[Tlhingan-hol] nuq bop bom: 'ay' wa'vatlh loSmaH: <vItbogh ghoqwI'>
You've had a few days to catch up on 'ay''a' Soch, so I'll start
'ay''a' chorgh today.
In story, this 'ay''a' begins about a week after 'ay''a' jav ended,
on the same long day during which 'ay''a' Soch took place. By way of
review, in 'ay''a' jav:
Klingon agricultural scientist 'eSSIm made a list of facts that
'proved' that Yelwitian merchant Mahoun was a spy, and she sent her
conclusions off to some unspecified military contact, intent on
proving her loyalty to the Empire and shaking off the stigma of being
a traitor's daughter. She and Mahoun attended a UFP presentation that
just made 'eSSIm angry, as did her headache and Mahoun's continued
refusal to admit that he was a spy, or that he was lying about how he
learned Klingon. She eventually got so angry that she tried to run
him through with a rapier, but his crew beamed him out of harm's way.
Mahoun acquired an Andorian slave that the Federation had rescued
from pirates and thought to be Yelwitian like Mahoun, and then
Mahoun's ship Farsajii broke orbit to sell the gharben II grain elsewhere.
Mahoun took a couple of opportunities to go by the site of vajar's
disabled ship, Vigilant, scanning it, and then discovering and
salvaging a treasure trove of valuable contraband floating in space
at the site of the Vigilant's nacelle explosion. Mahoun recalled some
unpleasant experiences at the hands of the Klingons and had some bad
dreams, but he missed 'eSSIm. And besides, there was lots of money to
be made going back to gharben II for more grain.
And that brings us up to ...

SKI: Essim receives a transmission from Captain vajar that confirms
Mahoun's story, and on reflection Essim decides that she has treated
him dishonourably.

[120] Where does the "ghaj project" (which I think is a great idea)
come on 'having' thoughts?

And critics of my pacing must have hit the spot, as I laughed for a
full minute at this.
