The connection was staticky, but it was stable. "Your performance was quite
acceptable, Captain," Ka'tek vestai-Kharas said casually.

"High praise, indeed," Lora said, smirking.

Ka'tek's answering smile was feral. "I especially appreciated your final
touch -- destroying both ships was a master stroke. The rebels were
probably not expecting something so practical from a Starfleet Captain."
Ka'tek leaned forward, still smiling. "Even better, the ship that I
sacrificed was the final ship listed as captured by the rebellion. All the
remaining ships are listed as either lost or destroyed."

Lora nodded. Any ships listed as being held by the rebels, even if they
were controlled by Ka'tek would be destroyed by Klingon patrols as they
crossed the border. No questions would be asked, no explanations accepted.
"If you don't mind," Lora said, "I'd like to get to the reason why I've been
trying to contact you."

Ka'tek nodded. "Your prisoners," he said simply.

"That's right," the Captain said. "We know a certain number of them are
yours, and others are rebels. We need a way to tell them apart."

"That's simple enough," Ka'tek said. "I will transmit personnel information
on all of my people to you." He leaned forward again. "However, I doubt
very much that you will find a way to induce the rebels to talk."

Lora shrugged. "We need a way through the mine field. I've got my crew
working on the situation, but if you have any suggestions, I'm listening."

Ka'tek affected a grim look. "It is only eight days to the date I must
appear in the Great Hall, Captain, and we are just over eight days away from
Qo'nos." He paused. "I once read the writings of one of Earth's generals.
He spoke of clearing a mine field by marching a division through it."
Ka'tek's expression was direct. "Extremely damaging to one's troops, of
course, but my people are willing to die to see my mission succeed."

Lora couldn't help it -- he shuddered. "I'm sure we can come up with
something else. Transmit the personnel information and I'll get back to you
presently."

Ka'tek nodded. "Very well. But we must again be on our way in less than
four hours. I will call you in three. Ka'tek out."
