Klingon Needed

[Long Hall]

I'm afraid I'm not a big follower of the Klingon side of the Star Trek story. But I have just started a post in which a Klingon battlecruiser is responding to a distress call from the King George. Can any of you good warriors out there give me some Klingon dialog to use when attacking or when chasing a retreating foe?

Here are some phrases and words from the Klingon Dictionary that might be useful.

Thank you, Sue. That will be very helpful. :)

But really, what I meant was what would they say? What would a Klingon commander say as he is attacking a pirate? Or what would he say if they try to flee? The Klingon equivalent of "come back here, you cowardly dog!" or something?

In other words I'm looking for character advice as much as dialog translation.

[Sue]

That would depend on how cold and hard your Klingon commander is.

He/She could say something like:-

If you allow them to escape, I will skin you and feed you to MY Targs.

I want them alive, disable and capture that vessel. If the Captain resists kill 5 of the crew!

Other than that my mind seems to of gone blank on me, which is never good.

Separ would be a good one to give you some advice.

I put that list of phrases into the wiki.

I'll categorize it later, and add a list of curses too... if Sapar don't do it before I get there.
