jIHagh... maj.
As it happens, I got the letter congratulating me on winning, etc over the
weekend, and phoned the number yesterday, to tell them what a prize THEY
had won in me. I knew it was a waste of breath, that even if there were a
right person to do something about my Klingon knowledge, it wasn't them.
But it was the only number I had. They said a speaking role was pretty
much out of the question (though I could always go and get an agent and do
things the normal way), and besides, they only did promotion, not the
actual doing. Which I pretty much figured. But I had to tell SOMEone.
Oh well. Maybe if there are Klingons, Marc Okrand will be involved, and he
can push a little. But I'm not counting on it.
BTW, the CD-ROM's title is Star Trek: Borg. Only the Celestial Exchequer
knows what sort of alien I'll be playing (or even what sort of aliens will
be used).
