[QUOTE]Originally posted by targetemployee: [QB] Peregrinus I am aware of the differences. When I wrote this piece, I include observations and paraphrasing of dialogue. This is common on this site. Some of these observations involve real world science. The Eugenics War is stated very clearly by Spock to be the last global war. This war was not done behind closed doors. Cities and nations were being destroyed. Considering our knowledge of the Star Trek universe, the Eugenics War makes more sense if placed after the Third World War. The Third World War caused massive damage and killed 600 billion. In this carnage, hundreds of genetically breed humans could have taken control of 3/4 of the world's population. In the beginning, they were seen as a blessing. Later, the populace would have seen them as tyrants intent on control and seizing other territories. The populace rebelled and overthrew the dictators. One dictator survived with his followers. Further, Peregrinus, you said that the S.S. Botany Bay would have gotten a boost from the sling shot effect. I read in an article that as a ship enters the Kuiper Belt, the ship slows down. This is proved by the probes we have sent over the past twenty years. The S.S. Botany Bay would have slowed down and would have been eventually found by a passing ship. I, therefore, postulated that the S.S. Botany Bay was a warp capable ship with a very low warp. She could travel 20 plus light years in 200 years with warp. To go to the beginning, I don't see how my observations, opinions, and use of dialogue is any different than any else on this forum. Yet Peregrinus, you opinioned that I don't know the difference. I know the difference. Please read my piece again closely. Thank you. I enjoyed writing this piece and hope to hear more voices.
