[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Indeed. And the Fleming was a medical transport. Perhaps there's a wide spectrum of "mercy ships", ranging from disaster-relief vessels equipped with huge replicators, to special Mobile Starfleet Surgical Hospitals. As for Klingons not attacking the wounded... I dunno. They *are* supposed to slay the wounded to save the honor of the said wounded, as per some dialogue in e.g. "The Ship" IIRC. They also did attack the hospital in "Nor the Battle...". Whether they would actively attack a hospital ship is another matter, but they could be pragmatic about it: what easier way to lower the numbers of enemy soldiers than kill them when they cannot fight back? it's THEIR dishonor for getting into a state where they are helpless, not the attackers' dishonor! The Klingons themselves don't get wounded - they triumph, or they die, thanks to their redundant physique and primitive medicine. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
