Yeah, the sentence he used is clearly in error. Voragh just reports 
what he sees.

I would have used rInchoHDI' SarI', because to me the task is 
finished not the person, and I want to be sure I convey the "as soon 
as it's finished" idea.

DupongmeH, pong 'up lo' 'e' Hech. vaj SapongDI' ghaytan bIQeHchoH 'ej 
ghaHvaD vay' 'ugh DajaD. jIHwIj qIpchugh rIn jIHwIj.
