Alright, so maybe trying to reason with the Klingons wasn't the best course of action.

It usually isn't.

[Uhura, you're supposed to fight them and gain their respect, turning your animosity into a grudging admiration and occasional kind-of-sort-of truce. Did Starfleet teach you nothing?!]

[emboldened]

It bought us some time.

But hey, they're - Klingon. It's not like reasoning with them is really going to help matters much.

[uhurajustuhura]

Well, we wouldn't have lasted long either way if we had not had help.

[Uhura was still quite bad-ass, thank you very much.]

[uhurajustuhura]

I tried to appeal to their honorable side. I think I surprised them, anyway.

We wouldn't have lasted long either way if it hadn't been for Khan.

[emboldened]

You did great, in any case - probably the best case we had for getting out of there alive.

Yeah, thanks a lot for reminding me.

[uhurajustuhura]

Thank you, Captain.

Yeah, sorry about that. [She grows serious for a moment.] You know, Jim, I don't know if you compare yourself to him, but in the end, you were nothing like Khan. You're a good captain, and a good friend.
