The Zalkonians are the kind of verge-of-trancendence people that love choking people with their warship choke beams. And nobody loves the choke beam more than Commander Sunad. What exactly are they transcending into, anyway? The largest buttcheeks in the galaxy? Do Klingon accountants have to battle Imperial Revenue Agents to file a tax return? Are transporters carcinogenic? Can Ensign Tom hit a barn if he fires all the torpedoes? It's another pod where almost none of those questions are answered!
