Time line: just after arriving in orbit around Talos

"Karg to Commander Skyler."
"Go ahead Karg."
"Ma'am, I’d like to transfer tactical functions to your location. I need to 
get something to eat and so on."
"Very well. How long has it been since you had some sleep?"
"Twenty-seven hours. I’ll be OK. I’ll feel better after some caffeine and 
some chow."

The Bridge crew had decided to use Commander Skyler’s office as a make shift 
of break room. Karg sat at the desk with some coffee and a bowl of Lamb Stew. 
He didn't have a lot of time, fifteen minutes. He could call Nerys if he did 
it while he ate.
"Karg, you don't . . . have you been able to get any rest?"
"Nope but it feels good to spend some time with you. What do they have you 
doing?"
"I'm on back-up for the battle bridge." Something now seems out of place to 
her. "Karg, why are you wearing red?"
"I thought the yellow made my complexion look too sallow."
Nerys is getting used to Karg’s obtuse sense of humor. "And they made you Lt. 
Commander anyway? We should celebrate."
"We will if this Federation doesn't kill us first."

There is silence as the lovers spend these precious moments where words have 
no meaning. Nerys says in almost a whisper, "Be careful Karg."
"As careful as I can."

Timeline: as the Avalon is trying to hide

Karg heard the transporter effect before it had completely materialized the 
invaders. The officer in front caught Karg’s phaser blast square in the chest 
just as he had finished materializing. He ceased to exist in less than a 
second. The officer to his left was a little slow on the draw. In a second his 
phaser dropped to the deck plating. Wrapped around it was the remains of his 
severed hand covered in the blood from his open artery.

In the confusion it caused, Karg ended the life of the third officer. His Mek’
leth was below his waist from the amputation and he instinctively thrust 
upward before the startled officer could fire but Karg couldn't retrieve it, 
must 
be stuck on something. While his attention was divided a second beam, in took 
place behind him and they were ready for him this time. Karg was able to 
dispatch only one of them before a heavy stun blast brought him down. He was 
conscious just long enough to hear, "Someone kill the Klingon."
