two days about their posture, but now that it was coming from some “Klingon expert” he was immediately discounted and she’s a damn genius. He didn’t really understand where everything went topsy turvy, but it was more than he could handle. </span></p>

getting the Klingons to listen. Perhaps he needed to kill somebody. He certainly felt up to it at the moment. </span></p>

smoother road now. Why are we still talking about blood-letting. Whatever the Minister is talking about, that is a Klingon matter, not a Federation one.” </span></p>
