Rating: G
Length: 100
Content notes: None
Author notes: This is a missing scene for the Season 2 episode "Judgment." Archer was imprisoned on a Klingon penal colony for the crime of rescuing Klingon refugees. His advocate was sentenced to serve with him for challenging a corrupted judicial system. This is Jonathan's voice.
Summary: Call it what you will.

Rura Penthe is cold as hell. I'm beyond shivering when a pile of patchy furs lands in my lap.

"Put it on, all of it. Or you won't last the night, Human."

I've never been more grateful to comply, wrapping mangy layers over my completely inadequate Starfleet uniform. "I don't know where you got this, Kolos... or what you had to trade for it. But it was a kindness."

The old advocate snorted, finding an alternative warmth in a nearly empty bottle of bloodwine.

"Klingons have no word for kindness. Such foolishness brought you here. However... you have corrupted me."
