'''Kirk''': Seems to be New York City. Mid-21st century.<br /> | |||
'''La'an''': What?<br /> | |||
'''Kirk''': What?<br /> | |||
'''La'an''': It's Toronto. The biggest city in what used to be called Canada? You know, maple leaves, politeness, poutine. I take it you've never been.<br /> | |||
'''Kirk''': I've never been to Earth at all. I was born in space on the USS Iowa. Earth in my time isn't like this.<br /> | |||
'''La'an''': What is it like?<br /> | |||
'''Kirk''': A battleground for a while, then occupied territory and then a ruin. | |||
'''Kirk''': My best option is to do absolutely nothing. Enjoy the hot dogs and the hot showers and let whatever's gonna happen happen and then figure out how I can get back home.<br /> | |||
'''La'an''': I've seen your timeline. You're at war. Your Earth is a ruin.<br /> | |||
'''Kirk''': We've made the stars our home. The moon, Mars, Venus, Europa.<br /> | |||
'''La'an''': In my timeline, humanity has spread across dozens of worlds. We're part of a federation of species.<br /> | |||
'''Kirk''': We don't need anyone else's help to survive.<br /> | |||
'''La'an''': And just surviving is good enough for you?<br /> | |||
'''Kirk''': Oh, and I suppose you come from some sort of a utopia.<br /> | |||
'''La'an''': My Earth still has sunsets. Okay, yes, our 21st century, it got bad. But after the first contact with the Vulcans, our Earth became a paradise. The Federation and Starfleet are forces for good, not just on Earth but throughout the entire galaxy. You're a soldier fighting a war it seems like you've already lost…<br /> | |||
'''Kirk''': We're not out of the fight yet.<br /> | |||
'''La'an''': When you could be an explorer.<br /> | |||
'''Kirk''': Or… I may not exist in your timeline at all.<br /> | |||
'''La'an''': But you do. I mean, we-we've never met, but I… I've heard stories about you from your brother.<br /> | |||
'''Kirk''': Sam's alive? My God. | |||
'''La'an''': You're here to kill Khan Noonien Singh. Why?<br /> | |||
'''Sera''': Because a computer simulation told me to.<br /> | |||
'''La'an''': You can't be serious.<br /> | |||
'''Sera''': Time is like a black box. It's too complicated to leave to intuition, so we built computers that will tell us the results of, uh, certain changes.<br /> | |||
'''La'an''': And this was your answer?<br /> | |||
'''Sera''': Khan becomes a brutal tyrant. I mean, maybe humanity needs the dark age that he brings in to usher in their age of enlightenment. Or maybe it's just random. Doesn't really matter, though, 'cause if I kill him, the Federation never forms, and the Romulans lose their greatest adversary. But, yeah, so many people have tried to influence these events, you know, to delay them or stop them. I mean, whole temporal wars have been fought over them. And it's almost as if time itself is pushing back, and events reinsert themselves. And all this was supposed to happen back in 1992, and I've been trapped here for 30 years trying to get my shot at him. I'm not gonna stop now. So open the door.<br /> | |||
'''La'an''': My real name is La'An Noonien-Singh. My ancestor is Khan Noonien Singh. And his legacy is genocide, torture… and me.<br /> | |||
'''Sera''': You have a device in your pocket that protects you from changes in the timeline. If he dies… you can live whatever kind of life you want, and you'll never have to hear the name Khan ever again. You can be free of him. | |||
