Who is playing mind games with whom? vajar with self?Â

Hey, at least it shows I'm just making normal language errors when I rearrange a Klingon sentence and it comes out stupid. I'm certain if you read the chapter you can figure out who is playing games with whom.

Ha a you've just made me imagine that there are a bunch of people following the super-condensed version of the story, consisting only of the chapter summaries. Just for that, I will now make the so-called summaries wander off the main story and tell an entirely different one. :-)

SKI: qImyal continues to inflict physical and emotional pain on vajar while insisting he provide information.

[276] There was a point at which I realized, "I made my main antagonist an expert torturer. She is convinced that my main protagonist has information she needs. Now I can't get out of this novel without a torture scene. I hate torture! I don't want to write torture!" But I did it anyway. I don't know about you, and I know vajar isn't, but I'm having almost as much fun as qImyal is here! Â
