[Scene:  the bridge of Pegasus.  Communications officer T-Bone McManx has just handed Lord Spatula I, King & Tyrant a communiqué from Realm™ Command, and is scurrying out of the way as fast as his legs will carry him – he knows what’s coming.
Our Hero™, still wearing the hood of his cloak, takes the communiqué and studies it intently for about 15 seconds.  The eyes begin to glow purple again.]
LSIK&T:  Captain.
[Captain Korrioth, who has been attempting to locate the Shelliak shipyard HQ, jumps slightly.]
KORRIOTH:  M’lord?
[His Rudeness gestures.  Korrioth goes flying across the bridge and crashes hard into the bulkhead.]
LSIK&T:  They found your bat’leth.
This horrifying five-foot weapon has been recovered by police during a knife amnesty.
The three-handled sword with a blade at either end, designed to be swung like a paddle, shocked officers who took custody of it.
KORRIOTH (shaking away the cobwebs):  It is not  a “paddle”!  What, do those p’tahkmey  think you can play ping-pong  with it?
LSIK&T:  Oh, it gets better, Captain.
A spokesman for police in Gloucester, where it was surrendered, said: “It is a particularly nasty weapon that can, literally, take someone’s head off. We are very glad it is off the streets and we want more weapons handed in.”
KORRIOTH:  I will be pleased  to give them my mek’leth  in exchange – point first.
LSIK&T:  Easy, my friend.  They’re already scared shitless of your pride & joy as it is.
The blade is believed to be a stainless-steel copy of a Klingon weapon used in the science fiction series Star Trek.
KORRIOTH:  Believed  to be?  Do these morons not watch our chronicles?
LSIK&T:  Apparently not.  They appear to be too busy pussifying the general populace.
“It’s an extremely dangerous weapon,” said a martial arts expert last night.
KORRIOTH:  Damn straight it is.  Particularly in the hands of untrained amateurs.
LSIK&T:  When we return after this conquest, you can…educate  them.
KORRIOTH:  You are most magnanimous, m’liege.
LSIK&T:  Just don’t lose it again, okay?  That’ll be thanks enough for me.
KORRIOTH (relieved that the resonance has left Spats’ voice):  Mheh.
