  yInbogh Dep jemlaHbe' Hoqra' 
  It's not registering as a lifeform (DSC "Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum")


TREK TRIVIA:
   The name tricorder refers to "a triple sensor-recorder-analyzer function" (ghunchu'wI').
   Klingon tricorders were seen and used by Kruge's landing party in ST3. 
   In ENTERPRISE "hand scanners" were used like tricorders.  Starfleet and Vulcans each had their own model. (ENT "The Crossing", et al.)
