"veS'SuS Log: Supplemental
"Following our disastrous encounter
with the Tholians in the Archer System, I challenged Captain Vargan for
command of the veS'Sus and slew him in personal combat. His
incompetence allowed us to be blindsided by the enemy, resulting in the
needless deaths of many of the officers and crew of this ship, to say
nothing of the deaths aboard the bird-of-prey the captain ordered us to
abandon. I submit that Captain Vargan's experiences on Nukara Prime
made him fearful of the Tholians, which clouded his judgment and allowed
so many of our warriors to fall. With the honor of this vessel secured
in the death of its former commander and our dead comrades avenged so
that they may cross the River of Blood and reach Sto-Vo-Kor, I have
ordered the veS'Sus to proceed on a course to tengchaH Kladh, the
starbase along the Klingon/Deferi border controlled by my uncle and lord
of my House, Ka'rel. At present warp speed, we shall arrive in one
day's time. It is my intention to remain in command of the veS'Sus and
lead him and his future crew into battle against the enemies of the
House of Ka'rel and the Empire. My warrior's spirit demands nothing
less of me or those I shall soon have the honor of commanding.
"The winds of war shall flow across the quadrant once again as soon this
ship is repaired and re-crewed. And in the words of Emperor Kahless,
the wind does not respect a fool who dares stand in defiance of it..."
"veS'SuS Log:
"We have arrived at tengchaH Kladh and are
undergoing repairs at its shipyard. Our wounded have been transferred
over to the base's medical facilities, though our losses in key officer
positions will prove more difficult. A Klingon warship is only as
effective as those who man him. I must find the best that the House of
Ka'rel and the Empire have to offer for my ship. I cannot settle for
less than that. And I've never settled for less at any time in my
life..."
"veS'SuS Log:
"Our repairs and refit are complete and my ship
is now better than he ever was. The shipyard workers at tengchaH Kladh
have outfitted the veS'SuS with the latest in disruptor weaponry, his
armor plating has been upgraded, and the new mission pod first fielded
aboard the Vor'Kang-class battle cruiser makes the veS'SuS the equal of
if not better than any cruiser in the quadrant. I look forward to
commanding him in battle, just as soon as I can muster a command crew.
"On matters of the House of Ka'rel, I have entered into an arrangement
with an Orion woman named Nolie and her fence Lireah. In exchange for
conducting repairs at tengchaH Kladh, they have agreed to make their
services available to my House. They may have been killed if not for my
intervention. Better to utilize their...assets rather than discarding
them outright. Too many of my kind shun the contributions of
non-Klingons who serve the Empire. I am not one of them..."
"veS'SuS Log:
"Although I am still lacking senior officers, I
am taking the veS'SuS on a shakedown cruise to test his engines,
traveling between tengchaH Kladh and the Federation outpost Deep Space
9. I would not want the warp drive to fail when we're supposed to be
charging into battle..."
"Personal log:
"This has been a week that I wish I will soon
forget the moment I find a decent barrel of bloodwine. Thanks to
General Karag's lack luster opinion of my command abilities, I was
removed from command of the veS'SuS. Then came the cowardly attack on
our embassy by romuluS'ngan petaQ. And now, thanks to my command potential,
I have been awarded a ship that is quote 'suitable' for a warrior of my
experience: the I.K.S. HoS'ro', probably the oldest bird-of-prey in the
House of Ka'rel's fleet, crewed by officers and warriors barely fit to
walk the decks of a Klingon warship. I feel as if it has been I who
have been struck in the face by a strong fist..."
