Greetings, cadets! I am Martok. You have done well in your training, but there is one more challenge before you can join the KDF. It is an escape room of my own design, which will test your wits, your mettle, and your knowledge of the Klingon language.
A few recommendations:
1. One of you should share your screen so you can all play together.
2. Before you begin, make sure you have access to the hol.kag.org website, the boQwI' mobile app, or some other way of translating words to and from Klingon.
3. Assign someone to take notes.
Other than that, the challenge should be completely self-contained.
When you are ready, press the Start Game button and you will be beamed into the Challenge Room. If you don't open all four of its doors within one hour, you will be honorably 'discharged' and I will find other recruits to join me in battle.
By the way, keep an eye out for my targ. It seems to have escaped, and it's probably hiding somewhere.
Qapla'!
