<USS Avalon> More Trouble

More Trouble

Timeline: Immediately after escaping from the brig

Karg knew there must be a stronghold in Engineering and since it wasn't far . 
. .

Rounding a corner he came upon three Tempest officers with Nerys in custody. 
They all had weapons drawn and it must have seemed to them as though Karg 
didn't have a chance. The strangest thing was, he completely ignored them and 
spoke quietly to Nerys. "You OK?"
"My wrists hurt a little. The lieutenant smacked me around a little but I've 
had worse. Seemed like he enjoyed it though."
"Did he?!"

That Karg was angry was obvious. He fixed his gaze on the lieutenant but his 
expression betrayed none of the emotion beneath. Finally the bully spoke up, 
"You've been a real pain in the butt, Klingon."
"That's Commander Klingon to you lieutenant."
Ignoring him the lieutenant continued, "Two of the officers you killed were 
friends of mine!"
"is that so? Did they like to slap around women too?"
"SHUT UP!"

Karg was completely unaffected by the odds. He studied them all and his lack 
of emotion made the officers uneasy. The lieutenant was itching for another 
opportunity. "All right Klingon, let's have your weapons."
Karg almost smiled as though a cadet had moved the wrong chess piece. He 
replied, "Nope."
"What?!"
"You want my weapons, come and get them."
"I don't have time for this! Surrender your weapons now or this woman dies." 
And with that, he put the emitter of his phaser against the side of Nerys’ 
head."

Karg seemed to be physically unaffected as he stared into the eyes of the 
Tempest's lieutenant well except that is for a little twitch in his right 
wrist. 
When he spoke, his voice was low and gravely. "Let me ask you something. 
What's gonna keep me from killing you when your shield is gone?"

Eyes popped open as wide as silver dollars. Its not supposed to go this way. 
The Klingon is supposed to give up! Its been that way in videos for hundreds 
of years. Why doesn't this Klingon know how it works?

Full of anger and frustration, the lieutenant wanted to kill this stupid 
Klingon but acquiring this new target was his final mistake. When Karg’s 
wrist 
shook earlier, a Type 1 Phaser dropped, unseen, into his hand. As the 
lieutenant's phaser moved away from Nerys, Karg shot him in the forehead and 
the officer 
next to him in less than a second. The third officer, a young ensign, 
panicked. He really didn't want to shoot but his surprise caused him to aim his 
weapon 
at Karg.
"Put the weapon down Ensign."
"N, n, no! I’ll kill you!"
Karg shot him.

In another moment Nerys and Karg were in each other's arms. They were . . . 
well, you know. Finally she asked if they should drag these officers into the 
brig and Karg replied, "No need, they won't be going anywhere."
"Your phaser was set to kill?"
"If they wanted to be safe, they should have stayed home."
