He was the fellow who hated Romulans because his grandfather had been in the First Romulan War, and who didn't trust Spock's pointy ears especially when they got the Romulans on video. According to the book, the computer starts permanent video recordings in critical areas whenever there is a red alert, and otherwise keeps a tape loop of a few minutes' duration. You may have noticed my flaming earlier about the wonderful Saavik character in the ST2 and ST3 books as opposed to the lousy portrayal in the films. I did a little introspecting and noticed I was reacting to Saavik in about the same way that female fans have traditionally reacted to Spock... Fascinating. `:-) Why don't they let Vonda McIntyre write the movies and send Harve Bennett off to do publicity or something? -------
