### **Pre-Break**

It's been six months since the events of of "Episode 01". IKS *Borqu'* has been spending the time spinning their wheels on meaningless minor tasks, and the crew is getting stir crazy. The only new information they've obtained is that *"gugh'moH"* is the name of a ship commissioned in 2293, but all information on it is classified.

Two weeks prior to the start of the episode, IKS Borqu' was ordered to report to Narendra Station. They are being transferred to the command of GEN Kargan. The episode opens with their arrival. Scans show three other ships docked at the station: USS *Thunderchild*, an *Akira* class Federation starship; IKS *Qu'Vat*, a *Vor'cha* class Klingong battlecruiser; and an unidentified *D'deridex* class Romulan warbird.

The crew transport to the station to report to Kargan. They are greeted by ENS Kelly, a young officer assigned to Narendra Station, and a *jeghpu'wI'* who is Kargan's attendant. CDR e'Daj immediately wraps Kelly in an intimidating bearhug. The crew are escorted to Kargan's offices. Kargan, ADM April Hebert, AMB Jahl, CDR Tagal, Chief Medical Officer N'ria, and the chief Engineer of the station are present, as well.

Kargan is hostile and dismissive of B'emir. Jahl is very drunk, but jovial. Kargan tells everyone assembled about the Romulan presence on Narendra, and that ADM Mendak has recently obtained advanced cloaking technology. He apparently hired the Nausicaans the crew faced down six months ago, for the purpose of obtaining the information needed to build his ship's cloaking technology. He shows them an image of IRW Aehallh, Mendak's ship. He then assigns the IKS Borqu' to search for Mendak along the border of Romulan space. They are to remain cloaked and radio silent.

After the meeting, Tagal calls B'emir aside, and takes her to the Klingon embassy to see Jahl. Tagal complains about Kargan; Jahl warns them not to act against him, directly. Tagal gives B'emir. access to a private channel in case she needs to call for backup on their mission. She invites Tagal to go drinking, and they return to his quarters. They begin to converse over bloodwine, which eventually turns into a sparring match.

Meanwhile, the rest of the crew heads to the bar. e'Daj spots Ensign Kelly with her friends. She invites herself into their group, passing drinks and engaging in loud, bawdy conversation. They move the party to a private room, where she does some intelligence gathering before things get really interesting. Qotar asks around about Fight Night, and gets directions. He, Omeq, Ra'amyan head down for some action.

### **Post-Break**

It's Klingon Fight Night! Qotar and Omeq sign up for a fight. Ra'amyan plays the hype-man, introducing them both to the crowd. Omeq wins his fight against a Reman opponent quickly; the crowd erupts in cheering. Qotar wins his fight against another Klingon opponent after drawing a lot of blood.

The next day, B'emir wakes up in Tagal's bed. Tagal convinces her to move against Kargan if he acts suspiciously. Tagal is worried that Kargan is only sending one ship to hunt down *Aehallh*; he thinks it might be a trap. B'emir says that he worries too much. e'Daj wakes up in bed with Ensign Kelly and her friends.

The crew sets off on their mission to the Iconia Sector. Once they arrive, Omeq runs a scan; he discovers energy signatures in a nearby star system. When they arrive, they
find a recently destroyed Tellarite trading ship. Marks on the debris indicate it was destroyed by Romulan plasma torpedoes. The crew investigates, and senses a life-sign in an escape pod not too far away; they beam the pod aboard their ship. Inside is a Tellarite trader, named Woth, who tells Qotar he was delivering a shipment of Trellium-D to an unknown buyer. The buyer turned out to be Romulans, who fired on his ship instead of paying.

Woth tells them his contact man was a Ferengi named Skrag, who he was supposed to meet on Risa after the deal. B'emir makes an agreement to help Woth track down Skrag and get revenge, in exchange for Trellium-D. In order to not abandon her post, B'emir calls CDR Tagal and requests a ride for some of her crew to search for Skrag.
