The Destiny novels did it for me. The overall storyline wad not bad, but the Deus Ex Machina ending ruined it for me.

I really like the older, pre-TNG novels. Have you ever read The Pandora Principle? It still gives me chills. And Spock's world? It has one of the most cathartic things I've ever read.

"But the word for mountain remained heya."
Gotta admit, I criedl ike a little bitch while reading that. As a Hungarian, I can identify with the concept of that scene. My people were trampled upon more often than not by foreign powers, who all did their fair share of destryoing our heritage. But we keep moving on by keeping up such memories.

Funny, I prefer to use, His Grace, or His Holiness to describe myself.
The real question is, will this bluff work?

What do you think of STO's (Star Trek Online) depiction of the Tzenkethi?

I have to admit, I haven't played STO in years, so I have no idea how they are depicted there.

OK, i'm intrigued.
We know so little about the Tzenkethi aside from some apocrypha and a few glimpses from the Trek novel-verse.Β

Interesting...
That might be something that most Vulcans would have found out while working with humans:
"They are highly adaptable to new situations."

According to what I've read about them in the Star Trek: Typhon Pact series, the Tzenkethi are humanoid, but with no real bone structure. Fluid-filled sacs act as their skeletal structure, which they can inflate and deflate to move their limbs. This enables them to do such unheard of (unless you're a great contortionist) things as bending their legs backwards, folding their legs and indeed their bodies (at the waist) and folding themselves in half. In one Typhon Pact novel, these abilities make it difficult for them to sit as other humanoids do, so they have floating disks they can fold themselves on.
Another characteristic of the Tzenkethi, according to the novels, is their various glowing skin colors. It seems the brighter the color, the higher in the government they are, with the Autarch glowing gold. They also have designations that seem to indicate their place in society-like a caste-as well as level. The main Tzekethi character featured was named Alizome Vik Tov-A with the Tov being indicative of her place as a problem-solver and the A placing being the top rating. One other feature of their physiology is the fact that Tzenkethi speak with a voice that sounds like gentle windchimes. Romulan ambassador to the Pact, Tomalak, even found Alizome rather enchanting because of both the glow she emitted and her voice.

Some universities have those titles... For the professors. At the Catholic University of Bologna the teacher of Roman Law is a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire.
