As shuttle rides go, this one was adequate. The Klingon warrior K’Vexx had proven himself to be a valuable member of Starfleet time and time again as he did his best to uphold the tenets of the Federation. He had recently gotten promoted to the rank of lieutenant and was waiting for a posting when he decided to visit his homeworld of Qo’noS. It was not incredibly welcoming. It never was, not this or the first six times he visited. His family looked down on him for his decision to join Starfleet, but he knew it would be in his best interests. A way to protect the peace. As he approached the Dauntless, he looked out the viewport at the Mjolnir-class vessel and it was a stunning site.

Duffel bag in hand, he exited the shuttlebay and made his way directly to the Bridge. No sense in wasting any time. There was work to do.

=^=Lt. Tadashi to Bridge, Shuttlecraft Odysseus has departed the Dauntless; bay doors have been sealed. We are prepared to return to warp.=^=

=^=Understood, Lieutenant.=^= Ael slid her finger from the comm, turning to the helm. “Ensign Pederson, proceed course at warp factor seven.” She waved her hand, “Engage.”

He entered the Bridge and announced, “Lieutenant K’Vexx, Chief of Security, reporting for duty as ordered.”

“Lieutenant,” Aihia rose to her feet, closing the distance between K’Vexx and herself. Towering over most of the officers on the bridge, Ael was a large woman, but her nature was of no consequence to her size. “Welcome to the USS Dauntless, I am Captain Aihia.” She bowed slightly, gesturing to her readyroom. “Please, join me.”

K’Vexx let a slight look of surprise flit across his face as the woman approached him. The captain was a good four inches taller than him. But then again, he was a little short for a Klingon. He quickly composed himself, then nodded. He followed her into the ready room.

“Please, make yourself comfortable.” Aihia gestured to a seat situated across from her desk. “I trust your travels here were uneventful, Lieutenant?” She crossed the room, standing beside the corner of the tabletop. Her readyroom was smaller than most, it wasn’t intended for the meetings she often held there. Although, she made well with what she had.

K’Vexx sat down across from Aihia, sat his duffle bag on the floor beside him, then responded. “Yes, they were… boring.” He looked around the ready room, and a sudden bout of claustrophobia struck him. It passed almost as quickly as it came, but a single bead of sweat pierced his brow. If he was uncomfortable, the perspiration was the only visible clue. He decided to ignore it as he regarded the captain.

“There is no worse kind.” It was hard to tell if Aihia was being sarcastic, or if she meant what she had said. “Tell me your qualifications,” she requested, “I understand you have a file with a list of your recommendations, commendations, reprimands and promotions. However, I’d prefer to hear it from you rather than a computer who thinks it knows you.”

“Yes, of course, Captain,” the Klingon said while he pondered the question. “I made the decision to join Starfleet instead of the KDF for personal reasons, mainly because I feel I can do more good here than in the Empire. I excelled in the Academy, although I did get into a few minor fights. Served aboard Deep Space Nine as a junior officer under Admiral D’Vak’s Omega Force to combat the continuing Borg threat.” He let that sink in for a moment before continuing, “After several successful battles with the Borg and the Undine, I was transferred here with the promotion of lieutenant. They never gave me an official reason, other than the Dauntless needing an experienced security chief. I didn’t question it, but I heard some of the other officers talking about the admiral not wanting a Klingon in Starfleet attire on his task force. That was rumor as far as I know, as I never actually met D’Vak personally.”
