Essim told Mahoun a story to illustrate the principles of her
research, which she says she already explained to Mahoun.

SKI: Essim & Mahoun spend some time getting to know each other as
people, but they still don't trust each other.

[37] I'm looking for the idea of passed on, or retransmitted. Do you get that?
[38] Ok this is a way more interesting question than the one about
whether I should use the word jatlh or ja' every time I use quotation
marks. I want to see how you react to this, then I will tell you what
I am thinking about it.
[39] Klingon is ALL over the Oxford comma. It should be called the
Klingon comma.
Here ends 'ay''a' loS. I have chapters in first draft up past 'ay'
wa'vatlh wa'maH, but depending on the weather (my job is
weather-dependent), I may pause for a day or so here in posting to
make sure everything in 'ay''a' vagh works correctly with 'ay''a'
Soch. I don't want to end up married to things that don't work with
the rest of the story, as I did with a number of crazy things I made
up in the first 'ay''a'. I'm really starting to sympathize with the
writers on Lost. It can be hard to keep track of all the threads in a
story like this. If there are plot threads or occurrences that strike
you as wrong or unfinished that you're hoping will be resolved,
explained or expanded upon, let me know. I'll either assure you that
I've already planned for it, pretend I have and quickly edit it in,
or send you your own personal explanation, guaranteed to be at least
slightly more creative than, "Damn, I didn't think of that!"
I'll probably send some "DVD extras," such as a deleted scene,
tomorrow instead of 'ay' javmaH chorgh.
The whole story to date (except this one if you're following the link
as soon as this hits the list) is at http://nuqbopbom.blogspot.com.
Click on the 'ay''a' numbers at the right of the blog to get a whole
'ay''a' on a page at once. Beats trying to find them all in your
mailbox, and any corrections I've come up with are there, too.
