25 questions. Have at it.

You are wise, witty, and wonderful, but you spend far too much time reading this sort of trash.

*waits for someone else to ask the Frank-related question*

Is it colorful?

It organic?

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

I would not describe it as colorful.

It's not organic.

------------------
You are wise, witty, and wonderful, but you spend far too much time reading this sort of trash.

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

Is that organic as in molecularly carbon-based or organic as in a living organism?

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

Organic as defined: Of, relating to, or derived from living organisms.

Yep.

Not organic
Not colorful
Seen before "Time's Arrow, Pt. II"

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

Was it seen in TNG?

Is it bigger than a Type X shuttlecraft?

------------------
"My Name is Elmer Fudd, Millionaire. I own a Mansion and a Yacht."
Psychiatrist: "Again."

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

Nope, not seen in TNG.

Definitely bigger than a shuttlecraft.

Was it in TOS?

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

No, not in TOS.

That leaves the movies then.

Was it featured before Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home?

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

Is it a celestial object?

------------------
"My Name is Elmer Fudd, Millionaire. I own a Mansion and a Yacht."
Psychiatrist: "Again."

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

Affirm, it was seen before ST4.

I can't really tell you whether it's a celestial object or not. That'd be like asking whether it's an anomaly.

Eighteen left.

Posted by Jeff Raven (Member # 20) on :

Omega, not necessarily. A celestial object is something borne in space. It could be an anomaly, or a planet, or a star, or a black hole... Its too broad a term to consider it just an anomaly.

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

Was it featured in or before TWOK?

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

True, but under the new rules, anomaly has been redefined to include all those things.

Yes, it was in or before TWOK.

Posted by Jeff Raven (Member # 20) on :

Was it V'Ger?

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

Not all anomalies are Celestial Objects.

Tyken's Rift is not a Celestial object, but it is an anomaly.

------------------
"My Name is Elmer Fudd, Millionaire. I own a Mansion and a Yacht."
Psychiatrist: "Again."

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

OK, well then, no it isn't a celestial object.

No, not V'Ger.

15...

Recap:

Not organic
Not colorful
Existed after TOS and before or in Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan
Definitely bigger than a shuttlecraft
Not V'ger
Not a celestial object

Is it built by humans?

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

It's safe to assume that humans were involved in its construction

Is it the USS Reliant? (Not sure if that counts as "colorful" or not)

Posted by Jeff Raven (Member # 20) on :

Is it Regula 1, or whatever that space-station was called?

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

Well, since no one else wants to narrow it down, and there being a lot of stuff that could apply in both TMP and TWOK...

Was it seen in TMP?

Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :

Is it capable of achieving FTL Speed?

Not Reliant.

Not Regula 1.

It was in TMP.

It is not capable of FTL travel under its own power.

Ten left.

Is it the Epsilon IX Comm Station?

I think he's dead...

Oop, sorry. For some odd reason, I thought the number of posts was at 30 after I posted my last reply.

Nope, not Epsilon 9.

And then there were nine.

I don't recall an orbital office complex in TMP, but no, that's not it.

The Orbital Office Complex is where Scotty picks Kirk up from to go the the Enterprise, IIRC.

Is it Drydock?
