Kirk: "Gentlemen, I have seen what the Klingons do to planets like
yours. They are organized into vast slave labor camps. No freedoms
whatsoever. Your goods will be confiscated. Hostages taken and
killed. Your leaders confined. You'd be far better on a penal planet,
infinitely better off." Aelborne: "Captain, we see that your concern
is genuine, and we are moved. But again, we assure you that we are
absolutely in no danger. If anybody is in danger, you are. And
that concerns us greatly. It would be better if you'd return to
your ship as soon as possible."
