“Don’t worry my friend. This is my first tournament too. Barkeep?”
The bartender came over with pad in hand.
“Yes Admiral?”
“Get my friend here what ever he wants and bring the bill to me will you?”
“Yes Admiral”
After taking the drink order, Rolf listened to the warrior talk about his career.
“Interesting, well be thankful that you’re just a first officer. Once you are in command, things look different, especially when your superiors expect you to do the impossible. “ Rolf takes another sip of Haydian Sea Punch. “I entered this tournament to find something I missed. Over the past year, I’ve made decisions. Some decisions I’m proud of, some decisions hurt like hell. Between you and me, I’m actually thinking of resigning from Starfleet. I have no business being here right now. I should have followed my people’s traditions and stayed home until I turned 100 years old and then go out into the world.”
Rolf sighed and continued to explain to the officer the events of their previous mission involving the Bixx. They are a race who wanted to evolve into the now infamous Borg.
“It’s a shame really. All of my critics think I have it made. They think I’m able to just automatically come up with a decision but it isn’t that easy some times. Some days I wish I never found Atlantis or went on that quest to find the city. But there are some days when living there do have its advantages. Sorry if it sounds like I’m ranting my friend. Remember earlier I told you I missed something, part of the reason I came here was to see if I could get my confidence back. It’s been missing for a while and I’m starting to question a lot of my actions I’ve made lately.” He then looks the officer in the face. “Now you see the burdens of command. Now you see the incredible responsibility that can be habituated upon you.”
Rolf sighed as he finished the last part of his meal.
“I hope that’s something you never find out my friend.”
Rolf gladly paid the remaining tab for the Klingon’s drink.
“I’ll see you at the tournament.”
