Kralasha and K'taro awaited in her quarters. The display came to life and Na'Sa was on the screen.

"How can we be of service General?" Kralasha asked.

"As I'm sure your aware, the Empire has fallen. There is civil war everywhere." Na'Sa told them.

"Indeed, we have heard the unfortunate news." Kralasha replied.

"Did you also know the House H'ruS has been crippled? Many of their worlds are up in rebellion and Rolmoq lost most of his fleet when Qo'nos was destroyed." Na'Sa told them.

"If it were not for the loss of Qo'nos, that would be good news." K'taro injected himself.

"Yes," Na'Sa answered, clearly not pleased her nephew overstepped protocol by speaking up. "Now Rolmoq has but a handful of vessels. He has isolated himself and his ship in the J'wal system. His ship is in need of repairs and he lost his shipyards."

"And you would like us to join your fleet and strike at him?" Kralasha asked.

"Yes and no." Na'sa answered. "Most of our fleet is needed to protect House worlds. I cannot spare any ships. I would like you, Kralasha, to capture his vessel and bring me the head of Rolmoq."

Kralasha swallowed deeply. That was a tall order. "Very well, General. The Hurgh maS will depart for the J'wal system shortly." Kralasha answered.

"Excellent Kralasha, I know you will not fail me." Na'Sa told her.

"I do beg a question, what can you tell me about Rolmoq's ship? The type and how well it is crewed?" Kralsha asked.

"The name of the ship is the baS ro'. It is a Hegh'saq battleship. Rolmoq took in a lot of displaced warriors so it is probably at full strength. Keep in mind he has also surrounded himself with the most loyal members of his house to act as the ship's command." Na'Sa told her.

The color drained from Kralasha's face. "Thank you, general."

Na'Sa nodded as the display went black. K'taro looked at Kralasha, did she say a Hegh'saq class?"

"Yes, she did. Thirty two hundred warriors including House H'ruS fanatics." Kralasha told her junior. "Obviously we cannot intimidate their ship with ours. We are too outgunned."

"So we have an impossible task?" K'taro asked.

"No, we just need a plan." Kralasha replied. "How do we kill a man surrounded by a small army? And then take his ship with a hostile crew aboard?"

"Take control of the bridge." K'taro answered. "And then seal it off."

"If we can sneak up on it, and I know we can, we can get a team on the bridge. How do you hold the bridge?" Kralasha bounced back the idea.

"Seal it off from the rest of the ship," Ktaro told her.

"Yes but for how long?" She tossed back.

"Most of the fanatics will be on the bridge to guard Rolmoq. Once they are killed, we can try to turn the rest of the crew. Either that or we just scuttle the ship." K'taro told her.

"And if House Otlhaq cannot have the baS ro', nobody shall," Kralasha stated. "Alright, I need to call on a friend."

A few hours later Noq't received a call. He saw the signal was from the Hurgh maS. "Kralsha, is that you?" He asked.

"Yes, Noq't. I have a favor to ask." Kralasha appeared on the view screen. "I need your help."

"Oh? Do tell." Noq't replied. Kralasha explained everything to him. "You plan sounds feasible. Your still going to need a team in engineering. There is usually an override stuck in a corner of engineering somewhere."

"Do you know where it is on a Hegh'saq class ship?" Kralasha asked.

"No, that ship is far to new for me. I do know of an engineer who may know." Noq't replied. "I'll contact her then get back in touch with you."
Kralasha nodded as she broke contact.

"Noq't to Ajal, are you there?" He asked over the communicator.

Ajal opened her eyes as she heard her name being called over the com system, she was presently lying in bed with her mate. "Mmmm.. What do you want Nog't?" she asked softly as she gently slid her form out of her mates embrace. "This is going to drag me from my mate, isn't it?" the younger female inquired. "Hang on." as she slipped out of the bed without waking Autumn Yamaguchi.

Her efforts were a total waste of time as Autumn sat up a moment later, both women were now awake as Ajal began to don her clothing. "Nog't?" she inquired. "Whats going on?"

"I apologize if I disturbed you." Noq't replied. "I do need to ask, what do you know about the Hegh'saq class battleship? Do you know anything about it's engineering section?"

Ajal shared a look with Autumn. "Where are you presently?" she inquired.

"I'm in my quarters," Noq't replied.

"I will get my information and I will meet you there." Ajal responded. "Ajal out." as she finished dressing. Her girlfriend meanwhile was still nude. "Wait a moment, Let me dress."

Ajal raised an eyebrow but stood in silence, a few minutes later Autumn came out of the bedroom, dressed in her own uniform. "Lets go." and with that, the two women departed.

