"Come" a voice answered the chime a few seconds later. He stepped into the Ready Room as soon as the door opened, taking in the two men already in the room. One was obviously the Captain by the rank on his collar, the other was the Commander, or First Officer. Karn spotted the rank buttons on their collars easily and his memory provided the rest.<br/><br/>"Lieutenant Karn, please come in" the Captain said extending his arm and offering his hand to shake, Karn reached a little further grabbing the Captain's wrist in what Human's termed a "Warrior's Greeting", it was a common enough gesture in the Klingon Empire so to Karn it was just a normal "handshake". The Captain spoke again "Commander MacReady, please meet Lieutenant Karn, our Chief Tactical Officer." the Commanding Officer said introducing the two.<br/><br/>Karn nodded to each in turn and called them by their ranks in turn. As the Captain introduced him to his immediate superior Commander MacReady, he gave the Commander the "warrior's greeting" also, grasping his wrist. "Commander Samuel MacReady," the Commander said introducing himself  "Greetings, though I believe the traditional phrase is..."  And here MacReady spoke - with a somewhat noticeable accent - the Klingon greeting, which in human terms would have translated to something like 'What do you want?'<br/><br/>When the Commander spoke in his native tongue with a hint of an acquired accent, Karn was truly surprised, and pleased. Karn spoke the appropriate response, his own accent much thicker, which when translated would mean something like 'Nothing but, a good brawl, a good drink, an honorable death, and good friends to share it with'.<br/><br/>He looked to the Captain and said simply in Galactic Basic "I had decided that since I had found my room onboard, that I would check in with you sir. Any standing orders?" his gutturally deep voice almost sounded menacing, though he wasn't trying to sound that way. He placed his hands behind his back respectfully and waited.
