The day after discussing the incident at Organia, Kahnrah and K'ahlynn spend an evening outside bat'leth dueling. While battling, Kahnrah discusses understanding one's enemy with his granddaughter, warning that one should be wary of both under-and-over-estimating one's enemy, and continues his lesson in Klingon history in the telling of the story of Gralmek, an experiment in Klingon espionage. After three days Gralmek felt secure in the success of his mission, but was then summoned to the station commander's office by an irate Baris, who was exasperated at Kirk.
