I'll be interested to read it! One of my favorite scenes in DS9 was when Ezri straight up tells Worf "the Klingon Empire is dying, and I think it deserves to die."

Times have been tough for old-guard Klingons in UF lately, one imagines. There was the whole Klingon Republic thing, and if I recall correctly the Empire had to accept a number of reforms as a condition of reunion that moved it away from the whole "rule by the strongest and most brutal" thing Klingons are known for. And then Klayvor's attempt to undo all that in one fell swoop didn't precisely work out either.

And there she is! Thanks, Ben. Now I'm caught up.

(It can be tough to keep track of your cast. :)

Oh man, now I totally want to read about this guy, because I just love that breed of character.
