The Haunting of the Enterprise, 2
Mike W. Barr writer.
Enterprise going to planet Thallus, just outside Klingon space. Were diverted to prison satellite. A Klingon trap, an old fashioned haunted house.
Kirk – Now we face the equally deadly, if more familiar, Klingons. 
Klingons shoot ensign.
Klingon – That shot was only a warning. You will surrender your ship immediately or you will all die horribly! We have no scruples about killing you. Our records show that the Enterprise invaded our space, any action we take against you is justified.
The Klingons have some kind of energy field around the haunted house, jamming transporters. They’ll have to lift the field to transport themselves.
Klingon – Get the Vulcan, he’s the one we want! This chair should crack even his thick skull. Return to your ship, Kirk! Death will find you there!
Kirk – I promise we’ll return to the Fed with Spock and a lot of Klingon hides!
Klingon Captain – Your stun blast has already worn off. It is weak, as are you Fed lackeys! My orders were to acquire the Enterprise so that the Klingon High council can examine its new warp engines! Its crew considered expendable, except for Spock and his knowledge of the ship. However, we have found a use for the crew. 
In bowels of Klingon ship prisoner rests after doing as Klingons commanded, they have stopped the pain for a while, rests in drugged stupor. 
The Klingons are firing phasers, concentrating fire on warp drive engines.
The Klingons have developed an image projection technology far beyond any the Fed possesses. They disable warp drive, then cease firing, plan to keep Enterprise here. 
Klingon – Your Fed is lost, it will crumble to dust before our all-powerful new weapon! The thought-enhancer. Weeks ago, a damaged starship drifted into our space, we probed the prisoners for information and discarded them all, except one. He was a horror film archivist and his specialized knowledge proved useful. We offered him the honor of serving the Klingon Empire, as a living weapon. At first we needed his conscious cooperation, to fuse his memory patterns to the machine, we allowed him to create his heart’s desire, his dead wife. Then we took control of his mind, we keep him drugged until we need his memories of the ancient monsters. Then we persuade him to produce them, the thought enhancer gives his memories substance, and produces monsters that are very real and very deadly. Creates them from the plentiful free hydrogen atoms pervading space. So realistic even tricorders are confused. Klingons created haunted house by restructuring the surface of a space station. Rather a trivial use of sophisticated technology. The enterprise will be ours without loss of a single Klingon life. Eventually we will be able to project those horrors wherever we have a receptor. The prisoner Raytag on enterprise is a receptor, with skull implant. The Klingons offer Raytag his freedom. 
Klingon Captain – Once we reach homeworld, I suggest you disclose the Enterprise’s new specifications voluntarily. Klingon mind-sifting can be most unpleasant.
Klingon – All earthmen look alike to me.
For hours now the earthman’s mind has been driven by the thought-enhancer to create ever bigger, uglier, more ferocious monsters. The Klingons had counted on this, but never dreamt they themselves might fall victim to the monsters savagery. 
Raytag, dead on Enterprise, reflects signal back to Klingon cruiser. 
Spock outs Klingon with nerve pinch.
Klingons killed film archivist’s wife. Spock takes thought-enhancer device.
Spock – If I recall the schematics of Klingon vessels, we should be approaching the transporter room.
The Klingon ship’s shields are down and there appears to be some disturbance aboard.
The film archivist, the Klingon thought-enhancer, and Raytag’s body have all been delivered to Starbase 16.

Mike W. Barr
SD 7420.1
Yannid VI about to sign treaty after years of negotiations, join Federation. A prosperous planet.
Ambassador Phral killed, his death has enraged the rebels among the populace who wish Yannid VI to join the Klingon Empire. great beer. Population have tails/long swords.
At least with Klingons you know where you stand. Not backstabbers.
Ensign Kirk visited Yannid VI on Republic. Rebel forces backed by the Klingon Empire were staging an open assault on the royal palace. They wanted the head of King Geror. The rebels murdered King Geror, took his son, Prince Arlph hostage. A stary shot from Kirk, rescuing the Prince, also put him in a coma, Arlph’s younger brother became king, swore never to join the Federation. Prince Storf and his sister Princess Minax reopened negotiations with Fed.

