefarious purposes. It turns out the pony I thought was Cadance was an impostor–again, long story. But one I'll tell.” She sucked in a breath. “When I found Cadance–the real Cadance, I was fully ready to blow a hole in her head. Fortunately, she convinced me she was the real one, but I can still understand how they feel.”
Sunset stared at her for a long moment. “Wow, Twilight. That's... not exactly what I expected you to say.”
Twilight looked to her,winking. “I'm a little more open to other ways of thinking than you might think.” She looked back up at Kang and Mara. “No matter what, you've got friends here in Equestria that will help you and any future children you'll have. You have my word of honor on that.”
Kirk spoke up. “Kang, Mara... if there's any help I can offer, any at all, I too offer it. No one should... lose their child. Especially not like that.”
Trixie bit her lip, her cheeks puffing out. Sunset eyed her, but remained silent for the moment.
Kang slowly turned to fully face Kirk. He stared at the captain, expression as neutral as possible. “We would... not be averse to your aid, Captain. Not in a matter like this.”
Trixie's took a step forward. “Captain, you may keep my copy, if you need to. I don't know how long you or Mara would need to read through it, or how we'd be able to arrange it to get back to me. So please keep it, as a gift.” She looked to Sunset. “Could you, please? I don't trust myself not to hurl the book into their faces.”
Sunset's horn glowed, and the book floated over to Kang. He snatched it in midair and began rifling through the pages. “Can you read English?” she asked.
Kang snorted. “We do have universal translators, Sunset Shimmer.” He closed it and looked down at her. “But yes, I can read this.” He glanced to Kirk. “As a rather wise human once said, 'know your enemies'.”
Sunset looked to Trixie, who was still biting her lip. “Captain Kirk, first off, I believe it would be advisable for Mara to be able to copy the information on the discs. There's information there about the Empire, and I... do trust at least the two of them enough to be able to deal with the information properly.”
Kirk slowly nodded. “I... also trust Captain Kang in this regard, to... do the right thing.” He motioned to Mara. “I won't stop you.”
For the next several minutes, Mara and Spock waved their tricorder's sensor wands over the discs from Trixie's collections. After the last disc's information was copied, the two stood up. Spock flipped his tricorder flap closed and looked to Kirk. “Captain, with your permission, I shall prepare this information to be sent to Starfleet Command upon arrival on the Enterprise.”
Kirk rubbed his chin. “Yes, Mister Spock. However... make an additional copy, and keep that one... on board.” He half-smiled. “Just for safekeeping.”
Spock arched an eyebrow. “Understood, Captain.”
Kang activated his communicator. “Pride, prepare for transport.” He held the book up. “Thank you for this. Mara and I are in your debt.”
Kirk held a hand up. “Kang, I would like to read that book, too. After you're done with it. Sulu's life may be in... jeopardy as well. As well as the life of his daughter.”
Kang glanced up, eyes somewhat wide. He looked at the book, then to Kirk. “You shall have this in your hand before my ship leaves the Equus System. I swear that to you, Kirk.” He activated his communicator once more. “Energize.”
As the two Klingons transported away, Kirk knelt down. “Trixie, Sunset, I... thank you for this invaluable information. I'm not fully sure how it will be used, but rest assured. This won't be thrown or... filed away, to gather dust somewhere.”
Sunset stared at Kirk, eyes wide. “Thank you, Captain. I think I can speak for Trixie and myself when I say it means a lot to us to hear you say that.”
Trixie's head bobbed up and down. “Yes, yes! She does speak for me, Captain! I am so glad to help you and meet you and Mister Spock and I just want to tell you how awesome and cool you two are! I still remember the first time...” Her voice trailed off. She sniffed and wiped her eyes. “Trixie is sorry. That was... stupid of me to say.” She walked over to the mirror, head hung low and cheeks burning.
