SKI: vajar assesses his situation while qImyal assesses something 
vajar can't identify.

[284] anyone able to read that without adding <... jay'>
[291] You'd think there'd be a cockpit alarm to indicate that the 
cloaking device was offline, but it seems that either the annunciator 
has failed, or qImyal isn't alertly monitoring her caution panel.
[292] You may recall that after a heated technical discussion they 
elected for safety and efficiency to remove the remaining nacelle and 
then transport *Vigilant* outside *Warfare*'s hull.
[293] What's not to love about a language that has a single word for 
"because he couldn't use his big toes properly"?

Please note that the next installment will be numbered 239, because I 
have renumbered all the chapters to make the inserted 21A and 21B fit 
properly. So you're not missing 237 and 238. Everything after 21 has 
moved up two numbers.
