Chapter 7:
A Hero's Welcome
Picard and Kirk walked to Guinan's Ten Forward room. "Ladies and gentlemen, Captain James T. Kirk." Applause ran around the room. As Mogh stood in front of the captains, silence filled the room. "Mr. Worf?" Captain Picard motioned his former security chief to come forward. Worf stood in awe of the man who stood before him. "Father!" Mogh's eyes filled with happiness, even without tears, "My son!" Father and son embraced. A little boy approached Worf. Worf looked at the small one, "This is me." "You remember him?" "Yes!" The boy then disappears. "He became you," Spock Prime said, who appeared before them, with Q. "Q?" "Jean-Luc. I'm not here to harass, merely to enjoy this moment with you and your crew." Deanna Riker spoke, "He tells the truth, Captain."
Commander Data approaches the captains, "Captain Picard, a word in private, please." Picard and Data walk away and Data discreetly tells his captain important information. "Well done, Commander. Bring them here." Jean-Luc joins the group holds his hands up for silence. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have other guests to bring." A Klingon officer then approaches Ten-Forward. Mogh looks at his Klingon brother. "Lorgh!" The warriors embrace. "Mogh!" Lorgh looks at Worf, "This is Worf?" "Yes, this is my son." Lorgh said, "Then I have your second son, Rodek." "Rodek?" Worf answered the confusion, "He wanted to die, Father, through Mok-to-Vor. I had refused to aid the Klingons in their invasion of Cardassia and Rodek urged me to kill him. His name, as you'll remember, is Kurn." "Kurn?" "I am Rodek!" Q stepped in front of him. "You are Kurn, son of Mogh!" "I am Rodek!" Spock Prime stepped in front also, performing a mind-meld between Worf and Rodek. "My mind to two minds, our minds are one." Spock releases his hands. "I am…Kurn." Worf answered, "Yes, brother. You are Kurn." "My sons," Mogh embraces his sons.
All the captains return to their respective time periods; Picard, Kirk, Worf, Kurn, Mogh and his mate return to the Klingon homeworld. K'mpec and Gowron welcomed their brothers home.
At last, peace is restored to the galaxy. The Romulans sign a treaty with the Klingons, after receiving intel from Spock of 2387 of the position of the Romulans during the 2360s. Vulcans and Romulans finally reach Unification.
Qa'pla! Live long and prosper.
