&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/cjNOtRNjvSpkO-S4kNuoqJBLXaw/1/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/cjNOtRNjvSpkO-S4kNuoqJBLXaw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Kor'Tar sat in the smaller Captain's chair on the narrow, triangular battle bridge of the U.S.S. Kahless. Commander Rebecca Marshall was at the forward unified helm/ops crescent shaped console, while Commander Lisa Terrell was standing at the small tactical console behind Kor'Tar's chair on a one step platform. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Distance?" Kor'Tar asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"General Koraga's fleet is less then 100,000 kilometers away and are traveling at one half impulse power. Sir, it should be noted for the record, that we may be outnumbered, but they are outgunned. Imagine if General Santa Anna and his troops were trying to raid the Alamo armed with simple ball and powder muskets, and Col. James Bowie  and Col. James Neil were armed with semi-automatic side arms and rocket launchers." Commander Marshall said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar nodded, "I see your point... 80 enemy ships against our 45? I like those odds." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Disengage docking latches," Kor'Tar ordered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The docking latches nosily uncoupled putting a slight tremor through the deck plating. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Docking latches disengaged." Commander Terrell reported. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Drop the cloak, raise the sheilds!! Arm phasers and quantum torpedoes!! Separate the saucer section!!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Klingon Planetary Defense fleet along with the Enterprise-E, the Kahless, the Prometheus class U.S.S. Memphis, the Defiant class U.S.S. Tanigawa , and the U.S.S. Titan all decloaked. The loyal Klingon ships opened fire on the rebel fleet in fierce volleys of disruptor fire and torpedoes as the Enterprise-E and Kahless separated their saucers, and the Memphis separated into multi-vector assault mode, turning the once 4 nacelled battleship into three smaller 2 nacelled strike fighters.  The Starfleet ships flew in formation along side the loyal Klingon fleet striking at the rebels with surgical precision . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In sickbay Doctor Marcus Binion worked on a sedated Terla to surgically remove Kor'Tar's infant son from her womb before the both die from internal injuries. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Laser scalpel." Doctar Binion said with his gloved hand extended. Nurse Draako Joran handed him the tool, "Laser scalpel."  she said as her eyes grew wide with anticipation. Dr. Binion noticed the look she had in her eyes, "Have you ever assisted with a delivery before, D'Raako?" He asked her as he tested the laser scalpel and adjusted the beam's sharpness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her green cheeks lit up, embarrassed, "Never other than in simulations Doctor." She said shyly . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well you are about to gain experience in this area. I am making an incision of the lower abdomen..." He said lowering the scalpel to the flesh of Terla's stomach when the deck shook from weapons impacts and the lights flickered in sickbay. The back-up generators flipped on and the lights and equipment beeped back to life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marcus pulled back his scalpel took a deep breath and braced himself against the side rail, making his first incision. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir! The Titan and Tanigawa are taking heavy damage!!" Commander Marshall reported. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Tell them they are ordered to fall back to Starbase 375 for repair!" Kor'Tar ordered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye Sir!" she replied, and after a few keystrokes on her console, "The Titan and Tanigawa are retreating as ordered." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You know that's gonna stick in Riker's and Valentine's craw, don't you?" Commander Terrel said from her tactical console with a smirk. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They'll get over it once they realize they still have a ship to command and not a pile of debris." Kor'Tar said with a laugh as the deck shook again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, I am detecting General Worf's fleet dropping out of warp!" Commander Marshall said triumphantly . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Onscreen!!" Kor'Tar said standing from the chair and holding onto the railing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The viewer showed many Vor'Cha and Negh'Var attack cruisers dropping out of warp and picking off the old Birds of Prey and K'T'Inga  class battlecruisers one by one leaving the rebel fleet badly damaged or destroyed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, we my be celebrating victory too soon, looks as if one Bird of Preys has broken through the line unscathed and it is on it's way to the First City of Qo'NoS!" Commander Lisa Terrell said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar walked over to the small half sized battle-ready room  and pulled his bat'leth off the wall, "You have the battle bridge Commander Terrell, Have Lt. S'Vinn   and Tedra meet me at the Captain's Yatch. Recconect the saucer while I am gone." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye sir!" she said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar walked down to the launch bay stopping at a small locker on the wall, he opened it up and put on the Klingon armor over his chest, back, shoulders  over his Starfleet uniform . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S'Vinn the Andorian security officer and Tedra the Klingon who brought Terla back arrived shortly there after, both armed for hand to hand combat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They all loaded up into the Yatch and flew through the cloudy green atmosphere of Qo'NoS trailing the rouge Bird of Prey. It had set down outside the Klingon Capital building. The ramp left open in the back of it. The Yatch landed next to it on thrusters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar stood by the door as S'Vinn stood ready with his phaser rifle aimed. Kor'Tar counted down quietly with his fingers so S'Vinn and Tedra could see "3...2...1...." clenching his hand into a fist S'Vinn opened the hatch and went out first surveying the perimeter and the Bird of Prey, "Clear!!" he reported a second later, Tedra and Kor'Tar made their way up to the doors of the Capital . Dead Klingons littered the path and the inside . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They made their way to the High Council Chamber, more dead warriors. They made their way around to the Chancellor's office and found the door was cracked opened when it should have been sealed , they quickly glanced inside, and saw no one there but it had been ransacked . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They made their way to cloned Emperor Kahless's office and saw the door standing wide open Koraga was taking the sword of Kahless off the wall with a satsified grin. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tedra and S'Vinn drew their rifles, but Kor'Tar put his hands out pushing the barrels down. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We will settle this, in our own way!!" Kor'Tar growled low, through his sharp teeth as he raised his bat'leth before him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koraga wheeled around on his heels to face Kor'Tar, his eyes wide with rage "You are not worthy of this sword! This is a sword for a Warrior King, not a traitor in a child's costume!!"   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar raised his own bat'leth "We shall see!!" and he swung the blade at Koraga which was easily deflected. Kor'Tar swung again striking the cold steel blades together with a loud clang . Again and again the blades locked till finally Kor'Tar overpowered Koraga knocking him back, over Kahless's desk sending the Sword of Kahless clattering to the ground. Kor'Tar head butted Koraga to ensured he stayed down long enough, and he bent down and picked up the Sword of Kahless raising it high above his head , with one swift motion, the sunk the blade into Koraga's chest. Koraga's breath rattled as the blade dug it's way through his heart and lungs. He felt his life begin to drain away as he heard the rocking of the Barge of the Dead and the cries of the damned honorless souls on their way to Gre'Thor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar put his boot on the now dead Koraga's ribcage and used it for leverage to withdraw the bloodied Sword of Kahless. Kor'Tar hung the sowrd back in it's place pf honor on the wall, with Koraga's blood still dripping from it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tedra and S'Vinn looked into the office as Kor'Tar exited. "Let's go home," he said exhausted as he gathered his bat'leth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Yatch made it's way beyond the atmo of Qo'NoS and past the debris of the rebel fleet, a shining beacon of hope, the U.S.S. Kahless, battered but in one piece again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Yatch docked as the comm went off. "Dr. Binion to Kor'Tar come in!!" he said as the sound of a baby crying flitered in over the speakers. "That would be your son, Commodore, his has a strong set of lungs, and ten fingers, and ten toes, and the looks of his Mother thankfully, who is resting comfortably. " Dr. Binion said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm on my way Marcus!!" Kor'Tar said proudly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar entered sickbay, noting it was darker than he was used to hen seeing his mate Terla resting he understood why, he saw the tiny bio-crib with a small readout screen above it giving the baby's vitals . Kor'Tar looked in the crib and his son stirred and looked him in the eyes for the first time, he had pronounced ridges and brown eyes like his mother. Kor'Tar gently stroked his tiny hands with the tips of his fingers when his son grabbed ahold of his fingers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar smiled, "You are a strong little warrior!!" he said to him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later .... in the conference room .....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Klingon Rebellion has been crushed once and for all and the Houses are finally stable for the first time in decades." Commander Rebecca Marshall reported . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, everything is finally good with the Empire. Now if you don't mind Becca?" Commander O'Dell said hopefully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She smiled and produced an old butane lighter in a battered copper case with a brass cutout of Texas on it from a pocket, "Here it is, now you promised me one, remember?" She said slyly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy nodded and pulled out 3 cigars in blue paper with the Klingon seal in red on them. They unwrapped the paper from them and poked a hole in the end of them then all three officers lit their cigars as they looked out over Qo'NoS.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-3144199139817647172?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/aItytnhmnG4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/3144199139817647172/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2011/07/onslaught.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/3144199139817647172?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/3144199139817647172?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/aItytnhmnG4/onslaught.html" title="Onslaught" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2011/07/onslaught.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DUEDSX44fyp7ImA9WhZaFUo.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-5300932506297893194</id><published>2011-07-01T19:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-01T20:34:38.037-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2011-07-01T20:34:38.037-07:00</app:edited><title>All Along the Watch Tower</title><content type="html">

Almost two weeks after finding Terla and no attack. He had to keep the engines running at top efficiency. Crewman Thorton handed him a PADD with the latest report on it. Teydroc read it and shook his spiked head. "Chris, this isn't good enough. We need the engines at 97.9 % and this shows they are only at 94.5 %." He said in frustration. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But sir, this is well within flight tolerances according to the technical manuals.", Crewman Thorton protested. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teydroc slapped the PADD on the crewman's chest. "I don't care what the tech manuals say, it's not up to MY standards! Purge the duterium filters, and the anti-matter injectors and seal off the the starboard and port anti-locks, get it done!!" He said as he picked up his tool case and began crawling inside the Jefferie's tube. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye sir!" Crewman Throton replied. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar paced the bridge, going from station to station. Stopping every now and then to stare at the viewscreen, seeing Qo'NoS from orbit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, you'll wear a hole in the carpet if you keep that up." Commander O'Dell said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar glared at him and then gave him a small smile, "Thanks Billy." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar sat in his Captain's chair and leaned back, straightening his baldric chain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This puzzles me, Commodore. The reports we got from Terla and Tedra said the attack was supposed to happen last Sunday, but the whole day went by and nothing. Here it is nearly two weeks later and we have nothing to show for all our sitting and waiting cloaked. What sort of game is Koraga playing?" Commander O'Dell pondered aloud. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I happen to know Koraga is no fan of games, he will attack when he is ready to attack and not before." Kor'Tar said stroking his goatee. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The comm beeped a signal. "Bridge to Commodore Kor'Tar, come in!" It was Doctor Marcus Binion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar hit a button on the arm of his chair "Kor'Tar here. Yes Marcus, what is it?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, you need to come down to sickbay immediately, Terla is having a medical emergency. I need you down here to make a decision." He said with a concerned voice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar rose from his chair quickly, "I'm on my way Marcus! You have the bridge Billy!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone on the bridge looked on after Kor'Tar as he left. "Now, now, let's keep an eye on your duties people!" Commander O'Dell warned. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the bridge crew went back to work as Billy cast his own worried glance at the now closed turbolift doors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar arrived in sickbay and saw Terla on the central biobed the the surgical cover over her. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Binion met Kor'Tar at the console. "Kor, Terla came in about 15 minutes ago complaining of abdominal discomfort. I examined her, if we do not surgically remove your son now, both Terla and he will die. If I do remove him there is a chance I can save them both." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Make it so, Marcus!" Kor'Tar said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marcus nodded and went to go scrub in. Kor'Tar walked over to the biobed next to Terla and took her hand. She stirred a bit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hey..." she said softly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hey, Doc says your in rough shape, but he'll get you and our son fixed right up, in no time." He said as he held her hand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She smiled at him, "Good," She paused for a moment, "I've finally decided on a name for our son, but I want to run it by you first."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar grabbed a nearby chair and pulled it next to the biobed, and sat down taking Terla's hand in his again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What name?" Kor'Tar asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think we should name him after your father, B'Roq." She said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar nodded and kissed her ridges, "B'Roq it is then."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I hate to interrupt this touching moment, but I have surgery to perform, now shoo!!" Marcus said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Keep me advised, doctor." Kor'Tar said on his way out of sickbay. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar arrived back on the bridge as the alarms began to blare and the red alert lights began to flash. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Report!" He said over the noise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Koraga's rebel fleet has begun decloaking, I read 80 enemy starships, comprised of K'Tinga class battle cruisers, and D'Rel Class Birds of Prey. The fleet is out numbered 2 to 1." Commander Rebbecca Marshall reported. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Not necessarily. The Kahless, and the Enterprise can separate their saucer sections, and the Memphis has a Multi-Vector-Attack mode. Send a coded transmission on a carrier frequency to the Enterprise and the Memphis. When we decloak, we separate the ships and fire everything we have at the rebel fleet along  with support of the Klingon Planetary Defense force. We must hold the line until General Worf and his forces arrive." Kor'Tar said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye sir, transmission sent."  Commander Marhsall said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Marshall, Terrell, you're with me. You have Command of the saucer section Commander O'Dell." Kor'Tar said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye sir" they all said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar headed to the emergency turbolift, with Lisa Terrell and Rebecca Marshall. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Battle Bridge!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-5300932506297893194?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/6RP2bbKDh5o" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/5300932506297893194/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2011/07/all-along-watch-tower.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/5300932506297893194?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/5300932506297893194?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/6RP2bbKDh5o/all-along-watch-tower.html" title="All Along the Watch Tower" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2011/07/all-along-watch-tower.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CUYNQ34-fyp7ImA9WhZbFU4.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-5084473403113646930</id><published>2011-06-19T18:26:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-19T18:26:32.057-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2011-06-19T18:26:32.057-07:00</app:edited><title>No Quarter</title><content type="html">

Lt. Cmdr. Marshall reported. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Drop us out of warp, Lt. Mendez and bring us along side." Kor'Tar ordered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye sir!" She replied . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Kahless dropped out of warp and at impulse moved near the Enterprise, Titan, Tanigawa, and Memphis in orbit of the station.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir we are recieving a signal, it's Admiral Callahan." Lt. Cmdr. Marshall reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Put him onscreen." Kor'Tar replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Turtlehead, did I hear it right? That your mate is with child?" The old wrinkled Admiral asked with a wry grin. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You heard right, sir!" Kor'Tar said proudly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If he's anything like his daddy, the universe will tremble in fear!", Admiral Callahan said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Thank you, sir." Kor'Tar replied. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Admiral Callahan's face grew serious, "Now, on to business. I want to brief all the Commanding Officers in the next hour in the Ward Room." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Understood, sir. I'll be there. Kor'Tar out." The screen switched back to the view of that station and the ships. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar stood from his chair, "Billy, you have the bridge, I need to go gather some things for the briefing." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye sir." Billy said as he took the chair and Kor'Tar made his way to the turbolift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar arrived in the Transporter room an hour later with a PADD in hand, studying the data as he walked. He finally stopped long enough to look up and step on the Transporter pad. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Energize." Kor'Tar said to the cheif. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pad above and below Kor'Tar lit up and the annular confinement beam washed over his body with a hum till all he could see was the sparkle of the beam then as the beam began to fade he saw he was no longer on the Transporter room of The Kahless, but the Transporter pad in Ops on Starbase 375. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Permission to board the station?" Kor'Tar asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Admiral Callahan shot out his hand and shook Kor'Tar's firmly, "You know you don't need my permission, son!" He said grinning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Come on, this way to the Ward Room" Admiral Callahan led the way past the officers doing their station duties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar entered the Ward Room with the Admiral and noted a long confrence table with several chairs on either side of it, a large viewer on one wall and a series of windows on the opposite wall through which could be seen the Starships and various shuttles, workbees, and support craft buzzing about. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Captain Picard was chatting with his former First Officer, Captain Riker. Captain Valentine was chatting with his wife, T'Bunn, while T'Ruk observed the ships outside. She heard him come in and turned to face Kor'Tar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Commodore, it is agreeable to see you again." She said cooly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar smiled, "It's good to see you too T'Ruk!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Admiral Callahan cleared his throat, getting everyone's attention. "If you would all please be seated, so we can begin." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar and the other officers quickly found their seats and turned to face the Admiral. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I thank you all for showing up on such short notice. We now know where the rebel Klingon Fleet will strike next thanks to Terla's covert mission." Admiral Callahan stood and walked over to the viewer and actvated it showing a representation od Qo'NoS the Klingon Homeworld. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar bristled at this, "What is their plan?" he asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They plan to assassinate the Chancellor, the Emporer, murder the heads of the High Council, and take the Sword of Kahless from it's place of honor on the Emporer's wall. Then they intend to rebiuld the empire from the ground up, and begin campaign of conquering all planets that refuse to become part of the new Empire." Admiral Callahan explained. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"However, since we now know this Chancellor Martok, Emporer Kahless, and the heads of the High Council are in heavily fortified undisclosed location, and the Sword of Kahless is under armed gaurd.We know that this attack is planned for a week from now. This is where we come in. The Empire already has a small reserve fleet in orbit of Qo'Nos but it won't be enough to withstand an invasion of this maginitude. They have recalled their ships from more distant ports, but they will need support until those ships arrive. Commodore Kor'Tar, as the highest ranking officer you will be in command of the fleet." Admiral Callahan continued. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Captain Riker looked troubled, "Sir, if I may say something?" He asked the Admiral. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Go ahead Captain." Admiral Callahan replied. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"With all due respect, if a fleet of Federation starhips are seen warping to Qo'NoS during a tine of hostility between the houses, what's to say they can't just pick us off one by one?" He asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That is a very valid question Captain Riker, which brings me to my next point. Captain T'Bunn, Starbase 375's Captain of Security, will now take the floor." Admiral Callahan  said as he sat down. The slender, blonde Vulcan woman walked up to the viewer with her hands clasped behind her. "Thank you, Admiral." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We have been given a small selection of Klingon Cloaking devices. Commodore Kor'Tar's ship, and Captain Valentine's ship has already been outfitted. The Enterprise, The Titan, and the Memphis are to be fitted today before you leave." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Captain Picard pulled down on the front of the uniform shirt at the waist, "Admiral, is a direct violation of the Treaty of Algeron." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ambassador Taruin of New Romulus has given us special dispensation for use of the cloaks during this mission, Captain." Admiral Callahan explains. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The fleet is ordered orbit Qo'NoS cloaked , and when the Rebel Fleet delcoaks and begins the attack, drop cloak, raises shields, and come out with all phasers and torpedos firing along with the Klingon Empire's planetary defense fleet. The Klingons are our allies and it is important that they are defended at all costs. Any questions?" Admiral Callahan asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The room was silent, "In that case, as soon as the cloaking devices are installed, cloak and set your course for Qo'NoS. Dismissed!" Admiral Callahan ordered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Several hours later- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, The Memphis, Titan, and Enterprise report that their cloaking devices have been installed and are fully functional." Lt. Cmdr. Marshall reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Thank you, Becca. Open a channel to the fleet." Kor'Tar said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Channel open, sir." Lt. Cmdr. Marshall replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar stood from his chair and walked down the steps just behind the helm and ops officers looking at the ships on the screen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Set you course for Qo'NoS and engage at warp 9, as soon the fleet is at warp, we will engage the cloaking devices. Kor'Tar out!" Kor'Tar headed back for his chair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Engage, Lt. Mendez!" Kor'Tar commanded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye, sir!" She replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fleet, lead by the U.S.S. Kahless jumped to warp, each into a flash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Cmdr. Terrell, Engage the cloaking device!" Commander O'Dell ordered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye, sir!" she replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One by one the ships rippled out of view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-several hours later-  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir we have arrived in orbit of Qo'NoS" Lt. Cmdr. Marshall reported. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Put us into standard orbit with the Klingon Defense Fleet." Kor'Tar ordered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye, sir." Lt. Mendez replied. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Status of the cloaking field?" Kor'Tar asked looking over at Lt. Cmdr Terrell. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Stable sir." She replied looking at ther console. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Now we wait." Kor'Tar said.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-5084473403113646930?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/ijk0UuIrHMs" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/5084473403113646930/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2011/06/no-quarter.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/5084473403113646930?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/5084473403113646930?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/ijk0UuIrHMs/no-quarter.html" title="No Quarter" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2011/06/no-quarter.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DEUGR34zfyp7ImA9WhZbE0s.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-2544889377013935063</id><published>2011-06-17T20:03:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-17T20:03:46.087-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2011-06-17T20:03:46.087-07:00</app:edited><title>Long Time</title><content type="html">

