[Tlhingan-hol] nuq bop bom: 'ay' wa'vatlh wejmaH Hut: <noH ghu>
This is the final 'ay' in 'ay''a' Soch. It contains a story that I
hope you'll like. It about what was, up until this week, probably the
most exciting episode in ghutar's life, and he doesn't even remember
it. That doesn't stop him from telling the story, though.
vajar had just said that his ship was constructed eighteen years ago,
but that wasn't so old.

SKI: ghutar relates a family story and Hota'ro''s promotion is toasted.
----
[111] I like the idea that, unlike a teenager in my culture, ghutar
isn't the least bit squicked to relate the story of his glorious conception.
[203] Changed from lut yIja' based on recent discussion, but I don't
have to like it.
----
To recap the whole 'ay''a', vajar, Hota'ro' and ghutar have been
rescued from what's left of Vigilant by Hota'ro''s former posting,
the battleship Warfare, captained by General qImyal. Our crew has
been given medical attention, not trusted to walk the corridors of
Warfare alone, accused of smuggling, searched, monitored,
interrogated and told various stories about the repairability of
their ship. ghutar won a dual, Hota'ro' won an uncontested corridor
encounter, and vajar may have outmanoeuvred qImyal with some
personnel assignments. Hota'ro' is now first officer of Vigilant ,
and officially ghutar is no longer a member of the crew, just a
passenger on his way to a posting at the dock where Vigilant will be repaired.

I'll give you a few days respite and then start sending 'ay''a'
chorgh, which takes us back to 'eSSIm's point of view.
