ten Dominion ships are in pursuit and will intercept them before they reach safety. Worf prepares to embark on a suicide mission in one vessel to delay the pursuers, and allow the remaining Klingon ships to escape. Kor learns of Worf's plan from Martok's aide Darok, an old Klingon who is Kor's age and is sympathetic to his plight. Kor's pride is rekindled when he realizes only his lifetime of experience can make the plan work. It is also the warrior's death he has longed for. Kor sedates Worf and takes his place on the mission, assuring Worf that when he reaches the halls of the honored dead, he will find Worf's late wife Jadzia Dax and tell her that Worf still loves her. Martok and his crew observe the battle from the Ch'tang. Against the odds, Kor succeeds in delaying the enemy. Martok is the first to toast Kor's bravery, and the crew sing to Kor's victory.
