"Still waiting"

T'Kang shifted in his chair again.  Across the conference 
table sat Captain John Mec, the person the Federation had 
assigned as the Commanding Officer in charge of Alien 
space station D'Alaan 27.  Mec just sat there patiently 
waiting for his senior staff he'd ordered to this late night 
meeting to arrive.  Mec's orders stated they were to 
assemble in the conference room in ten minutes, and now, 
T'Kang had been sitting here five minutes *beyond* that.  
Not counting the time it took him to travel from level Red 9 to 
the conference room when he first received the orders.   The 
only three people in the conference room were the pouting 
Mec, Lieutenant Jane Stanton whom looked rather uneasy 
about the entire situation, and of course T'Kang, who still 
had his arms crossed in stubborn fashion.

Finally, after fifteen minutes of waiting in that silent 
conference room, T'Kang couldn't take it anymore.

"What is wrong with your men Captain?  You call a meeting 
and they treat you like some sort of qoH.  Is this all of your 
senior staff on the station?!  Are you just going to sit there all 
day and scratch your 'o' all evening?!"  the Klingon warrior 
asked in an angry, boisterous tone that make Lieutenant 
Stanton flinch at the broken silence.
