because he is an unimportant soldier."
QaplaHbe'pu'mo', lujbejbe'pu'. = "Because he could not have succeeded, he
hasn't truly failed."
jatlh torgh, "pIj Qu'meyrajvaD mang potlhbe' bopoQ'a'? = Torg says, "Do you
often need an unimportant soldier for your missions?"
jISap. = "I volunteer."

died honourably."

else."

'oH Sojraj'e' 'ej vutwI' po' jIH." = He says, "Or maQ, while you aren't
needing a pawn, I can cook for you guys. Your food here is garbage, and I'm
a skilled cook."

Torg said, "How did you rescue me?""

= "Torg said quickly, "Set fire on the side when there is danger. I will
merely serve you. I will not ask you questions."" DopDaq qul yIchenmoH
QobDI' ghu' is of course a replacement proverb. Something a Klingon can say
to recover lost honour. Torg has finally realized that he is babbling and
uses this to ask forgiveness.
