Recap: The first officer has gone to the bridge to deal with the helmsman's latest crisis while the captain remains with the unconscious security officer, just brought back from an unplanned spacewalk.

SKI: ghutar is half-frozen, but recovering, and there is blue ice and viscous blue fluid in his spacesuit.

[21] Yeah, I know. roS is lick. roSHa'moH is paralyze. Therefore we don't really know what roSHa' means. But if you successfully roSHa'moH someone how could they not then be roSHa'? Yeah, I know. I can't make assumptions about how tlhIngan Hol works. [23] You may have noticed that I've been adhering pretty stringently to the rule of no aspect suffixes after 'e', even though I think it's a silly rule, so this one suddenly struck me. Imagine if you were supposed to say <'e' tujmoHvIS>. The thought amuses me. [28] vaj ghunchu'wI', muD Duj chach Daqaw DaneHchugh, BA5390 DaqelnIS. Truth has the latitude of being more improbable than fiction. [29] There's some canon suggesting that the body part named item that doesn't belong to a body still takes the -Du' plural, but there is other canon to the contrary, and I find it useful to be able to say yebmey here to make it clear that yebDu''e' lupe'lu'be'bejpu'.
