Mess Hall Recreation Area

[Kalore]

" I did enjoy the hunt." He drained his mug of warnog setting it down with a slap he chuckled as he listened to the concertina and, singing.

[Arishela]

"Hija, so did I."

She played the concertina and considered the friendship they held and she was glad for it. It was a maj thing to have a friend on the same ship. But, it was also a time to make new friends and comrades.

[Kalore]

Refilled his mug of the warnog looked at those at the table his eyes stopped at Kaylara not knowing her name of course. Raising his drink he then looked around the hall, spoke loudly with pride "To new Comrades, to the coming battles, Warriors to be noticed!" he downed his drink in one swallow

[Arishela]

After singing the song she got a plate of pipus claws and started to eat them. Smiling while she chewed and drank her warnog she kept the rhythm of the sing by tapping her foot. Her greatest love since childhood was music. And as a warrior it work well to soothe her after battle.

[Lt Kor Divok]

With the song seemingly over, he glanced around at those assembled in the hall. If the beq can do battle as well as they can sing then they will win a great many battles and bring glory and honor to the empire and the HoD. He gave a nod of satisfaction and glanced at the Qel for a moment before turning to get some heart of targ, octopus, Bregit lung and refilled his mug with warnog to wash it down

[hodmolar]

His meal finished he stood finishing the last of his blood wine.Turning he walked for the exit looking at all the beq that was still there.He had more work to do but let the others have fun a bit longer soon they would be hard at work as well.

[Kaylara]

The singing seaming to die down she returned to her meal and sitting in the chair at the table. The messhall being too quite for her liking she went back to her quaraters after finishing her meal.

[Arishela]

She looked up as the be' (female)left the room. She was still playing the concertina and put it down. Then picking up her drink she joined in the toast, "To new Comrades, to the coming battles, Warriors to be noticed!" She drink have the mug and then wiped her chin with her sleeve.

[Lt Kor Divok]

He glanced up from his meal as the HoD stood to leave the mess hall. Another glance fell on the female that left the hall behind the HoD

Disregarding both of them, he went back to his meal, hearing the other be' speak up, apparently to a toast. He merely grunted a response as he continued eating

[Arishela]

"I wonder how long it will be before we leave. Not even a day and I grow restless."

[Kalore]

Agree I was hoping we would already be on our way as well for I thirst for battle.

[Kalore]

Inhaled deeply then gave a soft growland smiled as he reached infront of Arishela grabbed a pipus Claw then sat back in his seat broke the claw as he took a bite.

[Lt Kor Divok]

Finishing his meal, he would dispose of his dishes in the proper klingon manner then stand and head for the door. As he passed the table where Kalore, Arishela and the other male LoD ( male ), Kh'Par, sat, he heard a low growl coming from one of them.

He turned a side glance toward the growler, only to see he was groling at the female. He grunted to himself and continued out of the mess hall

He would start to head for his quarters before he would hear the announcement that all beq were to report to the bridge. Changing his direction, he would head there now

Miscellanous Infromation on Klingon diets and habits.


The digestive tract of Klingons differ from Humans in several ways. The first is the jaw pressure used in a bite this exceeds humans. Various sources list this at between 10 - 25 pounds of pressure. For the purposes of this sim its important to note that they have a greater bite per pound or pressure which will help in understanding some of the foods that will be listed which they enjoy.

There teeth are pointed and some are jaggered in appearance. This was required to priece the skin of many fruits, vegetables and other food stuffs. Which if you recall from an earlier posting most were covered by many deterrents to being eaten.

Since the food on their home world had evolved into having extensive and elaborate defenses. Which caused stomach to contains various acids which are stronger then found in humans.

The stomach and intestines are heavily lined with thick muscles to aid in the movement of the food thought out the digestive tract. This has a negative result, which is a less efficient system for the absorption of nutrients.

To counter this Klingons ate live foods, as time progressed they added raw food. From there they added a few cooked foods, but most of these are prepared so the meat is mostly raw. Or just marinated in various spices.

I will list many of the foods Klingons enjoy to help with your enjoyment of the sim, development of the sim, knowledge of the species.

Please note: No one is required to use the Klingon names of the foods listed
