	I have a question. 
	In the episode with the Romulan cloaking device (Balance of Terror?),
after Spock is found and beamed aboard, the Enterprise warps out at warp factor 9.  Now, whatever speed this is, it is faster than light.  How can a phaser, 
developed from the laser, hit *anything* moving trans c????
	
	Also a sign of the still-present double standard.  The female
commander, if she was really a warrior, more probably would have stabbed Spock
for betrayal, rather than allow herself to be captured.


	Any replies?
