"Computer explain the Romulan <[llaekh-ae'rl]> in detail please."

"It is a Romulan form of martial arts, which emphasizes grace and style.� It
includes a number of lethal as well as non-lethal forms of attack, and a
number of passive restraint holds.� It's core is a kata which runs through
moves and disciplines related to the four Elements."

"Not at all."

"That makes sense."

K"Tael nodded in agreement.  "I am surprised by some of this, but I am not so
sure that I have the Security clearance to get the information that you
require, sir.  I am only a Commander."
