Well, actually that would not make much sense. "Are you happy?
You possess." Or maybe it is addressing someone named
{Quch'a'}: "Great Forehead, you have."
{bI-} indicates no direct object. Nice try, though...

Yep. YACH: Yet Another Confused Half-ling. Everybody in the
Star Trek universe wants to be more human. The Androids want to
be more human. B'lanna wants to be more human.
Spock had it right. Seven understood, but she is starting to
