Lines: 19 Has anyone thought of the cloaking device yet? It's still functional, as far as we know, and might serve to get Kirk and company past the federation checkpoints. Just add illegal entry to his other 'crimes'... I have a trivia question: In S.T.-The Motion Sickness (LOVE that phrase, whomever coined it.) at the very end, Admiral Nakamura requests Kirk and crew beam down for debriefing. Kirk says something like 'request denied', the idea being that Kirk is taking advantage of a polite turn of phrase on the part of his commanding officer to disobey a direct order. Was this in the movie or just in the book? I'm not about to sit through it again to find out. -- "Trivia is important." Ron Christian Watkins-Johnson Co. San Jose, Calif. (...ios!wjvax!ron)
