[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb] I'd say that ST3 is good evidence that the Grissom *wasn't* a scout-class vessel. Chekov says he sees a scout. Kirk's response is one of *doubt* and *concern*! I got the impression that the Grissom could in certain special conditions be *mistaken* for a scout class vessel, which Kirk thought might have happened. But he said that only to placate the crew - secretly, he was concerned that if there really was a scout class vessel out there, then he was leading his friends into some sort of unscheduled trouble. [/qb][/QUOTE]As for my two cents: [QUOTE] 150 <center> CHEKOV Sir, Starfleet calling Grissom again. A warning about us. KIRK Response? CHEKOV (a beat) Nothing. As before. KIRK What's Grissom up to?... Will they join us, or fire on us...? (thinks) Chekov, break radio silence. Send my compliments to Captain Esteban. CHEKOV Aye, sir.</center> [/QUOTE]Later... [QUOTE] 165 INT. ENTERPRISE BRIDGE - FAVORING CHEKOV At the science station, the blue light of the scanner flickering on his face. <center> CHEKOV I'd swear something was there sir, but I might have imagined it. KIRK What did you see, Chekov? CHEKOV For an instant... A scout class vessel. KIRK (thoughtfully) Could be Grissom. (then) Patch in the hailing frequency. (at Chekov's nod) U.S.S. Grissom, this is Enterprise calling. Come in, please. </center> [/QUOTE]I think "doubt" or "concern" is a bit extreme... I believe, based on the first quote, Kirk was still wondering whose side the Grissom was on. If, indeed, that was the Grissom, as they established from sensor contact something resembling Grissom [i]was[/i] in orbit, they were attempting to hail her again, curious on her allegiance.... ...also if you really want to be anal...the script identified the Grissom as: [i]A mid-sized Federation Science Vessel...,[/i] and the Klingons identified the Enterprise (in Klingon terms) as a "Federation Battle Cruiser".
