charghwI' once posted a brief note about this scene to the list:
"There is, I believe, one woman's voice speaking Klingon in the
untranslated beginning to CK (which is subsequently translated on a tag
bundled with the Klingon "holodome" -- one of those glass balls full of
water and glitter that you shake, only instead of a snowscape, you get a
lit Bird of Prey and a sound chip with the same dialog and different
background music). Marc still says about half the lines, but there are
other actors mixed in as well."
