General Klag smiled as his battle plan was now in place and ready to go, he then tapped the display in his office as the screen lit up reacting to his touch. "We start early tomorrow. We strike with one thrust into the heart of the Gorn, he will bleed out quickly." Klag was recording his log entry and his thoughts for the coming battle which lay before him.

"We will conquer the Gorn and I. Klag will be the one to make it so. End log entry." he tapped the display as he grinned. "Victory will be mine.."

"My forces will be in the vanguard." Kruloth boasted. "The forces of House H'ruS may stay in reserve. They may be used in the clean up phases."

Rolmoq snarled at Kruloth. "Watch your tongue son of targs."

Kruloth only smiled at Rolmoq. "I'll watch my tongue and you may watch House D'kar earn all the honor."

Rolmoq grabbed the handle to his D'k tahg but did not draw it from its scabbard.

"Do it." Kruloth smiled menacingly at Rolmoq.

Klag regarded the two men before him, a rather cruel smile on his face as he chuckled softly. "Oh please... If you two wish to kill each other then get out of my sight...If you two however are prepared to lead my troops into battle... then please sit down." Klag indicated the two chairs before him.

Kruloth took a seat while keeping his eyes on the H'ruS. Rolmoq took his hand away from his blade and snorted. He also took a seat and turned to Klag.

"Now... Are you two prepared to launch your assault on the Gorn Hegemony?" Klag inquired before he slid two PADD's across to the two men before him. "You will attack into the system directly while you will attack the Gorn forces in the outer system." Klag smiled but it was a cruel one. "You may decide who will do which task."

"The forces in the system are the key to victory and the hardest objective. Since this kind of operation is beyond the capabilities of House H'ruS, House D'kar will take on this assault." Kruloth told Klag with a smile that was missing a few teeth.

Rolomq only looked on Kruloth with disdain. "We will handle the outer forces."

"Yes, you may actually have to have your house actually do something. I guess there is a first time for everything." Kruloth stated.

"Such as you taking a bath?" Rolmoq asked.

Kruloth stood up and took a combative stand. Rolomq just looked at him and laughed.

Klag waved his hand. "Feel free... Hit him, if it suits you." he almost chuckled softly. "You two seem to almost want to fight each other more then anything else."

"I'm not going to waste my time. I don't fancy getting my armor covered in slime." Kroloth sneered.

"I'll see you on the battlefield." Rolmoq cheerfully told Kruloth.

Klag chuckled softly. "Are you both aware of the situation... J'mpok has said that failure will be punishable by death and discommendation of the offending house." he explained. "Do try not to let your houses fail."

"The Chancellor is fool." Rolmoq replied in an unusual bold statement. "Why threaten two of the most powerful houses in the Empire?"

"Does the Chancellor takes us for weaklings?" Kruloth asked. "The Gorn are powerful fighter but they are no match for Klingons."

Klag simply shrugged. "He was the one who said the statement. Not I." he rumbled. "I will keep my own opinions to myself about J'mpok."

Rolmoq wanted to say more but not in front of Kruloth. "If that is all Klag, I have forces to organize."

"Yes. Do depart." Klag answered, he watched as the two Klingons continued to snipe at each other as they departed. He growled. "I am surrounded by fools and imbeciles." he tapped the display on his desk, it came back to life as he resumed his attention to the paperwork on his desk.
