Without listening to the words, and pulling theories out of my ridges, here
are some other thoughts....
Maybe the "t" and "'" were mispronounced/misheard in the first two
syllables, and it should have been "baHpa' Qo'noS wa'"/"before Kronos One
fired...." That could work for "without provocation" Or maybe that's the
"baHta'" and the "wa'noS" should be "Qo'noS" and the first part is the
firing of the Enterprise....
Just some random synapse-traffic. *I* wouldn't trust it.
