::Rocar nodded in approval and turned to the other gold collared
Ensign at the table.::

Rocar: So if she's Ensign Sheppard then you must be Ensign Tanang… am
I correct?

Tanang: Aye, sir that you are.

::Tanang gave the Ktarian a good solid hand shake.::

Rocar: Rocar Drawoh… I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to catch you
both before now.

Tanang: It is understandable on a base like this.

Sheppard: response

:: Rocar laughed jovially and decided to tease the two Ensigns a
little.::

Rocar: No Klingons on the crew and then two come along at once!

Tanang: It is a vicious conspiracy ::Tanang smiled a distinctly
Klingon smile at this point.

Sheppard: response

Rocar: On a more serious note, I believe you'll both prove invaluable
to us given the Starbase's close proximity to Klingon Space.... we
often have encounters in that direction.

Tanang: Anything for the Empire...or the Federation. ::A booming peal
of laughter erupted from him now inresponse to Rocar's earlier one.::

Sheppard: response

::Rocar turned to the full-blooded Klingon with an inquisitive look::

Rocar: Have you met your department head, Commander Geeva ,yet Mister
Tanang?

Tanang: Yes, earlier today. Have an assignment in the morning.

::Rocar nodded with a chuckle and motioned towards the stage.::

Rocar: So will the pair of you be performing for us tonight?

Tanang: I have an act or two in mind, yes.

Sheppard: response

((a short while later))

::Tanang was again intrigued by the terran speaking such clear
Klingon. And took a note from his department head as he stood at his
seat and raised his glass again with the Klingon smile showing
proudly::

Tanang: Please all of you join if you will in a traditional Klingon
song. ::with that he took a loud drink from his mug and began in a
low resonate voice and got louder, and more jovial with each line::

Tanang: 'ej ngIb Saw', vI', Dech je 'Iw;

'ej Doq, SoDtaH, ghoStaH SIQal bIQtIq;

ngugh, jaj nIv law' Hoch nIv puS,

molor mIgh HoHchu'qu'DI' qeylIS

::Tanang took his time for one or two people who he thought it looked
like may be singing along, and raised his glass again to the crowd
before retaking his seat:
