There was still power enough to run the computer for the self-destruct sequence, there was still enough juice for the elevator to get them to the tranporter room, and there was enough power to transport them down to the planet, So why the hell didn't Kirk send Scotty down to auxilliary to send one photon torpedo to blow the hell out of the Klingon scout ship? Don't try to convince me that there was no way you can launch things other than the bridge, because Spock's coffin was blasted away from the torpedo room (remember Scooty whaling on those bagpipes?) Ooops! The Enterprise probably didn't have to be sacrificed. "Life.. don't talk to me about life" -Marvin Steve Hawley!rabbit!sdh
