    First contact managed by Kurn begins with a fight to test their worthiness, followed by a barrel of blood wine.

      Kurn would open diplomatic talks with a volley of photon torpedoes. If they survive the initial klingon hello and he likes the cut of their jib then, and only then, do the tests of worthiness begin.

      Cetacean ops has been converted to a bloodwine vat for optimal diplomatic relations.

      The barrel of bloodwine is also a test of worthiness, since we learn in that episode of SNW that a bloodwine hangover is sufficient punishment for stealing a starship with Carol Kane.
