[Tlhingan-hol] nuq bop bom: 'ay' cha'vatlh cha'maH Hut: tlhe'moHlu'DI' 'uymoH

[Qov]

vajar is chained up in a cell, undergoing interrogation by General qImyal.

Content: some physical effects of torture are 
considered. I don't think it will turn anyone's stomach.

SKI: As qImyal makes it clear that this 
interrogation will involve non-verbal means 
coercion, vajar formulates a plan of escape.

[325] In what I believe was the second 'ay' of 
the whole story, vajar was looking at old records 
from when he was a guard on a support ship, and 
discovered that his work partner had ratted him 
out for something he didn't do. That person. I 
really didn't expect you to remember him (or 
her?) that this far on. vajar got a promotion out 
of it, because the ensuing investigation showed 
him to be doing an especially good job.
[275] Yes, I know rivets aren't threaded. But you 
figured it out, didn't you? I think I did pretty well, considering.
