CHAPTER FIVE 

“Will the Klingers ever rule the Universe? Well we've got thousands like
Dennis and thousands like Otto. So what do you think?” 

GENERAL DRAYGO 

PART ONE 

Ricky was waiting for the Captain when he materialized back on the
bridge. “Boy have I got some news for you,” he drawled as big brother 
stepped off the Transporter Platform. 

“And boy have I got some news for you!” big brother shot back angrily.
“You stole my Pendant!” 

Ricky grinned at him. “Traded it,” he drawled casually. 

“Traded it!” stormed the Captain. “My Pendant!? You know it's got
something to do with the Evil, I mean you know I'm very fond of it. And 
you traded it! What for?” 

“Some exceptionally fine cigarettes,” Ricky replied. “Reality altering
cigarettes. Want to try one?” 

“No I don't,” snapped the Captain. “Who did you trade with?” 

“Klingers.” 

The Captain's eyes widened. “Klingers! Arch-enemies of the Federation
and you're trading with them?” 

Ricky shrugged. “What the hell,” he drawled. 

“Talking about Klingers,” Butch Bradley said as he wandered over, “we
took a couple of them prisoner when you were down on Dulcodaz. They 
beamed aboard after you left. Seems they were sent to kill you. I've 
got them ready for torturing.” 

The Captain raised his eyes wearily to the ceiling. “Where are they?” 

“Well I wanted to weld them to a metal post in the Repair Bay but that
softy Doctor Malloy insisted they go to the brig.” 

“Hmm. Let's go and see them. Perhaps they might know something about the
Pendant.” 

“Where's Queer Ears?” Butch asked. 

“He's still on--” began the Captain. “Mr Sprock is a prisoner on
Dulcodaz. He's being held by an enemy of the Federation called Kharg. I 
have to get that damn Pendant back before he'll free him. Right, let's 
go and see the prisoners and you,” he ordered, pointing at Ricky, “come 
with us.” 

PART TWO 

“So remember,” Dennis said to Otto as they languished in the brig, “we
are Klingers. Fierce, proud warriors. The most feared in the Universe. 
So even if they torture us we say nothing. Nothing. Got it?” 

Otto glanced at Dennis with his big sad eyes and nodded miserably. He
clutched his bucket and spade closer for comfort. “No talk,” he agreed. 


“Even if they pull our toenails off we say nothing,” continued Dennis.
Otto winced and curled up his toes inside his boots. 

“We don't give anything away,” Dennis went on. “Zero. The pride of the
Klinger warrior race is at stake. Listen! Here they come. Remember – 
not a word.” 

A few moments later the brig door was unlocked. It swished open and the
Captain and the others walked in.
