Commander Sulu. Of course they knew who they were. > Brad Templeton - Waterloo, Ontario (519) 886-7304 First of all, Sulu is a full Commander, if not a Captain (as in McIntyre's novelizations of ST2 and 3). Second, it appeared pretty clear to me that Sulu was trying to appear to be somebody's messenger boy (still in Starfleet) rather than an officer. Third, I do not think the responses of the security guards were insubordinate at all. Disrespectful, maybe, but not insubordinate. You have to take into account the type of Starfleet people who would end up in security, particularly those who become stockade guards. -- "The more they overthink the plumbin', the easier 'tis to stop up the drain."
