[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] -On a sad day with the flu, I counted the number of ships at the end of "Call to Arms" at 97. -It's Annika HANSEN and Admiral HANSON. No relation. -The odds of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Earth being in a straight line are not astronomical, but not too likely. However, they don't have to be in a straight line out from the sun in order to make sense, which increases the chances. If you subscribe to the notion that "Jupiter Outpost 92" was not in orbit of Jupiter, but somewhere in the orbital shell, that makes it even more likely. However, all of this is not taking into account whether or not each planet would be in the same orbital plane, which they rarely are. -Re: The Good Ship Republic. Assuming she hadn't left the Terran system in 50 years (according to Cadet Collins), and as they were talking about the ship in the present tense (as in "still in service with the Academy") then it certainly wasn't at Wolf 359. My question was referring to where she *was*, and what she was doing while the cube was hovering over Earth. Perhaps if she was still warp-capable, she would be in the charge of mixed non-Fleet ships leaving the system, which didn't last very long before the Enterprise did her sleepy thang. Or perhaps she was hanging in orbit around one of the planets, Starfleet Command having realized that one outdated ship probably couldn't halep any more than 40 more current ones... [Edit: Captain Mike doesn't like talking about the Republic. I do, and I think it could very well be that same ship Kirk served on. So there. Nyahhh... :) ] -If you were the Sol system and were facing to the galactic core, if you raised your right arm and pointed it about 45 degrees up and slightly back of your body, you'd be pointing at Wolf 359 - 7.6 light years away. Now, this means that the cube was not necessarily travelling directly in from the Delta Quadrant, especially if you put New Providence Colony on a straight line with Sol and Wolf 359. What this probably means is that the cube was travelling in from some point "above" the plane of the eliptic, which is definitely not a straight line if you were coming in from the DQ. This in turn suggests that it popped out of a transwarp conduit somewhere "up" there and bee-lined for Earth. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
