QONOS, 2281

Sorel asked Sarek a question about his grandson, Peter Kirk.

"Does he still hate me?"

"Hate is a strong term. He merely wishes to know why you left him with an insane paternal grandmother. As I would like you to inform him of his Rihannsu heritage. He and Saavik are---active---and may mistakenly believe that pregnancy is not possible."

The former Tasorel shrugged.

"No. He must never know that. And Richard rivalled Brianna in instability. It would have been no better."

Just then, a Klingon delegate fell dead on their table. Another Klingon removed his body.

"Sorry to interrupt."
