![]() | Torres and Tuvok meet for a meditation session. Tuvok explains that the bloody artefact was her Klingon subconscious asserting itself. He defers the meditation session for a different exercise.
Tuvok: "Feel the weight of the bat'leth in your hands. Describe the first thought that enters your mind." Torres: "It's a clumsy weapon, overstated, like everything else Klingon." Tuvok: "You can't see the elegance of its design, because of your hatred." Tuvok demonstrates the skill of a bat'leth master and draws her blood. Tuvok: "Listen to yourself whine like a Ferengi. ... You're not worthy of the blood in your veins. A true Klingon would try to kill me where I stand! ... This exercise is over. You are dismissed, Lieutenant, and take your dishonour with you." Pictured: Tuvok skilfully twirls the bat'leth. |
