[Tlhingan-hol] nuq bop bom: 'ay' HutmaH chorgh: <pelaQ ghorpa'>

[Robyn Stewart]

I'm doing something I haven't done since the first 'ay''a' - changing 
the point of view character in the middle. It should be pretty clear 
that we've moved from 'eSSIm's point of view to Mahoun's, but I'll 
tell you anyway.

Mahoun has just been beamed up to his ship, frustrating 'eSSIm's 
attempt to skewer him.
