[Tlhingan-hol] nuq bop bom: 'ay' wejmaH wa'

[Qov]

I'm off to work for a few days, so there may be a gap in updates for 
the next few days. A sign I'm spending to much time on this story: I 
almost called my co-worker ghutar. His name does begin with a soft 
G-sound, though.

If you're following the story, it will make sense that I remind you 
that we left young ghutar in a spacesuit, in the bathroom, in the dark.

[1] Gee, there's kind of a theme here regarding maintenance 
engineering, isn't there? Could Qov have some issues to work out? 
Nah, it's just that I'm sure Klingons have engineering just as 
inconvenient as we do.
