Ok I don't think Cogito was being literal SB. Now granted I could be wrong because I take everything literally. But I'm turning over a new leaf and assuming that wasn't meant to be serious. WONDERFUL JOB!

You're two for two SB. The clue to the third question is in what Travis is doing. :)

Oh man! You mean Travis isn't playing with a baby Lorien? Sorry I guess I'm just missing my own little man today. But doesn't the inertial dampeners keep people from getting motion sickness on ships and shuttles?

Inertial whatners? Nope, sorry, we don't have those on our shuttlepods. No, this time SB was right on the money. But what episode does this relate to? The clue is still in what Travis was doing.

No intertial dampeners??????? Seriously! I've never heard of an ST vessel without them. Ug I'd never make it out in space during ENT time. The blue ridge mountain roads of Virgina are bad enough in a Chevy pickup. :upchuck:

It would seem that he is dog fighting. Doing twists and turns on th eshuttle pod. If the Commander just had lunch his tummy might get a little upset.

Spot on! For some reason the thought of Travis doing this for real (and especially with two senior officers in the back) made me laugh even more than the thought of Trip pretending with Lorien. There is a link to an episode - can you guess which one?

Cogito was that in the Nazi two parter where Trip and Travis were in a shuttle that was attacked by fighters of WWII vintage? Mind mush this early in the A.M. and too lazy to look it up.

Yes indeed. I don't think we ever actually saw Travis piloting Trip and T'Pol in that episode, but I'm sure it must have happened at some point.

Well done SB!

Okay, here is an easy drabble. I streched it a bit. One character is obvious. but who is the other character and what Episode was the character found in.

SB


“Is he going to stay or go back?”
“His presence is very beneficial to our operations.”
Then you want him to come back?”
“To stay, yes I would like him to come back.”
Maybe he wants to stay”
“He must not do that. “
“Why not?”
He would be missed. He has been a part of us.”
“A part of “us” or you?”
“I don’t know what you mean. Of course he is a part of me too.”
“You want him then?”
“To stay , yes I said that already.”
No, you want him.
She hesitated “Yes but don’t tell him I said that”

I'm still trying to get my head around the permutations of 'stay', 'go back'' and come back' to understand where these two people are in relation to 'him'. But straight away, I'm intrigued. My first impulse is to say it's something to do with T'Pol wanting Trip to come back from Columbia but based on past experience I'm sure that must be a trap you're setting for me, and I'm not going to fall for it. Not this time, no sirree.
