Date: 2017-12-31 04:46 pm (UTC)The governor of Tarsus IV that with a simple decree declared half of a suffering colony to death to save the other half. Determined men, women, and children to be unworthy to live. Whose decision put a child from Earth through a hell that no one should be forced to suffer just to survive. Protecting two others with him the entire way. How does one describe a man with such a callous disregard for human life? There are evils in the world and this man was one of them.
But that's speaking objectively. Stating facts and reciting history. Here in this personal quarters Felix doesn't get the benefit of a data pad spelling out what happened factually and neatly. He gets his answer from Jim Kirk.
"An unarmed man sitting in his office. Scared....for his life." Jim remembers knocking the pistol from the governor's hand, pinning him to the desk. Can see his younger counterpart dashing forward and burying his bootknife in Kodos' throat. Ripping it out. The blood spraying them both.
Khan's cold approval and laughter that followed when Kodos' body warped. How does it feel, captain?
How does it feel to be just. Like. Me?
"We didn't give him a chance...to beg."
