Improvised Star Trek has provided a short video which is being played at the beginning of A Klingon Christmas Carol. Some of the actors from A Klingon Christmas Carol reciprocated by providing a different reading in Klingon to Improvised Star Trek. Thus it is the "reciprocal" piece. The two are not directly realted, just different things exchanged in a reciprocal manner.<div><br></div><div>The original English was composed by one of the cast members (Josh Zagoren who plays tImHom qa') for a performance art piece. The translation is being read by Kevin Alves, the actor who plays SQuja'. The original was translated in a group effort - mostly by qurgh with some assitance from Christopher Kidder and myself. The version that was recorded for Improvised Star trek is slightly different, but I will post the original translation and you can find the alterations yourself.</div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#2A2A2A" face="monospace, Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000" face="Tahoma"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;"><br></span></font></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma, Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif"><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family:Cambria;color:black"><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>‘o <peyper maSetIy>, maqghIy HoD jIH</span></i><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black"><br>
