Klingon captain: Ok, fair mevyap mah are the tlhingan segh 'ej mah are a duj of rogue tlhingan beings 'e' neh neh roj 'ej mah ghaj 20 sanid souls on-'echlet.
Me: Maj mevyap. Bye
Klingon captain: Ok, bye

Somewhere in the infinite universe that I call my home, a dark presence was about to make itself known.

???: You will pay for what you did, Author Odinson. You will pay. Mwahahaha

Back with Julie and Chase, they were on the way to the spaceport so they could go on their honeymoon. They just can't decide where, though.

These are the Star Trek Planetary Classifications:

Lifeforms None
Example Gothos

Class B (Geomorteus)
Age 0-10 billion years
Diameter 1,000-10,000km
Location Hot Zone
Surface Partially molten, high surface temperature
Atmosphere Extremely tenuous, few chemically active gases

Example Rigel XII, Tau Cygna V

Class I (Gas Supergiant)
Age 2-10 billion years
Diameter 140,000-10 million km
Location Cold Zone
