[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] On Princeton graduating a class already in 2064... assuming they have some similarity to the Fall-to-Spring school year that the US uses today (and apparently used by Starfleet Academy as well), that suggests that Princeton got its act together and rustled up a class within months after First Contact. I find that unlikely. Also, I find it relatively unlikely that Princeton itself could have survived. Even if it was a limited nuclear exchange with "only" 600 million dead, Princeton itself is smack in the middle of the Northeast Corridor, the most densely populated part of the United States. IIRC it's about halfway from New York to Philadelphia. I'm not familiar with any of the projections for a Soviet-era nuclear war, but I'd be very surprised if Princeton was able to survive and keep running. Alternatively, Cochrane had to have a lab of some kind to be able to manufacture warp coils, plasma transfer conduits, and so forth, even if it was primitive stuff. As for the credibility of Cochrane's story... I figure he'd already cleaned up his act, but since it was relatively soon after the First Contact, they probably figured it was still some kind of delusion. Heck, remember how Cochrane yelled "to hell with the Phoenix!" during the Borg attack? Maybe it was something like that, they figured. Maybe Lily decided to tell a story like that, her being the "brains" of that duo ;) , to try to cover up. [/QB][/QUOTE]