Sunset grinned sheepishly, her own face slightly blushed. “Sorry about that. Trixie really does look up to you, and to the entire crew. This is... kind of restrained compared to how she was on the other side of the mirror.” She walked over to Trixie, leaned in close, and draped a wing over her.
Kirk shook his head. “As I said before, Miss Shimmer, there's no apology necessary.” He smiled. “Better than hating us, at least.” He turned his head. “Don't you agree, Spock?”
Spock nodded to Kirk. “A logical outlook at it, Captain. One I agree with.”
Sunset looked to her right, and the mirror. “Maybe it's time we go back to our own reality? I think for the moment, we've done all we can.”
Trixie's head bobbed up and down slightly, but her eyes remained transfixed on the floor.
Kirk stood up. “Very well, Sunset. I do... thank you both, again, for doing this.”
Twilight's horn lit up as she reactivated the mirror. She hugged Sunset, and patted Trixie on the back. “Thanks for doing this, you two. Trixie?” She waited for Trixie's head to tilt up slightly before continuing. “My personal hero is a unicorn named Star Swirl the Bearded. I think if I met him in the flesh, I'd fanfilly over him even more than you.”
Trixie nickered. “Thank you, Twilight.” She glanced in Kirk and Spock's general direction. “I'll get you a copy of that book if I can. And... Mister Spock?”
Spock took a step forward. “Yes, Miss Lulamoon?”
Trixie sucked in a shuddery breath. “Some of the things from later installments of the franchise will be a bit... shocking to you, and to Captain Kirk, and to others.”
Spock slowly nodded. “I shall keep that in mind. Thank you.”
Sunset and Trixie walked through the vortex in the mirror, vanishing from Equestria. A half-second later, the vortex itself vanished, separating the realities once more.
Spock held his tricorder up. “Captain, when we return to the Enterprise, I shall begin an immediate analysis of this data.”
Kirk nodded. He looked down at Twilight, rubbing his chin. “Twilight... would it be possible for you to cross through the mirror without anyone on the other side... noticing your arrival?”
Twilight eyed him. “I suppose... but why?”
Kirk explained his idea. With each word, Twilight's expression brightened. “I'll do my best,” she said, smiling brightly.
Kirk unclipped his communicator from his belt and flipped it open. “Kirk to Enterprise, stand by to beam up landing party.” He bowed his head to Twilight. “By your leave?”
Twilight chuckled and returned the bow. “By my leave, Captain. Bye for now.”
Kirk smiled. “Thank you. Enterprise, Energize.”

I first heard it used in Past Sins.
Not much happened. You know, besides that the future has been irreversibly changed with the acquired knowledge. Or has it?
Also today was the day when there were two Trixies in one world. Treasure it!
The Department of Temporal Investigations is probably going to be really confused as to how all this future knowledge suddenly was made available and then really freaked out that all this future knowledge was suddenly uploaded.
Nice chapter.
I wonder how much the timeline will change with this information deluge or it will pull a Steins;Gate...
I confess that I expected Trixie react more strongly.
After hearing Twilight's story, Sunset probably is feeling *really* lucky about how things worked out at the Fall Formal Fiasco...
Really curious to see what Kirk and Twilight are planning...
um is discord Q? in this i mean....or a member of the q continuum ?
It is rather sad what that future knowledge will bring. Episodes like "Sarek" and the movie The Wrath of Khan. Hopefully they'll use it wisely.
Funny you should say that, Twi. Funny you should say that...
If you consider the Generalised Theory of Temporal Mechanics, then Kirk etc needed to recieve this information at this point in order for the information to be able to exist as such a coherent whole. the smaller the sequence the more likely it can occur randomly or with smaller temporal loops.
Still.
Genesis.
