In article <570@riccb.UUCP> you write: > >Nope, nope. A Starship as a first command? More like a scout or destroyer >class vessel. But maybe he'll be punished for his participation in ST3 by >yanking his promotion back and he won't have a command at all. > Sulu was suppose to be captain of the Excelesior in the novelization of ST III. They were considering him for Captain of an experimental Starship, so I don't think it would be unreasonable to give him a starship. Maybe not a first line starship, but a good size like the starship in ST II (Reliant) for his first command. >> UHURA: Starship command, scout class. She has the seniority, and she's >> worked with the Federation's best commander. Wouldn't it be neat if "Mr. >> Excitement" was assigned to her ship? :-) > >Probably not. They'll chalk it up to bugs in a new system. And it's not >a front-line ship, it's an experimental vessel, just about ready to begin >trial runs. His punishment will be demotion to Commander. Someone will >need a chief engineer on their ship. > Definitely, no one could really prove that Scotty did anything to the Excelsior unless he blabbed to the whole world what he did do. A case could be made on circumstantial evidence, but no concrete proof other than he was aboard the Enterprise when Kirk lost it. >-- >"It's only by NOT taking the human race seriously that I retain what > fragments of my once considerable mental powers I still possess!" > Roger Noe ihnp4!riccb!rjnoe "Live Long and Prosper!"
