OOC: Post Subject translates to "There's nothing happening here." according to The Klingon Dictionary by Marc Okrand.

IC: Lieutenant Commander Navarro approached the entrance to So Long and Thanks for All the Fish, a half a dozen people in Star Fleet security uniforms behind her.

"Lieutenant, here to join the fun?" Navarro asked Kinnara dryly, her tone speaking of exactly how much fun she really thought this was going to be. For the second time since they first met, Navarro didn't give Kinnara a chance to answer before moving on, noticing that the Vulcan in Diziara's company having his gaze pointed in their direction. "Is that Commander Storvik?" she directed to the crewman at her right as she started into the bar.

"I believe Commander Storvik was promoted to Captain, but I don't recall him having a beard," the crewman answered her, falling into step behind her.

"Didn't he commonly wear that beard when here under cover?"

"Ma'am, further research has lead me to believe there are actually two Storviks, but in the last couple months the computer will not give me any information on Storvik, so I can't be sure. I believe the beard suggests it is his analog from a parallel universe. I suggest caution," the crewman explained. Navarro sighed.

"Why doesn't anyone keep me informed on important details like this?" She approached the table Diziara, "evil" Storvik and Therav were seated at, the security force clustering behind her. Before any of the table's occupants could respond, Navarro addressed Diziara. "Lieutenant junior grade Diziara, I am authorized to place you under arrest under suspicion of the Murder of Lieutenant Commander Robert Jefferies."

"chay' jay' 1 If I was going to kill that petaQ 2, he would have been armed and facing me. It certainly wouldn't have been through some cowardly injection process," Diziara stood up throwing her chair back and glared at the security officer, moving close enough that there was less than an inch between their noses. Navarro had to tilt her head up to make up for the four inch difference in height between her and Diziara, but she acted as if it didn't matter.

"It is in your best interest to turn yourself in quietly," Navarro stated, not listing the dozens of things she suspected Diziara would try, and would then be charged for. The things that caused more paperwork.

"If you came hoping to avoid a fight, why'd you bring the brute squad?" Diziara hissed at the woman in front of her as she sized up who Navarro had brought in as backup. With the exception of the young Klingon woman who was hovering in the back as if she was sizing up the situation before jumping in, Diziara knew everyone present and didn't hold them in very high regards. "yIH ngaghwI' 3" Diziara directed at Navarro and turned her back on the brute squad to addressed Storvik and Therav. "I apologize for having to leave you like this, we really must get together again some time." Diziara carefully took off her drinking hat, set in on the table, then capped the Romulan Ale.

"Wade, catch!" Diziara called to the Orion woman behind the bar, and tossed the bottle of Romulan Ale out of the way. As the Ale was still in the air, Diziara reached into Therav's coat with her off hand, emerging with the phaser he kept there, and she swung with her other fist as she came up from her phaser fishing exercise. The swung fist was a hard right cross for Navarro, and without waiting to see the reaction, Diziara back flipped over the table she'd just made friends over and dove behind another that was still flipped on its side from the earlier fight Tumor had started.

OOC: The translations of the cursing is sadly PG rated as The Klingon Dictionary chooses to be "family friendly", which is not accurate for the proud warrior language. Oh well, what can I do?

1. chay' jay' translates to roughly "What the #$*@ is going on?" The Klingon Dictionary offers chay' to mean "How did this happen?/What's going on?" and the addition of jay' intensifies the sentence such that it becomes an invective.

2. petaQ is an old favorite among single word epithets, frequently used by people who don't speak a word of Klingon otherwise. The Klingon Language Institute says that it has thus lost some of it's insult value.

3. yIH ngaghwI' translates to "one who mates with tribbles", as lifted from the politeness page in the KLI's wiki.
