Akula: "Indecisiveness"
 by Ensign T'Kang


T'Kang growled in a low rumble as he waited at the helm of the 
Akula.   The last of the shuttles had docked with the starship; not an 
easy thing to do while a vessel is cloaked mind you.   The Klingon 
peered out the forward view screen at the belly of the Cardassian 
light cruiser.  Lieutenant Za had brought the ship underneath the 
unsuspecting warship and to within optimal weapons range, but the 
Andorian seemed to have lost the way of the warrior over the last 
several minutes.   T'Kang could only watch the gentle swaying of the 
Cardassian ship while the bridge crew waited for the Captain to 
arrive on the bridge.   Za was not willing to commit to giving the 
Cardassians what they deserved.   "Hegh tlhIH targh."  T'Kang 
thought.

Over his shoulder T'Kang heard the Bajoran weapons officer, 
Lieutenant jg Enya, make his way to his station at the rear of the 
bridge.   The Bajoran glanced at Lieutenant Za and at T'Kang.  The 
Klingon just curled his upper lip slightly, exposing a little more of his 
jagged teeth.  Enya didn't seem to mind, simply taking his station 
and bringing weapons on-line.  T'Kang didn't know very much about 
Enya, other than he seemed to think that Doctor Nelsy was a 
Cardassian spy, if for no other reason, she was a Cardassian.    
T'Kang didn't seem to mind much.  He was pretty much convinced 
everyone on the ship was out to get someone or another.

Caught up in his thoughts of Enya, T'Kang was surprised when the 
Andorian Lieutenant called out, "Oh no.....Shuttle leaving the cruiser, 
heading for the surface!!!"

"They would not be sending a ship to surface had we acted when we 
had the chance."  T'Kang snided, "tlhIH tlhIb targh!"  he added, 
cursing in Klingon.

Za's eyes narrowed at T'Kang's foul mouth and insubordinate tone, 
but no one on the bridge was surprised.

"We must attack now!"  T'Kang blurted out,  "To wait any longer 
would be both foolish and cowardly..." the Klingon's eyes narrowed.

Lieutenant Za glanced over to Enya at the weapons console.  He 
appeared ready to go, and he knew the Klingon was.

"They are getting out of range!"  T'Kang barked.  "There is no time to 
delay any longer..."

Za look perplexed.  Everyone on the bridge was waiting for the 
Lieutenant's next command.
