[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] A couple of ocmments. From the tech point of view, big ships *were* known to have a cloaking capability at that date. After all, we saw the Klingon/Romulan battlecruisers cloak in TOS "The Enterprise Incident". So if Spock/Chekov could immediately deduce that it was not just a Klingon ship, but a Klingon *BoP* specifically, then there's good reason to believe that they reached this conclusion based on "tech evidence" (e.g. what the cloakship was emitting and what it wasn't, and what weapons it used, etc.). So first they would deduce that it was a BoP, and only then they would go "Of course, this means that the assassins must be Klingons". From the political point of view, Romulans were quite obviously buddy-buddy with the Feds at this time. Still, this shouldn't have stopped Spock from holding them as the prime suspects, since the crime was obviously aimed at igniting a Fed-Klingon war and Romulans would be the ones to benefit from that. So apparently, there was another, stronger reason to suspect the Klingons themselves. Whether it was this tech thing (that is, the crew could immediately identify the assailant as a Klingon BoP because of some tech telltales) or perhaps inside info (e.g. Gorkon had told Spock that an assassination attempt by his kinsmen was imminent) or something else... I vote for the tech evidence theory. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
