[Qov]

The Thunderbird experiment ended abruptly when I 
invoked the program with a switch that was 
supposed to allow me post as Qov (Eudora just 
lets me edit my name directly). It deleted all 
the information I had given it on all my accounts 
and seemed unable to verify it when I tried to 
recreate them. So %#@& Mozilla Thunderbird. I'm back to Eudora.

While qImyal's ship was attacking the defenceless 
Hov matlh, a shuttlecraft starting firing on qImyal.

SKI:  The distraction of the shuttlecraft gives 
qaH'eng a chance to get Hov matlh systems on line, but not perfectly.

[296] Star Trek research on the ramming situation 
makes it both a plausible last-ditch tactic and 
plausible that the undamaged shields on the 
superior ship could absorb the energy.
