The page is giving the Klingon from ST V.

"Captain Klaa, proceed to Nimbus III.  A criminal has succeeded in taking hostages.  One hostage is
a Klingon diplomat.  One is a Terran.  One is a Romulan.  Do not delay.  Alter your course now.
Defend the Klingon race with honor.  Success."

(The Klingon did not include any mention of the Romulan hostage.)
