There, in glorious black & white, on page TO:02:06:20 no less, it clearly states that Velocity = Warp Factor cubed times C. I'm not speculating as to whether this is a suitable speed for the distances travelled or not, I'm just clearing up a point of some controversy. Now let's argue about whether or not the Technical Manual is an acceptable source of information! :-) Yours in the interests of a good argument, The Great Green Arkleseizure Jamie Green {decvax,ihnp4,allegra}!uw-beaver!uw-june!gordon gordon@uw-june.arpa