Commodore Kor'Tar ordered as he input the locations into the arm console of his chair. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye sir!" They replied nearly in unison. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S.S. Kahless dropped from warp against the black of space with small white and blue pinpricks of light in the distance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Tachyon Flash probes armed, sir." Lisa Terrell reported. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Fire!" Kor'Tar commanded. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Four probes fired from the U.S.S. Kahless, two forward , two aft. They silently departed upon their trajectories till they reached their targets. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Detonate!" Kor'Tar commanded. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commander Terrell keyed the command into her tactical console. The probes exploded in a blinding white flash. Many of the bridge crew sheilded their eyes from the explosion, while Kor'Tar simply stared into it unflinchingly.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Lt. Commander Marshall, begin your sensor sweep of the sector. We will stay here for the next 12 hours, and if nothing is found we will move on to the next sector, and begin the the next sweep." Kor'Tar instructed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye sir." Lt. Cmdr. Marshall replied. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commander Billy O'Dell leaned forward in his chair to the right of Kor'Tar and sighed wearily then glanced over at Kor'Tar "Commodore , a moment of your time please." he said cautiously. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar nodded, "Commander Terrell, you have the bridge." Kor'Tar said as he and Billy left the bridge for his Ready Room. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar sat behind his desk and pressed a button on the replicator "Raktagino, hot." The mug materilized and Kor'Tar grabbed it by the handel and sipped it without blowing on the steaming liquid, searing his tounge and roof of his mouth, Kor'Tar didn't care he relished the pain as well as the flavor. He set the mug down on the glossy table. "Can I get you anything, Billy?" Kor'Tar asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy shook his head, "No sir, but I would like to know what exactly we are doing here? We've been at this for months, searching every inch of Klingon space and surrounding sectors for the rebel Klingon Fleet, and we haven't heard as much as a peep from them. It's my opinion that this is a waste of resources and time. You must see this, sir. Or are you too blinded by the fact that you haven't heard from Terla in all that time? Have you considered that maybe she now sympathies with their cause to take over the Klingon Empire?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar stared at Billy, hearing his words and began seething in rage, "I must have Marcus check my hearing, because I am sure I didn't just hear you call Terla a traitor, did I?" Kor'Tar said in a low growl. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, you must open your mind to the possibility..." Billy began.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Your opinion has been noted. Dismissed!" Kor'Tar said over him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But, sir!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I said GET THE FRAK OUT!!" Kor'Tar bellowed at him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy jumped at this, and quickly left. Kor'Tar picked up his PADD off his table and reviewed the data from the previous, sectors scans, nothing but space dust a few comets, no Tachyon emissions at all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar set the PADD down on the table and picked up his mug of Raktagino, stood and walked over to the long floor length window of his Ready Room, looking past his own reflection in the transparent aluminum. His eyes scanned the darkness and stars as he sipped his coffee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Where are you?" he asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He continued starring out the window for what seemed like hours, when his train of thought was interrupted by a comm signal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Commodore Kor'Tar to the bridge! We've detected a cloaked vessel!" Commander O'Dell reported. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar stood and raced to the bridge, taking his chair. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sheilds up, red alert! All hands to battle stations!!" He commanded. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The red lights began flashing as the klaxons of the alarms blared. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, there is a ship decloaking! Klingon Bird of Prey!!" Commander Terrell reported. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Arm phasers and photon torpedoes." Kor'Tar said as he glared at the ship of traitors charging at them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, I am detecting somthing odd, they appear to be on a build up of some kind..." before Lt. Cmdr. Marshall could finish her sentence the Bird of Prey was engulfed with an explosion, destroying the ship, sending shards of debris in all directions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Kahless was rocked by the shockwave, all the bridge crew held onto their chairs and consoles as the deck vibrated. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What happened? Were they attacked?" Kor'Tar asked walking up beside Lt.Cmdr. Marshall's station. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sensors indicated no damage on the ship before the explosion, this may have been an auto-destruct." She said as a blip appeared on the sensor board, coming from the debris feild. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, there is a shuttle approaching" Lt. Cmdr. Marshall reported, "They are hailing us, sir." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Put it onscreen." Kor'Tar said lookingh up at the main viewer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The screen changed from the floating debris, to that of a bloodied and beaten Klingon woman, "U.S.S. Kahless, this is Tedra house of T'Var! Terla is badly injured and needs immediate medical attention!!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Open the main shuttlebay! Dr. Binion, take a medical team down there, Cmdr. Terrell bring a security team, let's go!" Kor'Tar said heading to the turbolift. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar exited the turbolift and ran to the shuttlebay, he walked in just as the Klingon shuttle breached the force field  and landed on thrusters. The security team approached with their phasers ready, Kor'Tar waved them off, and drew his own phaser. He pressed the button, causing the door to slide aside, and aimed his phaser in front of him, when his eyes spied Terla, with a stab wound to the chest, and very, very pregnant. Kor'Tar's mouth dropped open at this, "Doctor!!" Kor'Tar called out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Marcus Binion came with his Tricorder and medkit in hand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He scanned her " The baby appears to be stable for the time being. She has a stab wound to the chest, and it has knicked her artery, I'll have to do surgery to stop the bleeding." Marcus ripped open her uniform top, exposing her breasts, the wound between them, and her pregnant belly. He began to work on her wound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar left the shuttle with Tedra, "What happened?" He asked her. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"She has been showing for the past month, she was finally ordered to the medical bay so the ship's Doctor could examine the health of the fetus, when it was discovered who the father was ..." She said . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Who is the father?" Kor'Tar asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You are, that was the problem. She was marked as a traitor and the crew mutanied against her, We finally killed most of the P'TaQ's and were able to set the self destruct , when the ship's gunner stabbed her. After I killed him with my Dk'Tagh, I carried her to the shuttlebay and we escaped." She said, watching as Dr. Binion worked on Terla. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What caused you betray your crew so easily?" Kor'Tar asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tedra turned away from Dr. Binion as he worked on Terla to face Kor'Tar. "I was placed by the Empire to keep an eye not only on the crew, but Terla as well, if she showed any sign of being converted by them, I was to kill her. Oh you may want this..." she said reaching into the open cleavageof her uniform shirt pulling out a Klingon PADD and handing it to him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That PADD has all the recent data of the rebel fleet's movemnts for the past six months and future fleet movements projected for the next six months." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar reviewed the data, when he Doctor Binion said, "I've stablized her condition, but I suggest she rests in sickbay overnight so I can monitor her readings. Bring that anti-grav gurney here Nurse Joran." Marcus said. The Orion nurse brought the gurney . Kor'Tar took Terla's legs as Marcus took her shoulders and they carefully placed her on it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla awoke bleary eyed with a start sniffing the air and trying to familarize herself with her surroundings, "Where... where?"  she began to ask. Her eyes finally focused and she saw her mate, Kor'Tar over her, and felt him hold her hand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You are back with me, dear, and our son is fine as are you." He said with a proud glance at her belly as he placed his hand gently upon it, he felt the child kick. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our son... he will be a warrior, like his father." Terla said with a grin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Like his mother as well." Kor'Tar smiled and kissed her restored ridges. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The data that you and Tedra gathered may well turn the tide in this war against the rebels in our favor!" Kor'Tar said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Good, all those heartless P'TaQ's must be stopped." She said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They will be, be'nal. Soon too, after all, we have a wedding to plan." Kor'Tar said smiling. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes we do." she smiled back and squeezed his hand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy entered sickbay. "Sir, may I speak with you, in private?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar nodded, "This way." Kor'Tar motioned for Dr. Binions office. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The door closed behind the men and Kor'Tar sat down behind the desk. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy looked at the glossy surface of the desk then up at Kor'Tar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I feel I owe you an apology, sir. I was out of line earlier." Billy said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, you were out of line... but you were doing your duty as a first officer. But if you should ever question the loyalty of my mate, or myself again..." Kor'Tar began. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Understood sir. May I be the first to say, I'm glad I was wrong, and congradulations." Billy placed a cigar in a light blue wrapper with the Klingon seal printed in red on it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A cigar? I don't understand" Kor'Tar said perplexed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"An old Earth tradition, sir." Billy explained. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I see." Kor'Tar said picking it up getting ready to unwrap it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, you don't smoke it now, you gotta wait till after she gives birth." Billy smiled. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You Earthers have some odd traditions." Kor'Tar said eyeing billy as he held the cigar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That we do sir, that we do." Billy said.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-2544889377013935063?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/xwn3oD8dZOM" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/2544889377013935063/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2011/06/long-time.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/2544889377013935063?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/2544889377013935063?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/xwn3oD8dZOM/long-time.html" title="Long Time" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2011/06/long-time.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DkMASHk7eip7ImA9WhZXFkk.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-2087316385716224215</id><published>2011-05-05T18:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-05T18:14:09.702-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2011-05-05T18:14:09.702-07:00</app:edited><title>25 Random Facts About Yours Truly</title><content type="html">
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LQwirYDofBe2oRXBZaQ-r5nljMo/0/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LQwirYDofBe2oRXBZaQ-r5nljMo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LQwirYDofBe2oRXBZaQ-r5nljMo/1/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/LQwirYDofBe2oRXBZaQ-r5nljMo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;1. I have a habit of cracking my knuckels, as much as it may creep people out I feel that if my joints get stiff I must relieve the pressure on them.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;2. I am 28 years old and have never learned to drive, or gotten my driver's licence.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;3. I have been to North Carolina, Maine, and Las Vegas, Nevada in my travels. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;4. When I first got a computer and had the internet, I quickly made myself a myspace account, with the goal of finding old friends from high school, finding people with similar interests, and perhaps maybe a few of my favorite celebs. The last one of course didn't pan out, but I did find most everyone I was looking for from High School and beyond and I found a plethora of people who enjoy Star Trek as much as I do. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;5. For me coming online and discussing Star Trek with my like minded friends is like attending a daily Star Trek Convention. We can discuss the things we enjoy about the franchise, what bugs us about it, and we can have a generally intellegent debate about things we have different opinions on. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;6. I grew up being raised on country music but quickly found myself getting bored with it, then I discovered a local rock station, 97.1 The Eagle and my mind was opened to the wild and wonderful world of Rock and Roll music of the 1990s, 1980s, and 1970s.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;7. One time while listening to The Eagle with my buddies, they played "Stairway to Heaven". I must have been 17 or 18 at the time and had never heard it before then. The beauty of the song brought tears of joy to my eyes, while the solo near the end made me have an uncontrollable urge to headbang. My friends in formed me it was Led Zeppelin and I made it a personal goal to buy every album I could find on CD. Now over 10 years later I have nearly completed that mission. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;8. I became a Star Trek fan when I was 12 years old during season 5 or 6 of TNG's run on TV. From that time forward I watched every episode I could of all the different series when they were brand new. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;9. After Star Trek Enterprise was cancelled I gave myself a new goal in life, to collect every Trek series on DVD. It took me well over a year searching Amazon, Ebay, and Trektoy.com/forum for deals, but I finally accomplished my mission in August of last year.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;10. I am an out of practice artist, mainly because for one, I am my own worst critic, and for two I have simply been too distracted but I am trying to get back into drawing but my muse rarely strikes like it used to.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;11. I used to go for long distance walks, one day roughly about 10 years ago I walked from my home to a point about 16 miles away and back agian. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;12. Red is my favorite color, it is bold and powerful and it crackles with the energy of life. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;13. When opening a pack of cigarettes, I take one out and turn it upside down and put it back in the pack, and save that cigarette for the last. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;14. I once was Babtist, then we began going to Christian church, before we stopped going at all. I quickly became jaded and angry and became an Athiest, and I stayed that way for a long time. Then I spent 9 months in jail for assulting my father in an altercation we had and I had time to think. I rediscovered my faith I had lost, and learned about myself a bit more than I had known before. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;15. I wouldn't describe myself as a "true" Cristian, but more of an agnostic with Chirstian leanings. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;16. I have 3 tattoos and want more.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;17. When opening a new pack of smokes, I use a patterned system to pack them. 5 hits on the filter end, flip it around and give 5 hits to filter end again, then 4 and 4, 3 and 3, 2 and 2, and 1 and 1. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;18. My hair has gotten so long I generally will keep it tied back unless I'm sleeping or about to jump in the shower. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;19. I've always wanted to learn how to play the electric guitar, but have never had one. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;20. I keep my keys on a keyring attached to my wallet, as result I haven't lost my keys for 5 or 6 years running. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;21. I have a chair I can sit in when I go outside to smoke, but generally I will pace back in forth through our apartment's breezeway. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;22. I tried some Earl Grey tea once, and found out that it wasn't my cup of tea. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;23. I take my coffee black with 3 sugars. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;24. When typing out the number for this answer, I typed 14 instead of 24 at first .&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;25. I once appeared in a play as a kid called The War with Grandpa.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-2087316385716224215?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/gRrm5ZTct0M" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/2087316385716224215/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2011/05/25-random-facts-about-yours-truly.html#comment-form" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/2087316385716224215?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/2087316385716224215?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/gRrm5ZTct0M/25-random-facts-about-yours-truly.html" title="25 Random Facts About Yours Truly" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2011/05/25-random-facts-about-yours-truly.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D08MQX07eyp7ImA9Wx9UFUQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-7449888107141930152</id><published>2011-02-13T03:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-13T03:18:00.303-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2011-02-13T03:18:00.303-08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Star Trek Toys" /><title>Star Trek: Designing the Toys, A Behind the Scenes Documentary</title><content type="html">
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0_4eVnG8USoead1UvfFaiGKZEk8/0/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0_4eVnG8USoead1UvfFaiGKZEk8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0_4eVnG8USoead1UvfFaiGKZEk8/1/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0_4eVnG8USoead1UvfFaiGKZEk8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Had a thought earlier. To me it would be fascinating to see a documentary film crew go and spent months and or years, how ever long it would take, to see the items we all collect and admire go from the first preliminary pitch, to the design phase, using whatever mediums they use, to the sculpting, hand painting of the prototype.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then in a quick break area give a quick break down of the history of Trek toys, from the early parachuting Kirk and Spock figurines, to the Mego empire, to Galoob, Playmates, Art Asylum, and finally DST.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See something like a starship go from an idea scribbled on a scrap of paper to what would become the finshed product. Visiting the facotries over seas and seeing the plastic being poured into the molds and and the curing process (sped up of course).  Seeing just how adding the paint apps is done. The wiring of the electronics inside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interview the people at DST ask them about what they love, how they got into making toys and what their hopes are for the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then show the desinging of the packaging and show the items being loaded into the boxes, show the people who tie the amazingly long twist ties which hold our items in place. Then show the cases being loaded onto the ships and the tell the real length and time it takes for the vessels to go from foreign shores to the U.S. Customs area, and how long it takes to clear that. Then to the distrubuters which the ships begin their journeys to the comic shops, and to the online retailers to fulfill the orders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then begin interviewing the adult collectors. Get into their mind, How long have they been trek fans for? What was their first Trek toy? What possesses a grown up to collect toys? I am reminded of a message I got from a truth box app on my facebook page last month. Some one said annonymously to me on it, that I needed to stop collecting Star Trek dolls, and start being responsible and "grow up". I am very responsible, I take care of my disabled mother, cook our meals , clean the kitchen afterward, take out the trash, do the laundry, and countless other things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes people don't undertsand us Trekkies/Trekkers , and they understand thoseof us who collect toys based off of it even less. To me Star Trek has always represented a hopefull view of what mankind can achieve if we put our minds to it and get beyond our petty differences in order to get to our common future. Nobel characters doing heroic deeds, using well designed weapons and tools in order to do their jobs. Walking down well designed sets to represent the even better designed starships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then after years of waiting show the collectors who have been anxiously awaiting the ships, figures, or role play items and show them accepting the package from the postal workers and tearing into the box to see their item finally as a tangible piece of their collection. Show the people who keep the Items Mint in the Box , show the people who can't wait to free the items from the packages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then take everything back to AA/DST with some closing remarks from DST Chuck for us fans, if this is to be the last few breaths of life from our favorite company as many of us suspect, give us a peek inside just this once. I know Non Disclosure Agreements may prevent this right now, but they could film this and later after the items are released , release the film. It'd make for an interesting two hours I think for us collectors, though it is mostlikely not very likely to happen, it is something interesting to consider.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-7449888107141930152?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/7fhoClizyow" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/7449888107141930152/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2011/02/star-trek-designing-toys-behind-scenes.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/7449888107141930152?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/7449888107141930152?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/7fhoClizyow/star-trek-designing-toys-behind-scenes.html" title="Star Trek: Designing the Toys, A Behind the Scenes Documentary" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2011/02/star-trek-designing-toys-behind-scenes.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;C0QFQHY_fyp7ImA9Wx9WEEo.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-1134011562611938232</id><published>2010-11-23T00:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-14T22:01:51.847-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2011-01-14T22:01:51.847-08:00</app:edited><title>The Gauntlet</title><content type="html">

