The Surprise docks with the Keep it Simple. The bridge scene here was not in the script and was added in true sci-fi fashion to show ships moving in space and docking. If you got the special effects you got to show off those special effects. As I go through the shooting the Surprise's crew have acquired names if only so I know who they are. In an inside joke some figures used in Attack of the Robofemoids retain the name from that comic. That busty black haired helmsmen remains Rusen. They say that with all the billions of people everyone has their twin somewhere. Since I postulate trillions of humans in the galaxy that possibility expands quite a bit.

This is Star Trek. Outside of Klingons bleeding Pepto bismol (ST:6 the Undiscovered Country) there are no blood baths in Star Trek. Speaking of bloodbaths I'm working on a phaser shoot-out and it has always amazed me how rare it is to actually hit, let alone injure what you shoot at. Either that or the weapons are ineffective for some reason. Practically the only time it really worked was shooting the knight in "Shore Leave with Sulu's revolver.


If anyone cares the away team is Engineer midshipman Chekov, Petty Officer third class Celeste, Doctor Rush, Science midshipman Hakufu, Lieutenant Eomer, Lieutenant Bulloch, Aura and Lieutenant Donagh. Chekov is the same figure from Attack of the Robofemoids. Hakufu, Eomer and Donagh are named for who the figures remind me of. Hakufu Sonsaku from Ikkitousen, Eomer from LOTR and Donagh O'Malley an actor from the Sharpe series.
