[USS Quantum Fury, Holodeck]
Khiy spun on his heels and leapt over the attacking Klingon. A glinting bat'leth swept upwards at him but his momentum carried him far enough to dodge the tip of the blade by a mere centimeter. Several drops of the Klingon's sweat rain down onto him as the Klingon twisted around to compensate for the fast movements. His ugly features became hideous as he scowled at the diminutive Romulan "romuluSngan!" He shouted and leveled the bat'leth at Khiy. Crossing his daggers Khiy caught the Klingon's blade, its metallic fangs pushing towards his forehead. In a battle of strength Khiy knew he would lose, he did not have strength, but he did have speed, great speed. He uncrossed the daggers and dove left sliding across the gravel. The Klingon fell forward and Khiy pushed up behind him severing the spine where it met the skull. The massive Klingon hit the gravel limp and would soon be dead. Khiy panted and took a seat on the Klingon's back to catch his breath. The respite was short lived however; two more Klingons appeared and charged at him. Instinctively he flung the sharpened Kalen into the lead Klingon's eye socket with deadly accuracy. The Klingon bumbled forward onto his knees, his hands digging into the gravel as he did creating a small cloud of dust.
The other Klingon continued his charge. Standing up Khiy sprinted at the Klingon and as the massive warrior made aim for Khiy's head with his bat'leth the small Romulan suddenly crouched and slid between the Klingon's legs. In the time it took for the Klingon to register what had happened Khiy was kneeling over the dead Klingon wringing his other Kalen free from the eye socket. When the Klingon made his second charge Khiy pulled away from the dead Klingon, twisted around, and then tossed the freed Kalen into the Klingon's forehead. He quickly realized his mistake as the Klingon simply grabbed the dagger, pried it loose, and tossed it aside. "Damn." Khiy cursed and sidestepped the heavy downswing of the bat'leth. The massive blade sliced through rock and gravel but the Klingon's movements were too slow to hit Khiy who responded by kicking the Klingon in his right cheek. The only effect was a massive wall of slobber shaking loose. Khiy grimaced and ducked as the Klingon swung the bat'leth at him again. When the Klingon swung a third time Khiy slipped between his legs again but this time he used his lone Kalen to slice at the Klingon's ankles. The massive warrior twisted, snapped his remaining tendons, and fell hard.
The Klingon stirred but Khiy was on him like a hyena jabbing the Kalen into the Klingon's throat. He pressed it hard until the Klingon's muscles tensed one last time and went limp. He sighed and pulled the pink crusted dagger free. The sound of clapping broke his concentration and Khiy stood up looking towards the arch at the other end of the scenery. "Amazing sir." Onarin said with a PADD nestled under his right arm pit as he clapped. "But I think if Doctor McCoy hears about this she will kill you."
He resisted the urge to frown. Khiy didn't like having his training sessions watched- he enjoyed privacy. As his attention was on Onarin he failed to notice the Klingon coming up behind him until he felt a tingling sensation in his abdomen and looked down to find half a bat'leth wedged through.
"Player deceased. Simulation ended." The computer announced and the holodeck immediately returned to its grid pattern.
Khiy glanced at Onarin "thank you Commander." He said sarcastically and approached the arch "I hope the reason you are disrupting my training is good."
"It is." Onarin quirked a grin at his CO, knowing how much the Captain hated to be interrupted during training. He pulled the PADD out and held it up to Khiy "we've taken on all of the NeoDyne scientists as per the agreement with the Charon. They're currently being given a tour of their accommodations in the brig. Some were complaining earlier about treatment but apparently Captain Rehu decreed that any of the prisoners who did not find their treatment satisfactory would be handed over to the Romulans."
"One would think she would have learned the first time." Khiy commented and took the PADD perusing the information on it. He scrolled through the minor details- names, occupations, and small intelligence snippets from Starfleet. "I want to speak to the lead scientist myself." He finally said to Onarin when he finished going over the details.
Onarin who was playing with the arch's console looked up "I'll have Nik Nok arrange it sir- and…uh, you're on level twenty four? I've been doing this same program partnered with Nik Nok since we've been on board and we still haven't broken past level nine!"
It was a cold look that Onarin got from his Captain "I'm sure Nik Nok could do better- no doubt your presence has a hampering effect." Khiy dropped the PADD into Onarin's hand and made his way out of the holodeck.
The Cardassian chuckled in Khiy's wake "someone's grumpy" he whispered.

Khiy stepped into the interrogation room followed by his Chief of Security. The reptilian stood at the entrance as Khiy made his way to the empty seat across from the human male seated at the table. Taking his seat Khiy carefully set a PADD onto the metallic table "I hope you have treated well Doctor Bittenfield."
"Another Romulan?" Bittenfield snorted and looked away "I have nothing to say, zwergin."
Pushing the PADD forward Khiy's expression was cold and empty. When the doctor looked away from the PADD Khiy tilted his head "ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch." At that the doctor's brows perked slightly "I'm not here to take a statement from you, doctor. I merely wanted to inform you that I have sent that communiqué to Starfleet" he pointed at the PADD in front of the doctor "stating that you and your fellow scientists have admitted to committing genocide in the name of research for NeoDyne."
"What!" Bittenfield sat up. "You cannot say that! It is untrue, we have said nothing!"
"If it is a mistake it can be corrected later." Khiy stood up and nodded to Nik Nok who opened the door. He turned and looked at the Doctor "of course- if you are kind enough to give us a statement about NeoDyne's role, something can be arranged to ensure your safety." He let the doctor ponder the question and left.
