Excerpt

“What’s it like, being the first Klingon in Starfleet?” Major Kira asked from the pilot’s seat. Lieutenant Commander Worf sighed.

“That is the question that everyone asks,” he replied coldly.

“I understand,” Kira said. “Every Bajoran I meet asks me what it’s like to work with the Emissary.”

“Oh?” Worf was curious.

Kira shrugged. “I tell them, ‘it’s a living.’ ”

Worf made a sound that in a human would have been called a sigh.

“I was raised by human parents,” he told Kira, “so I grew up with Starfleet. Had my Klingon parents lived, I would no doubt be with my brothers now, helping to seize Cardassian Territory.”

“You don’t seem thrilled by that idea.”

Worf shrugged. “It is a living . . .”
