I've been busy redesigning my site again, and this also includes updating my Members database. And I have a few questions for you..<br /><br />- First, does anyone here have the FASA <i>Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home</i> Sourcebook Update? This is allegedly the book where the Voyage Home aliens (Arkenites, Ariolo etc.) got their names. Can anyone confirm this?<br /><br />- In Bjo Trimble's "On the Good Ship Enterprise: My 15 Years With Star Trek" there's a chapter called <i>"Worene" -- A Special Alien in ST:TMP</i>. Therin's website lists the freaky female alien as "Worene". Is there any evidence to support this? Does anyone have this book? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Shik</b> <br /><small>Member # 343</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2003,2,7,6,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">March 07, 2003</span> <span class="timeformat-0">06:33 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I had the FASA book.
