#broken bow

Soval has decided that it best protects humanity for the Klingons to receive the corpse of their courier, who died at the hands of Joe Random Human in the very first encounter. A kind of, "You dropped this. I really don't recommend fucking with them. Even we don't know what they'll do."

After all, the Vulcans are clearly afraid that humanity will become a violent imperial force in the galaxy. The Klingons, not to mention the Andorians and Tellarites, are exactly what they'd like to groom us away from. The Vulcans, after all, aren't so much trying to hold humanity back, as channel us in useful directions. But it couldn't hurt for word to get around, to the more unstable and violent aliens, that humans are best left alone. And then Vulcan reaps the benefits of alliance with us, gets to monopolize our strengths, and gets to point us in whatever direction they need. And nobody fucks with the Vulcans.
