Resistance by J. M. Dillard p.181-182 She was no more than a bust: a lifeless head and shoulders. They sat atop an exposed snakelike spine fashioned of bone and steel and blood. The whole of it, from the queen’s neck down, was enveloped by a translucent, glistening cocoon...nutrients, Locutus knew. The nectar allowed only the queen. But her sculpted body, of dully gleaming black metal, awaited her nearby, tended by two dead-eyed, ghostly drones. The body stood in a gruesome alert fashion, legs and arms animate and slightly twitching, almost as if impatient for the absent head to rest upon its shoulders. p.306 ”tlh Ingah jIH.” I am Klingon.
