A swift half
Feb 10^th, 2006, 3:54pm

OOC continued from Wall of honour Part 2

ON

<< Zoomie Land - Serenity Base >>

Dan saw the barkeeps face drop as he entered, he saw the man blanche as K'Hare entered the room a moment later. He wondered if there had been a passing thought of throwing him out, perhaps a Klingon was the perfect way to break the bar.

"Hey Ed" Said Dan as he perched himself on a bar stool "a keg of your finest bloodwine"

He motioned for K'Hare to take a stool too turning back towards the barkeeper he realised that K'Hare hadn't been refered to as a legs upon his entrance, perhaps Ed had an issue with Klingons - it would be well worth checking in to one day if he needed leverage.

"Here you go" he said dropping the small keg on the desk followed closely by two mugs "No charge Mister Taylor" Ed hurried off before Dan could say another word.

Cracking open the keg Dan laughed

"So K'Hare how has live been treating you in the past few months?"

OFF

OOC: I should note, Dan's in a SF uniform again. Only without rank insigna.

K'Hare took the seat, filled his mug, drained it and filled it again. After looking around the room he got comfortable. "Fate is a cruel enemy. It has trapped me behind a never ending pile of PADDs and bureaucracy. I can only think of one way to make it worse." He took a drink and looked around the room.

"Everyone is staring... giving me hostile looks. I think I like this place."

Dan laughed "I'm sorry to say it might not be you getting the hostile looks, I've caused my fair share of issues in this place since my posting here"

Then he shrugged and added "But who knows, I definately think our barkeep has issues with you. Usually he would have razzed you about being a legs - a non-pilot. Maybe he thought you'd challenge him for your honour if he did"

Dan took a long draught of his drink.

"Thankfully my life has been a mixture of PADD's and real work, I've visited a fair few interesting places actually. Made some new friends too, one of whom I need to introduce you to, Rear Admiral Jackie Clawson, the new TFCO of TF58"

Again Dan paused to drink some of the bloodwine he tried to put his thoughts in to words K'Hare would understand, eventually he realised that probably wouldn't be necessary with the history the pair had shared.

"I've taken a liking to her, she is in the same position I was when they gave me 86 - Lost without direction. I'm trying to help her get her head around the job."

Then he grinned "Oh and I did kidnap her and bring her here for betleH, I believe she wants to fight too. I'm hoping it's not too late to register her?"

OOC: Yes.... literally kidnapped didn't I Jess Grin

For a moment K'Hare thought Dan had used one of those human euphemisms when he said "I've taken a liking to her" but he knew Taylor enough to know that if that was the case, he'd be acting more stupid.

"That's the new caitian, right? You do seem to associate with the unusual officers in bravo fleet." He laughed and took a drink.

"When I said I liked this place because of the hostility I meant because they aren't hiding it. On KDB, its sometimes difficult to tell who my enemies are. I suppose that comes with base command. You are in one place for too long and so your enemies can brace up and attack you at their whim. Maybe I will ask this Jefferson about that."

It was an awkward way to get there but K'Hare wanted to work the CO of this base into the conversation. He'd heard some rumors and wanted to clarify them.

"I'm probably not the best person to discuss John with if scuttle-butt is to be believed, apparently I'm after his job" Dan laughed and took another drink "I have a fairly unique position here, John can't remove me as much as he may wish too."

He grinned to K'Hare "So ask your questions, I will answer honestly. The worst John will do when he hears is throw his toys from his pram"

OFF

I am told I don't pay enough attention to politics and the power games admirals play. I suppose I am just asking what attacks I should expect on this battlefield I try to avoid."

ON

Dan nodded "John is transparrent as hell, he's tried to out manuver me a few times since I've been here. I suspect if he's going to pick a fight you will know long before he starts."

Dan took a drink "He's hardly subtle, and not too fond of politcs himself"

"Having said that" he paused "I don't think you'd like him. In my experaince the man lacks any honour"

He took a long drink and refilled. "Sad for you that you are not Klingon, the solution to manuvering would be direct and efficient."

Dan smiled at K'Hare's comment, it was typically Klingon more importantly it was typically K'Hare.

"Yes I suppose your right, but despite his lack of honour as I see it he does his job for the Federation. Someone somewhere must like him for him to have made Vice Admiral"

Dan looked down realising his mug was already empty, moving to refill it he spoke again "As I understand it John was over ruled by Rear Admiral Duerkes on the subject of Klingon's wearing Daqtargh's. He's not best pleased about it either"

Inviting a horde of Klingons to his 'home' and then demanding they enter unarmed... that would not have been pleasant." K'Hare took a drink. "I take it he is not a diplomat."

Dan cocked his head "He is and he isn't, John is good at playing the diplomat, his greatest failing is not believing what he is saying"

He paused and pointed to his mug an almost universal sign for do you want a refil, while waiting for K'Hare's response he added "He would promise you the world, and as soon as you leave forget you ever existed. That isn't the mark of a good diplomat in my books"

On KDB its not a problem... of course, the House War may cause some ..." K'Hare had a look like he'd just thought of something. "The meH'Haj is acting as a central docking point for the Klingon ships again, right?" His look was more serious.
