[Tlhingan-hol] nuq bop bom: 'ay' wa'vatlh chorghmaH wa': narghbe'chugh SuvwI' qa' taH may'
Gore alert! This 'ay' contains carefully researched gruesome
violence, copious amounts of blood, and death. Also large blocks of
text, because there's almost no dialogue.
Also the footnotes are spoilers--don't read them first. Unless you
want spoilers.

vajar and crew are witnessing a betleH duel between Commander
be'tlhar and her superior, the chief of security on veS.

SKI: The duel ends either gruesomely or gloriously, depending on your
cultural alignment.
----
[150] First writethrough of this scene had the Klingons continuing
into the next scene without watching the gruesome, predictable and
already explained conclusion of the battle, but if we're going to
accept a culture that glorifies death by violence, then damnit they
had better have an appreciation for the final convulsions of a
warrior with a spike in her medulla oblongata, half lying on a man
who is bleeding out from the femoral artery.
[151] Never sleep with a Star Trek captain. Romantic involvement with
the commander always spells death. Was 'eSSIm loyal to Mahoun or did
she just know that basic safety precaution. But wait, Mahoun is also
a ship's captain. Uh-oh.

That's the end of 'ay''a' Hut! On to wa'maH! Probably tomorrow.
Weather has been unsuitable the last few days and I've finally solved
a problem where I had them all stuck in engineering. Took me
weeks. Don't worry, no technobabble. I moved the scene elsewhere and
presto, it worked.
