Mission: M13-B: The Big Goodbye
Location: USS Achilles

Knowing that the Achilles had docked at DS9, Karrak wasted no time in coming aboard. He was getting bored at the station and was itching for action. After getting permission to come aboard, he made his way to his quarters and unpacked. Setting up the holoposter of his hero, the Terran warrior J'onn Wayne, as he called him, hanging up his Colt .45's, and other things, he made sure everything was in its place. It would be a while before duty, so he would familiarize himself with the ship.

Being a security officer, it was important that he knew the ins and outs of the Achilles, and made his way through the decks. Parts of it were too cold, but he had toughened himself to endure it. He would prove to be an exemplary Gorn warrior. He would make his homeworld proud, the example of the Tra'nark zo-Lazath.

He marched through the sections, making himself familiar with them, then went back to his quarters. He got his cowboy hat and his Colt .45's, strapped them on, then headed for the holodeck. "Karrak program two." he said.

"you may enter when ready." said the computer.

He entered, and his horse was waiting for him. He mounted and headed off. It was a dusty road he had chosen, the road to Dodge City. He had business there, helping the Marshall.

The Marshall was not at his office, so he headed for the saloon. He found him there.

"I thought you would come, you're a little late."

Karrak grinned. "I had business elsewhere, Marshall, but I am here."

"It's quiet right now, nothing to do, but in this town, it can warm up in a hurry."
