The Redshirt Shen

Blowing the dust off of my old STO characters, many of whom jumped the fence, filed off their serial numbers, and became characters in my Tales From the Long Night universe.  This one’s the in game bio of one Shaikatra, a particularly maladjusted TOS era Andorian tactical who swore never to return to Andoria until the Imperial Guard was reinstated.  She’ll be a lead character in a fan-fic novel once I finish the current set of novels… An armchair historian who’s developed a love of Kipling, who “gets” troopers.
I’ve walked with zhen an’ thaan, laws what do they understand?
 a neater, sweeter maiden in a cleaner, greener land
On a course out Risa way
Where the flyin’ fishies play.
Ship me somewhere east to Risa where the best is like the worst
An’ there ain’t no reg-oolashuns an’ a shen can raise a thirst
For the Horga’hn party’s rollin’ an’ that’s where I’d like to be
At the Tamtibi Lagoon lookin’ lazy at the sea
On a course out Risa way
Where the flyin’ fishies play
An’ the moons come up like thunder out’er catona ‘cross the bay!
