Before she could follow him the transporter been swallowed her and all her belongings, she reapeared a few seconds later aboard the USS Independence.
tamyoH stepped down off the pad and walked over to the man stood waiting by the console.
"Commander," began Zack, trying hard to put a smile in his voice and largely failing. "I appreciate you being able to make it here on such short notice. Welcome aboard the Independence. Zack Gillibrand, son of Elias, at your service." Zack extended a hand in greeting to the imposing Klingon.
tamyoH took the offered hand and shook it , her grip strong but not crushing. "Thank you Captain Gillibrand, tamyoH Daughter of T'kar of the house of Nagh at your service." she said formally.
"We've still got a bit of time before this party starts. I'd like to get you fully cleared and briefed on the Gateway Project before then. Let's go to my Ready Room...since this is classified material." Zack said as he motioned toward the exit.
tamyoH nodded, "Aye Captain." she said and followed him out of the transporter room, leaving her things to be moved to her quarters by a couple of crewmen who had been waiting off to one side.
The pair began to walk down the corridor. Zack leaned over and spoke in a hushed voice.
"When I heard you were coming, I made sure live gagh and a few other Klingon items were added to tonight's menu. I look forward to trying the rokeg blood pie personally," he said with a slight chuckle as they reached the Ready Room doors.
"Thank you Captain that is considerate of you, I had not expected any special treatment. Klingon foods are not all as bad as people think, we even cook some of it." she said with a chuckle.
"Well I don't consider edible food special treatment, Commander," said Zack as they crossed into the Ready Room. "Welcome to my personal sanctum sanctorum. Please, have a seat," Zack said as he sat down behind the desk. "First and foremost, just to let you know I really hate being called Sir. Captain is fine, and call me Zack in private please."
tamyoH followed him into his office, she sat down in the offered seat and watched him as he took his seat behind his desk. "Many consider anything that does not come from a replicator as special treatment, as for how to address you I shall do as you ask Captain when around others and Zack when alone such as now. So Zack just how bad a hornets nest have I been dropped into this time?" she asked with a slight grin.
"Well this Gateway business has the Fleet brass all worked up. It's an extremely powerful piece of technology--most galactic powers, both friends and foes, would kill for the ability to instantly transport across interstellar distances. It would be an enormous tactical advantage." Zack passed a PADD across the desk. "These are your command codes. As well as a short summary of the Gateway Project. Not exactly Shakespeare, but still important."
tamyoH took the padd and scanned it quickly getting her codes memorized and then put the padd away, "Other than this party tonight is there anything I need to know about right now?" she asked as she sat staring directly at him.
"We're leaving at 0900 tomorrow morning for a Mapping survey of the Hopi Expanse in sector 575. Not thrilling work by any definition of the word, but it's our orders nonetheless. I'll expect all departments to report in to you no later than 0800. I should probably give you time to get into dress uniform, too."
"Understood, I shall ensure you have the reports by 0815. Now I must ask what your stance is on my carrying my personal weapons. What you will and will not allow me to continue to carry, each ship and each Captain has their own preferences so it is easier to ensure what they are." she stated as she knew most of what she carried was not even visible.
"If any of them are energy weapons, all I ask is you submit them to be scanned and authorized by the computer, you can do that in the Armory. All energy weapons will be limited to power setting of 7 unless I authorize higher. As far as bladed or other weapons...as long as you can carry them and still wear a regulation uniform then I have no problems with them."
"I do not carry an energy weapon unless on an away mission, bladed weapons however are a different matter. I always have at least 6 blades on me, 7 if I am carrying my daq'targ. I thank you for the permission to continue to carry them though Zack, do you require any information on the weapons at all?" she asked her tone was warm and friendly but had a hard edge to it, and when she smiled it only made her look more fierce due to her severe scaring on her face and neck.
"If you feel that information will be needed. My theory on things of this nature is that there needs to be an implicit degree of trust between a Captain and his XO...and by exercising appropriate restraint in the use and handling of your personal weaponry, you will be affirming that trust. Agreed?"
"Agreed, and as my main weapons are hidden I feel you should know where they are. You never know when you may need one of them. " she said and grinned, "I carry 6 purpose made throwing knives hidden in my baldrick, they are not visible when worn and are not normally picked up in a scan for weapons." she stated then to prove her point took one of the blades from it's place in her baldrick and handed it to him hilt first.
Zack took the offered weapon and examined it closely, turning it over on his palm. He ran the finger nail of his right index finger down the blade--it was indeed sharp, an impressive weapon. "This is superb craftsmanship, like nothing I have seen before. Are they custom-made?"
"Thank you, I am honoured by your compliment. I make all my own weapons, and those for my House. I am also one of the two brewers in the House, the other one being my mother." tamyoH said with pride in her tone.
"Brewer? Really now," said Zack with a distinct sense of curiosity. He had sampled a few Klingon spirits in the past, including chech'tluth and warnog, and most captains he knew of had tried blood wine at least once. Klingon alcoholic beverages were significantly more potent than most other beverages Zack knew of, another testament to the toughness of that race. "That's certainly an uncommon profession. I look forward to sampling some of your concoctions soon. And whatever you need as far as supply requisitions to keep that up let me know, and you shall have it. I need the officers that serve under me to feel at home on my ship"
"You wish me to brew alcohol aboard your ship Captain? Is there anything in particular you wish me to brew?" tamyoH asked still slightly shocked that a Starfleet Captain was not only giving her permission to brew alcohol aboard his vessel but had told her to order what ever she needed to do so.
"I don't have a particular request," said Zack, making a sort of dismissive wave with his right hand. "But I do believe that keeping my officers and crew happy is an integral part of a smooth-running ship. So as long as any activities do not conflict with Starfleet regulations, I'm okay with them. Plus...I also personally believe that the Officer Exchange Program is an integral part of the Federation's continuing good relations with the Empire and the KDF. Bottom line, if you're happy and doing so within regs, then I'm happy."
tamyoH nodded "Understood Captain, if there is nothing else right now I will go and get ready for the party." she said as she stood, seeing his nod she turned and left his office.
