Klingons and BabelCon '07

On August 4, 2007, BabelCon '07 was held in Port Allen. I met four of my crewmates from the IKV Bayou Serpent: Commander Ri'par sutai-bortaS, Lieutenant Commander K'Allen vestai-bortaS, Lieutenant Ni'Vek and Lieutenant Torsha vestai-bortaS. We got into uniform, except for Torsha, who is expecting a new Klingon warrior in October. It was our privilege to meet Gowron at the airport. He knew nothing of this, and the look on his face when he rounded the corner to see four Klingons in full uniform was priceless. He was touched by this greeting. The next day at Babel Con, we mingled with the humans and got to meet Bob May, the original robot for Lost in Space, Lee Meriwether, Losira from TOS as well as Barnaby Jones' assistant, and Robert O'Reilly, of course. All were most gracious in giving autographs and taking pictures. They all gave presentations which were very interesting. Gowron told amusing stories of PIcard holding heavy cloaks for many takes, Gowron's Klingon teeth coming flying out and stories of his children. I was most honored to be included in this ship's mission, as well as to be privileged to meet these fine people. I bade farewell to my most honorable crew and wished them well until next time, which I home is soon.
