Ensign K'Lara stared at the stars as they passed by at warp eight. She smiled as the realization hit her. She was flying a Federation ship. Of course, she flew a ship before, but that was only a Klingon ship. They really were not that hard to pilot. She could get used to this. She wondered how it would handle during a battle. She could almost picture it.
Location: Deep Space 15
K'Lara thought back to the Briefing on Deep Space 15. She was so excited that she almost told the speaker to hurry up. She kept her fidgeting under control, but her Klingon side wanted to get to the action at that moment. She almost ran out the door when they were finally released. She grabbed her dupple bag with all her belongings in it and headed for the ship.
"You are Ensign K'Lara?" Captain Stephan Maruu asked her before she went in.
K'Lara nodded and shook the offered hand, "Yes, I am, Captain."
The captain smiled and turned to the person who was with him, "This is Commander Surok."
K'Lara shook Surok's hand and nodded, "Pleased to meet you both. I am excited to be piloting this ship. I hope this mission will be a good one. Kapla' to both of you, Captain, Commander."
K'Lara smiled as she walked away. This was going to be an adventure, yet. She put her stuff in her assigned quarters. She decided to put them up later. She could not wait to get to the Bridge.
Location: USS Virgo
K'Lara couldn't keep the smile off her face as she piloted the ship. She couldn't wait for the adventure to begin.
