"[opening address to his students] I officially welcome you to the Klingon Defense Forces Elite Command Academy. You have surpassed your peers to earn a place within this distinguished hall... but I tell you, this is not enough. In the days to come, you will be tested beyond your current limitations. Most of you will fail... and failure will mean your immediate dismissal from this institution. Past achievements mean nothing here. I am not interested in the names of your fathers, nor of your family's lineage. What I am interested in... is your breaking point! How will you conduct yourselves in battle? How far will you go to preserve your honor, and fulfill your duty? These are simple questions that will decide the fate of our Empire."