A few minutes later they reached Nog't quarters as Ajal tapped the door chime.

"Come in please." Noq't noticed Ajal. "Greetings Lieutenant."

The two women entered Nog't quarters as Autumn smiled. "Hello Nog't." she greeted him in flawless Klingon as Ajal handed him a PADD. "All the information I have on the Hegh'Saq class design. Engineering is armored like a fortress so getting in will be your issue. Once your inside. the target you want is on the port side, in the main office there. You can't miss it. it's the large red switch on the wall." Ajal explained. "I have no way to contact any reinforcements for you." she sighed. "Captain Klonris is the Commanding Officer of the IKS qeylIs Hegh. He's also my Uncle and Captain Di'nal is the Commanding Officer of the IKS mupwI', she's also my Aunt." Ajal explained.

Noq't was cautious about what he would tell Ajal. He knew that she was bound to House H'ruS and didn't want to talk about assassinating the head in front of her. "Thank you, Ajal. This will be most helpful."

"There are only two dozen of these ships available and one of them belongs to my house head." Ajal paused. "There is a reason I'm in Starfleet." and with that Ajal slowly smiled. "If you see my house head, say goodbye from me." as her grin widened. "He opposed my joining Starfleet and having a relationship with a human female." Ajlal regarded him "But let's not discuss my pitiful weakling of a house leader."

Autumn raised an eyebrow. "Noq't. Whats this all about?" she inquired in a soft tone. "Whos is going into battle?"

"The Hurgh maS is getting called to duty." Noq't told them. "And your house leader is far from weak. As it stands, he is still the most powerful man in the Empire."

Ajal slowly grinned as she regarded Nog't. "My house leader is a small minded and ignorant fool" as she handed him the PADD. "Give him a good death in battle, that's all I can ask." as Autumn came over, she gently took the other woman's hand in her own.

"I can relay that message to Kralasha." Noq't told Ajal. "I personally will not be there."

Ajal nodded her head. "Then I will remain out of it." she answered. "Thank you." she paused. "My house head might have my aunt and uncle to call upon, Both of them are commanding Bortasque class ships but you might be able to turn them to your cause. My aunt is the most reasonable."

"Not to be rude but your asking me of things out of my depth." Noq't replied. "If you have any house secrets you would be best to direct them to Kralasha. She is the one after Rolmoq's head."

Ajal nodded. "I will do so. Thank you." she responded before she turned and departed in silence. Autumn watched her leave before she regarded Noq't. "So. Other then the endless wails of those who can't stop fighting. How are you doing these days Noq't?" she grinned up at him, he was one of the few on the Hurgh'maS who had treated this small human with respect from the moment they had met. "Are the peons in Dreamcrushers engine room behaving?" she added, her smile widening.

"I must say, Star Fleet engineers are very professional. I take it things are well for you?" Noq't asked.

"I have no complaints. Minus the stress of wartime." Autumn answered with a smile. "Hows things between you and Lieutenant Deepshadow?." Autumn suddenly grinned. "Have you bedded her recently?"

Noq't laughed. "No, she is much too young for me."

"I'm sure there is a female for you Noq't," Autumn commented. "If you are even inclined about getting laid. Big, handsome man like you deserves much." she smiled. "Oh, I'm not keeping you from anything?, am I?"

"You? Never doctor." Noq't smiled.

"You are too kind." she paused. "No word from your mate?"

"She needs to say nothing" Noq't smiled. "When she was alive I don't think she was capable of silence."

"You still miss her?" Autumn responded quietly. "I understand," she added. "What of your children?" she inquired. "No word?"

"No, not yet. Maybe when the Klingons decide to stop fighting." Noq't replied.

"That will be some time off Noq't. You maybe need to consider that you should have more children." Autumn said quietly. "I know Ajal wants children." she added.

Noq't laughed. "I'm too old and impatient to deal with children." He told her.

"No. You misunderstand me." Autumn responded. "I mean. Ajal wants a child with you. She is unsure how to discuss such matter with you but she and I discussed it at length. You do not have to do anything with said child but she feels you deserve the honor of having your line continue."

"Oh, I misunderstood." Noq't had a look of concentration. "I would be honored to help Ajal produce children."

"I didn't explain clearly enough." Autumn responded. "But you should get back to Kralasha with the infomation you have. We can discuss Ajal's needs, wants and issues at another time." the small female smiled. "But tell Kralasha she still owes me a batch of gagh and a barrel of bloodwine."

"I'll remind her." Noq't told her.

"Thank you. Also wish her a glorious death in battle." Autumn then smiled before she took her leave. "Till next time Noq't."
