RE: name KLBC
The only reason I needed this is for when a member of the local Klingon
club ask me my name at my Starfleet ship's mini conn this August.
In my case ,it's not just *klingons call me* (maybe I'm misunderstanding)
but in my persona Maud and malqa are the same person .
Named malqa by klin father /human mother, was given Terran name when had
to relocate to Earth with mother. This way in my persona I am able to
answer to both malqa and Maud by my shipmates . I try to use malqa as a
way of paying respect to my klin background /family memberss who died.
My backstory is not fully complete though but I need a name .
LT MaudF./LT malqa matoq tuq
Chief of Security /Chief of Cadet Corps/Ship's Photographer
USS Triumph NCC-26228 / Starfleet
