[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] Typing during the commercials as I watch: -- It took the Vulcans 1500 years after their period of devastating wars to rebuild their world and achieve starflight capability, whereas humans did it in less than a century. -- Embassy go boom! -- Basketball game on the hanger deck! Phlox got game! According to him, the sport is reminiscent of Octran fertility contests. (Except that the participants are fully clothed.) -- The Vulcans initially want to blame the Andorians for the embassy bombing, but evidence implicates the Syrrannites, an extremist group of which T'Pau (of "Amok Time" fame) is a member. In fact, according to DNA evidence, she planted the bomb. -- Surak's time was 1800 years ago. -- Koss brings T'Pol an IDIC medallion, similar to the one Spock wore on TOS. They also do the little finger-kiss thing. -- The medallion is actually a holographic projection device designed to show T'Pol where the Syrrannites are hiding out, a desert area known as the Forge. (Where Spock's [i]kahs-wan[/i] was in "Yesteryear" and where Worf and Dax considered going backpacking on their honeymoon.) -- The Forge's geomagnetic properties create a kind of natural dampening field that prevents scanners, communicators and other technology from working. Electrical sandstorms and [i]sehlats[/i] are other indigenous dangers. -- Soval gives Trip a look at the gaps in the High Command's satellite surveilance net. Naughty, naughty... -- The "entrance" to the Forge is called Gateway, where Surak began his journey to enlightenment during the Time of Awakening. Supposedly. None of Surak's original writings still exist. -- The Forge's dampening field only extens a few hundred meters above the ground, so patrol craft can still fly over it even though their sensors can't detect anything. -- Telomeres tell Phlox that 32-year-old T'Pau is being framed for the bombing. (Are these real?) -- The guard at the embassy wore a Starfleet uniform, but he was identified as [b]Corporal[/b] Askwith. What gives? Perhaps he was supposed to wear a MACO uniform and the wardrobe people flubbed. -- I'm going to tactfully refrain from mentioning the oddity of Arev (which is Vulcan for "desert wind") speaking English to T'Pol and Archer. (We know that universal translators can't be at work here.) -- Archer wears cool shades to protect his eyes from the glare as they cross the Plain of Blood. T'Pol and Arev have their inner eyelids. And they only need water every several days. -- OK, kids, I'm sure [i]we[/i] all know the answer to the quiz questions: (1) Who said "Logic is the cement of our civilization, with which we ascend from chaos, using reason as our guide..."?; (2) What is Kiri-kin-tha's First Law of Metaphysics? -- Soval is a melder! SCANDAL! SCANDAL! -- Those electrical sandstorms are called "sandfires," and typically last a day or two. -- The delta on the IDIC represents Mt. Seleya, where Surak died after the last battle with "those who marched under the Raptor's Wings...who wanted to return to savage ways." :eek: -- Turns out the Chief Investigator from the High Command placed the bomb himself, as part of a conspiracy to cast blame on the Syrrannites. -- With his dying breath, Arev melds with Archer and rasps the words "[i]tuluk tu vokau...[/i]." "[i]Vokau[/i]" means "remember." Archer is apparently now carrying the [i]katra[/i] of Surak, which would make Arev...Syrran. -- I wonder how the Syrrannites managed to conceal the T'Karath Sanctuary without the use of technology. Surely they don't expect us to believe it was [i]magic[/i]? [b]QUIZ QUESTION ANSWERS:[/b] 1. T'Plana-Hath, Vulcan matriarch. 2. "Nothing Unreal Exists." -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
