== NPC Lt(JG) Gath ==
A rather low and soft voice of the Klingon Security Officer spoke from a Security terminal. He didn't look up as he reviewed his information, making preparations for departure, "Even an Ensign, should they be assigned to the Bridge, must be prepared, at any moment, to be thrust into manning any position on the Bridge, including the Center Chair. This shouldn't astonish you." He finished something, then turned to face her, a hint of a grin on his face, "I also have discovered that quite often, others will not know if I'm feeling nervous, if I don't tell them that I'm nervous."
Gath looked around the Bridge slowly, "I love this moment, just before departing. That sense of the unknown, that gives a small taste of fear at not knowing what is around the next corner. If a warrior tells you that they never feel fear, they're lying to you. The truth is that they love that feeling. Without that feeling, there is no reason for the blood to quicken or a challenge to rise to. If you know you're going into a battle, you know more of what to expect, just not the outcome. In a mission of discovery, you never know what you will encounter, and THAT is even more daring. Lieutenant Khasim, your people were not only wanderers, sometimes they were also explorers. You come by your taste for it naturally. Like those before you, you're bold. Take strength from your journey."
He then turned to Tactical and stated, "You can show Security at 100% present and accounted for. All our stations are manned and standing by for launch."
