We have arrived at the designated coordinates. There is no sign of the Klingons. We will hold this position for the next 12 hours.
USS SERENITY: BRIDGE
Nox: "Sir, Klingon Negh'var cruiser decloaking off the port bow."
Croft: "Tactical Analysis Mr. Nox."
Nox: "Sir, ::looking surprised:: shields and distruptors at green sir. They're not targeting us either."
Croft: "Well, that's a good start. What is their registry?"
Nox: "Uh sir, ::looking apprehensive:: IKS Kang. It's Ja'rod's ship sir, and they're hailing."
Croft: ::bites lip:: Well, let's hope he's put the entire tribble incident to the side. Open a channel...."
CAPTAIN'S LOG: SUPPLEMENTAL
With some further diplomatic effort, I have convinced Captain Ja'rod and his delegation to meet on board The Serenity. Counselor Pouget will be joining me in welcoming our guests in Eight Forward.
USS SERENITY: EIGHT FORWARD
Ja'rod: "Ha! Your humility over my honorable defeat at Minos Korva is typical of the Federation. I will forgive it Ambassador. But let us not pick meatless bones. We are here to discuss the Undine. If you are not prepared to submit to our way of dealing with this threat, then these "peeeace talkssss" will end quickly."
"You have a glorious view of space Admiral. I will enjoy it for myself when I take this ship in our next battle."
CAPTAIN'S LOG: STARDATE 87836.42
The Kang has departed for Klingon space after our brief meeting with the Undine. While no tangible benefits were achieved with the meeting, I have learned much about the motivations of our opponents. Perhaps someday all will learn to embrace our mutual differences. I just hope we all live long enough to see it. Special commendations to my Contact Specialist, Counselor Pouget, and the manager of Eight Forward, Paruul Varsi, for their contributions to our efforts.
