I forgot about this I'll hve to go back and look it up.

an evil look.

Sorry about the spelling mistake it was meant to be *encrypted*.
Would it be possible to substitute *against* for *directed at* or *projected
at*, thus making it *Rage directed at (projected towards) the machine* or
{mIqta' Hotlh yIQeH'a'} or {mIqta' Hotlh peQeH'a'}
