The Klingon soap opera continues. I have an idea for my next project that
will let me explore all the themes and whims and moods I have put into
this one without overcomplicating the plot. Except that I like
connections, so I'm afraid some would sneak in. But they'd be optional
for the reader. I'm hoping that a lot of the complexity of this one
is optional. Can you pop in and read one 250 word conversation or battle
and not need to know all the connections?<br><br>
I hope even if the story isn't completely your cup of tea that you can
get some fun out of using it for reviewing vocabulary, answering my
questions about how better to express an idea, or arguing about the
choices I'm making.<br>

Review: The captain took Lt. Hota'ro' aside for a conversation away from
Warfare's security monitors.<br>

<font face="Times New Roman, Times">[91] I suddenly realized here that
there is no Klingon word for paranoid. Or is that word covered by
?Klingon??<br>
[92] I initially wrote here: yaS wa'DIchlI''e' jIHbe' 'e' vIyaj. 'ach DaH
yaSlI' wa'DIch jIH, and it took until I was trying to translate it into
English before I realized that a) it doesn't work in English and b) it
probably doesn't work in Klingon either, bur it was really odd how
convinced I was that it made sense. You get, right, even if you are sure
it's wrong? <br>
[96] That is Nausicans, a species whose males, if I recall correctly,
keep their testicles in their knees.<br>
[99] I find this word a little weird because it seems like it should mean
suspect, but it means predecessor. I found a great English parallel
though. ?Debride? sounds like it should mean divorce. <br>
