The scene Avalona walked into in the transporter room would have been extremely funny if Ensign Donaldson did not look like he was going to pass out from fright.  "Well if it isn't Karn Ju'lan D'grulok (Ava said in passable Klingon) I haven't seen you since that biology class we had together in the academy 7 years ago.  I always figured you would work your way up the ranks quickly.  Congratulations Lieutenant."<br/><br/>Turning slightly her smile fading a little as she looked at Ensign Donaldson.  "Your dismissed Ensign and I would suggest you go and read up on proper protocol for greeting crew members."  The Ensign snapped to attention, "Yes Chief.  My apology's Lieutenant... I... I've just never actually met a Klingon before."<br/><br/>Once Donaldson was gone Ava turned her attention back to Karn.  Smiling slightly as she looked at Karn's pet she looked up at Karn and said, "I see your Targ has put on quite a few pounds since the last I saw him.  Has he learned to get along better with humans yet or do you still need to keep him on a short leash as you did back in the academy?"<br/><br/>
