"Apparently. And specifically, the fact that most of my assignments, this one included, are efforts by elements within the Empire to be rid of me. They may have some contact within the Romulan Empire as well. Any involvement with me may be a life and death matter above and beyond the risks inherent in this mission. Likewise, if I am successful in my mission, eventually, I will hold a place within a Klingon great house. While it is too early to know what may come, that would put you, and any offspring, at considerable risk on a regular basis. I know you can handle yourself, having seen it. This is not putting that down in any way. But challenges may come from even more trained people who do have Romulan levels of strength... or, given the Romulans and certain elements... from poisons, assassins, snipers, traps, or worst of all, politics. I wanted to make certain you knew what you were getting into."
