While Federation ships talk (or their computers do), the only instance I can recall of a Klingon talking ship or computer is in Discovery. (There's a scene where a device announces something about atmospheric pressurisation to L'Rell, but it's very brief and she does not refer to the device by a pronoun. But in any case, the Klingon wasn't written by Okrand.)</div><div> </div></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">De'vID</div></div>
