The Valkyrie had been doing dull duty for several months, far away from any kind of action or excitement. Suddenly, new orders came from Starfleet Command. They were to proceed to Qo'nos, the Klingon homeworld. There, they would pick up and transport the new Governor of Krios, as a show of solidarity between the Empire and the Federation. They would also receive an upgrade to their transwarp drive, courtesy of the upgrade's designer, Dr. Athar Roque.
Many of the crew amused themselves during the dull times with holodeck simulations. One of the most popular among the senior staff was a World War 2-era aerial combat program, put together by CONN officer Emile Schofield.
When the ship arrived at Qo'nos, FO PaRel made a trip to the surface to see if his Klingon family would accept him back, or if he had been permanently dishonored by being kicked out of Starfleet. He discovered that his case had come to the attention of his grandfather's superiors, and he would have to prove that he was a man of honor in personal combat. The warrior chosen to fight him was the father of a man he had killed. He lost the fight, but because he didn't use Vulcan techniques to gain an advantage, proved he had honor.
