==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: More for the Party== | |||
===by Andy Catterick=== | |||
SD: 2260.355 | |||
Scene: Bridge, IKN DAGGER | |||
Commander Kon of the Klingon cruiser DAGGER stared down at his console and growled. For the past three weeks and for another four his ship had been assigned to patrol along a corridor of intergalactic space that bordered along the neutral zones that divided the 3 great Star Empires. It was a good duty to have. Out here in unclaimed space there was no treaties to worry about, no laws to follow. The result was it was a haven for smugglers and pirates and it meant that he and his crew were able to do what Klingons did best. Fight. Any smuggler dumb enough to cross their pass was a target to be attacked, board, looted and destroyed. It was satisfying, profitable and fine reward for the 6 month tour they had previously endured escorting a science vessel cataloguing gaseous anomalies. But these new orders put an end to all that and he dreamed about the idea of using his disrupter on his comm officer for receiving them. | |||
Still the diversion shouldn’t take too long. A few days perhaps. Perhaps he and his officers could spend a day or two planetside. He had been to Arcturus once before as a junior officer. He and his friends had certainly made their presence know he remembered with a chuckle. | |||
“Helm! Plot a course for the planet Arcturus and intiate at maximum speed.” He orderd. | |||
“At once!” | |||
At least the crew’s effiency remained high he thought sourly as he watched the starscape swirl as the cruiser banked and came about before shooting off into warp. He leaned back in his chair pretending not to notice the looks his bridge officers were making to each other. The dismay was clearly evident and while he could not blame them he hoped one would complain. He wanted nothing better to excise his rage by hitting something, or someone. Perhaps it was an unworthy thought but it would make him feel better. And it was always good to remind them of the food chain. | |||
He smiled at the thought. | |||

Just following up on something Scott had put in his previous post... | |||
