Khan (continuing): What you see is all that remains of the ship's company and crew of the Botany Bay, marooned here fifteen years ago by Captain James T. Kirk.
 
Kahn:
Captain, Captain, heh heh heh... Save your strength Captain, heh heh... These people have sworn to live and die at my command 200 years before you were born..

Do you mean, he never told you the tale? To amuse your Captain? No? Never told you how the Enterprise picked up the Botany Bay, lost in space in the year 1996, myself and the ships company in cryogenic freeze?
 
Admiral? Admiral?! Admiral Kirk.
He never told you how Admiral Kirk sent seventy of us into exile on this barren sand heap with only the contents of these cargo bays to sustain us?
 
Khan:

THIS IS CETI ALPHA V!!!!!! Ceti Alpha VI exploded 6 months after we were left here. The shock shifted the orbit of this planet and everything was laid waste. Admirl Kirk never bothered to check on our progress. It is only the fact of my genetically enhanced intellect that allowed us to survive. On earth, two hundred years ago, I was a prince, with power over millions!
 
Chekov:

Captain Kirk was your host! You repaid his hospitality by trying to steal his ship and murder him!
 
KHAN

You didn't expect to find me.

You thought this was Ceti Alpha

Six. Why are you here?
 
Khan: Allow me introduce you to Ceti Alpha Five's only remaining indigenous life form. They've killed twenty of my people, including my beloved wife. Oh, not all at once, and not instantly, to be sure. You see, their young enter through the ears and wrap themselves around the cerebral cortex. This has the effect of rendering the victim extremely susceptible to suggestion. Later, as they grow, follows madness, and death.
