Prologue:

The Triton crew, disguised as Klingons, were invited to H`atoria by Governor T`argl for a feast and to tell tales of glorious battles. Of course the Triton crew have other ideas which may not get carried out at the moment.

Picking up some stranded Federation citizens seemed like a simple mission for the Triton, but now things have gotten a lot more complicated. The passengers seem to have been turned into prisoners and locked away on some remote part of H`atoria.

Damage to the prison is extensive and the passengers are enduring hardships in the aftermath of the ion storms. So now the question is, how can Captain K`Vas and his band of rubber, ridged Klingons, rescue them and get the heck off the planet with their heads still attached?

Insults and dirty looks seem to be the recipe for a good time at this Klingon dinner. Standing toe to toe..ridge to ridge! Who said Klingons don't know how to have fun?

Ready, set, brawl!

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Triton in "H`atoria".....Chapter five " A Brawling Good Time"....Stardate 10609.14

Host T`argl says:
CO:  K`Vas, I rule here and your slaves are nothing to me.

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Clearly hearing herself growl low at first but not it is next to a roar of pure hate and anger.::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl: You rule this outpost.  ::scoffs::  I rule a house of the council.

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::This time she stays quiet but is hearing the confrontation and watching for any movement towards the captain.::

Host T`argl says:
CO:  K`Vas, here you rule nothing unless I consider you worthy and you came here as a guest, now you challenge me?

ACTION:  Several Klingons move closer to T`argl their hands on their weapons.

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::she takes one step closer to the captain as the others move close to T'argl::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl: You have done all you could to provoke me, to see if my warrior blood would boil.  It boils, and unless you want your blood spilt you will allow me to complete my orders from the council.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Licks his lips and feel his blood starting to burn.::

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Snarls at the Klingon across from her.::

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Her blood already boiling and her heart yearning to defend her house and her honor she locks onto the Klingon standing next to T'argl.::

ACTION:  Someone picks up a bowl of gagh and pitches it across the room as all watch it land on the FCO's head with a thud.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Feels something hit him in the head and he turns to see who through it.::

Host T`argl says:
::Takes his blade from it's sheath and shoves the tip into the table.:: CO:  A challenge it be.

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::J'Loni watches and her body is set for a lunge at T'argl.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Reviews the science data provided by Rico on the time warp theory.::  Thinks to self:  If this works, he'll probably get his name in some SF magazine or something.

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Tenses in preparation to begin swinging.::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl: I will tell Chancellor Gorkon you fought well.  ::Raises his cane and extends the large nasty blade concealed within.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Sees the Klingon that through the gagh and moves toward him.::

ACTION: The CSO makes a quick move and a nearby Klingon reaches out and slices his blade across Rico's nose, laughing all the while.

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Thinks a sec Chancellor Gorkon?::

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Moves quickly to defend the CSO.::

Host T`argl says:
::Roars with a belly laugh.::  CO:  It seems your young warrior there wishes to lose his parts quickly.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Sees Polo bleed and charges his attacker with a loud yell.::

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Can't contain her anger and gives a loud blood curdling howl.::

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Joins KBari, swinging a spiked gauntlet at Rico's attacker.::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
::Makes a quick pass with the razor sharp blade trying to cut something minor off of T`argl.:: T`argl: He is not the only one that will lose his favorite parts today.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Gets up out of the big chair and starts to pace on the bridge.::  Self:  They say no news is good news.  Must be some party they're having down there.

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Slides slowly almost next to her captain eyes burning hot with fire and blood is now next to being uncontrollable.::

Host T`argl says:
::Moves to the side deftly.::  CO:  K`Vas, this is not for us.  Sheath that blade and we will talk privately before I give you one more scar on that ugly face.

ACTION:  As the CEO lunges, the attacker backs off and laughs.

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Enraged she swings the her bat'leth and rakes the attacker from the side.::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
::Pauses and retracts the blade.::  T`argl:  Agreed the empire has enough enemies without its warriors fighting each other.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@<Dr. Morgan> ::Notices Sam pacing.::  XO:  Sam, you're going to wear a hole in the bridge.  Don't worry.  The Captain's a resourceful Klingon.  They're probably just sitting down and passing the breeze.

Host T`argl says:
All: Hold!

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Pulls her punch at the last second.::

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Jumps to her feet ready to swing again but holds when she hears the words.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Looks at T'argl, then back to the other Klingons.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Not sure what to do but holds his position.::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
ALL:  Sheath your weapons, that is the order of your captain and lord.

ACTION:  Everyone stops and just stands there.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Growls at the other Klingons and he sheaths his weapon.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Grins at him.::  Dr. Morgan:  Am I that obvious?

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
CO:  Yes, Lord K'Vas.  ::Sheathes her weapon and slings her bat'leth on her back again and returns to his side snarling the whole way to the captain's side.::

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Drops her fists.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Walks over to a replicator and orders a nice soothing cup of green tea.::

ACTION:  Fresh food is brought in and laid on the table.

