The Counselors Quarters - Meet the Klingon

Posted Oct. 22, 2022, 6:17 a.m. by Lieutenant Do'trahk of House Kholl (Medical Officer) (David Shotton)

At 6ft 4” tall, broad shouldered and sporting a muscular 240 lbs with a shaven head, braided beard and metal eye patch engraved with crossed daggers, the crew of the Saracen could be forgiven for stepping aside to let the powerful form of their very own Klingon doctor pass in peace. That the Klingon Exchange Officer also wore his House Sash over his medical blue tunic depicting the rank of Ships Captain and position as Second Son, plus his families heirloom Kut’luch dagger and leather fingerless gloves with metal studs on the knuckles, may have also added to the presence of the man as he walked down the corridors of the Saracen’s residential area with a plain, brown paper bag in hand.

What Do’trahk couldn’t understand was why so many people hurried to get out of his way. He was only taking his department heads advice into consideration and trying to smile more, so when they smiled and greeted him, he bared his teeth in a wide smile in return. Clearly, this crew was even less friendly than that of the Ark Angel that he had been assigned to as Department Head when he first joined the Exchange Program, and while he had learnt much on that giant Federation ship, the culture of these people still confused him.

Finally, he reached the door of the Quarters that the bag in his hand had been addressed to so he stopped outside and opened it, confirming the contents were still there. Grunting in personal acknowledgement that the bag was indeed still carrying what he put in it, he closed it, scrunched it in one hand and reached forward with the other, ringing the chime to announce he was waiting. Home deliveries were not normal, but also not unheard of. It was time for this weeks episode of that trashy daytime soap that Dr Knight and Nurse Mayvonne seemed to enjoy so much anyway, so it was really a good time for him to step out and do something constructive.
