The door opened and in walked a large Klingon male with hair as white as snow, it was tied back in a simple yet effective ponytail as J'mpok, son of Krit had come to challenge Tethi for his right to rule the Empire and now the waiting was over.

He had four bodyguards around him as he glanced around, there was only bodyguards and courtiers to be seem, no members of the council anywhere. "I am J'mpok!." he called loudly. "Son of Krit... I call the Chancellor to hear me!"

There was silence as J'mpok went over to the lead guardsman. "Where is the Chancellor?"

"In her office's, handling the affairs-" the guardsman responded as J'mpok waved his hand, silencing his response. "Ehh... Enough... Bring her out here. I wish to challenge her for the leadership of the empire."

The Guardsman sighed, this would be the seventh Chancellor in as many weeks and this was honestly getting a little tiresome. "Very well." and with that he turned and opened the door, he entered followed by his companion guardsman and what they sound was a scene of pure horror. Tethi looked like she was naked from the waist down and her head and face and head was covered in melted gold with some of it splattered over her uniform and her legs, which the lead guardsman could only conclude that she had been raped and violated by the two other corpses, both wearing the uniform of the brotherhood of the sword.

"Find out who these men are... They can't be members of the brotherhood... This is an affront to the brotherhood's name." the Colonel and commander of the Yan Isleth demanded.

"Yessir. Right away." and with that the second man turned and departed.

J'mpok sighed. "I will have my own bodyguards keep watch over me..." as several other Klingons all entered the Chancellor's office, this had been the second brutal death in as many months and they were leery about this one. "I assume you wish to nominate yourself for the leadership?"

J'mpok nodded. "I do. Yes."

General Makar nodded his head. "Come outside.. Get this mess cleaned up." he said to his aides who went to work on policing away Tethi's mortal shell and the rest of the detritus.

The other Klingons followed J'mpok and Makar outside where Makar was suddenly thankful that Tethi had not worn the great cassock of office when she was crowned queen of the dead with golden metal, whoever was doing all of this had no honor that Makar could see. "You wish the leadership of the empire?"

"I wish it.."

"Then approach." Makar commented as he proceeded to garb J'mpok with the robes of office. "Receive now the loyalty of the council and of the Empire."

Everyone in the great hall intoned "Qapla!" once loudly.

J'mpok nodded. "My first act is to disband the brotherhood of the sword and send the troops that make up this force back to the Klingon Defense Forces, their time and usefulness has come to an end." he commented, the Colonel commanding the unit protested but his protests was simply swept aside or outright ignored. "Clearly this organization cannot protect the Chancellor so I will have my own bodyguards protect me... rather then a traditional bound one.. my troops are more flexible and are better trained... Now.. onto other matters..." He indicated the door. "I present the traitor Wohavi."

The door opened and in came a dozen Klingon warriors, four of them were half carrying and half dragging General Wohavi behind them, she looked like she had been abused, she was covered in cuts and bruises.

"Today.. I will create a new punishment for traitors... You are welcome to stay and watch should you wish it.. but make no mistake, there can be no punishment extreme enough for this vile traitor."

Makar and the other members of the council watched as J'mpok passed sentence on Wohavi. "I sentence you to die... at the stake.. the humans had some colorful punishments for treachery and treason. You will be burned at the stake Wohavi.. at high sun outside the front doors in two days time... men take her."

Wohavi screamed loudly as she protested, she fought and she kicked but she needed to be subdued and she was taken away quickly.
