Klingon Cruiser T'Ong

The T'Ong is the narrative catalyst referenced via an automated transmission: its impending crew awakening creates the moral dilemma and tactical urgency driving the briefing. It functions as the offstage antagonist whose historical context provokes K'Ehleyr's hardline stance and Picard's restraint.

The T'Ong is the subject of K'Ehleyr's intelligence: an eighty‑year‑lost Klingon battlecruiser awakening its cryogenically frozen crew. It functions narratively as the proximate threat that escalates moral and tactical choices, catalyzing the briefing and Picard's refusal to default to annihilation.

The T'Ong is the central objective and hypothetical antagonist: its crew's sleep state vs. awakening structures the entire briefing. It is discussed as either recoverable via sedating intervention or an imminent threat if awakened and unrestrained.

The Klingon battlecruiser T'Ong is the unseen antagonist around which debate circulates—its potential awakening, likely commander K'Temoc, and the crew's possible actions drive every tactical proposal and moral argument.

The Klingon battlecruiser T'Ong appears on sensors as a decades‑old threat: its presence catalyzes the debate over preemption, fires an unprovoked shot that shakes the bridge, and then cloaks, transforming abstract danger into immediate violent action.

The Klingon battlecruiser T'Ong appears on the main viewer as an eighty‑year‑old warship; it is the source of both scientific curiosity and mortal threat — it fires unexpectedly at the Enterprise, then engages cloaking technology to vanish, driving the scene's crisis.

The T'Ong appears as the antagonistic vessel: it decloaks, fires phasers and a photon torpedo, and its bridge crew reacts to Worf's projection; ultimately its captain lowers shields and yields command, turning the ship from active threat into surrendered prize escorted by P'rang.

The T'Ong is the antagonistic Klingon cruiser that decloaks, fires phasers and a photon torpedo at the Enterprise, then, confronted by Worf's ritual authority, lowers shields and yields command—transforming from immediate kinetic threat into a surrendered vessel awaiting escort.

The T'Ong itself is the antagonist vessel whose decloaking, attack, and subsequent cultural surrender form the scene's central conflict; its actions create the tactical pretext for the Enterprise's intercept and Worf's ritualized command performance.