One person who might make VERY major use of indicators (Let us call them that since the further on in history, the less specifically accurate things will become) in the later series will be Admiral Uhura once she becomes head of Star Fleet Intelligence. I can see a few other Admirals getting investigated and get to have long sit-downs about their futures. Like Admiral Dougherty, Admiral Layton, and Admiral Eric Pressman
8675729
Agreed, they'll need more than just a simple "nerve tonic" to deal with this mess: their own distillery.
Always a pleasure to see this fic update. ^^
8675787
Read either chapter 1 or 2, you'll find a scene where Discord and Q are talking to eachother.
Excellent chapter.
*Finishes chapter; 'Next' button missing*
"NOOOOoooooo!"Khaaaaaaann!
Hm, it looks like Kirk and Kang are going to be working together for a bit soon. This should be fun and help build that trust Celestia is looking for. Now to wait and see where this goes.
8675739
Yeah, I know what you mean with Trixie. I've been a bit underwhelmed by those interactions in general which is really unfortunate since there's so much potential there.
8676822
I never said she won't eventually deserve it. But considering how much more Twilight had to do to get it and how much more Starlight has done right now, it is not right for Sunset to have wings at this point.
It's bad enough with SciTwi apparently being one now...😑😑😑😑 Because reasons.....😑😑😑😑 Because apparently what your alternate does in an alternate reality somehow applies to you.. 😑😑😑😑😑
well, there's still the 60-70 year gap between the original series and Next Generation, so it's not an entire cheat sheet; books would only get one so far. and there's the fact that some things need to happen. for example, without Voyager getting lost, they never would have come up for all those technologies and strategies for defending against the Borg (like the recovery of the Hansen's Multi-Adaptive Shielding, Janeway's hand in the creation of Ablative Armor generators and Transphasic Torpedoes), nor have such an impact on the cultures in the Delta Quadrant; the war between the Borg and the Undine (Species 8472) as an example. without the events of 'In The Pale Moonlight', the Romulans may never have joined the fight against the Dominion.
for all the bad that may come in the future, there was also some good to come out of it. and that's the thing; knowing what's going to happen, and letting it happen, for the 'greater good'. and, knowing which event is which; what you can change for the better, and what you can't. can any of them, honestly, handle that kind of power, that responsibility?
I never knew how much I wanted to see Trixie speak Klingon until now.
This should be a tremendous shake-up for the timeline. Should be fascinating to see the ripples from this one. And that's saying nothing of Twilight's mystery mission in the other world. Definitely looking forward to more.
I bet section 31 will have a field day with those discs when they get their copy.
I'm a little surprised there was no mention of David, seems at least as topical as Kang and Mara's son. That'll be covered on the DVD content since they sent the movies, so maybe it'll still come up.
But which version will Kirk remember about the scene after the bar fight where he's addressing the crewmen involved? The original Trouble With Tribbles? Or the one from Deep Space Nine?
Also, will Kirk try to head off the disaster that happened in Wrath of Khan by rescuing Khan and his people?
8677272 Section 31 just might be ended before this mission is over...
8677441
Will it?
I am sure Celestia can, and has, as well.
Also, you're going to start looking really weird... and then change again... and again... and fans will get PO'd as the new iterations keep retconning crap without any common sense.
Kang vows to destroy the hack frauds in glorious battle for honor and continuity.
It does make one question how much of the various incarnations of the show they can believe once it goes far beyond their exact time. Some of those may be parallel or alternate universes, given the clashes in continuity, and some may not exist at all. Heck, we already know the latest 3 movies are a completely different timeline for a fact.
I believe Dumbledor adequately explained the dangers of placing too much literal stock in prophecy, and how it becomes self-fulfilling only when adhered to.
8677420 Trixie, "So, like, David is gonna die on this self-destructing planet that was made when Khan blew up and a rogue Klingon captain who used to be Doc Brown decides to try and seize the secret of the Doomsday Genesis Torpedo."
Everybody and everypony blinks. Spock speaks up, "Captain, it would seem Miss Lulamoon has become overcome with hysteria and may require a hypospray of thorazine."
