"I also find it hard to believe that Trip was granted a transfer back to Enterprise three days before, and Archer (and consequently, T'Pol) wasn't aware of this."
Well, he said he'd requested it. Not that it had actually been granted yet.

Yeah I saw the trailer on the site and I have to applaud them for the Defiant though I'm 100% sure someone here will find something wrong with it. It also seems there's going to be a Star Wars-ish battle taking place. I also note that the defiant will be taken to a drydock(that is hope fully automated).

quote:Originally posted by TSN: Trip obviously had quite a dislike for Kelby. Not only did he refer to him as "lieutenant" (surely he was already a LCDR before being promoted?), but he insisted that he was going to let the guy have the chief engineerhood back, even though he knew he had already requested a permanent transfer back to Enterprise.
It was my impression that the Earth-Starfleet only had four ranks for officers: Ensign, Lieutenant, Commander, and Captain. I can't recall an exact reference, but I seem to recall somewhere that that was always the intention for ENT.

Your comment reminds me of an article titled "A Beginner's Guide to Peru" which (among other things) said that the Peruvian Army had only three ranks: private, general and president...

Oh - and can someone PLEASE come up with a decent title for the "In a Mirror, Darkly" tech thread? "Temptechtions" for fuck's sake? I was thinking something like "Slave to Te(c)h Rhythm," something imaginative. If I log on tomorrow and see a title like "Reflective Tech" I will hunt the perpetrator down!

Well, that is his role as laid out in the constitution, though disagreement over his proper use nearly led to armed insurrection in the 1890s, and ever since most of our leaders have been reluctant to even acknowledge his existence. They claim his primary role today is to guard against the unlikely chance of alien invasion. But that's the problem with eldritch superweapons from the Dimension of Shadow.
