The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry (2017)

Shazad Latif: Ash Tyler, Voq

Quotes 

• Voq : [in Klingonese]  T'Kuvma, my Lord, it has been six months since your ship was disabled and the war began. We are left behind, in disrepair. Your followers are hungry. Help me guide them to nourishment.

  L'Rell : [entering, in Klingonese]  You are an artist now?

  Voq : This is the orbit of every object we have scavenged through in the debris field. There are no Birds-of-Prey that we require to restart our engines.

  L'Rell : There is one ship.

  Voq : We will not have this discussion again.

  L'Rell : The Shenzhou is within range. It may have been abandoned, but it still has an intact dilithium-processing unit.

  Voq : This is the very ship that felled T'Kuvma. To fuse its technology with our own would be blasphemy.

  L'Rell : You had no such outrage when we ate its captain. I saw your smile when you picked the meat from her smooth skull.

  Voq : As T'Kuvma perished in my arms, I swore to keep his fire lit. To resist assimilation. To lead his followers. But now they slowly die of hunger on this ghost ship. His legacy dies with them. I cannot allow it.

  L'Rell : What good is purity if it leads only to death? My father was T'kuvma's blood kin, but my mother was House Mo'Kai, the watcher clan, the deceivers, the weavers of lies. When I was a child, she gave me a bat'leth and told me to cleave my own heart. To choose one house over the other. Instead, I built a bridge to serve both. Now it is your turn to build... to go into that graveyard, and bring back the Shenzhou's processing unit for the good of your people. You must go to that ship.
