to USS Constitution-B – StarBase 118 Star Trek PBEM RPG
((Main Thoroughfare - Tucker Station))
An unlikely pair stepped out of the gangway leading back to the Constitution and began making their way along the stations main thoroughfare. it was a novel sight for many. A Klingon and a Gorn, both dressed as Starfleet officers walking along and chatting amicably.
Nugra A very noble goal, Lieutenant. I do appreciate you taking the time
to explain. I will admit that, at times, I have issues understanding
others not my own, especially ones who my own people have had animosity
with.
Ba'el: ::laughs: Hah! I'm sure. My people aren't usually so chatty with others at the best of times.
Nugra: I have met Klingons in battle before. In my time in the Gorn
Space Navy years ago, we have had quite a few encounters with your
people's imperial navy.
Ba'el: My father told me stories of encounters with your people. He told me how formidable your people are in close combat. Klingons with scars fro mGorn teeth and claws would show them proudly to others.
Nugra: It honestly was hard not to consider ourselves at war with your
people. We lost quite a few ships along the Gorn/Klingon border and we
made sure they lost quite a few too. You can understand how I may
struggle with not jumping to conclusions.
Ba'el: ::Nodding:: Of course. But, if it helps, your people are held in high esteem by mine as warriors. Even when our forces have engaged one another, Klingons know that there will be tales of glory to be sung afterwards.

Nugra: Respond
Ba'el: ::gestures to them both:: And yet here we are, both wearing the uniform of the Federation. The universe, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.
Nugra: Respond
Ba'el stopped by a bank of turbolifts and turned to face Nugra.
Ba'el: I need to go settle into my temporary quarters before returning to duty. I have enjoyed our conversation Commander.
Nugra: Respond
the swish of opening doors heralded the arrival of a turbolift car. Ba'el nodded and turned to enter the lift. She paused in the entry and looked back to Nugra.
Ba'el: Commander? If you ever find yourself looking for a more "robust" sparring partner, You know where to find me. ::smiles, and steps back into the lift as the doors close::
((OOC: This is a good ending point I think))
