I guess "machinery" is a singular word that shouldn't pluralised, so
{'oH} it is.

{Qap} vIlo'qa' vIneHbe'.  But I guess Klingons have less aversion to
repeating the same word than we do.

This was discussed recently in another thread.  There's a Klingon line
in this movie, {tlham chach chu'qa'}.  This suggests "backup system"
would be {pat chach}, i.e., "the system's backup", or "backup of the
system".
