<p>At the end of the last &#39;ay&#39;, the Klingons have just left the Enterprise after a disastrous state dinner.</p>
<p>[qIrq pa&#39;]</p>
<p>KIRK: HoD QonoS.  wa&#39;Hu&#39; ram &#39;entepray&#39;Daq mebpu&#39; chaH ghorqon Qang&#39;e&#39; ghomDaj&#39;e&#39; je.  loQ *Emily Post* wIDabe&#39;.  vutpa&#39;vaD: pIq poH not gharmeH qepDaq romuluS HIq yIjab...<br>

SPOCK (QumwI&#39; ghogh): qIrq HoD.  meHDaq HIghom.  qIrq HoD.</p>
<p>[meHDaw paw qIrq]<br>
SPOCK: ah, HoD.<br>
KIRK: nuqneH?<br>
SPOCK: pIH &#39;e&#39; vItu&#39;.<br>
KIRK: *Spock*, jIDoy&#39;qu&#39;.<br>
SPOCK: *neutron* woj[1] tlhuDqu&#39;lu&#39; &#39;e&#39; wItu&#39;.<br>
KIRK: nuqvo&#39;?<br>
SPOCK: Hujqu&#39;, wItlhuDlaw&#39;mo&#39;.<br>
KIRK: &#39;entepray&#39;?<br>
KIRK: *Valeris*, woj yu&#39;egh&#39;a&#39; De&#39; DaSov&#39;a&#39;?<br>
VALERIS: qaH?<br>
KIRK: *Chekov*?<br>
CHEKOV: woj?  {wuQ} vISov neH.<br>
KIRK: vISovqu&#39; je.  <br>
(tlhIngan may&#39;Duj qIp &#39;otlh peng)<br>
KIRK: qaSpu&#39; nuq?<br>
SPOCK: Qang DujDaq wIbaH.[2]<br>

(cha&#39;logh tlhIngan may&#39;Duj qIp &#39;otlh peng &#39;ej tlham chu&#39;Ha&#39;lu&#39;)</p>
<p>[1] - Alas, no word for &quot;neutron&quot;; it&#39;s technobabble, but a vital clue as any Trekkie knows that it signifies a cloaked ship.<br>
[2] - Someone remind me, is this how {-Daq} works with {baH}?  Or does {X-Daq baH} mean &quot;fire while located on X&quot;?</p>
<p>&gt; [Kirk&#39;s quarters]<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Captain&#39;s log. The Enterprise hosted Chancellor Gorkon and company to<br>
&gt; dinner last night. Our manners weren&#39;t exactly Emily Post. Note to the<br>
&gt; galley. Romulan ale no longer to be served at diplomatic functions.<br>
&gt; SPOCK (on intercom): Captain Kirk. Will you please join me on the<br>
&gt; bridge? Captain Kirk?<br>
&gt; [Enterprise-A bridge]<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; SPOCK: Ah, Captain.<br>
&gt; KIRK: What is it?<br>
&gt; SPOCK: I find this curious.<br>
&gt; KIRK: Spock, I&#39;m really tired.<br>
&gt; SPOCK: We are reading an enormous amount of neutron radiation.<br>
&gt; KIRK: Where?<br>
&gt; SPOCK: Strangely enough it appears to be emanating from us.<br>
&gt; KIRK: The Enterprise?<br>
&gt; KIRK: Valeris, do you know anything about a radiation surge?<br>
&gt; VALERIS: Sir?<br>
&gt; KIRK: Chekov?<br>
&gt; CHEKOV: Only the size of my head!<br>
&gt; KIRK: I know what you mean. (on the viewscreen a photon torpedo hits<br>
&gt; the Klingon battle cruiser)<br>
&gt; KIRK: What&#39;s happened?<br>
&gt; SPOCK: We have fired on the Chancellor&#39;s ship.<br>
&gt; CHEKOV: Torpedo room! Please confirm. Have we fired?<br>
&gt; KIRK: Uhura, monitor!<br>
&gt; UHURA (OC): Aye sir.<br>
&gt; VALERIS: Direct hit!<br>
&gt; UHURA: Confirmed, sir.<br>
&gt; (a second photon torpedo shoots out and the Klingon ship loses gravity)</p>
