In the "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" episode "Under the Cloak of War", a Klingon ambassador named Dak'Rah (Robert Wisdom) comes to visit the U.S.S. Enterprise on a diplomatic mission. "Strange New Worlds" takes place immediately after the Klingon War, and several of the ship's crew remember the conflict vividly, expressing prejudice and consternation to see a Klingon on board. Captain Pike (Anson Mount) reminds his officers to keep an open mind, but Dr. M'Benga (Babs Olusanmokun) cannot.
Through flashbacks, audiences learn the horrible wartime conditions that both Dr. M'Benga and Nurse Chapel (Jess Bush) served under, and they were bleak. There weren't enough medical supplies to go around, and Dr. M'Benga had taken to storing injured soldiers inside a transporter pattern buffer, hoping to rematerialize them when more could be done.

The latest episode of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," called "Under the Cloak of War," is all about unresolved trauma, violence, and wrath. In the episode, Dr. M'Benga (Babs Olusanmokun) and Nurse Chapel (Jess Bush) recall the all-too-recent Klingon War and the horrible things they had to do during it. The two were both stationed at a remote outpost that was under constant bombardment. They regularly received injured soldiers to treat, but had no resources to treat them. Dr. M'Benga had taken to storing injured people inside a transporter buffer for extended periods, hoping to beam them out and treat them when the situation wasn't so dire. Before long, both he and Chapel realize that's not entirely practical.
The flashbacks are paired with a story of a visiting Klingon defector named Dak'Rah (Robert Wisdom). It seems that Dak'Rah led a brutal campaign at the very site where M'Benga and Chapel were stationed,...

Most may think my creative output over the last few years has been little more than bitching about that company that must not be named. Not true. Not true at all.
I have been busy creating some of the best work of my career…only to have them stolen.
Stolen I say! Taken from me by those who have duped you all into thinking it was they who created such masterworks.
My first creation, the Overstreet Guide to Cosplay says on the cover it was written by Melissa Bowersox, Eddie Newsome and Carrie Wood.
Ha! I say ha! I’ve been cosplaying since I was a young boy growing up in the south back in the 1930s. I remember when I came up with the idea to cosplay; I was around oh I don’t know some age when I said out loud; “I have invented cosplay.”
