"we were in cruise mode when we detected a long range scan of our ship... we altered course to find out who was scanning us when we found ourselves nose to nose with a Klingon Warship on it's way to earth to resupply it's Embassy there with new personnel... Not much s known about Klingons... they tend to be a secretive race... until you get them drunk, and then... man you will learn more about their glorious past and their warrior ways than you really wanted to learn...and it's so easy to get them drunk.... Their Embassy was set up in Canada.... they did research on all the places to build and settled on Canada... because of the sports... They loved Hockey and Battaway... uh Lacrosse, considering them to be honorable team combat sports which easily mimics warfare....they consider Pro Wrestling to be Comedic Opera"... they also have a taste for Canadian Beer and Rye Whiskey... and we learned, the hard way on occasion... that it's always advisable to keep them happy. We exchanged a few pleasentries....the Klingon Commander was a little tight lipped especially when he found out that we we the first Earth vessel going out into the black... before they blasted away, the Commander gave us a bit of advise, saying that the black holds many mysteries, and things will happen that you can't explain.... and that you shouldn't even try... Their ship was a brute of a design...8 Atomic Engines, a huge railgun slung under their main hull.... every surface area was worn, dented.. painted green... this looks like it's going to be a monumental voyage..." Esn. Grupov Neihn... Navigator I always liked Klingon ships... Federation ships always seemed like luxury cruise liners to me... amped up the atomics on this one.... comments welcome, please enjoy!
