It was so that you would not forget him. Game was like "but if i show you this once you will forget it in few days but if i show u this twice you will not forget it"
First, K'Valk was a true Klingon. Second the music takes this rendition to the next level...that and K'Valk's smooth baritone. There needs to be a rendition with the full musical backing.
You can't help but salute this scene. Going out in a blaze of glory, sacrificing himself to open a weakness (or show, remember; the encounter with the Enterprise was deemed classified). Q'apla K'valk.
K'Valk is easily one of the best Klingons in STO. His conviction and morals were a great statement about true honor. And facing his fate SINGING at the end. I hope I can face my end half as well one day.
Hear! Sons of Kahless. Hear! Daughters too. The blood of battle washes clean the warrior brave and true. We fight, we love, and then we kill. Our lives burn short and bright. Then we die with honor and join our fathers in the Black Fleet where we battle forever, battling on through the Eternal Fight.
i dunno if i posted this here or on another video but this came up on my recommended again so meh ill say it again: i KNOW im not the only klingon fan that started singing along and smacking his arms down during this scene
Commodore Decker ran a shuttle into the the mouth of the Planet Killer in the TOS episode Doomsday Machine, then when his ship was inside the Planet Killer, the USS Constellation detonated by Captain Kirk, rendering it dead.
Speaking as my Dominion War veteran Starfleet Captain, I would have nominated this guy for a decoration. He's the kind of warrior the Empire - and the Federation - would need in order to defend the Alpha Quadrant against threats like the Borg and the Undine and the [REDACTED], to say nothing of ending J'mpok's goddamn stupid war.
If anyone is interested, I can speak Klingon (kinda sad I know, but nevermind). The translation is: Hear! Sons of Kahless Hear! Daughters too. The blood of battle washes clean. The Warrior brave and true. We fight, we love, and then we kill. Our lives burn short and bright. Then we die with honor and join our fathers in the Black Fleet where we battle forever, battling on through the Eternal fight.
The best part about this scene? The devs didn’t originally plan for the song to appear in the mission, Marc Biagi knew the song and got it into the mission, even more reason why K’valk is a Klingons Klingon
When I first played this mission I wanted so much to sing this along with K'Valk. I know, sad. I just love Klingons! Qapla'! Qoy qeylIs puqloD, Qoy puqbe'pu'. yoHbogh matlhbogh je SuvwI', Say'moHchu' may' Iw.
+Shadowaries1 I meant i didn't know what it meant, but i know the language is real and that there is a english translation, i just don't know klingon at all.
You know, this is actually kinda my favorite rendition of this song. The one in DS9 seemed rather, weak and tuneless compared to this one. I imagine the background score is helping him, but he has a power and rythm to his singing that they didn't.
For a second I thought he'd just die meaninglessly and his sacrifice would be played as dark humor. But I guess bad edgy writing is afraid of Klingons and stays away from them.
