AER: IKV ta’ veng – Starbase Indy

Begin transmission: on November 27 the IKV ta ‘veng sent an away team to Starbase Indy located in Indianapolis in the state of Indiana. Three crew members began their journey that evening braving the cold and dark. Our other crew member arrived the next day.

Friday the 28th began early as we went foraging for food and then began the process of donning our gear. There were many panels to go to including one on Klingon sexuality and makeup demos. We met up with our other crew member and friends that evening to attend the opening ceremonies. The next day began even earlier in an attempt to be ready and not miss any of the action. On Saturday K’Temok bravely entered the costume contest and performed well during the masquerade. That night the Klingon warriors and Xeno Legion members of KAG came together to feast. However, the restaurant was not well equipped to handle so many aliens at once, and some of us broke off in search of a less crowded eating place. This was not all bad as it gave us the chance to make some new friends.

After two busy days with early mornings, late nights, and lots to do in between, myself, T’Starla and K’Temok wore our TAS Klingon uniforms. We were able to have pictures taken on the bridge set up Starbase Indy provided that afternoon. Sadly, the end of the con came much too fast. It was a glorious time filled with revelry, costuming and the company of friends both old and new.

Crew members who attended:

K’Temok, Alin Prinna, T’Starla, Christina Black
