This is slightly longer than usual installment, but if you've read this
far you can handle an extra fifty words. It also includes violence, blood
and possibly challenging ethics.<br><br>
vajar flew into a rage and locked the doors either side of the crew after
overhearing what sounded like plans to mutiny.<br><br>

SKI: vajar does as his first officer suggested.<br>

[43] I don't know how a single stab wound works versus with the much
touted bIraqlul, so this is my version. <br>
[44] Hmm. I started with &lt;mevDI 'ungya bey, lutu'be'&gt;, but then I
asked myself What is the object of tu'? Do I mean tu'be'? So then I
changed it.<br>
[45] If you're not up on your Klingon culture-- I haven't watched the
referenced episode myself-- you may need to note that I'm drawing on
descriptions of the ritualized form of suicide that is acceptable in
Klingon culture. Offing yourself with a disruptor is dishnourable. So is
screaming in pain lying on the floor begging for the ritual and probably
screaming during the ritual, but I rather suspect that screaming of ones
companions to warn the Black Fleet of the coming of another warrior arose
out of an attempt to protect the honour of the dying. Actual assisted
suicide by stabbing is rarely going to match the idealistic ritual.

[46] I had a point here regarding the xiphoid process but then I realized
that I was probably wrong, and that I just wanted to say ?xiphoid
process? so I cut it down to this: xiphoid process. </body>