Host T`argl says:
All:  Eat and drink.  Use the slaves as you wish.  I would not like to see anyone left out.  ::Hits K`Vas.::  CO:  This way.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Takes a leg of targ of the ground and starts to eat it.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@<Dr. Morgan> ::Just shakes his head, and is glad he can be there for Sam.::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
K`Bari:  Helmsman, drag my slave to the slave pit and leave him there till I call for him.  If he wakes up while you drag him, hit him again

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::still with her blood boiling and not ready to leave her captains side she follows::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
::Follows T`argl.::  Crew:  You heard our guest, feast and drink with your fellow warriors.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Swallows the food then moves over to the OPS body.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Drags the OPS body toward the pit.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Takes the cup of green tea and returns to her seat.::

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
CO:  Lord K'Vas shall I come or wait?

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Grabs another hunk of Targ and another mug of wine.::

ACTION:  The Captain is led into a smoke filled room, dimly lit and smelling of Klingon sweat.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Kicks opens the pit and tosses him in.::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
MoBri:  You stay and partake of our host's generosity.

ACTION:  In the pit, OPS is pounced on by other slaves hoping to find food.

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
::Enters the room and tries to get his bearings.::

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Bows.::  CO:  Yes, my Lord.  ::Giving a quick cross chest salute she turns and rejoins the party but sits silently.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Laughs as the slaves fight amongst themselves.::

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Not wanting to use her Betazoid part she relents and quickly mentally locates the captain and stays with his presence.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Looks around to see if other Klingons are looking.  Then throws the targ leg into the pit.::

Host T`argl says:
CO:  K`Vas, your warriors are fit and ready to defend your house.  ::Motions to a chair.::  I should like to have them as friends.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@Dr. Morgan:  So what are you going to do if we can't get back to our own time?

ACTION:  OPS' clothes are torn away and slaves pull at his obedience collar.

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl:  A house of the council is only as strong as its warriors...and its allies of course.  ::Laughs bearing his fangs.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Moves back over to MoBri.::

Host T`argl says:
CO:  Aye, and as beautiful as it's women eh?  ::Chuckles.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
MoBri:  We should check in with the Triton soon.

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl:  True.

ACTION:  Somehow, unnoticed by everyone, the CTO is thrown into the pit as well.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@<Dr. Morgan> XO:  Well first, I think I trust Rico's theory on the time travel more than anyone else's theory.  He's a smart guy.  If anyone can get us home, he can.  But .. if we're stuck here, it'd be nice to look up my great grandparents on Earth.  I never had a chance to meet them.  It would be interesting ..

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@<Dr. Morgan> XO:  .. even though I wouldn't be able to tell them who I am.

HM_LH_KBari says:
MoBri:  I'm going to update the ship.

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Keeps an eye on the CSO, making sure he is all right.::

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Nods at the FCO.::

Host T`argl says:
::Pours two steins of ale and hands one to the Captain.::  CO:  Here, some obscure Romulan ale.  It's not bad for an inferior race.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Moves to the back of the room and pulls out a old Klingon communication device.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
*XO*:  Triton come in.

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl:  Agreed, but a rarity since the bottles of ale rarely survive the destruction of the ship carrying them.  ::Takes his stein.::

Host T`argl says:
::Sits and puts his feet up.::  CO:  Now about this mission of yours....::waits for a response.::

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Laughs loudly at an off-color joke made by a Klingon near her.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Tries to hide the sadness in her eyes as she thinks about the people back home... Mom, Dad, her 3 sisters and brother .. Ian.::

ACTION:  The CTO is besieged by slaves, but his cries go unheard as they rip at his clothing.

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl:  This is a mission that the chancellor has taken some interest in.  He believes that the vessel the prisoners were traveling on and the prisoners themselves might be of benefit to the empire.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Hears the comm and nearly jumps out of her seat, spilling the green tea all over the captain's chair.::  Self:  Whoops!

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@*K'Bari*:  This is the Triton.

Host T`argl says:
CO:  Benefit?  New weapons perhaps, a new cloak?

HM_LH_KBari says:
*XO*:  We have made contact with Klingons, and the CO is talking with the lord in private right now.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Wipes the green tea off the Captain's chair.::  Self:  It's about time you check in!

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@*K'Bari*:  Understood, is there anything you need?

ACTION: A rather small Klingon female looks over at the FCO and winks, biting her lip at the same instant.

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl:  Unknown, they believe that the power source could be of use, as for the prisoners most likely weapons testing and development.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Growls and the smiles back at her.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
*XO*:  No sir, KBari out.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Grabs the female and pulls her close to him.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Closes the comm channel.  Then gets up and sits in her own chair as the Captain's chair is still wet.::

Host T`argl says:
::Rubs his chin.::  CO:  Interesting. Our sensors did not pick up anything unusual during the scans.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Starts to sniff her neck and face.::

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Sitting alone still with her mind in full Betazoid mode she can still sense her captain and all is well with him and slowly sipping on some Necti.::

ACTION:  The Klingon woman bites deeply into the FCO's neck drawing blood.

