[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Remind me (I'm a masochist, after all): which forbidden places have phaser beams been emitted from so far? Shi(r)Kahr was never intended to be the Vulcan capital AFAIK - but rather the Vulcan equivalent of a small midwestern town. At least this is the impression we get from the novels, and the TAS view of the city certainly doesn't impress upon us the feeling of a metropolis. The defining feature fo Shi(r)Kahr in "Yesteryear" is that it sits on the edge of the Forge, which would be a pretty silly place to build your capital on. Spock's ritual combat in "Amok Time" was IIRC at an unspecified location, neither Mount Seleya (where the fal-tor-pan is said to take place) nor Mount Gol of "Gol Stone" fame (which supposedly is the preferred spot of the Kolinahru, but only in the novels). Agreed that the inability to use transporters due to the Forge effects would explain why Kirk and pals landed in ST3. Not that they wouldn't have done that in any case, having a landing-capable ship and all. The quiz machines of ST4 don't spell a role here, as we have no reason to believe that the location in ST4 would be the same as that in ST3. Indeed, Vulcans would probably *seriously* frown upon our heroes parking their pile of junk on the foothills of the Holy Mountain for any length of time; the ST4 location more probably is just a local starport of some sort, quite a distance from Mount Seleya or the Forge.
