Something to sleep on, the Klingon Code of Conduct:

DISINTEGRATA

  • Go nastily amid the peace and tranquility, and remember what satisfaction there may be in genocide.
  • As far as possible, without surrender, move into other people's space.
  • Lie often and loudly; and listen to the lies of others, even the slow and incompetent; examples can be made of them later.
  • Seek out the meek and inoffensive persons; they are annoying, but fun to kill.
  • Do not bother comparing yourself to others; those greater than you will eventually be eliminated, and those lesser than you are dead already.
  • Fart in airlocks.
  • Assassinate your superior as quickly as possible; your own career, however exalted, is not worth a plugged millo if one of your own junior officers gets it over your dead body.
  • Exercise caution if one of your course changes suddenly produces a sensor ghost; for the galaxy is full of Federation vessels.
  • But let this not blind you to the happier side of things; many starship captains are swaggering, tin-plated dictators with delusions of godhood, and everywhere life is full of incompetence.
  • Advance yourself.
  • Especially do not feign meanness, neither be cynical about hate; you are not likely to run out of either.
  • Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the joys of defenestration and evisceration for more mature pleasures.
  • Nurture a deep-seated suspicion of small furry creatures that purr; you never can tell.
  • File your teeth regularly.
  • Discipline is important; practice holding it inbetween planetfalls.
  • You are a scourge of the universe, no less than your average interstellar plague or black hole; you have a right to be here.
  • And whether or not it is clear to you, have no doubt the universe is going to pieces in a most laudable manner.
  • Therefore do your utmost to annoy the destroyer, however you may conceive him, big bang, or entropy death; and whatever your plans of conquest, as you wade through the morasses of peace with fire and sword, annoy your soul.
  • With all it's truth, high resolve, and courage, the world still has it's ugly spots.
  • Be thoughtless.
  • Strive to be miserable.
