DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rules of... " REV. 1/26/96 - ACT ONE
24 CONTINUED:
CH'POK
I have studied Commander Worf's
report, along with the Defiant's
sensor logs, and the reports of
the other officers on the bridge.
(beat)
And I believe every word of it.
It is a point of pride for the
Federation that Starfleet officers
never lie or commit fraud. So I
will accept the facts of this case
as they have been submitted.
T'Lara raises an eyebrow in surprise. Worf and Sisko
exchange a look.
SISKO
Admiral, if there are no facts in
dispute, then this hearing would
appear to be at an end.
CH'POK
We Klingons, are not concerned
with matters of fact and
circumstance... what matters to
us is what was in Worf's heart
when he gave the order to fire.
Was he just a Starfleet officer
doing his duty? Or was he a
Klingon warrior reveling in the
battle?
(beat)
That is why I am here. Because if
he was a Klingon lost in the
bloodlust of combat, then only we
can judge him... not you.
SISKO
We can't put a man's heart on
trial. It's a subjective issue
that cannot be reasoned in a court
of law. I ask that the advocate
be limited to arguing the evidence
in this case.
CH'POK
Someone told me that this was a
search for the truth. Should we
not follow that search wherever it
takes us?
