Plot: After an explosion on their moon, the Klingons have an estimated 50 years before their ozone layer is completely depleted, and they all die. They have only one choice - to make peace with the Federation, which will mean an end to 70 years of conflict. Captain James T. Kirk and crew are called upon to help in the negotiations because of their "experience" with the Klingon race. Peace talks don't quite go to plan, and eventually Kirk and McCoy are tried and convicted of assassination, and sent to Rura Penthe, a snowy hard-labor prison camp. Will they manage to escape? And will there ever be peace with the Klingons?

Quotes:

Chancellor Gorkon: [last words to Kirk before death] Don't let it end this way, captain.

Captain Hikaru Sulu: [after seeing the Enterprise's torpedo hit the Bird-of-Prey] Target that explosion and fire!

General Chang: [over the public address speakers] "I am constant as the northern star."::Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D.: I'd give real money if he'd shut up.

General Chang: I can see you, Kirk.::Captain James T. Kirk: Chang.::General Chang: Can you see me? Oh, now be honest, Captain, warrior to warrior. You do prefer it this way, don't you, as it was meant to be? No peace in our time. "Once more unto the breach, dear friends."

[Dictating his personal log]::Captain James T. Kirk: Captain's log, stardate 9522.6: I've never trusted Klingons, and I never will. I could never forgive them for the death of my boy. It seems to me our mission to escort the Chancellor of the Klingon High Council to a peace summit is problematic at best. Spock says this could be an historic occasion, and I'd like to believe him, but how on earth can history get past people like me?

[on whether to help the Klingons]::Captain James T. Kirk: They're animals.::Captain Spock: Jim, there is an historic opportunity here.::Captain James T. Kirk: Don't believe them. Don't trust them.::Captain Spock: They're dying.::Captain James T. Kirk: Let them die!::[pauses... Spock cocks his head in surprise. Kirk recoils and proceeds]::Captain James T. Kirk: Has it occurred to you that this crew is due to stand down in three months? We've done our bit for king and country! You should have trusted me.

Captain James T. Kirk: Bones, are you afraid of the future?::Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D.: I believe that was the general idea that I was trying to convey.::Captain James T. Kirk: I don't mean this future.::Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D.: What is this, multiple choice?

General Chang: "To be or not to be?" That is the question which preoccupies our people, Captain Kirk. We need breathing room.::Captain James T. Kirk: Earth, Hitler, 1938.::General Chang: I beg your pardon.::Chancellor Gorkon: Well... I see we have a long way to go.

Captain Spock: Logic, logic, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end.

Captain Spock: [to Valeris] What you want is irrelevant, what you have chosen is at hand.
