Here's the third-to-last part for this 'ay''a', sent with a little
trepidation. It's a longer one, a little over three hundred words,
but I didn't want to stretch it into two. The odd numbering reflects
the fact that I decided to write this part (and the following one)
only after writing the next twenty parts, and I didn't want to
renumber them all.
Also, I'm now posting the story on

I'm sending it here, so if you prefer to read and comment there, go ahead.
At the end of the last part, Mahoun made a proposition to Essim, and
she seemed to be considering it.

So yeah, I held out on the issue of intercompatibilty of alien
devices but caved to the convention when it came to nouns that take
plurals in -Du'. Maybe if I could be sure of a Klingon expression for
"Hang on, I have to check if I have an adaptor for that."
