I'm afraid I'll miss something if I try to change it now, and make it
worse. Next ship.

While I was looking at it I suddenly realized that what I meant in
the first place had been 'ach tlhobvIpbe'. So I put that.

The line is now:
Qub HoD. ja''egh <'ungya HIvchugh DeghwI' vImunbe'> bojchoH.
I finished 'ay''a' loSDIch, which means it's now time to rip it apart
and write it over again. I removed all the parts that didn't fit
comfortably last night and thought I was done, but I read it again
tonight and nothing happens! Aargh. I at least must ensure that
nothing happens in a fun and suspenseful way. :-)
Or maybe I should just aim for grammatically correct.
