"Youre going to have
to duck down when you leave sir, the doorway doesnt open to
full vertical, unlike the ones on the base." The young
petty officer remarked as he piloted the shuttle into the main cargo
bay of the Federation transport. In front of them were placed eight
brand new Valkyrie fighters, destined for the Leviathan. And KaLeth
was going to be in command of them all. There were also a couple of large
shuttles, which KaLeth didnt recognise at first, then
he noticed the Federation Marines markings on the side. "That's fine, Ive been
in more cramped areas before." Replied the young, yet noble
Klingon officer. Hed spent most of the previous day flying
to Mars to meet up with the Churchill. From Mars, the transporter
was heading straight to the Leviathan, a trip of another six days. "Well sir, from what I understand
I hope you can get along with the XO and the CSO on this tub. I
went to the NCO club to unwind one day and they nearly tore up the
place just because the XO said, "Klingons should have never
have fought the Federation, because when they are losing, they dont
know when or how to quit." The remarks made Ka'Leth bristle
and his nostrils flared as a result. "I think its a bunch
of junk personally." The petty officer continued. "And why do you think that
?" Ka'Leth asked, crossing his arms. "Well sir, she means the world
to me." The young man said, showing him a picture of a Klingon
woman and a small infant son . Ka'Leth smiled and said as the shuttle
docked on the Leviathan. "Petty Officer, I admire a man of
honour and conviction. Your son will be a fine warrior." "Thank you sir, she's a school
teacher right here on the Starbase." The pilot replied shaking
Ka'Leths hand as he rose. "She says about us that, The
eagle also soars alone. I still cant figure out that
one." He remarked. The doors opened up and Ka'Leth
replied as he exited. "You're not alone, because neither do
I." The shuttle prepared to take on
more passengers on its return route as the fighter officer stepped
out onto the cargo deck. He was happy to leave his last assignment,
even happier to be with his friend and confidant Aki Taybar, whom
had been given the new commission of Captain of the USS Leviathan. *I have a new command and a new
ship. This is a great beginning for me.* He thought *...and maybe
VMF-214 would stop being so pig-headed on my request. If not for
Taybar, I wouldnt have come here. Let Starfleet put their
vaunted interests in the incinerator where they rightfully
belong.* He then got on a turbolift and went
straight to the Bridge, if there was going to be trouble during
the journey, then he wanted to make it clear that hed never
be the one to start it. As he went in, he asked a crewman the way
to the Captains ready room. The crewman pointed left and Ka'Leth
went in that direction, thanking the young boot as he departed. The doors opened and he said. "Lt Ka'Leth reporting as ordered." |