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl:  The ship that I have claimed as my own after capturing it seems to have make the council curious, they know that the other vessel is larger than mine.

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Watches with the FCO interest, considering a earlier discussion she had with Rico.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@<Dr. Morgan> XO:  I sense some apprehension in you, Sam?  You okay?

Host T`argl says:
CO:  As yes, your ship is unusual. Where did you get her?

Host T`argl says:
<KW> FCO: Ah you taste sweet, like a human.  ::Licks his face happily.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Pushes the female away and slaps her.::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl:  According to their ships database this Federation calls the planet Mars.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Gives him a smile.::  Dr. Morgan:  Yes, I was just thinking about my family.  No worries.

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Sees the action and stands quickly but realizes what is going on and sits back down again and continues sipping her Necti.::

Host T`argl says:
<KW> ::Grabs him.::  FCO:  You like me.  I can tell.  ::Growls low.::

Host T`argl says:
CO:  Mars?  This DIvI!  All we hear is of this Federation!

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@<Dr. Morgan> XO: Speaking of family ...  ::Stops and then looks away for a second, then back at Sam.::

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Grins at the "fun" the FCO is having.::

ACTION:  Two more Klingon women swarm the FCO and begin making overtures to him.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Wipes his blood off the Klingon woman’s chin.::  KW:  Even though I like you, if you call me human again I will cut you down were you stand.

Host T`argl says:
<KW> FCO:  I like you.  ::Glares at the others.::

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Grabs more food and wine.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Feels her face turn pink.::  Dr. Morgan:  And if I said yes, then what?

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Just sits there being impartial and watching.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Looks at the other females and lets the first female go.::

Host T`argl says:
CO:  This ship, the council wants you to take it back to where?

SS_SH_K`ata says:
Self:  Might as well have dinner along with the show.

ACTION: A fight breaks out with all three Klingon women, one of them knocking Meadows to the floor.

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl:  Q'Onos of course, but with the ion storms we may have to alter course if we are to tow this vessel.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Hits the floor and then gets back to his feet.::

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Restrains herself from going to help, knowing that all would misunderstand.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Moves over to a chair and takes a seat.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@<Dr. Morgan> XO:  Then we set a date, and we talk about where it is you want to settle down?  You want to stay on Triton?  Go to the starbase?  Go back to Earth?

Host T`argl says:
CO:  These storms are creating problems for all parts of H`atoria.  Why, even my prison defenses are not operating well.

ACTION:  A blade rakes across Meadows cheek but no one sees where it came from.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Stands up and howls.::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl:  What part of your defenses are damaged, perhaps my engineers might be able to help.  They might even incorporate some new technology, for an ally of my house

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Jumps to her feet and heads in the direction of all the howling KBari.::

Host T`argl says:
<KW> All:  Back off, I claim him!  ::Pulls her dagger and stands there in a crouch.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Tries to keep her mind on her work, but finds it difficult knowing they're completely gone from "real" civilization as she knows it.::  Dr. Morgan:  Okay, let's do it.  My answer's yes.  ::Gives him a smile.::

Host T`argl says:
::Grins, his pointed teeth exposed.::  CO:  The defense net is damaged, but any aid would be welcomed by a friend.

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Looks at K'loni, so she'll know what to do about the FCO's predicament.::

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Quickens her pace and arrives with her jejtagq drawn.::

ACTION:  A big Klingon male grabs J`loni's arm to stop her.

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Glares at KM but sheathes her jejtaq but remains next to him.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Feels his blood burn again as blood runs down his face.::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl:  As soon as my crew has filled their bellies I will have them begin repairs.

Host T`argl says:
<KM> CEO:  No!  You stay here and let them fight.

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@<Dr. Morgan> ::Pulls the ring from his pocket that he had taken from Sam's dresser earlier and puts it on her finger.::  Whispers to Sam:  We'll talk about a date later.

Host T`argl says:
CO:  Agreed Captain. We will work together on this.

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl:  Very well.

ACTION:  During the fight, Rico is knocked down and dragged towards the pit.

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Goes after Rico.::

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Sees K'ata run passed him and watch where she is running too.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Sommers says:
@::Admires the sparkling ring on her finger.::

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Reaches the person dragging Rico away.::

ACTION:  Laughter is heard as Rico joins the others in the pit.

HM_LH_KBari says:
::Follows K'ata and he see her stop the Klingon with the CSO.::

Host CO_Captain_K`Vas says:
T`argl:  We should return to see if my crew still breathes or if they have mated with all of your females.  ::Does a huge belly laugh and slaps T`argl on the shoulder as he stands up.::

Host T`argl says:
::Laughs.::  CO:  Indeed, although the colony could use fresh blood.

SS_SH_K`ata says:
::Reaches the pit and prepares to go in after Rico.::

CE_la`Hom_K`Loni_MoBri says:
::Does not move but watches.::
