Description[]

Summary[]
At Starfleet Headquarters in San Francisco, James T. Kirk is having a hard time believing Khan’s tale, but Khan simply insists that the truth is the truth, and that there were many of these secret facilities throughout the world. Khan further explains how he and the other augments infiltrated governments and other important places in order to get a foothold for their ultimate goal.
Khan then explains the plan to take over and split the world into seven regions of control, each with an augment leader; North America, South America, Eastern Asia, Australia and Southeast Asia, Africa, Europe, and Central Asia and the Middle East. The council of leaders agrees to use nuclear weapons to destroy both Washington, DC and Moscow, the capitals of the two most powerful nations of the time, on 17 September 1992. While the word recoiled from the attacks, the augments commandeered television signals and declared their intent to take control over the Earth. They present two options: accept their rule, or go to war with an enemy they cannot see.
When the inevitable war begins, leaders are assassinated by agents seeded in the world’s governments, and destructive war machines created through their enhanced intelligence quickly wipe away all opposition. In three weeks, most of the world’s governments have fallen with the rest well on their way. Noonien himself single handedly takes on an entire platoon of soldiers in his home of New Delhi on the last day of fighting, after which he gives himself a new name, one that symbolized his new power: Khan.
