Sam whisled even louder after she had left Miranda's. She was on happy security officer. Four days on a Klingon Bird of Prey, what more could she want.

She darted through the corridors, finally away from the Zion, change of scenery, fresh gagh it would be hard Sam realized. True Klingons were no pussies, she had heard that when one of the officers wanted to get higher up they had to challenge that person currently holding that particular position.

Taking the turbolift down to the security office Sam began to think, she needed to brush up on her Klingon language as well as their code of honour. But that was all of a later date, for now she needed to ask Lt Jarvis if it was o.k. to go.

Upon entering Sam noticed Mellissa sitting with her head in her hands.

"You alright chief,? she asked. "You look pretty tired, anything I can do for you?"

"I am alright Sam. What can I do for you," asked Melissa.

"The Captain just told me that I could go on an four day trip on a Klingon Bird of Prey."

"That sounds like a wonderful idea. Klingons are warriors. You will learn a lot." Melissa smiled. "If you get a chance do not pass up combat training with them. Hand to hand or with weapons. "

Sam nodded. "I will certainly ask them."

"When do you leave?"

"What I understood it will be tomorrow."

"Very well, good luck Lieutenant." Melissa Smiled. In a way she wished she was going. She had been lucky enough to serve aboard a Klingon vessel during the academy. It had changed her life.

"Is there anyting I can take back for you. I mean you like ancient weapons?"

Melissa fixed Sam with a stern look, "Sam this will not be a vacation. Any items that you bring back with you you will have to earn." Melissa's gaze was intense. "Do not take this lightly."

Sam's eyes locked with Melissa's. "I know that this will be a tough 4 days chief, and I will make sure that I will interact with the Klingon crew with honour and respect. I know a bit about Klingon hierarchie and such and I will not take it lightly."

"I will make sure that my duties for the next four days will be distributed amongst the other securitymembers."

"Thank you."

"So you have any last minute tips for me Chief," Sam asked with a smile.

"You must be strong. The Klingons value honor and despise weakness. If you keep this in mind you will survive." Melissa looked at Carter "You will learn to control your fear and use it as a weapon. Be aggressive but above all else be strong Sam."

"Yes chief, thanks for the advise. Sam turned and left.
