This includes the first decision point. I tried everything I could think of
and transcribed what happens for each of the options.

[Gowron:]
It pleases me that I should be here at my friend Torghn's side to watch his
son become a man
[Pok's father:]
Gowron, your presence brings my house honor.
[Gowron:]
May the house always deserve it.
I have brought your son the *chunnob gifts.
(to Pok)
Honor me by taking them.
[Pok's father, hand pointing to gifts]
Pok!
** the knife appears **
{... choose to do nothing and wait: ...}
[Gowron:]
Indecision! It is like a disease with you off-worlders.
You think too much.
There is a Klingon saying: Act and you shall have dinner, think and you
shall *be* dinner.
You understand Human, take action!
Try again.
{... choose to do nothing again ...}
naaaahhh
Did you not understand me last time?
Indecision is death!
You are still thinking like a human.
(very snarky)
"Will this be the right decision, will that be the right decision."
Choose! Deal with the consequences later!
but choose now!
aaaaa!
(kindler, gentler Gowron)
It is not your fault. Klingons learn this when they are children. If your
brother says do this, then you do it!
(raising fists like a boxer)
or you poise yourself for a fight.
or if a woman bares her teeth at you,
you hold her off, or, poise yourself... to love her.
Either way, the path is action!
Go, try again.
{... choose to do nothing and wait ....}
[Gowron:]
(grabing ahold and shaking/jostling the camera/player)
Are you sick? Injured? Surely you can move faster than that! What is the
matter, do you not understand what is being said to you?!
Try again, faster, faster, faaassterrrr!
{.... do nothing again .....}
[Gowron, holding painstick]
This is the last time I will tell you this. Four times is enough even for a
pack-led dog to learn. Do something!
I see I cannot teach you to be Klingon using human methods, from now
on I will teach you using *Klingon* methods.
(puts painstick in his palm)
(game resets - no more Gowron scenes if you wait)
{... choose to attack Gowron's guard ....}
(Pok's father grabs camera)
What did you do?!
You would challange one of gowron's personal guards?
They are not here for sport, they are gaurding the leader of the high
counsel,
allied to the house of SepIch, your house Pok.
Stop your games before someone takes true offense.
{... choose to attack Gowron ....}
*dirag! (spoken by Gowron to gaurd as he stops his gaurd from attacking Pok)
It is alright, it was meant as a challenge of respect, isn't that right,
Pok?
(to Pok)
My guards would be happy to die for me, and happier still to kill for me.
You are just learning, but next time you challenge me, I won't stop them.
{... choose the gifts ....}
(this advances to next scene)