Kor'Tar deflected his attack with his bat'leth, knocking the monster back, and sliced him accross the chest, causing him to dematerilize. Kor'Tar watched as he did when he heard an attacker appraoch from behind. He threw his bat'leth aside and drew his mek'leth from the holster under his baldric chain, using it to stab his attack as it tried to strangle Kor'Tar. Another monster dropped from the structure beside Kor'Tar and he lifted the blade to attack him when the entire deck shuddered and knocked both Kor'Tar and the monster to the ground. The hologrid fritzed and blinked out , cauing the jungle setting to disappear being replaced by the cold black walls with yellow gridlines of the holodeck. The deck shuddered again, Kor'Tar picked himself off the floor and ran to the holodeck arch. He pressed the contorls on the comm panel, "Report! What the hell is going on bridge?" Kor'Tar asked .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Commodore, we are under attack. All hands are at battle stations!" Lt. Cmdr. Lisa Terrell reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Understood, I'm on my way to the bridge!" Kor'Tar replied .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why did Terrell respond? I thought I left Commander O'Dell in command of the bridge. Kor'Tar thought as he ran through coridoors as the vibrated and shook around him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar arrived on the bridge still in his exercise attire, as Lisa Terrel stood from the Captain's chair so Kor'Tar could sit down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Where is Billy? I thought I left him in command." Kor'Tar asked as another volley of torpedos came in shaking the bridge and making sparks fly from the consoles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She was about to answer when she was interrupted by S'Vinn , the Andorian tactical officer, "Sir, we are taking heavy damage to the Engineering section!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar enraged, said to Lt Rosa Mendez, "Turn our primary hull into their attack! S'Vinn lock quantum torpedos onto the attacking vessel."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Kahless moved forward , bringing it's saucer section in  to deflect the torpedos hitting the engineering hull. 4 quantum torpedos launched , sending bright blue streaks to the attacking bird of prey, tearing into the hull causing small expolsions and fires from the impacts . The bird of prey began to cloak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They are withdrawing, sir" S'Vinn said triumphantly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Good, now where was Commander O'Dell?" Kor'Tar said to Terrell the annoyance in his voice rising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He was in command, and as soon as the attack began he left his post for the turbolift without saying anything to anyone." she said sensing her commanding officer's anger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, we have a report from Engineering, there was a plasma fire in the jefferies tube, it has been extingiushed, but there has been four injuries including Commander Teydroc, he has severe plasma burns to his arms, face and chest. The injured crewmembers have been beamed to sickbay." S'vinn reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Go be with your husband," Kor'Tar said to Lisa.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Computer, what is the location of Commander O'Dell?" Kor'Tar asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Commander William O'Dell is in his quarters." The female voice of the computer replied.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You have the bridge Lt. S'Vinn!" Kor'Tar said leaving for the Turbolift with Lisa Terrell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sickbay!" she instructed the lift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Deck 8" Kor'Tar commanded the lift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Do not worry Lisa, I will find answers for you." Kor'Tar said attempting to console his second officer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lisa dried her tears on the sleeve of her uniform. "I'm not worried about answers right now Commodore, I'm worried about my husband."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The turbolift slowed and stopped just outside the sickbay and the doors opened, Kor'Tar put his hand on her shoulder, "Marcus is a good Doctor, I'm sure Teydroc will be recovering in no time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Thank you sir" she said before leaving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The doors closed and the lift resumed it's motion to deck 8.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It slowed again and the doors opened. Kor'Tar walked down the coridoor passing crewmembers as they were busy with repairs to the EPS systems and power conduits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar arrived in front of Commander O'Dell's quarters and attempted to open the door only to be denied by the sound of the lock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Computer, overide security lock on cabin 8174 , clearnce Kor'Tar, whiskey, tango, foxtrot, one, one, six, red." Kor'Tar said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The computer beeped in reply and the doors slid open, the quarters were dark, decorated with paintings and staues of owls. Billy was beneath a console gripping a bottle of vodka in one hand and a phaser in the other. Billy lifted the hand with the phaser shaking trying to aim it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"AT EASE COMMANDER!" Kor'Tar shouted at him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy dropped the phaser and took a swig from the bottle. Kor'Tar grabbed his shoulders firmly and pulled him out from under the console.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What the hell has gotten into you? Why did you leave the bridge in combat situation? Did you know that there was a plasma fire in engineering due to your inactions? Four crew members including Lisa Terrell's husband Teydroc are now in sickbay recovering from their burns? You had better have a good expliantion Commander before I charge you with derilection of duty!" Kor'Tar said seething.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy cringed at the shouting. "I been having flashbacks sir, from the Dominion War." He said with a shaky voice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"From the incident at colony 4077 near the old Cardassian Border, when the Dominion attacked it?" Kor'Tar said calling up the memory of the report of it in his head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"From what I recall you were a hero that day , you saved over a dozen officers and men with a single hand phaser. You were awarded Kirk's Medal of Valor for your actions." Kor'Tar said .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" You mean this?" Billy pulled out the black box containing the medal and put on the table, he pushed it to Kor'Tar, "Keep it, I don't want it, it only serves to remind me of what happened."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar looked at the box, and opened it, the latinum medal with Captain Kirk's face embossed on it on one side , and Constitution Class U.S.S. Enterprise on the reverse gleamed in the light from the desk lamp. Kor'Tar closed the box and set it back down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How long have you been having these flashbacks?" Kor'Tar asked him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Nearly every day since the attack , some days are better than others , but days like today it all comes screaming back to me like it was happening now." Billy said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"As of right now you are relieved of duty, I order you to report to Counselor Styles for a course of treatment. After 3 weeks you will be evaulated and you had better be rerady to go back on duty or resign your commission, do I make myself clear, Commander?" Kor'Tar said sternly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Crystal clear, sir." Billy said defeated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Report to Counselor Styles office for your first appointment ." Kor'Tar said pointing at the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye sir!" Billy said walking to the door still carrying the bottle of vodka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar took the bottle from his arms, "Leave the rum here" he said placing it on the table.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy arrived at Counselor Johnathan Styles office and entered, Counselour Styles was working on his desktop computer, he turned it off. "Have a seat Commander." he said kindly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy sat fidigiting, "So how are we gonna play this? You reach into the dark recesses of my mind only to find out all my issues stem from a hatred of my inner child?" he asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Styles smiled and chuckled slightly, "No... not quite. Your file shows that you are suffering from PTSD , not surrprising after the attack of Colony 4077. You are going to help me design a Holo Threapy program to help you deal with the symptoms. I have the design and layout of the colony compound, and the face and personality profiles for it's crew. I have the report of the incident , I just need you to fill in the details."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy yanked on his uniform collar with his finger, "For what purpose?" He asked as he broke into a cold sweat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We are going to recreate the conditions of the Colony attack, in order to desinsitize your senses to it over the next three weeks." Styles said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Don't you understand? I barely escaped from there with my life? I can't go back to that!" He said anguished.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Billy, it is either this, or you resign your commission. Will you at least give it a try?" Styles asked earnestly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ok....ok...fine. I'll try it." Billy said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Tell me a break down of what happened on the day of the attack from the time you woke up." Counselor Styles said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy walked into the holodeck with his medkit in hand along with Counselor Styles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Computer , access file O'Dell , Colony 4077, program one." Counselor Styles instructed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The computer beeped in reply, The setting for the Colony's medical building appeared surrounded by jungles and hills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Program ready." The female computer voice replied in it's flat tone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'll be right outside if you need anything Billy." Counselor Styles said to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm not sure if I'm ready for this." Billy said looking at the medical facility and shaking slightly, "But, screw it . I'll try anything to keep my job and rank."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Counselor Styles nodded and patted him on the shoulder, before leaving .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy swallowed hard and took a deep breath , and counted back from ten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Computer, begin program." he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wind began blowing cauing the leaves in the trees to rustle, the birds were tweeting their sing songs completely oblivious to the terror that was about to ensue. Billy walked to the door of the medical facility, placing his hand on the ID lock tablet which scanned his hand. A green light flashed on . "Good morning Doctor O'Dell" the female computer voice said as the door slid open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy walked inside to the trauma area , seeing row after row of injured officers being treated for their wounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Doctor O'Dell! Glad your here! There was an attack in a nearby system a few hours ago, we have several disruptor burns, broken bones, lacerations , and contusions to deal with." Nurse Russo stated .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Who is the the most severly injured nurse?" Billy asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nurse Russo led him to a bio-bed with a young Bolian male on it with a burnt and shredded uniform on writhing in pain and covered in blue blood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Lt. J.G. Lox has several broken bones and internal bleeding." Nurse Russo said looking over the young man with concern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Get me 2 CCs of Cordrzine to treat his pain, the bone kintter, and the dermal regenerator" Billy said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye Doctor." The nurse said as she gathered the tools and brought them back on a tray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy scanned the young mans injuries with his tricorder, and gave him the hypospray, which eased his pain. He went to work healing the broken bones and healing the internal bleeding . Then finally the healed the cuts on his body, just leaving the dried blue blood behind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There, your all fixed up. Now go get yourself cleaned up and get some rest for the next 24 hours," Billy said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The young man nodded, "Thank you Doctor." he said and left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Billy walked to the next critical care patient and began working on his wounds when suddenly 35 Jem'Hadar soldiers teleported in and began firing at any one and every one. Billy dropped the bone knitter and rolled himself behind a console attached to the wall and he curled himself into a little ball. He tapped his combadge and said nothing but allowed the sound of the phasers firing and the screaming young men and women dying around him go into the security office's comm unit . Shortly the security team rushed in and had a fire fight with the Jem'Hadar he saw the officers go past him. One young woman was cut down by the Jem'Hadar's phaser beams , her now lifeless body lay there with her eyes wide open and her mouth agape, as smoke rose from her wound and blood oozed out from it. Her name was Ensign Candice Fallon, she had dark auburn hair, and was barely 18 years old. She enjoyed a strawberry ice cream from the replicator each day after lunch. Billy would sometimes get a shipment of real strawberry ice cream sent in from Earth on special order for her. She was like his adopted kid sister, and now she was dead , still clutching her phaser in her hand tightly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fear was now replaced with burning rage for the attackers in Billy's mind. The crawled out from under the console , staying low, and quickly pried the phaser from Candice's still warm dead hand, and he got back behind the console. she had it set for stun , he adjusted the settings to kill. and waited till the Jem'Hadar's phasers went silent and they thought they hand the upper hand. He set the phaser to wide beam then took a deep breath. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He stuck his hand gripping the phaser up over the console, "EAT PHASER YOU COLD BASTARDS!!" he screamed as he fired . The wide dispersal beam struck all 35 Jem'Hadar soliders, and all of them dropped like flys. As soon as they dropped and the smoke began to clear the surving officers began to get up if they could ... 11 in all . Around them the lifeless bodies of the Jem'Hadar and his colleges, and his pateints. The grim reality set in to him, more than on the day of the attack, but now it seemed almost easier somehow, having been through it all before. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"PROGRAM COMPLETE" The lifeless female computer voice said, and the now sortched medical facility was replaced by the gridlines of the holodeck. He stood in the middle of the large room , still drenched in sweat, adreniline still surging, his heart nearly beating out of his chest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He heard the door of the holodeck open behind him and footsteps approach. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Would you like to discuss how your feeling now, after reliving the attack?" Asked Counselor Styles . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy just stared horrified at the wall, he began to speak, with his voice barely above whisper, "I signed on to be a healer, not a killer.These people here at the colony wern't just my coworkers, after all we had been through together we were like family. I never told my family about what really went on here, or anyone else other than when I was debrifed. It just hurt too damn much. I tried my damndest to push what happened out of my mind, to forget it. But a sound, a smell, a vibration would cause it all to rush back in like it was fresh. I took to drinking vodka, not that synthahol crap, to numb the pain. My liver has now been pickled after 15 years , but at least feeling it ache lets me know I'm still alive. I couldn't stand the thought of practicing medicine any more after that day so I became an operations officer, trying to live my life normally, but the flasbacks and nightmares kept bringing me back here." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Johnathan out his hand on his shoulder, "You made your first step today in dealing with these feelings, the rest we'll take together. Computer Exit." The holodeck doors opened with it's electric whine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two officers walked out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-1134011562611938232?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/qIuhKvthH9o" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/1134011562611938232/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/11/gauntlet.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/1134011562611938232?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/1134011562611938232?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/qIuhKvthH9o/gauntlet.html" title="The Gauntlet" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/11/gauntlet.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DkQFRHY9fyp7ImA9Wx5aGUo.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-4596044912262606597</id><published>2010-11-16T22:11:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-16T22:11:55.867-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-11-16T22:11:55.867-08:00</app:edited><title>Playlist Survey</title><content type="html">

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/dmE4XqOi1yzNAavBKYFqUN-yPZY/0/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/dmE4XqOi1yzNAavBKYFqUN-yPZY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/dmE4XqOi1yzNAavBKYFqUN-yPZY/1/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/dmE4XqOi1yzNAavBKYFqUN-yPZY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;1) I can't stand to listen to people argue and bicker, I have to listen to my parents do that all the time and makes me tense and my muscels tight. The only reason they got married was because my mom became pregnant with me and my Dad wanted to do the "right thing". But now they are married and can't stand each other, and won't divorce for their religious convictions. I would have much rather them gotten divorced years ago and have visitations with them seperately than have had to endure the constant bitching and mutual loathing they have for each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Star Trek is my main escape from all that and has been since I was 12 years old. Stories about the human race thriving and getting past it's petty differences, over race, religion, gender, age, and economnic status. Just going out and exploring to learn more about the universe, the vastly different cultures, and to learn something about ourselves in the process vicarously through the characters. I collected every episode of every series on DVD and every film. I have a fleet of starships, army of action figures, several books and magazines  on the subject. I even write my own Star Trek fan fiction starring Commodore Kor'Tar a character of my own creation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Reality TV is the scourge of well written drama and comedy IMHO. I would much rather watch a well written story with talented actors and actresses portraying their characters in scenes, than to see idiotic "pretty" people being filmed ala Big Brother or survivor style. They  just turn my stomach. Also those games are all about winning so it makes people turn into two faced back stabbers , really turning them into the lowest of the low. There is nothing redeeming or enlightening in reality TV, it is more like the human predilection to slow down in traffic to look at a car accident, or for a crowd to gather around and cheer on two people fighting. It is very basic , very ugly needs that these shows fullfill, that requires very little thought to produce or to watch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Stories about the human condition, that hold up a mirror to society are what really get's my attention, For instance, in Deep Space Nine season 3 there is a two part time travel episode called "Past Tense" Where Commander Sisko, Dr. Bashir and Lt. Dax are transported to 2024 in San Fransisco. The not too distant future. Homelessness is a bigger problem than it is today, so the goverment takes low wage housing areas and fences them off, calling them sanctuary districts . so the homless and poor are out of sight and out of mind. Sisko takes the place of Gabriel Bell and the homeless population rises up against the goverment authorities in the "Bell Riots" So their voices can be heard, and the human race as a result learns from the mistake and tries to prevent it from ever happening again. When thatepisode was being produced L.A. was trying to turn ghetto area's in "havens" for the homless, so it was basically happening how they were predicting as they were writing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5)Wow, writing paragraphs that are waaaay too long apparently lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6)I am unusally in that I do not like the sun becuase it is blindingly bright, I'd much rather it be cloudy and rainy. The sound of rain falling is relaxing to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) I can't stand the cold, I will generally wear a coat if its 65 degrees or below outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) I love classic rock, with Led Zeppelin being my timeless favorite. The melody of the songs reminds me of the random humming I used to do as child to lull myself to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) Sometimes when trying to sleep I rock myself. It seems disturbing to most people, but it is an unconsouiss thing I have done since before I was born so I am told .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) I haven't had a hair cut in nearly 4 years&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11) The main reason I am keeping my hair long and my beard bushy is becuase it is mother nature's free scarf against the cold wind lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12) I am nearly 28 years old and still don't know how to drive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13) If I knew how to drive and if money was no object, my dream car would be a shelby mustang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14)  I need to stop smoking, but I have gotten down to about half a pack a day, which helps keep my emotions in check when I need to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15) I haven't had a drink since the summer of 2008, only to respect my parents and their wishes that I do not drink while living with them, though I have been tempted to on numerous occasions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16) I haven't smoked any weed for nearly 4 years now. I had my fun trying it , but after awhile it juat lost it's appeal to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17) I have 3 finished tattoos and one that still needs some work done on it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18) I have a cat named Smokey who I saved off the streets over 10 years ago as a kitten, followed soon in the next year by Katie who was saved off the streets by my Mom and Dad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19) My shoes are over two years old and are falling apart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20) Anytime I buy new shoes I go for plain black low top shoes for crews work shoes with a slip resistant sole, just so I have one less thing to worry about .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21) First time I tried to play teather ball in the 4th or 5th grade I nearly knocked myself out becuase i didn't step back after hitting the ball.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22) I can cook many food items, thanks to my mother and grandmother, and that is one thing I am thankful for, that I can cook a homecooked meal instead of having to resort to opening a can of soup or top ramen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23) Sometimes I'll just sit in a room with no radio, no TV just to enjoy the sound of silence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24) Sometimes all the quiet gets to me and I have to listen to some music or have TV on&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25) I log onto facebook when I wake up and log off just before bed, so yeah, waaaay too much time maybe lol&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-4970533559303900611?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/6UZxAaxikKc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/4970533559303900611/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/11/25-random-things-about-me-decidedly-ooc.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/4970533559303900611?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/4970533559303900611?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/6UZxAaxikKc/25-random-things-about-me-decidedly-ooc.html" title="25 random things about me, decidedly OOC" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/11/25-random-things-about-me-decidedly-ooc.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;Ck4ER3Yyfyp7ImA9Wx5aEko.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-7105936586354031771</id><published>2010-11-08T18:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-08T18:48:26.897-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-11-08T18:48:26.897-08:00</app:edited><title>Commodore Kor'Tar - The Action Figure!</title><content type="html">

