[18:06] Stardate 240110.01: "Two Plus Two Equals", Part 3, story by Fraser, teleplay by Jester. [18:07] SUMMARY: Time to go. [18:07] Coro's latest mission involves undercover intelligence- gathering: the Kioth have identified a nearby mining system called Tarndare. In the Tarndare system is a neutral mining station that accepts travellers from all over the region, both Accursed and non-Accursed. As a result, this is a very good location to learn about our potential adversaries and gather information about their interest in Reor. [18:07] Colonel Ironside led a team to Tarndare to try and gather this information. Coro couldn't take them there directly since the frigate is known to the Accursed -- so the team is aboard U.S.S. Vladivostok, a Starfleet freighter. Coro, meanwhile, headed for a nearby mining colony that reported they were under attack. An away team beamed down to find the Kioth mining colony virtually destroyed... [18:07] Two teams from Vladivostok boarded the Tarndare station, disguised as Klingons thanks to the Taeren, who are providing the illusions. While the two teams worked, Savant attempted to hack into the station's information database and the Wraiths sent with Vladivostok attempted to uncover a potentially hostile ship nearby. So far, the teams have learned the true name of the Accursed: the Pfhor.

It is highly unlikely to match these specific base pair. I would estimate the probability to be 1 in 1*10^9. [19:36] Unless they were genetically related. [19:36] <[LCEN_Oswald]> well.. theorically if you go on the absis that they know our translator codex and were delibritely going against it, you could make a translator to translate their speech...
