I have two possible references to gravity from ST6, both being lines uttered
in the background during the attack on Kronos One:
- tlham <chIllu'> (?)
We've lost gravity! ST6
- tlham chach chu'qa'
Restoring auxiliary gravity. ST6 (Clipped)
Until we know how to properly discuss gravity in Klingon, though, I suggest
{puj} "be weak" and {HoS} "be strong": {pujlaw' tera' tlham}. For narrative
purposes it certainly fits in with the general Klingon opinion of Earthers
as weaklings, both physically and spiritually.