Klingons have a stasis field to catch starships in, more sophisticated than simply disabling the matter/antimatter generators.

All the Infinite Ways. 
Martin Pasko writer.
Neutral Resort planet Hephaestus, in the Kyros system. Klingon battle cruiser in orbit. Under the terms of the Organian Peace Treaty the Klingons have just as much right to be here as we do.
Kirk – The Klingons are here, I wouldn’t count on relaxing, Bones. I find the Hephaestans a friendly, intelligent, but naïve people, which makes them ripe for Klingon conquest. I hope to prevent that contingency.
p3 Kagg, Commander of the Imperial battle cruiser Kluggoth. Black body suit, white armor, sash over right shoulder.
Kirk – I suppose you claim this planet in the name of the Klingon Empire?
Kagg – Of course not. There is no need to provoke a dispute, Kirk. The Organian treaty forces us to recognize the Hephaestans’ neutrality. We would merely convince them of the wisdom in becoming a Klingon protectorate, for we can defend them against those who would plunder the minerals you find so valuable.
Kirk – Who’s going to defend them against the Klingon Empire?
Chekov – Look, a Klingon attacking a native! Dirty Cossacks, dey make trouble vhereever dey go!
Klingon – Tell me the location of the manufacturing center, simian cretin, or my hands about your throat will be the last thing you ever feel!
Chekov – Leave him be, Klingon svine! Dat creature is a Hephaestan citizen, Klingon, an intelligent biped! He as rights, not dat a Klingon vould care about such t’ings. 
Klingon – you know nothing of these natives, they are not the enfranchised race you think they are! And we will have what we want of them without Terran meddling.
Chekov and Klingon battle it out.
Kirk – It’s probably just a little argument that got out of hand, you know how Klingons are.
The Klingon who attacked Hephaestan, and Chekov, have been taken into custody by local peace-officers. Hephaestan’s neck broken.
Klingons already know Hephaestan’s intelligence implant, want to know the location of the manufacturing center. 
Another Hephaestan killed, in the garden, and subcutaneous symbiont removed by some crude shape instrument, probably by a Klingon so they could have one to study. 
The Klingons’ plan is becoming quite clear. They will find the manufacturing center and destroy it. Then remove the symbionts from the Hephaestans, reduce the population to sub-intelligent animals, then they’ll be free to claim the planet. A most clever way of circumventing the Organian Peace Treaty. 
The Kluggoth arrived here well before the Enterprise.
Kagg – Treaties are made to be broken.
The Kluggoth has Enterprise in her stasis-field weapon. All higher order field and warp functions are disabled, including ship’s weaponry, losing power in warp engines, transporter, impulse engines, antimatter generators disabled.
Kagg – You would shoot a Klingon, Hephaestan dolt? Phat! Your weapon hand is as slow as your wits. But I can deal death more swiftly! 
Red ztt! disruptor bolts.
Hephaestan Dr. Sikarr stabs Klingon with surgical scalpal, kills him.
The Klingons have already planted an explosive capsule in the manufacturing center, timed to detonate in two of your hours. Destroy symbionts stored there, and  computers which contain directions for the implantation procedure.
Kagg – You have killed one of my men, and for that you must pay dearly.
The deadly beam sizzles over their heads and stabs into the wall behind them.
Kagg takes Joanna McCoy hostage in fire fight.
Kagg – Now we are spared the temptation to further endanger the fragile truce between your people and mine, by killing one another.
Klingons as a species are characterized by uniquely hostile, intensely irrational thought-patterns, as recognizable as their physical appearance. Trace telepathic impression of thought-patterns to hidden location. 
The explosive is equipped with a dampening field, it will not register on a tricorder. 
Kagg – I give my life gladly to be rid of your interference, when we are gone my men will be freed to proceed according to plan!
Vulcan Suvak jumps Kagg and frees fiancée Joanna McCoy.
The energy required to hold the stasis field on the Enterprise has drained Kluggoth’s reserves. The second-in-command has been signaling Kagg for instructions, but Kagg hasn’t responded, so they decided to back off!
Kagg killed in kabwoom explosion.
Freed from their loyalty to an evidently insane commander, the Klingons have retreated. They have withdrawn their claim to Hephaestus and negotiations are under way for reparations.