He has been making Voyager action figures since Diamond Select Toys have basically said that there are no plans to make Voyager figures anytime in the near future. So I got to looking at his work, and I liked it. So I asked him if he could make one of Kor'Tar for me. He asked for a large clear pic of Kor'Tar so I sent him the one above. We discussed price, and it was afforadable for me, so he went to work on his computer to make a greyscale CGI 3D image of it. He sent me 3 angles of the sample , and it looked awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I then sent off a Nemesis Worf to him in order to do a head swap. He got Worf a few days later and a week or two later the head arrived from the company which he submitted the CGI images to, but it was a bit small for the body, so he ordered a larger one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While waiting for the larger one, he got into a car accident and broke his right shoulder, so he'd be out of commission for a while. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well he got back to me a few weeks ago and said the new head arrived and it fits the body great, he also said he'd try his hand at touching up a few of his other customs to get his dexterity back, and if he felt confident enough he'd paint Kor'Tar's head. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I got a message from him on Trektoy with the following title "Kor'Tar Lives!!!" He told me he got it painted and sealed. He said he was waiting on his camera to charge and he'd take some pics of it, and after letting the paint and sealant cure for 3 days, he'd send it off to me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Behold...COMMODORE KOR'TAR THE ACTION FIGURE!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TNi2MUXvlsI/AAAAAAAAADY/fINXL9Iaz_4/s1600/A1.2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TNi2MUXvlsI/AAAAAAAAADY/fINXL9Iaz_4/s320/A1.2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537376064595007170" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TNi2MKtiuNI/AAAAAAAAADQ/AOl2Fxa4yVc/s1600/A1.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TNi2MKtiuNI/AAAAAAAAADQ/AOl2Fxa4yVc/s320/A1.1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537376062002084050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TNizeqNn6DI/AAAAAAAAADI/75EV1ZAQChE/s1600/Commodore%2BKortar.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TNizeqNn6DI/AAAAAAAAADI/75EV1ZAQChE/s320/Commodore%2BKortar.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537373081160902706" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-7105936586354031771?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/oArkm5uGph0" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/7105936586354031771/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/11/commodore-kortar-action-figure.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/7105936586354031771?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/7105936586354031771?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/oArkm5uGph0/commodore-kortar-action-figure.html" title="Commodore Kor'Tar - The Action Figure!" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TNi2NPVM4mI/AAAAAAAAADg/-ATdHz5lYKk/s72-c/A1.3.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/11/commodore-kortar-action-figure.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;A0EAQXc6cCp7ImA9Wx5WEUk.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-7750882392977648699</id><published>2010-09-22T03:00:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-22T03:00:40.918-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-09-22T03:00:40.918-07:00</app:edited><title>Going Strong</title><content type="html">

The sound of the noise of the ruckus inside poured in from the doors. Klingons drinking, singing, fighting, and generally being much too loud for the ears of anyone but fellow Klingons. Terla walked inside the dark, smokey establishment, and found an empty seat at the bar and sat down. A heavyset Klingon bartender approached her as he polished a goblet with a dirty rag. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What do you want to drink?" He asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Blood Wine." she replied. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He took the goblet which he had been polishing and set it before her, it was filthy still, both inside and out, and he filled it to the brim with the Blood Wine. Terla picked up the goblet and downed about half of it, "Leave the bottle." she told him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He set it down on the bar and went on to the next customer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla continued drinking the Blood Wine when she felt a hand on her butt, she swallowed what was left of the blood wine in her mouth and turned around slowly, to see a highly intoxicated Klingon, "You have the the look of a woman looking for a good time, why don't you come back to my place and a good time we both shall have." he slurred as he moved his hand from her butt to her left breast and squeezed it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla grabbed the male's hand and pinched the pressure point sending the man into agony, she twisted his arm behin his back, and she drew her dk'tagh from her belt and held it to his throat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The best thing you can do as of right now, is to head back to your home , while you are still able to walk!" she growled into his ear before slamming his head against the bar, knocking him out cold on the floor. She spat upon him, "P'TaQ!", and grabbed her goblet, finishing what was in her cup. She picked up the bottle and moved to a spot further down the bar, as two Klingon bouncers picked up the drunken Klingon and dragged him out the door, depositing him onto the cold wet street. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla watched amused , but showed no outer sign of it as she poured herself more wine in her goblet . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Klingon male appraoched her who seemed to have his wits about him. "I feel I must congradulate you for the way you dispatched that lowly dog!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla nodded, "After the week I had, I have no time for targshit!" she said as she took another sip from her cup. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What happened?" the stranger asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My house has been tossed from the High Council for not going with their constant peace overtures with the Empire's suppossed allies. I tell you, my house was once a proud house, over a century ago, we had clout, power, but now the Empire is run by burrucrats who have a new definition of honor to fit their beliefs of this century. They are all weak incompetent fools if you ask me!" Terla said adding anger to her voice so she would be more believed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Those are bold statements to be made by anyone in public...I'm sorry in all the haste I never caught your name." The Klingon male replied. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Lomek, House of Dengar the dishonored" She stated over her goblet as she downed what remained of it's contents before pouring herself another glass, emptying the bottle. "What is yours?" she asked as she sipped from the goblet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Renkel, House of Meltzer the dishonored. You are among friends here, come I would like to introduce you to someone!" Renkel said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla finished the contents of her goblet, "I would be honored. Show the way!" she replied with a false glee as she fought back the bile rising in her thoat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Renkel led her through the bar to a back office which had two large doors closing it off from the noise of the bar. Renkel pressed the door chime. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Enter!" came the answer from inside. The doors slid apart with a whine of metal scraping against metal. Terla and Renkel stepped inside the small office. Inside was a small metal desk which was topped by deck plating which was riddled with holes, behind the desk was an aged graying warrior, former General Koraga he was studying his desktop computer console , and switched it off. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Renkel, welcome brother!" he smiled a toothy grin. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I see you have brought a guest!" he said with a smile. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am General..." he began.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Koraga, songs are still sung about your many victories!" Terla said with mock admiration. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Are they? Since my house was disbanded from the High Council, I thought all 'honorable' warriors were suppossed to treat me as if I never exsisted. Including the songs of my honorable deeds." he said eyeing her with skeptisim. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla smiled, "A warrior like you cannot be brushed away like yesterday's refuse. I still sing the songs of your battles, no matter what the high council may think." She said stroking his ego as best as she could manage. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koraga smiled at this then his face got stone cold serious, "Tell me the story of your house, and how the current goverment has mistreated it." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla relayed the tale which she had been practicing on the voyage to Qo'NoS. After she was through relating the tale, Koraga was silent for a moment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Another family, dishonored from the misdeeds of the High Council. Tell me Lomek, would you like to not only have your house's name of honor restored, but also regain your seat on the high council?" He asked . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He bought it!  Terla triumphantly thought to herself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I would like nothing more than that!" She said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What if I told you, that if you follow me, you can have all you lost back?" Koraga asked her. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I would be very interested, what must I do?" Terla asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You will take command of a Bird of Prey, and with the help of my fleet over throw the current High Council, defeat Chancellor Martok , General Worf, and the Federation lap dog Commodore Kor'Tar." He said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hearing her mate's name escape the lips of Koraga, sent a surge of rage through Terla, she wanted to rip his throat out and wear it on her belt, but she pushed the urge to kill down into the pit of her stomach . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They are as good as dead!" she said with a toothy sneer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I feel you will be an assest to our fleet Lomek!" Koraga said with pride. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Renkel, show Captain Lomek to her new command at hanger 22!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes Milord! This way Lomek!" Renkel opened the door. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They both exited from the office and out the backdoor of the bar, which the large hangar resided. Over 3 stories tall, and nearly a kilometer wide. Renkel took a controller from his belt and hit a button, causing the large door to raise, light poured into the dark hanger, showing many Bird's of Prey in various states of repair and disrepair with matince workers and engineers working furiously on them like warrior ants scrambling after a child kicked the mound of dirt. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Renkel led her through the hangar to the ramp of a Bird of Prey which the workers were putting the finshing touches on with their plasma welding torches. Renkel led her up the ramp, "Welcome aboard the Nunan, she has served the empire for nearly ninety years, until her commander was disbanded from the empire that is." He slapped one of the consoles which respond with a metal clunk sound. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"She is a solid ship, and has a solid crew of 12 warriors, and you are a solid warrior who will lead them into victory or Sto Vo Kor, of course that will be your affair!" Koraga said slapping her on the shoulder. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla went to the large captain's chair and sat down, "Victory or death is the vow I take!" she said as the tested out the disruptor's gunsight viewer which dropped from the cieling and over her shoulders , she pressed the same button and sent it back to where it came. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Good, see that you make good on your vow, for if you should be captured in dishonor, if any of our warriors find you, you be killed on sight! The Nunan has about another 12 hours before she will be ready to take off, that will give you time to gather your belongings and have them transported aboard." Koraga said before leaving. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla made her way to her cabin, seeing her luggage had just arrived. She locked the door and sat upon thecold metal shelf of a bed, and reached into her gauntlet at the end of her glove and pulled out a small transponder and plugged it into the side of her desktop computer consoles, which scrambled her outgoing signal to match that of subspace interferreance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar paced the bridge of the Kahless as it orbited cloaked around Qo'NoS. He didn't like playing...as Doctor Binion had so eloquintly put it, "the waiting game". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He walked over to Lt.Cmdr. Lisa Terrell's ops console when it began beeping, she keyed the controls, "Sir, text message from Terla. She has infiltrated Koraga's rank successfully, and has been assigned to the Klingon Bird of Prey Nunan. She has sent the identifing codes of her ship."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar smiled, "Good, transfer the codes to Lt. S'Vinn's tactical console." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"S'Vinn! If we should encounter her ship in the upcoming battles..." Kor'Tar began.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Damage, but do not destroy! Aye sir!" The Andorian security officer replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar sat down in the Captain's chair, "Helm, set a course to rendavous with the fleet, warp 9!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rosa Mendez hit the controls with a quickness, "Aye sir, course layed in!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Execute!" Kor'Tar ordered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Kahless lept to warp in the darkness.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-7750882392977648699?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/0cAncaEK4sw" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/7750882392977648699/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/09/going-strong.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/7750882392977648699?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/7750882392977648699?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/0cAncaEK4sw/going-strong.html" title="Going Strong" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/09/going-strong.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D0UERns8cSp7ImA9Wx5WEEs.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-2229730281241668859</id><published>2010-09-21T03:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-21T03:33:27.579-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-09-21T03:33:27.579-07:00</app:edited><title>The Shape of Things to Come</title><content type="html">

He reached for the cup of Raktigeno which went cold a long time ago, and poured out the contents of the cup in the sink in his private head, then he sat back down behind the desk and poured himself a steaming hot cup of the Klingon Coffee. He took a wiff of the strong aroma as the heat of the coffee warmed his hands, he took a sip, allowing the coffee to sear his lips, tounge, and throat on the way down, warming his innards from the assault of the ships cold enviroment controls. He stood from his chair and stepped closer to the floor length window of his ready room, watching the stars streaking past, losing himself in the thoughts of their current mission, went his train of throught was broken by a comm signal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Commodore, we are less than 2 minutes away from the Briar Patch." Commander O'Dell reported from the bridge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar finished his mug of Raktageno and set the empty mug on his desk. He headed out to the bridge and sat down in his chair, "Bring us out of warp Lt. Mendez, and take us to one third impulse power." Kor'Tar ordered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rosa keyed the commands into her helm console "Aye sir, we have dropped out of warp and are now at one third impulse power. We have arrived at the edge of the Briar Patch, sir." She reported in her thick Brooklyn accent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Onscreen." Kor'Tar ordered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The viewsceen shifted to show the opening of the cloud , the swirling matter and remains of supernovae filled the viewscreen with their fluxuating brown and orange hues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm reading false vacuum fluctuations, metaphasic radition readings are off the scale, nasty place to be holding a rendavous." Commander O'Dell said after reffering to the readings on his side console.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"General Worf is familar with the area, and he decided it would be a good place to start." Kor'Tar replied to Billy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, I am reading General Worf's fleet coming into the Briar Patch to our aft, we are receiving a coded message from the lead ship." Lt. Lisa Terrell reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Onscreen" Kor'Tar ordered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The image of the undulating gases was soon replaced with that of General Worf and Chancellor Martok.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Commodore Kor'Tar, The Chancellor and I require an audiance with you, and your mate Terla. Permission to beam aboard?", The General asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Granted, sir." Kor'Tar replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'tar raised from his chair and he began walking to the turbolift doors with Terla, "You have the bridge, Number One."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar and Terla arrived in the Kahless transporter room , Cheif George Sulu worked on his console, "Recieving the patterns of the General and Chancellor now, sir!" he reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Energize!" Kor'Tar commanded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two forward transporter pads illuminated with the sparkling sillouttes of the two Klingons finally materializing them seconds later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar and Terla both pounded their chests in traditional Klingon salute at the Chancellor, "Welcome aboard Chancellor, General. If you'll come with me, I'll show you the breifing room."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Martok and Worf stepped down from the Transporter pad and went with Kor'Tar and Terla to the briefing room, Chancellor Martok removed his medal filled cloak of office and hung over one of the chairs around the lit table and gazed for a long moment at the painting of Kahless which hung on the wall, then turned back enraged. "These P'TaQ's are twisting Kahless' own words for their own dishonorable ends!" he exclaimed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I beg your pardon?" Kor'Tar asked at the outburst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General Worf sat down at the table across from Kor'Tar and Terla, "He refers to Kahless' statement that We are Klingons , needing no one but ourselves. General Koraga and his followers, believe that in order for the empire to thrive once more, they must revert to the old ways, of conquering , killing the weak innocents and breakiing all peacfull ties with all allied powers. I tell you , he has no honor!" Worf said with anger rising in his voice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chancellor Martok looked at Kor'Tar and handed him a Klingon PADD, "14 houses have disbanded from the Empire with a total of 68 starships at their command. We need to infiltrate their ranks, which is why I called you here Terla, I am assigning you to an undercover mission as the member of a defecting house. If you are accepted into their ranks, you will feed us with their fleet movements, warrior numbers, and bases of operation." Martok said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla nodded, "I understand. How will I be implanted amongst these traitorus Ha'DIbaH?" She asked spitting her words out with a growl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Worf handed her a PADD "On Qo'NoS in the First City there is a bar called Targ Ho"oy. Intellgence sources claim this is a bar frequented by the followers, and a place they seek out new recruits. It is imperitive that you and the crew under you make no mention of your past, you will be going under an alias, that of Lomek, and your ridges will be altered, so no one you may run into who is familar will recognize you." He expalined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If she is discovered..." Kor'Tar interrupted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Then I hope she dies well!" Martok said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar waited and paced in his ready room as Dr. Binion preformed his alterations on Terla , while flashbacks of losing his past two mates swirled through his mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is for the good of the Empire. She is a capable warrior. , he kept telling himself, but still the nagging ghosts of the past kept clawing their way to the surface.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Commodore, Terla is out of surgery if you want to come to sickbay." Marcus said over the intercom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar stroked his goatee and took a deep breath, "I'm on my way." he said with the slightest bit of apprehension.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar walked into sickbay and saw Terla sitting in a chair in the center of the room with her back to him holding a mirror, and looking at her new ridges, while her fingers poked at the new formations. She heard him come in and she put the mirror down on the biobed beside her and turned around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar's mouth dropped in awe, "Marcus, it is as if my mate is a complete stranger, well done!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marcus shook his head, "Just another day on the job, but it is one of the more interesting proceedures, beyond curing ailments and injuries."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla picked up the mirror and looked at her new ridges once more, "You will be able to restore my original brow when I come back, won't you?" She asked as she touched her new forehead again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marcus picked up a PADD and shook it in the air triumphantly, "I took the liberty to scan your ridge's original configuration into a file, when you come back, it'll be no problem to restore you back to your orignal look."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Good! I must go and pack!" Terla said standing from the chair and walking toward the door, with Kor'Tar walked by her side. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So, are you looking foreward to your mission?" Kor'Tar asked Terla attempting to make small talk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, I want nothing more than to bring down these P'TaQ! Isn't that what you want?" she asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes...I am just concerned." Kor'Tar said as they arrived at the door of their quarters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They walked inside, Terla headed to the closet and pressed a button causing the doors to slide back, she took out her duffel back and began packing her uniforms and other outfits into it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What about it concerns you specifically?" she inquired as she her uniforms off the hangers and folded them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have spoken to you about my past mates before , Lt. Molly Duer, and Captain Melota, both were killed in action." He said with a sigh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, I am aware of that..." she said then paused, she walked over to Kor'Tar, taking his face in her hands, "You fear for my safety. You must realize, if I am killed it will be in the glory of battle which will send my soul to Sto Vo Kor."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, I realize that, just try not to get yourself killed, I've already lost two mates that way, and I don't want to lose another." he said kissing her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Do you not have faith in my abilities?" she said with a mocking chuckle .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar chuckled at this himself, "You need have no doubt in my faith of your prowess as a warrior." he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar got serious, "When you get back, you and I should marry and make our union official"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla smiled at this "You have just given me even more of a reason to survive!" she said before kissing him again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The comm beeped, "Terla, the General and Chancellor are ready to leave, they are just waiting on you."  Commander O'Dell reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aknowledged!" she replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She kissed Kor'Tar agian, "I've got to go." she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar returned her kiss, "Try not to get yourself killed"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'll do my very best to, try not to miss me too much!" she said as she left .&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-2229730281241668859?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/sChB-ZifuAk" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/2229730281241668859/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/09/shape-of-things-to-come.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/2229730281241668859?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/2229730281241668859?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/sChB-ZifuAk/shape-of-things-to-come.html" title="The Shape of Things to Come" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/09/shape-of-things-to-come.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DkAHRX86fSp7ImA9Wx5XF0w.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-5595542352002350006</id><published>2010-09-17T02:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-17T02:12:14.115-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-09-17T02:12:14.115-07:00</app:edited><title>The Changing Tides</title><content type="html">

