"Yeah, well Kirk should get away with it because he came back with a Klingon Warship." Well, how does Starfleet know what happened out there? For all they know, Jim's ship went kerflooey by accident, so he just took over a Klingon ship. The Klingons have free reign on this one...they can fake some nice broadcasts from their ship about how they were attacked in the neutral zone by this Federation Starship. See? No one has any proof about what happened. Remember, Starfleet didn't see the movie. All they know is that Jim Kirk went out in the Enterprise and showed up at Vulcan with the Klingon Ship. The Klingons can put whatever filler in the middle that they want. Now, let's see. The Klingons are all upset and, once again, threatening interstellar war if something isn't done about this silly renegade named Jim Kirk and his band of militiamen. Now, which do you think is more important to Star Fleet: Jim Kirk's career/hide or the lives of billions of people if the Klingons make good their threat and go to war? Sorry, Jim, you're up shits creek. -- "We haven't got a paddle. Peter Merchant We haven't even got a boat!" -- Col. Hogan
