Star Trek Outpost Beta 6

Klingons off the port bow!

Things at Outpost Beta 6 returned to normal fairly quickly. Concerns about the Borg have abated and concerns about what's hot for spring fashions have commenced. Fashion has always been a concern, since phasers are hard to accessorize with, especially the goofy ones that look like dustbusters.

Over at Commander Riker's quarters, a big discussion about what to wear for the big Starfleet Victory Dance is underway.

Hmmm... what do I wear with my phaser which will make me look cool?

I recommend a batleth - they never fail!

This is illogical.

Blast it, Spock! You and your Vulcan logic! Everyone knows the best accessory for a Starfleet uniform is a medical tricorder with a Denobulan leather carrying case.

Is not.

Is too.

Is not.

Is too.

Gentlemen! Gentlemen! There is only one way to settle this... with honor. A death match! I'll call the Klingon High Council to get the Swords of Wrath sent over right away.

We will come right away. Sounds like fun!

Hissssss. Hissssss! Hisssssssssss!

But, the Klingon ship decloaks in a restricted area. This causes a red alert and cancels the fight- for now.

Command HQ reports a Klingon battle cruiser decloaking right over a drive in movie theater.

Again with the Klingons... did they pay admission?

They did not, sir. And, to make matters worse, they are in violation of treaty by bringing their own refreshments and bypassing the concession stand.

Red alert!

Preparing to launch photon torpedos!

Halt!

It's the Krono Lisa. She's an ally. What can I do for you, Krono Lisa?

Hold your fire. We have come to see the blood feud flight.

The request was processed at the colony's Auxiliary Command Outpost

You are cleared. Come on aboard. Stand down, Defiant.

Oh, alright. We never get to blast anyone anymore. That's why we joined Starfleet in the first place.

The Klingons beamed down here to see the blood feud.

But, by the time they got there, both Bones and Spock had been taken to Sick Bay from exhaustion and hoarseness.

In closing, let's provide the Klingon guests some humor:

Q: How many Klingons does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: None. Klingons aren't afraid of the dark.