Months of phaser drilling, and pushing carts of ore on centuries old tracks in the caves. His hands and feet now calloused, his aging joints rebeled with pain with each movement in the sub-zero tempratures. When the gaurds wern't listening he chatted with his fellow inmates, and found many sympathisers to his cause, to bring down the current Klingon Empire's leadership, and break all ties with the Federation, so the Empire could rise and conquer like in the days of old. Koraga struck the frozen rock wall with the pick, causing it it crack open, revealing the dilithum underneath. Koraga struck it again causing the rock to fall away. Koraga pried the crystal out of the rock with his bare hands, and deposited into the cart behind him. Koraga started hitting the rockwall again with the pick when the asteriod began to shudder beneath his feet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alarms began blaring, Koraga heard weapons fire and shouting down toward the gaurd complex. Koraga instinctivly reached for his Dk'Tagh, forgetting the fact it had been confiscated when he was incarcerated, finding only the fur underlining of his targskin coat. Koraga took cover and brought his pick axe at the ready and carefully made his way down to the gaurd area, when the shouting got louder, and the green streaks of disruptor fire became visable. Koraga saw the jailer who had taken him in so many months ago, Rentak, get struck by a disruptor beam and vaporized before his eyes, leaving only smoke, and the smell of burnt flesh in wake. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koraga heard footsteps drawing nearer to him, and he drew the pick axe high ready to die fighting , when the person became visable, it was a Klingon Warrior, and upon seeing Koraga, he holstered his weapon and saluted by pounding his fist to his heart. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"General Koraga, my name is Jarrod, son of Lursa. It is my intent to release you and all the other warriors who were wrongfully imprisoned to overthrow the current Empire and defeat the Federation and the weakiling humans once and for all!" He said proudly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koraga studied the young Klingon male for a moment. "You look to be barely 16 turns old, tell me, how is it you made it this far?" Koraga asked him with curiosity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Word of your incarceration spread like an infestion of Tribbles through out the Empire. There are many warriors who share our views. I organized them together, we now have a fleet and a means to do what we will." Jarrod stated with confidence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koraga took a deep breath, taking all of this in, "They will follow me." He paused and nodded, "Release all the captives on this acursed rock, and invite them to join us, and if any should refuse, kill them where they stand. We will start making plans, to over throw the empire, and to kill that P'TaQ who got us here in the first place, Commodore Kor'Tar." He said through his teeth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar awoke to the sound of chime going off on his companel in the middle of the night, he tapped the button bleary eyed. "What do you want?" he asked annoyed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, you have a subspace communique from Admiral Haslet coming in on a secured channel." Lt. Darden reported. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At hearing the name of the Admiral , Terla awoke and raised beside her mate in the bed, clutching the blanket to her chest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Put it through, Phillip." Kor'Tar ordered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A holo-viewscreen appeared on the wall opposite the foot of Kor'Tar and Terla's bed bearing the insignia of the Starfleet Command , which was soon replaced by an image of Admiral Haslet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Commodore Kor'Tar, I'm sorry for waking you at this hour, but there has been an attack in the Klingon Empire less than an hour ago.", The  Admiral said . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"An attack? Where?" Terla asked with anger rising in her throat like bile. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ruha Penthe, the penal asteriod. It seems that the story of General Koraga's imprisionment has spread like wildfire throguhout the Empire and gained him even more followers. These followers attacked the asteriod, released those who agreed to join them in their cause, and killed those who refused to join." Admiral Haslet said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar took all this in, "How many followers does he have now?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That is uncertain at this point. The asteriod's magnetic sheild was taken down by over a dozen ships, and in the after math of the attack there were only 17 bodies discovered out of over 2,000 prisoners, 7 of those bodies being those of the prison gaurds." She stated. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Kahless is under orders to rendavous with General Worf, who is transporting Chancellor Martok of the Klingon Empire with a Klingon fleet at 1700 hours this after noon in the Briar Patch. I am ordering the Memphis, the Aventine, the Sitting Bull, the Okuda , and the Tanigawa to join The Kahless and the Klingon fleet at this rendavous. The Klingon Empire is under extreme risk with this group of malcontents. You are under orders to make certain that the Empire is secured and General Koraga and his followers are stopped by any means neccessary." Admiral Haslet said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Understood" Kor'Tar replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Haslet out!" the screen went back to the Starfleet seal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar and Terla walked onto the bridge from the brifing room along with the senoir staff after brifing them on their mission, and Kor'Tar sat down in the Captain's  chair with Commander O'Dell on his right , Counselor Sykes on his left, and the rest of the crew at their respective stations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Lt. Mendez, Set a course for the Briar Patch, warp 7" Kor'Tar ordered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye sir, course set!" she said with her thick Brooklyn accent as she smacked her gum. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Execute!" Kor'Tar ordered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Kahless leapt to warp into a blinding flash.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-5595542352002350006?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/Tb-MWSvFSto" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/5595542352002350006/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/09/changing-tides.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/5595542352002350006?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/5595542352002350006?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/Tb-MWSvFSto/changing-tides.html" title="The Changing Tides" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/09/changing-tides.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEEBSXYycSp7ImA9Wx5RFkQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-8326397718230874609</id><published>2010-08-24T16:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-24T16:30:58.899-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-08-24T16:30:58.899-07:00</app:edited><title>In Which a Chilhood Dream is Finally Realized</title><content type="html">

I have been ever since the 5th grade when I met 2 friends who happened to be Trekkies. They'd bring their TNG action figures to school and the Micro Machine ships, and various books and magaizines on star Trek and the different cultures and technologies. I soon looked in the TV listings and found TNG on weeknights at 6 and 9pm on channel 21 , so I began watching it everynight. It captured my imagination like nothing had before or since. I began collecting action figures and starships, and later when my family got a VCR, VHS tapes of the classic films , and a handfull of episodes. I wanted every episode and film on video, but with them being $15 + each and me only earning $5.00 a week in allowance it didn't seem very likely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later as time passed and technology changed and upgraded, we got a DVD player and i bought all the films on DVD, then it was announced they would be releasing the TNG season boxed sets, with a price tag of $100 per season. Much too steep for my blood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year I began working again and having some disposable income coming in, I set a goal for myself , to collect all the DVD boxed seasons of all of the Star Treks .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First , found Star Trek: The Animated Series at Wal-Mart for $15.00 , so I snapped it up quickly. Then on the Trektoy.com forum , a member was selling off the seasons of TNG for $30 a pop, so I waited till I got paid and bought them all . He also had all seven seasons of DS9 so i bought those as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He had a few seasons of Voyager so i bought those too, which was the last of his trek DVDs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I then turned my attention to ebay and amazon keeping my eyes peeled for good deals to fill in the missing seasons of Voyager which I was able to do in a few months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I turned my focus to the 4 seasons of Enterprise, Then to TOS . With the two seasons which just arrived , and all my other seasons and films, I now own all of Star Trek ever put on film .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Star Trek: The Original Series Remastered (seasons 1-3)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Star Trek: The Animated Series&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Star Trek: The Next Generation (seasons 1-7)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (seasons 1-7)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Star Trek: Voyager (seasons 1-7)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Star Trek: Enterprise (seasons 1-4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;plus all 11 films on 2 disc special editions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the fan film ....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Star Trek: Of Gods and Men&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After 15 years of pateintly waiting , I have finally done it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WOOT!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-8326397718230874609?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/n5f8eavFTQk" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/8326397718230874609/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/08/in-which-chilhood-dream-is-finally.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/8326397718230874609?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/8326397718230874609?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/n5f8eavFTQk/in-which-chilhood-dream-is-finally.html" title="In Which a Chilhood Dream is Finally Realized" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/08/in-which-chilhood-dream-is-finally.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D0ANRnc4cSp7ImA9Wx5SFUs.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-4641506590065171439</id><published>2010-08-11T15:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-11T15:29:57.939-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-08-11T15:29:57.939-07:00</app:edited><title>Fortune Favors the Foolish</title><content type="html">

"Tell me the location of Valentine and his rebel fleet, or die a slow and painful death" The Regent spat at her. T'Bunn stared at the wall, "Yourthreats are illogical," she stated cooly. Kor'Tar laughed aloud at this, "Why? Becuase your well trained mind can suppress your pain receptors?" he said with a sneer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He went to the console to the left and picked up a control device, and pointed it at her. He pressed a button sending her to the floor screaming and writhing in pain . He let it continue for 30 seconds before stopping and placeing the device on his belt . He crouched beside her, "That was just setting one, now tell me the location of Valentine and his fleet!" Kor'Tar growled as he yanked on her blonde locks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T'Bunn was in a cold sweat and shaking from the shock of the sudden pain as she attempted to catch her breath, she looked down at the flithy floor of the interrogation room in defeat, "They are located at cooridnates 970 by 431 mark 7" She said in a quiet voice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar grinned , then his grin hardened into a toothy sneer, "If you are lying, you and your collaborators will be killed" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T'Bunn gave him no reply but simply stared ahead. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar led her back to her cell with T'ruk and lowered the force field and he placed her inside; he raised the force field back up with it's red glow. "Keep an eye on them!" he said to the guard with a hint of warning in his voice as he left. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar stepped upon the smokey dark bridge of the Nehg'Var battle cruiser Imperial Class ship .  "Helm, set a course for 970 by 431 mark 7, engage at warp 9!" The Regent ordered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The large meanacing Cruiser leapt to warp in the vastness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Engage the cloak" Kor'Tar ordered. "Aye" one of the warriors replied. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What is our E.T.A.?" Kor'Tar asked Melota the ship's helm and gunner. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We will arrive in 2 hours at this speed!" Melota reported as she licked her sharp teeth in a flirtatious way at Kor'Tar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar smiled at her and picked up her hand grazing his teeth over her palm as he growled lowly , then he noticed that he and Melota had become the center of attention on the bridge. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He got an angry look on his face , and pointed at one of the warriors "You! Quit staring and take the bridge or I will kill you where you stand!" he said with a growl. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The warrior snapped to attention, "Yes Milord!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar and Melota left the bridge heading to his quarters with her. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T'Ruk studied the scar on T'Bunn's breastbone from where the Klingon doctor had placed the pain the device , she used her telepathic link with her sister to communicate and leave the guards oblivious .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Are you injured?" T'Ruk asked&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have been better but I will recover." T'Bunn replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We must escape and get to engineering to lower the shields"T'Ruk said&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We must attempt to meld with the gaurds through the feild and plant a sub-conciouss suggestion" T'Bunn said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both Vulcans approached the edge of the fleid nearing the two guards and they focused their mental powers on them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guards lowered their disruptors and and deactivated the field. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T'Bunn and T'Ruk stepped outside the cell and nerve pinched the guards, and took their Dk'taghs and Disruptors, "This way!" T'Bunn said as she led T'Ruk to the Engineering deck. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar layed on the bed next to Melota as she slumbered . Kor'Tar watched as her chest rose and fell from each breath she took , his concentration was broken by the beep of the com. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar growled at the noise, "What do you want?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We arrive at the coordinates in 10 minutes!" the Klingon on the bridge reported. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Acknowledged!" Kor'Tar got dressed quickly throing Melota her uniform, waking her up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar and Melota reached the bridge , Kor'Tar sat in his chair and Melota took her station , "Helm take us out of warp, prepare to drop cloak, raise the shields and obliterate the Rebel base!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melota studied the scans on her console, "Regent, according to the scans there is no base on the moon , it is just a dead rock in space!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar stood on his heels "What?!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melota looked at her console "15 rebel starships have  decloaked and surrounded us." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Terran vessels led by a commendeered Bird of Prey opened fire with surgical precision taking out the weapons and engines of the battle cruiser. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bridge shook violently as sparks flew from the consoles and small fires began to appear . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Where are the shields I ordered?!" Kor'tar asked over the chatter of the alarms and explosions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The shields have been disabled from engineering!" Melota reported .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar growled again , and stomped to the engineering deck , where he found all of his officers incapcitated leaving just the two Vulcans . Kor'Tar drew his disruptor and aimed it at them both with a wide dispursal , when the sparkling red confinement feild of a Klingon Transporter appeared before him ,as the man materialized Kor'Tar recognized his old foe. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Valentine! You P'TaQ! You will pay for what you have done! But I don't need a disruptor to defeat you!" Kor'Tar said tossing the pistol aside, he drew his Dk'Tagh, cliking the button and deploying the two smaller blades. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Valentine drew his "As you like it you Klingon bastard!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar lunged for Michael which he easily dodged , kneeing Kor'Tar in the gut then kicking him in the face , making him collapse upon the deck plating . Kor'Tar turned himself over painfully "At least let me look you in the eye as the life drains from me!" The regent said as he spat blood. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael grabbed Kor'Tar's tangled blood soaked hair and pulled him up in his fist and drew his blade high . Kor'Tar threw his arms out  and looked toward the ceiling in anticipation of Sto'Vo Kor. Michael brought the blade down swiftly , slicing Kor'Tar's cheek open. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar felt the pain in his face as blood dripped from the cut , "I thought you would kill me!" he growled. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I will one day you Targ, But not today! Think of that cut on your cheek as something to remember me by!"  Micheal pulled his commnicator "Lock on to my signal and two Vulcan signals! Energize!" Michael and the two Vulcans were transported away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regent Kor'Tar looked up at the ceiling and bellowed "VALENTIIIIIINNNNNEEEE!!!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-4641506590065171439?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/7fkxM4RT-8E" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/4641506590065171439/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/08/fortune-favors-foolish.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/4641506590065171439?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/4641506590065171439?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/7fkxM4RT-8E/fortune-favors-foolish.html" title="Fortune Favors the Foolish" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/08/fortune-favors-foolish.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DUIHRH4ycSp7ImA9Wx5SEEU.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-6825267877686718024</id><published>2010-08-06T02:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-06T02:38:55.099-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-08-06T02:38:55.099-07:00</app:edited><title>Gowron Action Figure for sale!</title><content type="html">

