Do not go to Telstrus three. We ask you to beware. We say don't go there! We were fools who followed the wind. We were fools who followed the wind. We detected a signal from planetside. I got coordinates to be our guide. Our bird of prey went and took flight. We went searching for this site. The wind caught our ship. Our necks did whip. We were fools who followed the wind. We were fools who followed the wind. The breeze on Telstus Three. Was a lot stronger than we thought it’d be. It brought us down with a crash. Through the land, we caused a gash. We weren’t sure who was alive or dead. I was just glad to have my head! We were fools who followed the wind. We were fools who followed the wind. We blamed each other for being curious. Our captain was entirely furious. We were young fools who brought dishonour. Before we could go on any longer, We thought we heard strange voices. At the moment we questioned our choices! We were fools who followed the wind. We were fools who followed the wind. The locals weren’t friendly. But Klingons are deadly. We fought with honour and we fought with pride. Death was not for them to decide. We took them down with our bat’leth. We fought to the death. We were fools who followed the wind. We were fools who followed the wind. We thought our little war was won. But it had actually just begun. The locals weren’t our only problem. We had one more hurdle to overcome. The wildlife wasn’t friendly. They were out just to end me. But…. We were fools who followed the wind. We were fools who followed the wind. You should have seen this beast! It approached us from the east! It had fangs as long as my arm! And claws like knives to do us harm! It was the largest creature I’ve ever seen! Who knew something so big could be so mean? We were fools who followed the wind. We were fools who followed the wind. We fought bravely as a crew of eight. Honour will come! It’s not too late! Eight became three, And three became me. They were sent to Sto'Vo'Kor. They weren’t with me anymore. We were fools who followed the wind. We were fools who followed the wind. I was dishonourable and ran away. Maybe we’d fight another day. Stayed on this planet for a hundred nights. Then one day to my delight, Help would come and pull me off this rock. To me it came as a shock! We were fools who followed the wind. We were fools who followed the wind. The Federation coming was unexpected. Our lives have become intersected. Now that I’m here, please listen well. Dear Fleeter, this is my story to tell! You make think it tall! You may think it untrue! But this is the warning I still must give you…. Only fools follow the wind Only fools follow the wind.” Lieutenant Ikaia Wong gave this young roughed up Klingon warrior a curious head tilt as he looked him over. He honestly never expected to be serenaded in his own sickbay and yet that just happened. Maybe this man had been stranded on Telstrus 3 for a lot longer than he thought? He took a few moments to gather his thoughts. “I think you’re really talented, Mister Kork'ek. But can you repeat all that without the rhyme next time?” 5
