Tell me if this sounds good and funny... ********** Lieutenant Lavelle strolled into Engineering, hoping to catch commander Ch�Par before he went off duty. The Klingon Exchange officer was famous for his lack of social skills, and after hours immediately retired to quarters. This tended to amuse Lavelle.
He liked a challenge.
Taking a quick glance around the enormous, three story tall Engine Room, he spotted the Klingon near the magnetic constrictor coils. He was wearing his Starfleet engineering uniform, with a metallic sash around his shoulder, and his long hair tied into a ponytail in the back.
�Ch�Par!� Lavelle called out, walking over to the officer. He could tell that the Klingon was rolling his eyes when he caught site of him.
�Ch�Par, I just needed to give you this,� Sam said lightly, handing him a padd. �It�s the warp field efficiency reports that captain Arkcana had asked for.�
Ch�Par looked it over, then grunted. �The captain asked me to do this for him,� he said in a deep, intimidating voice.
�I know, but I know that the new modifications have been taking a little longer than expected, and I figured you wouldn�t have the time.�
Ch�Par looked over the padd again. �These tests are very thorough. More thorough then I would have run them in fact. Thank you lieutenant, though you were mistaken. I would have had plenty of time to do the report.�
Sam winked. �I know. All that time alone in your quarters, you�ve got to be doing something.�
Ch�Par grunted, and set the padd down, going back to his work on the constrictors. �What I do in my personal time is none of your business.�
Sam held up his hands. �Fine, fine� You�re right of course. But then, it wouldn�t hurt to have a little fun, now would it?�
Ch�Par eyed him carefully. �Fun? What kind of fun?�
Lavelle grinned. �Well, I know that Klingons love holodecks� But I�ve got something better.�
An hour later and the two of them were standing in Shuttle bay one. The bay was completely empty, as all the shuttles were neatly packed away in their grave chutes. All the officers assigned to the deck were off duty, as shuttle operations had yet to be needed on board.
Ch�Par looked at the empty bay, not quite getting what Lavelle considered to be fun about it. �So lieutenant, what is it that�s better than combat on the holodeck?�
�Just a minute,� Lavelle said. After only a minute, the doors opened again, revealing Dyson and Dr. Dara Sorauf, the ship counselor.
�Ah good, everyone�s here,� Lavelle said. �Well Ch�Par, Klingons are well known for their love of combat� But I�ve found that it�s so, well two-dimensional. I�d like to try something with you, if you don�t mind, in three-dimensions.�
�What do you mean?� Ch�Par asked trepidatiously, noticing the evil grins on the faces of the others.
�Computer,� Lavelle said with a grin, �seal all passageways in the shuttle bay, and deactivate gravitational support systems.� * * * Captain Arkcana walked onto the bridge about to enter his ready room, when commander Reameus held up his hand. He was standing next to the ops station, where Ensign Brooke had taken over for Lavelle. �Sir, someone just deactivated the gravity in the main shuttlebay� Should we reactivate?�
�Oh, no it�s fine,� the captain said with a grin. �Dr. Sorauf and Lieutenant Lavelle are running a test on the affects of zero-g combat on Klingons. It actually sounds like fun, I�m going to join them as soon as I�m done unpacking. What about you, sound interesting?�
Nathan laughed. �Are you kidding? Zero-G combat training with a Klingon? Sounds like a blast.� **********