Kor'Tar turned on his heels, "Billy, I hope you’re coming to tell me you have the arrangements for the Ambassadors ready, you know how demanding they can be. This trade conference will be vital to this sector."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sir, we have the V.I.P. quarters ready, but do you really think that now is the best time to go repair a malfunctioning sensor buoy?" Billy asked dreading having to deal with picky, bickering, know it all, Ambassadors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Commodore's prerogative. The sensor buoy must be repaired and this is as good a time as any, besides think of this as a diplomatic exercise for you and the crew." Kor'Tar said smirking as Billy felt the weight of responsibility falling upon his shoulders. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Don't worry, if they should get out of hand there is a bottle of 2309 Blood Wine in the liquor cabinet of the Ready Room, and if that doesn't calm them down, there is a phaser set to stun in the desk drawer, but that should be used as a last resort, no use starting interstellar war over a misunderstanding. You'll do fine." Kor'Tar said grinning and whacking him on the back before entering the shuttlebay. Billy rolled his eyes and headed off to the transporter room to greet the Ambassadors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Osiris Cain was busy doing a preflight check of the type 9 cargo shuttle Morris, "Lt. Cain, are we ready?" Kor'Tar asked the young bearded Trill officer who seemed a bit distracted by a young blonde ensign doing routine matinece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Lieutenant, I said are we ready to depart?" Kor'Tar said with his voice raised, slightly irritated. Osiris, looked up and blushed, and he swallowed hard, "Sorry sir. All pre-flight systems and diagnostics check out, we are good to go, sir." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar and Lt. Cain boarded the shuttle. Osiris took the pilot's seat while Kor'Tar took the navigation/operations console. The doors sealed on the shuttle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The large clamshell doors of the aft shuttle bay opened revealing the black velvet void of space with stars as small pinpricks of light in the distance. The perimeter of the bay doors was lit with the blue light of the force field keeping the atmosphere inside the bay. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Shuttlecraft 9, you are cleared for departure." Lt. Commander Lisa Terrell's voice said over the intercom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Osiris pressed the comm button "Acknowledged, Kahless. Departing now."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nacelles of the shuttle powered up, lighting the warp grilles an incandescent blue, and the hydrogen buzzard collectors swirled with their customary reddish orange color. The RCS thrusters lifted the craft off the deck with ease, and the impulse engines propelled it out beyond the force field and into open space. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar input the navigation coordinates. "The buoy stopped transmitting its signal over a week ago near the Typhon Sector, set a course of 8172 mark 5. Warp factor six." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye sir, 8172 mark 5." Lt. Cain replied. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Execute!" Kor'Tar ordered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The shuttle jumped to warp. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No, no, no! This will not do at all! These quarters are all wrong! I asked specifically that the bedspread be made from Andorian silk, and the lights be set to a warmer colored hue, and the stars are moving the wrong way out the windows I will be space sick for this entire trip if that is not corrected. The stars must move right to left, not left to right!" The bald headed Bolian Ambassador Knaph complained.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes sir Ambassador, we shall see that all of your needs are met with momentarily , until then perhaps you'd like to visit one of the ship's holodecks to pass the time while we wait for the other ambassadors to arrive?" Billy said hopefully. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Are the programs anything like that smut peddling Ferengi on Deep Space Nine has?", Knaph asked accusingly while stepping closer to Billy and sneering with a raised eyebrow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We have vast selection of programs suited to all kinds of interests." Billy said &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Perhaps I can find one to interest me." Knaph said doubtfully. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar emerged from the back of the shuttle, having changed into his causal uniform vest top, "What's our ETA?" He asked Osiris. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Osiris checked his console, "3.9 hours at present speed, sir." He replied. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Good, we seem to be on schedule." Kor'Tar said taking a seat next to him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Commodore, may I ask you a question?" Osiris asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar nodded, "Go for it." he said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How well do you know Ensign Dawn Wilson?" He asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar smiled, "Well, Captain Guerrera of her last post, The Scorpio thought very highly of her skills as a shuttle matianence worker, and she has done well on the refits of the sensors on the shuttles so far. Other than saying the standard 'Welcome aboard', and 'If you need anything, just ask' I haven't spoken to her. Why do you ask?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm thinking of asking her out to dinner with me, then take a stroll through the under the fireworks on the holodeck." Osiris said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"She'd enjoy that I think." Kor'Tar said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well, how should I ask her? Anytime I'm around her I feel tongue tied." Osiris said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Just be yourself and try talking to her, she won't bite. Who knows, she may feel the same way about you and might be afraid to say anything herself." Kor'Tar said smiling. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You think so?" Osiris asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Just between you and me, I did catch her stealing some quick glances of you when you boarded the shuttle." Kor'Tar said with a wink. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Osiris was about to reply when the shuttle struck something causing it to roll to the starboard side throwing Osiris and Kor'Tar from their chairs against the consoles. The lights dimmed and the emergency backup lights switched on. Kor'Tar and Osiris made it back to their chairs as the shuttle shook violently. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Report, what the hell was that?" Kor'Tar said as he held on to the console,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Osiris checked the sensors, "We hit a gravitic mine and we are hurtling out of control. The port nacelle is down" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Can you get a fix on our position?" Kor’Tar asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Negative, there is a planetary system in our path, one gas giant; two ice encrusted planets, and one Class L planetoid. We are being drawn into the system by the gravity of the gas giant." Osiris said alarmed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Steer us toward the Class L planetoid with thrusters, we've got to land and see how bad the damage is."  Kor'Tar ordered.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aye sir!" Osiris put in the course correction as the cabin around the shimmied and quaked around them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is going to be a steep descent, brace for impact!" Osiris called out as the forward windows of the shuttle began to glow orange from the heat of re-entry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The shuttle streaked across the sky and hit rough into the soil at the base of a craggy old mountain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor'Tar awoke to the stench of acrid smoke burning his eyes and nose causing him to cough, feeling the sting in his ribs told him he had a fracture, he gritted his teeth at the pain and tried to move his legs, they were trapped under a fallen beam. Kor'Tar grabbed the nearest long piece of debris and pried the beam off his legs; his left ankle was broke as his nerve endings told him when he pulled his legs free. Something warm was dripping down his face, his blood from a cut on his head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Osiris? You ok? " Kor 'Tar grabbed a palm beacon and turned it on, to see the young officer slumped over his console. Kor'Tar checked his pulse, it was weak but steady. Kor'Tar turned on the distress call and grabbed a medkit, He scanned Osiris and he was unconscious from the crash and had multiple contusions, Kor'Tar gave him a hypo. Kor'Tar healed the cut on his own forehead. He set his ankle while biting down on cushion from one of the seats, and braced it with a piece of debris and torn strips of the arm of his uniform. He grabbed a piece of debris to use as a makeshift crutch. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am going to go see if I can find us some help, stay here in case the distress call is picked up by a passing starship." Kor'Tar said as he hobbled out of the shuttle into a raging storm with wind rain and lightning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more Kor'Tar moved the more his body went into shock from his injuries; he collapsed from it at the base of the mountain near the entrance of a cave.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A hooded figure emerged from the cave and looked over Kor'Tar's body, scooping him up under his large arms and dragged him inside the cave. &lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar awoke slowly from his dazed state breathing in; he smelled the smell of vegetables cooking. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a woman stirring the vegetables in a pot over an open flame, he was about to try to stand when he felt both his arms and legs were strapped down to the bed. The strap over his ankle smarted as he moved and he groaned out in pain. &lt;br /&gt;The woman heard him cry out, and she turned down the fire on the pot and rushed over to his side, sitting next to him on the mattress. She was slender, with messy brown hair tied in an up do, dark brown eyes, and curved hips. She was wearing older ragged looking clothing.&lt;br /&gt;“Be careful, the bone knitter still needs a few more passes over that ankle before it’s healed. You must be parched, would you like some water?” She asked. &lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar nodded; she grabbed a canteen off a shelf and brought it to him, unscrewing the cap and putting it to his lips , she poured some into his open mouth. He choked on the first swallow and coughed hard, causing his broken ribs to sting in pain, he grabbed his side. He began to drink more, before finally putting his hand up for her stop. &lt;br /&gt;“Thank you,” he said in a gravely voice. &lt;br /&gt;He looked around at his surroundings inside the cave, there were bits of equipment that looked as if they had been ripped from an old ship, shevling units, a hydroponic garden growing various fruits, vegetables, bamboo, and simple furnature adorned the space . The bed he was on, a few chairs, and a counter with various tools and knives with a stool along the wall. &lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar looked back at the woman and down at the straps holding him to the bed . “Are these restraints really necessary?” He asked . &lt;br /&gt;“You have many broken bones, a concussion, until you have fully recovered I must keep you safe so you don’t injure yourself more.” She said cupping his cheek in her right hand and looking into his eyes while her left hand played through his hair. &lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar nodded, “What is your name? How did you get here? This planet’s harsh conditions are not very hospitable.”  Kor’Tar inquired. &lt;br /&gt;“My name is Andisa. I was part of the crew of the mining vessel Balmos. We were passing through this system when we encountered a plasma storm, our sensors and navagtion were taken outand the ship impacted on the surface 12 kiliometers from here. Out of the 42 crew members only myself and 3 others survived the crash, but their injuries were so severe they soon perished as well. I’ve been all alone during that time. Time, there is a word I’d never thought I’d hear myself say again. The ship’s chronometers were damaged along with everything else. I grabbed what I could carry , and scouted out for a suitable place to make camp until rescue .” she said as her voice waivered on the verge of tears. &lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar placed his hand reassuringly on her arm. “It’s ok, I’m here now, My name is Kor’Tar. How long ago did your ship crash?” he asked. &lt;br /&gt;“I’m not sure, I think it was a couple of years ago.” She said after searching her memory.&lt;br /&gt;“Do you know what year?” Kor’Tar pressed . &lt;br /&gt;“2379.” She stated. &lt;br /&gt;“That was nearly 8 years ago.” He said doing the math in his head. &lt;br /&gt;“Eight…years?” she asked as if she just received a blow to the gut. &lt;br /&gt;She stood and walked over to the counter as if all the wind and energy had been knocked out her.&lt;br /&gt;“I would have never imagined I’ve been trapped here for that long.” She said with astonishment . &lt;br /&gt;She gathered her self up as best she could, “Are you hungry? I made a vegetable stew , it should help you get your strength back.” She said. &lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar nodded , “Yes please, I am starved.” He said greatfully. &lt;br /&gt;She went and got a bowl off the shelves , and walked over to the pot of vegetables and scooped some of the steaming hot contents into the bowl for Kor’Tar along with a fresh baked roll, and a spoon. She got a raised tray off the shelf and placed it over his lap ,then placed the bowl, spoon, roll, and a napkin along with canteen on the tray. She loosened the strap over Kor’Tar’s shoulders , allowing him to sit up and eat . She got herself a bowl and pulled a chair next to the bed and sat down holding the bowl in her  hand. Kor’Tar looked down at the contents of boiled vegtables as the smell met his nose , making his mouth water. He picked up the spoon sunk it into the bowl, raised it and blew off the steam and ate it hungrily. &lt;br /&gt;“That’s very good!” he said as he picked up his roll, tore it in half, and dipped it into the broth, soaking some of it up before taking a bite out of it.&lt;br /&gt;“Thank you, after 8 years of trail and error, I seem to have ;earned something about cooking without burning and ruining everything.” She said with a chuckle. &lt;br /&gt;They continued eating the stew and chatting , until finally both their bowls were empty. &lt;br /&gt;“Would you like some more?” Andisa asked. &lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar shook his head and smiled, “No thank you, I couldn’t eat another bite.” &lt;br /&gt;Andisa smiled and took his bowl and her’s to the simple makeshift sink she had constructed and poured water into them . She came back to Kor’Tar’s beside , and sat on the matteress next to him and began to carress his chest as she started unzipping the neck on his uniform shirt while leaning closer to him and pressing her lips softly to his. Kor’Tar gently pushed her back, “I’m sorry, I think I have given you a wrong impression. While I am flattered , I cannot make love to you. My mate would be rather upset with you and me both if that were to happen. “  &lt;br /&gt;Andisa frowned, “You have no idea what it’s been like, no one to talk to, no one to laugh with, no one to love for all this time. Please love me! Just for tonight, no one will know but you and me!” she said as she continued to unzip Kor’Tar’s uniform shirt.&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar grabbed her wrist, “I said no, I need to be getting back to the shuttle to see if my crewman has had any luck in contacting my ship.” &lt;br /&gt;Andisa’s face changed to one of rage, “Your crewman is dead, I saw his body cold and lifeless. Fine if you want to go, you can. You’ll need a walking stick.” She went to the counter and pulled a large knife from it and went to the hydroponics table and cut off a stalk of bamboo with an angry face. She sat cutting the bamboo into the slices then shaving those slices into thin points. Kor’Tar watched her curiously. &lt;br /&gt;“I thought you said I’d need a walking stick. I won’t be able to use it very well cut down like that.”  He said.&lt;br /&gt;Andisa , focused on sharpening the bamboo.  “This isn’t for you to use, it’s for me” she said coldly. &lt;br /&gt;She whittled down a half dozen of the sharpened sticks , and she came around to the foot of the bed, intentionly putting her her rear down on his injured ankle. Kor’Tar winced at the pain and cried out, she began bouncing her hips on it , each time making his ankle hurt worse than before. She finally stopped and crawled up his body till she was straddling his pelvis and she tied the strap across his shoulders and chest , tighter than before. &lt;br /&gt;She started to grind her hips into him, “Will you love me?” she asked as she gyrated. &lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar shook his head, “No , I don’t even know you.” &lt;br /&gt;She leaned down closer to his face, “Why must you make things difficult on yourself?” She asked as she grabbed  his right wrist tightly. Kor’Tar clenched his fists as he struggled against her.  She pried open his hand, grabbing his index finger tightly in her grip. &lt;br /&gt;“I ask you again, will you love me?” She said looking him in the eye.&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar shook his head defiantly, “The answer is no.” he said firmly. &lt;br /&gt;She took one of the sharpened bamboo pieces and began driving the sharpened point of it into the bed of his fingernail . Kor’Tar screamed in agony , the pain was excrutiating . &lt;br /&gt;“What do you want from me?!!!” Kor’Tar cried out. &lt;br /&gt;“You know what I want from you” She said as she ground her hips into his pelvis again. &lt;br /&gt;“I’ll do anything you want just please , stop” Kor’Tar said defeated. &lt;br /&gt;“I’d thought you’d see things my way” she said smiling and removing the bloodied, bamboo stick from under his nail.&lt;br /&gt;She started unzipping his uniform top again opening it up and removing it , she pressed her lips firmly into his and kissed him hard . She kissed down his face, neck, breastbone, down to his abs, and her fingers worked to unfasten his pants. Kor’Tar looked down at her as she worked , when they both heard footsteps coming from the mouth of the cave. &lt;br /&gt;Terla , Lt. Commander Terrell, and Lt. Svinn came rushing in with their weapons drawn. Terla took a look at Andisa and what she was doing to Kor’Tar , and the look of horror in her mate’s eyes, and she lunged for Andisa . &lt;br /&gt;“THAT IS MY MATE YOU P’TAQ!!” she growled as she grabbed Andisa and flung her off Kor’Tar and she headbutted her, then drew her hand back to strike her.&lt;br /&gt;Lt. Commander Terrell stopped her, “YImev, yap! We have found Kor’Tar and this woman will stand trail for her crimes.”&lt;br /&gt;Terla looked back at the woman as blood began to drip from her nose, “Very well,” she growled, glaring  at Andisa with contempt. &lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar sat in his ready room reviewing reports when he heard the door chime . &lt;br /&gt;“Come in,” he said as he put down the PADD he was reading and picked up his cup of Raktegeno and sipped it . &lt;br /&gt;The doors slid open and Commander O’Dell walked in. &lt;br /&gt;“Billy, come in, sit. How did things go with the ambassadors at the confrence?” Kor’Tar asked.&lt;br /&gt;“About as well as can be expected.” Billy said with a tired sigh. &lt;br /&gt;“That bad, huh?” Kor’tar asked. &lt;br /&gt;He paused and took a breath. &lt;br /&gt;“What have you found out about Andisa?” Kor’Tar asked.&lt;br /&gt;“The wreakge on the surface was not of a cargo ship , but of a penal transport ship which was reported missing , the San Quentin . Her full name is Karena Andisa Bennett, she was being transported to the Federation Penal colonly on Andosia VI for murder, assualt, among a laundry list of other charges. We’re fortunate we found you when we did.After reading the report of what she did to you…” Billy said solemly, But Kor’Tar was eagar to change the subject.&lt;br /&gt;“How’s Osiris?” Kor’Tar asked. &lt;br /&gt;“He’s doing well enough . He’s getting ready for his date with Dawn Wilson, the first thing he did after Dr. Binion released him from sickbay, was find her and ask her out to dinner” Billy said.&lt;br /&gt;“Good for him, I told him she’d be willing!” Kor’Tar smiled. &lt;br /&gt;Billy looked at Kor’Tar for a long moment, “Permission to speak freely?” he asked. &lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar folded his hands on the reflective surface of his desk, “Granted.”&lt;br /&gt;“I think you should discuss with Counselor Styles what happened to you.” He said with looking Kor’Tar in his eyes.&lt;br /&gt;“No, I’ll be alright. It’s just going to take time. Thank you for your concern. Dismissed”  Kor’Tar said.&lt;br /&gt;Billy nodded, and got up to leave, stopping before he got to the door and turning around, “If you don’t talk to Johnathan, please tell me you’ll talk to someone.” &lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar nodded, “I’ll try, just not right now. Dismissed” he said emphsizing the sounds on the last word. &lt;br /&gt;Billy left, and Kor’Tar pushed his chair away from the desk and grabbed his mug of Raktegeno as he gazed out the window into the stars, trying to shake the feelings and memories of what happened to him.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-1324861775352774122?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/32WEiCzVVi0" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/1324861775352774122/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/05/succubus.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/1324861775352774122?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/1324861775352774122?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/32WEiCzVVi0/succubus.html" title="The Succubus" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/05/succubus.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;C08ARno6eyp7ImA9WxBVE0w.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-5582885901474385628</id><published>2010-02-16T01:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-16T01:17:27.413-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-02-16T01:17:27.413-08:00</app:edited><title>Loyal to the Damned</title><content type="html">

