[Tlhingan-hol] nuq bop bom: 'ay' wa'vatlh wejmaH: <nepchu'qu'be'>

[Robyn Stewart]

I've been trying to resolve the smartquotes issue I've just started 
noticing. Apologies if it's been bothering others all along: you 
should have told me!

vajar and crew beamed back from Vigilant after collecting personal 
possessions. Hey it may be dull, but at least it's not 250 words a 
day about *my* life. Oh wait, it is: waiting, security procedures, 
meetings and flying around in outer space. Except for the outer space 
part. I fly around Alberta.

SKI: vajar announces crew reassignments.

[149] Can you tell I do a lot of writing in airports? I've been 
travelling in the USA this month, where the security procedures are 
insane. It's clearly coming through in the writing. I've removed a 
lot of security procedures on re-editing, because even Klingons 
aren't that paranoid. And they don't put me through USELESS searches.

Earlier episodes as always can be found at http://nuqbopbom.blogspot.com
I told a few people in private e-mail about something that was coming 
up in a particular chapter. I've re-edited the story quite a bit 
since then and the chapters have been rearranged beyond recognition, 
so now that chapter is a long way off again and I can't tell you what 
number it will have.