Something that springs to mind: Did Sunset and Trixie bring up the various Star Trek tie-in games ie. Star Trek Online?
8677650
No, they did not. Admittedly, this is because I've never played Star Trek: Online, and have no real intention to/knowledge of it.
8675729
That and I have to wonder what Daniels and former Captain Braxton's crew all have to think about all this in the 29th century
8677708
Huh. Okay then. I was kind of wondering. What about any of the other tie-in games, like Star Trek: Legacy or Bridge Commander?
8677945
It may well save Braxton's career as a Code Horseshoe note in his file just might be what prevents him from being sent on his 4th insertion.
Wait, why didn't they tell Kirk about his kid dying too?
8678066
The only Star Trek game I've ever played was one released for the original Nintendo. Star Trek 20th Anniversary, I believe the name was.
8678635
Because with Kang, it was a singularly important thing needed to convince Kirk and Kang both that this Federation centric stuff was anything Kang should or would care to see. For Kirk, that is why Spock was warned that certain things would be... sensitive. He'll find out but it was not necessary to put out in public.
Soooo... Not bringing up a Klingon killing Kirk's future son, huh? Might be for the best right now, but he's going to be pissed when he sees that movie.
8675787
Post TNG Q showed up to visit his old buddy at making mayhem Discord early on in the story because he knew something interesting was happening. He was the one who convinced Discord to take a part in events instead of sitting them out with the popcorn. What Discord is has not been revealed, but he apparently thinks the Q are less than imaginative about their naming habits.
Sorry it's taken me so long to read and reply to this. I've been very depressed lately...pushing through that tonight, though, no matter what.
I like that Trixie speaks Klingon.
Come on, Kirk, you know all about the D.
I don't even remotely regret that joke!
There's a great bit in the Klingon campaign in Star Trek Online when you go to a bat'leth tournament. It's fun to talk to the random NPCs because they all of them totally act like nerds concerning bat'leth warriors of note. "If Dahar Master Kang and Dahar Master Kor, both at their peak, were to fight in a bat'leth tournament, who do you think would win?"
Aww...
This is actually potentially dangerous, though. All of Star Trek is, necessarily, from a human persepctive and so condemns things that are okay from a Klingon perspective. As well, I wouldn't put it past the Klingons to watch what the Romulans do to them now and then - the battle at Narendra 3, the Khitomer massecer, the intervention/orchestration in the Klingon Civil War - and decide to nip the Romulan problem in the bud. At this point in time the Klingons are much more powerful than the Romulans.
Likewise, these discs will contain a lot of information that Starfleet might not want to leak out about secret projects and stuff.
Been reading this, due to Never The Final Word Vol 2. So good!
Twilight's
Can somepony please translate Trixie's Klingon?
As well as saving the sons of Kang and Kirk, one can also save the nephew of Scotty Preston from Khan. Preston died an hero because when all of the other cadets panic, he stayed at his post saved the Enterprise at the cost of his own life.
9078571
I don't speak Klingon but according to you https://tradukka.com/translate/en/tlh it translates as "years ago, the son of honor, carry you, and my family, and k'naiah!" so probably she's saying meeting him honors her.
Wow, a The Final Reflection reference. I really love how you've been using more than just the show(s) in your story.
I feel I should point out that none of the various Star Trek books are actually considered to be canon. They are only considered to be beta canon, which means that the shows and films are canon where the books are concerned, but not vice versa. I feel I should also point out that the nature of TAS as canon is debatable, as it has flip-flopped between canon and non-canon, and is at times ignored by the other shows and films.
10219228
Fair, but remember that there was never any mention of an "Equestria" in either alpha OR beta canon... so we're already not dealing with a straight canon world. "Beta canon" is still highly useful for the purposes they plan to implement, just as MLP comic continuity often shows up in otherwise "show canon" projects.
I trust the Federation, the Klingon empire not so mutch...