Stardate 2387.44 . After weeks of working and efforts by the surviving Romulans and with the aide of the Federation Colonization Team, New Romulus is nearing completion . In fact it is just lacking one last step .” Kor’Tar ended the log recording . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Heave!” Kor’Tar screamed as he and the senior crew erected the final wall of the New Romulan Senate Chamber and secured it into place . Much of the buildings were canabalized from the colony ships used to transport the 180,000 + Romulans  and others were built from scratch , by the FCT who also provided the water purification systems , the food replicators , and the power generation units . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar wiped the sweat off his ridges and walked up to the stage set up at the foot of the New Romulan Senate Chamber . Along with his entire senior staff . The crowd of Romulan Digniatries parted and allowed Ambassadore Taurin through along with his fiance Nurse D’Raako Joran . Taurin and Joran Joined Kor’Tar and the crew on the stage and the mass of people erupted in applause . Kor’Tar  walked to the crystal podium with the seal of the United Federation of Planets on it . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Thank you! Thank you! Please take your seats!” his voice boomed through the speakers echoing through the canyonous space between the tall new buildings . The crowds applause quieted as they sat down . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar adjusted the mic causing it to sqeaul a bit “ 6 months ago , a terrible tradgey befel the peoples of Romulus and much of their civilization was destroyed by the Hobus Supernova . 5 months ago, we discovered the escape pod of Taurin , who was the Sub-Commander of a Romulan Starship which met with an unfortunate demise . With his help and a fleet of ships , we found not only the remaining survivors who were left , but we also found this planet which was deemed a suitable spot for colonization . My crew and I help lay the keystone for this senate on the jungle floor , and it is only fitting that we set in the final wall .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The crowd cheered enthusiastically , “Thank you! Now I’ll turn over the podium to Ambassadore Taurin ., “ Kor’Tar said as he stepped back with his officers . Ambassadore Taurin kissed Nurse Joran and walked up to the the lectern . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Thank you Commodore!” The Ambassadore said as he took the podium  . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commodore Kor’Tar listened to the speech only halfway while scanning the crowd with his eyes carefully , when he spotted a hooded figure in the back aiming a weapon at the Ambassadore . Kor’Tar sprung into action leaping up to shove Taurin out of the way as the bright greean beam streaked from the back . “Look out!!!” Kor’Tar screamed as shoved Taurin to the ground . The beam struck Kor’Tar in the chest , throwing him back to the senate wall . He impacted the wall hard and bounced to the ground with smoke rising from the wound . His eyes clamped shut and his teeth beared . The crowd screamed and scattered .  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commander  O’Dell , and Commander Terrell and the rest of the senior staff took cover and fired their phasers at the gunman while Nurse Joran and Doctor Binion scanned Kor’Tar . 6 orange beams fired at the gunner two found their target , causing the hooded figure to drop . Commander O’Dell holsetered his phaser , “Commander Terrell , go check on that gunman , find out who he is .” He walked over to Marcus Binion who was busy working on Kor’Tar . “How is he?” Billy asked dreading the reply . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Not good , I’ve managed to stabalize his condition for now , but I need to take him into emergency surgery immedatly if he is to survive , the damage to his arteries is severe . If not for all his redundant Klingon organs he would have been killed instantly.” Marcus said with concern  . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy slapped him on the arm “Get him to sickbay now!” Marcus nodded “Binion to Kahless , 2 to transport to sickbay!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Doctor and the Commodore were beamed away , while Billy looked on at his commanding officer as he was taken away . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His concentration was broken , when Commander Terrell signaled “Sir , we have the assassain , you had better come down here .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy took out a hip flask of vodka and downed the contents , grimancing at the bite from it  , and placed the flask back in his hip pocket . “I’m on my way ,” he said in a gravelly voice . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy walked down the row between the folding chairs and followed the line of officers to a secluded back room which would eventually be used as one of the offices for a Romulan Senator . Commander Lisa Terrell , had the gunman tied down into the comfortable leather clad desk chair , while she and Svinn held their phasers on him , they kept the hood in place .  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy came barging into the room and grabbed the gunman by his shirt lifting him up from the chair  and he head butted him causing red blood to drip from the hood which covered the assassain’s head . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Who the hell are you and why did you shoot Kor’Tar?!” Billy asked as he tore the hood off the gunman , revealing a young Klingon officer , which Commander Terrell seemed to recognize with astonishment , she holstered her phaser as walked over to the young man as her fingers felt around the jawline for a mask seem , she found it and she ripped off the mask , revealing the face of a young african american man with his hair tied into cornrows . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Willy! What the hell is the meaning of this young man?” she asked . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He looked away , “You look at me when I’m speaking to you , I am still your mother!” she  screamed . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few years back Willy as he was known  was a resident of the U.S.S. Kahless living with his parents and going to school in the ship board classes , but the older he got the more rebelous he became towards them . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventaully when he became old enough , he moved off the ship to an apartment on a planetiod near the Klingon Border , once there he stopped writing and calling his parents and never answered any calls from them . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As much as they worried about their son they  they didn’t allow it to affect their duties . Lisa shook her head  , her lips pursed , like she was ready to start a profanity laced lecture to him , but she closed her eyes and took a deep breath instead , “Fine , you don’t wish to explain your actions , S’Vinn , lock him up in the brig  , we’ll have Commander O’Dell question him later when he has time .” she marched out of the room and stifled her tears . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She hit her combadge , “Lisa to Teydroc , we need to talk about something , NOW!” she said . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teydroc looked up from his work , hearing his wife’s all business tone , “I’m on my way!” he said . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy and Terla paced in the waiting room outside of Sickbay waiting for word . Marcus had been in surgery for 5 hours working on Kor’Tar . The door ro the surgical bay opened and Marcus emerged in his red floor length scrubs and cap as he unmasked him self and removed the red gloves . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“He is stable for now , and I have had to induce a coma until his cardial and pulmatory systems are recovered fully , how long that will take is anyones’s guess . It seems the beam that struck him was a modified Tetrion beam with Nadyion properties . Like someone jerryrigged a phaser to put out a more powerful disruption beam . I’ve never seen damage like that in all my years of medicine , thankfully we were able to stabalize him and operate quickly , if we hadn’t he would have been dead in matter of hours .” Marcus said looking therough the surgical bay’s windows at the unconsious Kor’Tar on the bio bed with the surgical frame still in place . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla stared at her mate “Where is the P’TaQ responsible for this? I’ll rip his heart out!” she said with a growl .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy looked at her leaning against the glass  “We’ve got him in custody , I am going to handel his interrgation personally after I discuss things with his parents aand get the results back from the investagtion into activites for the past few years he’s been away from his parents.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla sighed , “Federation proceedures and rules always in the way of honor,” she paused at the statement and smiled “Kor’Tar would have it no other way .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William sat in the small interrigation room in a black tank top and black slacks , his Klingon gear having been confiscated when he was taken into custody .  The room was far too cold and far too bright for his liking and he had been waiting in this cold room sitting at a back table with a chair on either side of it . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He heard footsteps echo down the coridoor outside and Commander O’Dell appeared as the source of the noise at the door , he pressed in a code to drop the force field while a security officer raised back up behind him as he stepped through . He carried something about 3 foot long in a brown stachle and he placed it next to his chair as he sat down with a PADD in his hand . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“William Latrice Terrell-Smith. 24 years of age and according to the tattoos on your forearms a member of the Kuv’Lok  gang on Frocus III,” he said pointing out the Klingon characters on his arms . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Tell me , have you reached the Right of Accension yet?” Billy asked coldly .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“That the thing where that hit you in the ribs ?” He asked . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yes , it is . I only ask because if you truly wish to be a Klingon like members of your gang do , first you’ve got to go through the traditions of the Klingon people.,” he stood and picked William up by his arm . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He picked up the brown cloth satchel and untied the cord at the top and allowed the fabric to fall off it and to the floor , revealing a Klingon painstick , he hit the control button causing the end of it to crackle with red electricity . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He placed the painstick to Will’s ribs and turned it on “AARRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!”  he screamed being brought to his knees and making his veins bulge from his neck .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“That was setting number one , lets try setting number two.” He said adjusting the settings . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Wait!” Will said sticking out his hand and attempting to catch his breath . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’ll tell you anything you want to know .” He said holding his side where the painstick had struck him . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar awoke looking up at the ceiling of sickbay , he looked around confused and still bleary eyed , and in pain . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ugh , what happened ?!” he asked no one in particular . As soon as the words left his lips the memories came flooding back to him . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nurse Joran came into the room swaying her hips with each step , she smiled her unintentionally seductive smile at Kor’Tar , with her red lipstick painted lips contrasting with her green skin . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She hugged Kor’Tar tightly “Thank you for saving my fiance’s life .” she said. The door to the sickbay opened and Billy and Terla walked in . D’Raako quickly broke the hug as Terla stared daggers into her .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She walked out of the room swaying her hips with each step as she left . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla approached Kor’Tar’s bedside and she kissed him deeply , when Marcus called from his office “Now now! None of that in my sickbay, you hear! This is a place for healing the sick and injured , not for two lovers to get their rocks off! Besides his heart won’t be able to take any strenous activites for at least a week! Keep it in your pants! Doctor’s Orders!” he said glaring at them both  . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar and Terla broke their kiss and chuckled . Kor’Tar looked up at her from the bed and smiled “Becareful , or you’ll get us both in trouble love!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla smiled and nodded , gently kissing Kor’Tar’s ridges , “I shall restrain myself , but it will be a challenge .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar nodded , “I happen to know you enjoy a challenge , which is why you took me for a mate!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy sat and watched the exchange patiently while shaking his flask which was now empty “I’m gonna need to refill this after today .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar and Terla both stopped their discussion , Kor’Tar said , “I’m sorry for being rude Billy , what have you found?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy handed Kor’Tar a PADD with all the data from the investigation , Kor’Tar read it and his mouth dropped “Little Willy? I was there for his birth , his Christening , his graduation . What made him want to attack Romulans?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Billy shook his head , “When he moved to Frocus III , he became friends with members of the Kuv’Lok gang . A gang of  young aliens who aspire to be like Klingons but have no true sense of honor or loyalty . apperantly in the past few months they have been contacted several times by the rouge Klingon faction Honorable Vengence and they were taking orders from them . the disruptor which you were shot with was kitbashed together from multiple weapons’ to create a Frankenstiened super weapon  . Teydroc and Lisa have taken it aprt and they report that there are parts from at least 7 different weapons all forced together into an unholy matromony .” &lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar nodded as he took all this in and looked down at the mugshot of the young man on the PADD . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Understood , where is William now?”Kor’Tar asked . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“He is spending the night in the brig until we can reach the nearest Federation Penal Colony , which we will reach in 12 .4 hours.” Billy said .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Perhaps that won’t be necessary,” Kor’Tar said .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Commodore , with all due respect , that young man attempted to assassinate a Roumulan dignitary and nearly killed you in the process , and now you decide not to press charges to have him locked up in Penal Colony? Have you lost your mind?” Billy asked distressed . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar gave him a dirty look , “Billy , he is a young man who made a few wrong chioces . He you read the amount of repeat offnders go in and out of those Penal colonies? Many of the have wrap sheets longer than you are tall . Those place do nothing to rehabilitate the criminals  , they only amplify their faults and they go back out and do the same things and wind up having a permanent home in the system after awhile .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar sat up on the bio-bed , “Now just where do you think your going? I haven’t cleared you to go back on duty yet!” Marcus said as he came out from his office . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar smiled at him as he put on his uniform jacket, “Relax Marcus , you said no strenous activites for a week. The boy is so interested in Klingon culture he joins a gang or aliens who aspire to be Klingon? I’ll give him a crash course on what it truly means to be Klingon . With any luck  he’ll learn a thing or two , or just become sick of all things Klingon for awhile. Now I have a cirriculum to construct!” Kor’Tar said as he left sickbay .  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willy awoke to blinding lights and a figure standing on the outside of his cell , he blinked a couple of times as he woke up more , and broguht his vision into focus . There before him was Commodore Kor’Tar standing in front of the force field looking in at him with small parcel in his hands , he pressed a button dropping the force field and threw him the package . Willy caught it with a confused look at Kor’Tar . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What time is it?” he asked as he opened the package which contained gym clothes . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Zero five hundred hours. You have 10 minutes to get showered and dressed out in the clothes I’ve provided you . Well, what are you sitting around for? Get a move on!,” Kor’Tar said to Willy firmly  in a tone ; so harsh Willy felt fear  and jumped at the order , running to the sonic shower and quickly washing himself and putting on the gym clothes quicker than he had ever gotten ready in his life , when he came back out in the the public area of the brig cell Kor’Tar was there along with the Andorian  security officer S’Vinn who was dressed in similar gym clothes attire  . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar dropped the force field . “William , as you know this is S’Vinn he is one of our ship’s top athletes , you are to go with him and do all the exercises he orders you to do and report back here in one hour to study for your test .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willy nodded , “Yes sir .,” he stepped out of the cell and S’Vinn sprinted past him at an amazing speed , “You must keep up with me!” S’Vinn called back to him . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willy did his bext to keep up with him but felt as if S’vinn was getting further and further away . Jogging around the circumfrence of the ship’s saucer section on deck 10 was enough to zap anyone’s energy , and yet that Andorian just kept going at a steady pace making sure to stay far enough behind to allow Willy to just barely catch up to him . They finally reached the brig where they had began and Kor’Tar was there waiting on them . S’Vinn stood by the door at parade rest while Willy crouhed down with his hands on his knees attempting to catch his breath . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar allowed him to sit while his breathing settled  , “Good, you seem to have recovered , now hit the showers once more and be out here in 10 minutes dressed and ready to study .” Kor’Tar said to him firmly . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willy complied and 10 minutes later was sitting down at a school desk that was placed inside the cell . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar handed him a PADD with all historical interations between the Klingon Empire and Starfleet , from the first contact incident known as “Broken Bow” to the discovery of the Sword of Kahless by Captain Dax of the USS Aventine which she presented to Martok which helped settle the decades long civil war within the empire . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You have one hour to study , then you will take the quiz . Get to work!,” He ordered . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willy began scanning over the historical text furiously , trying to get all the info to stick inside his head . Reading and re-reading passages till his eyes nearly crossed . Before he knew what happened the PADD was being taken out his hand and replace with the quiz PADD .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“There are 100 questions , 60 multiple choice , and 40 word problems  . Make sure to check your answers and show your work when necessary . You have 2 hours . Begin .” Kor’Tar commanded . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willy filled in the answers and after an hour and forty-seven minutes he handed in his PADD . Kor’Tar pressed a button to check his work  . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Out of a possible 100% score , your grade is 86% , which isn’t bad .” Kor’Tar said . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Change back into your gym clothes , I will instruct you in Klingon Tai-Chi .” Kor’Tar ordered . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willy changed back into his gym clothes and followed Kor’Tar to the ship’s gym as he did his best to mimic the poses and moves of Klingon Tai-chi , failing miserably . Kor’Tar assited him find the correct postures and eventually he was able to hold the poses fine without assistance . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar grabbed a towel off the hook and threw one at Willy and took the other for himself as he wiped the sweat off his forehead and face , “Computer , Time?” Kor’Tar asked as he sat back on a bench . “The time is ten hundred hours.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar looked over at Willy , “ If you’d like to eat lunch now you may , I have arranged for your mother and father to have now off for lunch as well , you may join them in their quarters.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willy nodded and smiled  .  “S’vinn escort Willy to his parent’s quarters for an hour lunch then escort him back here .”, Kor’Tar ordered . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Aye sir!” S’vinn took Willy into his custody and took him down to eat lunch with his parents . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S’vinn came back and escorted Willy from his parent’s quarters  back to the brig area . S’vinn could tell by the look on his face that Willy had been getting a lecture from his parents the entire time he was there . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willy walked into the brig area with S’Vinn and sitting down at the table with Kor’Tar was Ambassdore Taurin and Nurse D’Raako Joran . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar nodded at him and interlaced his fingers in front of him on the table . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Welcome back , I thought you should meet the man you attempted to murder , and his fiance .”, Kor’Tar said to Willy dryly . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willy’s head went down shamefuly , and he mumbled something under his breath . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What’s that ? I didn’t quite catch it!” Kor’Tar inquired . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willaim lifeted his head , with rage , “I said , I do not want to be in the same room with that P’TaQ!” He yelled , causing Taurin , and Nurse Joran and back up a bit at the shock of it . Kor’Tar remained firm and steadfast , unflinching at the young man’s outburst . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So you join a Klingon gang , and now as a result you hate all Romulans , is that right?” Kor’Tar asked of him . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willy nodded “That’s right , after all the crimes they have committed against the Klingon Empire and the Federation over the years , they have earned their hatered .” He said firmly  . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Do you realize that most if not all those crimes were committed long before you were even born? You are holding this man responsible for the crimes of his forebears .So in order to express your hatred to the Romulans as a race instead of writing an essay or recording a holo recording of your rants you make an assassination attempt on a now endangered race . Tell me , where is the honor in that?” Kor’Tar asks of him . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In war there is nothing more honorable than victory.” Willy stated dryly . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“That is true , however a gang of wannabe Klingons cannot wage war against an entire race .” Kor’Tar paused .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You know over a century ago hostilies were still high between the Federation and Klingon Empires , thousands died on both sides needlessly . Now here we are in the late 24th Century and I a Klingon am the commanding officer of a Federation starship , something that would have been unheard of back in the 23rd Century . I cannot tell you how to feel and how not to feel , however if you are going to be a member of society you must learn to interact with many different people peacfully weather you happen to like them personally or not . I have discussed what happened with Taurin and and Nurse Joran , and we have decided not to press charges against you for your crimes , you instead will be released into your parents custody , and undergo counseling with Couselor Johnathan Styles , if you wish to . If not we can always drop you off at the nearest penal asteriod and never look back .” Kor’Tar said watching the young man’s face . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willy looked at Kor’Tar, Taurin , and Nurse Joran . “I accept your terms,” he said quietly. He paused for a moment closing his eyes and swallowing . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He took a deep breath and began to speak again “I would like to apologise to all 3 of you for my actions . It was a foolish mistake and I will endevor to do what I must in order to correct my actions in the future .” Willy said sticking out his hand at Taurin , who took it and shook his hand firmly . He then stuck out his hand to Kor’Tar who repeated the motion . He stick his hand out to Nurse Joran and she slapped him across his face , “You tried to murder my fiance! Forget it!” she screamed as she stormed out . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willy clutched his face still hot from the sting of the slap as Taurin followed after her . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Commodore’s Log, Stardate 2387.47 . New Romulus is taking in more and more Romulan survivors everyday . I have fully recovered from my injuries , and Mr. Terrel-Smith is corooperating with his Parents and Counselor Styles . It is hoped that one day he will be able to see past his pre-concieved notions , and see people for what they are on the inside . End Log .”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-5582885901474385628?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/Lz9IGX1dpI4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/5582885901474385628/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/02/loyal-to-damned.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/5582885901474385628?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/5582885901474385628?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/Lz9IGX1dpI4/loyal-to-damned.html" title="Loyal to the Damned" /><author><name>Commodore Kor'Tar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00951955403343480922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RjewEUfFf-U/TPgUK_30IeI/AAAAAAAAADo/qg1vEssTUTw/S220/A1.1.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/02/loyal-to-damned.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;A0cGSHc8eip7ImA9WxBQGEQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566677272310358469.post-2922299813407312397</id><published>2010-01-19T03:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-19T03:03:49.972-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-01-19T03:03:49.972-08:00</app:edited><title>Dis-Honorable Vengence</title><content type="html">

