Kang's March

A look into the Klingon side of things...

Kang's March

Qo'noS, 2343

Kor, Dahar Master studied his long time comrade, Kang with a mix of annoyance and befuddlement as Kang, as per his usual pattern ever since Kor's appointment to the Imperial Academy's Oversight Board, had come, with Koloth in tow and plucked Kor's candidate list from his hand. Kang would read it without speaking a word and then return it without comment. It was perplexing and a little irritating.

This time was different as Kang paused about a quarter of the way from the top. He seemed to be scrutinizing one name. "This one." He thrust the PADD back at Kor, who took it and stared dismissively at the name.

"Ah! Yes! Martok! A peasant from the Ketha Lowlands. What of him?"

"His family has served the Empire for fifteen generations."

"As common soldiers, Kang. it is clear that young Martok forgets his place."

"I believe this one has great potential. I would sponsor him myself but I would prefer that you do so, my old friend."

"More of your secret information, old friend?" Kor smirked. They all remembered how Kang had arrived at the Battle of Khitomer escorting the Federation Starship Excelsior. Kang had offered no explanation to the High Council but to Kor and Koloth, he had confided that information of Chang's treachery had come from the same source as the information which had helped them track down the Albino with help from Kruge.

"Indeed. Fate has marked Martok for great things, my friend. It would be wise to travel with the river than against it. BUT do mind young Martok that he had better prove worthy of your confidence."

"THAT I can do."

"I thought you might."

"Is he really that good?"

"Do you know Linkasa?"

"Of course! His is a great noble line!"

"Young Martok is destined to conquer the heart of Linkasa's daughter Sirella."

"Sirella? Well then! Who am I to stand in the way of any young man who can manage that!" Kor laughed, raising a cup of blood wine. "Now tell me..." He said then took a drink, savoring it. "What does the Fleet Design Bureau have up its sleeve next? I see you've ordered every D-12 pulled from the fleet."

"Indeed. Defective plasma coils. I believe the last ship off the line is in service to the House of Duras."

"A House full of schemers," Koloth spat in disdain."

"On that, we certainly agree," Kor replied. "I wonder if their blood is a bit thin?"

"Perhaps," Kang noted. "But it will be the duty of others to end their line. At any rate, We'll be adding more Vorchas to the fleet. Kellet's triumph is a masterpiece but requires much in the way of manpower. There's nothing to be done for it. The Imperial Fleet takes precedence over the House fleets."

"So... Another blow is struck against the feudal fleets."

"Indeed. The safety of the Empire is much more important than the glory of a single House."

"Quite."

I wonder if in their final moments the Duras sisters thought about it being odd that their house had all the bad stuff and why?

[EchoWing]

For some reason, I can't help but think the Dominion's in for a world of hurt given all three were alive to fight them rather than just Kor.

[RolkFlameraven]

HA! He has a slightly harder job, doesn't he? Far less information, but what he does have is of massive import. I want to see what he does with it... like that D-12!

While Picard HAD by the time of being assimilated encountered a number of 'Code Sunset' cases, The source of the Information is not included in any database in the 24th Century except at Starbase Independence, the location of which is likewise NOT recorded in any Federation database.

Project Sunset only provides the information and instructions required to handle the situation. Perhaps I should do a chapter on the FIRST Code sunset that Picard ever encountered back in 2355.

I wonder of Gowron's fate in this. overall he was a good leader just made two bad moves.

Yes & overall Custer had a pretty good combat record. He only had ONE bad move.