In the 4th month of searching , sensors have detected a star system near the Bassan Rift  with an M-Class planet in orbit . I have been ordered to investigate it’s suitablity for colonization with Nurse Joran,” Sub-commander Taurin paused his log recording after he mentioned the Orion Nurse’s name and smiled in spite of himself. He and the Nurse have been attached at the hip during that time , and he never thought that after the destruction of his homeworld and losing everyone he cared about he could ever find happiness again , but D’Raako had done a lot to help him lift his spirits by just being with him . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“End log.” He tells the terminal . He goes to grab his duffle bag and packs a few changes of clothes , and essentials that would be needed . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The door chime rings . “Come in .” Taurin says . D’Raako enters carrying the sensor equipment they’d need for the trip . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Are you just about ready ?” She asks him as she walks over to give him a kiss . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He returns the kiss and nods . “I’ve got everything we’ll need packed .”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; He gazed into her smokey eyes , as she took her green left index finger and traced the tip of it along the edge of his right ear , from the earlobe to the tip and back down . His heart began to pound as he became intoxicated by her presence . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You know Commodore Kor’Tar is giving us this time to be together, but he also wants us to get some work done.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yes , and we will get plenty of work done, and have plenty of time for play as well .” She said biting her lower lip while holding on to her lover . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taurin smiled again , “Come on , we don’t want to be late to the shuttle .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The type 9 speedboat shuttle arced away from the U.S.S. Kahless’s aft engineering section shuttlebay toward the planet below . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A comm signal blinked on the console . Taurin opened a channel . Commodore Kor’Tar’s voice come on over the comm system . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sub-Commander Taurin , we’ll come back to pick you up in 3 days . I expect this mission should be very vaulable to the future of your people . And very enjoyable  for our Nurse and Romulan Ambassadore . Don’t have too much fun while your down there together!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oh don’t worry sir!” Nurse jorna said with an impish grin and wink at Taurin . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“See you in three days sir , Taurin Out !” he said as he closed the comm signal . &lt;br /&gt;The Shuttlecraft Benbrook continued it’s decent down toward the planet . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Kahless leaped to warp to continue it’s search for Romulan refugees , Terla looked up from the sensor console , “Kor’Tar , sensors are picking up a debris field of a Romulan starship , with no survivors .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Onscreen.” The main viewer’s image shifted to the floting bodies and ship shards . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar looked at the screen with concern , “Did they destroy the ship themselves or were the attacked ?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terla made the inquiry on her console and read the results . “They were attacked , the weapon’s signature seems to be Klingon . Sensors show the attack happened less than 5 hours ago . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yellow alert! Put the shileds and weaopns on standby. “ Kor’Tar ordered .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Aye sir!” Lt.Cmdr . Terrel replied . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lisa looked at her console , “Sir , we are receiving an Alpha-One priority from Starfleet Command . It’s Admiral Haslet .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Onscreen!” Kor’Tar ordered . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The image of an older human woman with greying hair appeared on the Main Viewscreen . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Commodore Kor’Tar , the Klingon Empire is on the verge of civil war . Since the destruction of Romulus , there have been rouge factions emerge within the Empire bent on destroying what’s left of the Romulan population .” She said . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar nodded , “Yes, we have just come across a debris field of a Romulan Warbird that had Klingon weapons signatures .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This faction calls themselves “Honorable Vengence” It is made up of a handfull of starships , led by General Koraga . Reports are they have destroyed at least 16 Romulan starships in the region so far . Keep an eye out for them , The Kahless may be too tempting a target for them with the amount of refugees that are carried abaord her . I want you to set a course for Starbase 375 to offload the Romulans , and I’ll order the Memphis , the Sitting Bull ,  the Carswell, and the Lexington  to join the Kahless in patrolling the sector . Hopefully with more eyes and ears out there more refugees can be saved , and it will make the Klingons think twice about firing upon any Romulan vessels . Haslet out!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The screen went back to the floating debris field  . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Lt. Mendez , set a course for Starbase 375 .” Kor’Tar ordered . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rosa keyed in the cooridnates and replied in her thick Brooklyn accent as she smacked her gum , “Course layed in , Sir .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Engage at warp 8.5 !” Kor’Tar ordered . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Aye!” Rosa replied as the Kahless leaped into warp . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taurin set up the tenth and final sensor platform on the planet’s lush surface and pressed in the codes to activate the the data gathering , so weather , edible plants and lifeforms , and water and oxygen content of the planet would be measured and analyzed . He stood back from the sensor plat form and looked at it proudly , satisfied with the days work finally being done . He pulled out his communicator and pressed a button on it . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Taurin to D’Raako , I have finished setting up my group of sensor platforms .” he said with a grin . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D’Raako sighed and chuckled , “Well I have 3 more left to go !” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taurin shook his head “Would you like some help so you can get finished quicker?” He asked with a laugh . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You’d like tha-“ Her voice cut off . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sounds of disruptor fire followed by her screaming then silence followed . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taurin’s eyes widened at the sounds and he stowed his communicator on his belt and pulled his disruptor pistol and began running to the section of the jungle where D’Raako had been working . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He had a case of tunnell vision as he ran and saw her small frame crumpled on the ground , out cold . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He went toward her with concern , until he was pistol whipped with the butt of a rifle and collapsed on top of her losing consiousness .  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D’Raako came around slowly an opened her eyes , the room she was in was very dark aside from the light from a few computer consoles along the wall , giving off a reddish orange glow . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She tried to move but was restrained to a cold metal chair . Her head pounded from the disruptor blast , and her mouth was very dry . A sudden wave of nauesa hit her  and she leaned over to the right to attempt to vomit , but only dry heaved as her stomach was empty . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sounds of footsteps echoed from far away and got closer . A door on the opposite side of the room slid open and a Klingon warrior stepped through . He hit a control on the wall and the lights switched on , temporarily blinding D’Raako . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Klingon walked over to D’Raako and opened a thermos of water , giving her a quick drink , then quickly takes it back away from her . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I see your finally up , good!” He said .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Allow me to introduce myself , I am General Koraga ,”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Am I supossed to be impressed with that?” D’Raako said with disdain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koraga walked up to her and backhanded her across the face , splitting her lip , she spat out dark green blood and allowed the look of her hate for him to rise . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“First of all , Miss Joran , you will need to learn proper respect for those over you , I only slapped you , your new master would quite probably do a lot more if you were to speak to him in such a tone .” Koraga said . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D’Raako heard what he said , “You mean you going to sell me into slavery ?” she said with a hint of concern in her voice , having flash backs of her chilhood in the Orion Slave Trade before she was rescued by Starfleet . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koraga stepped closer to her his hand touching her cheek , “Yes , if you do not give me what I want .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; “So you want sexual favors from me?” she asked with a scrunched nose . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koraga laughed loudly “My dear , I have no want or need for your services in that department , I am more than happy with what I have already .” He got down and looked her eye to eye , “What I want to know is the fleet movements for the Federation starships for this sector .”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I am a Nurse trained in medicine , I have no knowledge of any fleet deployments .” she responded dryly . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koraga picked up a painstick off the wall and turned it on the tip of it crackeled with red electricity , “Then I hope you enjoy pain!” He stuck the hot tip of the painstick to her ribs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!” She screamed in agony before passing out . &lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar looked out the window of Starbase 375’s bar area while having drinks with Admiral Callahan and Admiral Haslet  , discussing the issue of the renegade Klingon faction . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Thanks to your help Kor’Tar ,you saved the lives of 48 Romulan men women and children , but Gen. Koraga is increasing his reign of terror across the sector , 5 more starships have been destroyed , and they have resorted to using escape pods for target practice , he and his followers must be stopped do you have any ideas?” Admiral Haslet asked as she sipped on her glass of whiskey . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar nodded “Admiral Callahan do you recall about 10 years ago when the were at war with the Cardassian and Breen factions after they developed their own cloaking technologies?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Callahan nodded , “Yes , I do remember that .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar smiled , “And how as my first mission as Captain of the El Dorado I was ordered to put down many sub space bouys that were altered to put out a tacheon field to detect cloaked ships along the Cardassian and Romulan borders?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Callahan smiled , “Damn I do recall that now!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar continued , “And as far as I know none of those bouys have been moved since they were deployed , so they are still active .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Callahan grinned wide and clapped Kor’Tar on the back  , “Kor’Tar , how’d you get to be so damned smart?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar laughed , “I had a lot of help! As much as I’d love to take credit for the sensor bouys along the border , that was an idea brought to me by Janis Alicea , I could tell she would go far in her carreer from that day forward.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Admiral Haslet said , “Well, we’ll have to contact Fleet Admiral Janeway’s office to thank Lt. Alicea for her ingenuity , in the mean time you are to leave with the fleet within one hour .” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taurin awoke with a start on the cold dirty floor of a Klingon holding cell on board a Bird of Prey , his face was swollen and battered , his green blood was dried and caked on his dirty face . They had beat the hell out of him asking him about fleet deployments . Taurin’s only concern was for D’Raako , but everytime he’d ask about her they’d only beat him more severely , he finally learned to play posum and act as if he was knocked out , which would cause them to leave him alone  . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He sat and waited to either be killed or released , not really caring which came first as long as it happened quickly . &lt;br /&gt;The Kahless arrived in the planetary sector near the Bassan Rift and they began orbiting the planet which was being considered for a possible colony site . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Any contact from the away team?” Kor’Tar asked . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commander O’Dell looked up from his console and shook his head no , “Sir I am detcting the sensor platforms and the shuttle , but they appear to be abandoned , no signs of Nurse Joran or Ambassadore Taurin , but there does appear to have been some disruptor fire down there … with a Klingon signature .” He said with concern . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar listened to his XO’s report , “Shuttlebay two , lock onto to the shuttle with the crago transporter apllaett and beam it back on board . Cmdr . Terrell activate the tap into  the Tachyon bouy network see if there have been any hits in the area ,” He stood from his chair and walked over to the Andorian security officer , S’Vinn, “Come with me.” He said as they both walked off the bridge . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Wake up you Romulan P’Tak!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taurin began to stir only to be backhanded across the face by a gloved hand . He spat out green blood . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We have found a Romulan ship in distress ,” Koraga stated with an evil smirk as he activated the veiwer in the interrogation room . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Now tell me the defense plans of the Federation and remaineder of the Romulan Fleet ,” Koraga said to Taurin in a threating tone  . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If I’ve told you once , I’ve told you one hundred times , I have no knowledge of such things .” Taurin said with his parthced throat . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koraga sighed , “Very well then … weapons officer lock disruptors onto the ship’s warp core . “&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The weapons officer hit the controls “Weapons locked .” he replied .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Fire!” Koraga ordered .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three bright green streaks of glowing energy left from the disruptor cannon of the BoP , finding their target at the warp core of the Romulan Warbird , making it erupt into a bright orange explosion  . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taurin squinted at the explosion on the screen as tears fell down his cheeks in mourning of the officrs who were just killed as the deck beneath his feetshuddered from the shock wave of the explosion . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You are a monster, Klingon!  You have no honor!” Taurin spat at Koraga . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“FOOL!!!” Koraga erupted and backhanded him again knocking him to the ground , he pulled out a rag and wiped the green blood off his hands . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two of his officers came into the room with him “Throw him into the cell with his mate , he should at least be able to enjoy his last few hours alive before I excute him  .” He said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two Klingon officers picked up the limp romulan and dragged him into the cell where D’Raako layed asleep on a bench , and they threw him into the cell on the cold dirty floor and they reactivated the red glow of the force field . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D’Raako awoke with a start as he lover was thrown to the ground . she ran over to him . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Taurin? Taurin? Oh I am so glad to see you!” She hugged him hard , not knowing the extent of his injuries . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He cried out in pain “Oh sorry , they’ve beat they everloving hell out of you!” she said . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taurin smiled and laughed , “Well you look better than I am , what have they done to you?” he asked concerned . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Aside frome a few painsticks to the ribs , and some of the gaurds making passes at me , I’ve done ….ok.” she said on the verge of tears . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taurin wiped her tears away, “What’s wrong?” he asked . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Koraga said he is keeping me alive to sell back into the sex trade of the Orion Syndicate, I still have nightmares of that god forsaken life  from what I endured as a child , I don’t want to go back to that life!” she sobbed into Taurin’s arms . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Don’t worry , I won’t let them do that to you my love, we’ll find away out of here” he said as he held her . &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The deck beneath their feet began to shudder and rock . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the bridge Koraga sat down heavily in his captain’s chair “Report !” he screamed above the alarms . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We are cloaked but somehow the federation has found away to pnentrate our cloaking shields ! We are under attack by the U.S.S. Kahless .” The gunner reported  . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just then a hailing signal from the Kahless crackeld through the speakers , “Klingon Vessel , surrender your prisoners and stop your attacks in the sector or your ships will be diabled and you will be taken into custody on behalf of the Federation and the Klingon Empire . Respond.” Kor’Tar’s voice said . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Koraga thought about it for only a amoment and then said “Decloak the fleet around the Kahless and open fire , destroy her !” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Six Klingon ships decloaked around the the Kahless and opened fire . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar gripped the arms of his chair as the bridge shook and sparked around him , “Open a channel to the Federation fleet ! Tell them to decloak and come out firing !” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eleven Federation vessels decloaked and disbaled the weapons on the 6 Klingon ships with volleys of phaser fire and Quantum torpedo fire . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar looked over at S’vinn as he got up from his chair “Now!” was the only word he said as they both went to the weapon’s locker at the bulkhead of the bridge , they both grabbed phaser rifles , and were beamed off the bridge onto Koraga’s damaged ship . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They walked through the cooridoors and shot any warrior that challenged them with heavy stun force . They finally reached the holding cell where D’Raako and Taurin were being held , “Stand back!”Kor’Tar ordered as they both went to the opposite wall . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kor’Tar aimed at the door controlls and fired , causing the controlls to spark and the force field to fall He went in and scooped up Taurin in his arms as S’vinn scooped up D’Raako in his . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Kor’Tar to Kahless , four to beam to Sickbay , Energize!” Kor’Tar ordered as they were all beamed away from the Klingon ship  . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Commodore’s Log , Stardate 2387.19  . We have been success full in stopping the rouge Klingon faction’s progress , and have apprehended the ones responsible for the crimes , we are now on a course for Qo’nos where they will stand trail for their actions . We have recovered our Nurse and the Romulan Ambassadore , they are recoving in sickbay . the data their sensor platforms have gathered suggests the planet they were surveying would make a prime canadate for colonization by the Romulan survivors .

And she looks at the broken cello and begins crying and she tells him to get out and never come back and he leves as she looks over the broke shards of it and sobs .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So earlier I was asleep and dreaming apparently , and from what I could see of my surroundings I was in the lobby of movie theater during after hours , it was dark except for light coming though the glass dors of the exits . The carpet was marroon with what looked like beige diamond pattern in it . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I see this guy walking with what looked like a rather large cardboard half cello mock up , that looked like it was to be mounted to a wall in order to advertise a film or concert . The guy gets closer and it is none other than Johnathan Frakes , the director and former TNG star . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stopped him for a minute and thanked him for signing autographs and taking pictures with me and my girlfriend in Las Vegas a few years back. He stoped and smiled , said it was my pleasure , he shook my hand , and he kept on walking . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I continued loitering around in this lobby , it almost felt as if I was waiting for someone , who I can not say though , as the dream didn’t get into that . But a little while later Johnathan Frakes comes back and this time he is carrying a real cello and he just gives it to me out of the blue! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I stand there in shock and tell him thank you , looking at the wood tone and wondering where the bow is , when another random guy comes up and hands me a violin to go with it . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So needless to say , I am confused as hell LOL&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7566677272310358469-3804066183977651015?l=usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~4/kdQWz2qaSlo" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/feeds/3804066183977651015/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://usskahlessncc-76108.blogspot.com/2010/01/damn-you-heroes-for-influancing-my.html#comment-form" title="2 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/3804066183977651015?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7566677272310358469/posts/default/3804066183977651015?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UssKahlessNcc-76108/~3/kdQWz2qaSlo/damn-you-heroes-for-influancing-my.html" title="Damn you &quot;Heroes&quot; for influancing my dreams!
