Bellerophon... Sounds like... An inventor... I don't know, I admit ...

Bellerophon dude was a greek "hero" who killed the Chimera and fell off his pegasus after zeus sicked a fly on him and it bit the pegasus onna ass, he died a lonely crippled old codger ... Great name for a ship!!!!

ok here's an old school question, we all know and love the Defiant but in TOS what happened to it's namesake?

It fell into the interphase rift near the Fed-Tholian border (more on the Tholian side of it). It was lost there, even the valiant efforts of Kirk couldn't save it (and if he couldn't, who could?)

A question now, eh?
Here's an easy one, what Galaxy class starship was destroyed by the Dominion in the Gamma Quadrant on a rescue mission, beginning the conflicts between the Dominion and Federation?

Yeah, easy.

The U.S.S. Odyssey, under the command of Captain Keogh, after a suicidal ramming attack by a Jem'Hadar fighter.

What was the first thing that went horribly wrong in that engagement - that showed a serious technological inferiority that the Federation was pretty much unable to deal with (and did it have anything to do with the final outcome of this battle?)

I guess there are many things that went wrong, but extra points to the person who reads my mind (hint: Weyoun is surprised when the Feds finally do solve the problem)

well done OmniQ ... u mean the phased poleron beam weapons the dominion used? went through shields like they wasnt even there

Or the fact that Dominion shields are stronger than the Feds, or that the Dominion can transport through Fed shields (I think the could for awhile).

Huh, huh, huh?

I also think it was the transporters...

Well, since probably one of those answers is right, I'll keep the game a-going.

What was the name of Tasha Yar's half Romulan daughter concieved from an alt timeline?

(when you think abotu it, that question sounds pretty funny)

Sela. Subcommander Sela as I recall.

We're Trek fans. Funny is part of the job

Weasly and his dumb brats at Star Fleet Academy were partialy responsible for the death of one of their fellow students because they attempted to perform a dangerous manuevar known as... (I love the name of it)

Sela, the ultimate solution to the Romulan-Federation debate.
What admiral led the fleet defense of Earth in ST:FC?

damn, you beat me to it

Hayes
I know too much about Star Trek...

and yes, I did

This episode was on yesterday, and I decided not to watch it because it was a Wesley episode. Damnit!

As you might have anticipated you didn't miss much
Except one little thing... A manuevar known as...

What is the Kolvoord Starburst, Alex?

How many brothers and sisters does Morn have and constantly speak of?

Seven?

(Just a guess, but it sounds right in my mind.)

17 brothers and sisters, ya know Morn was based on Norm from Cheers

what two episodes do you see data wear the red uniform? god i feel like an evil sod tonight.

In "Future Imperfect" (TNG), Data is Riker's first officer on the Enterprise, and the other one I think is "Chain of Command" (TNG), after Riker is demoted by the Admiral.

What were TWO of the 'alternate' commbadge designs seen in TNG? (Future Imperfect, All Good Things, Parallels, etc.) - The Voyager commbadge doesn't count...

Submit your answers in essay form, 500 words or less to the nice Romulan....

well if i remember correctly one has 4 bars behind the arrowhead going across, and another has two huge bars that are virtical behind the arrowhead kinda like II but way thick.. oh plus the arrowhead was hollow .... wish i had a picture

Trekkie communicator ready to go

The gadget clips to a lapel
If you have ever wanted to emulate Star Trek and talk to colleagues via a lapel communicator, then now is your chance.

US firm Vocera has created a wireless voice communicator just like they use in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Similar to the TV series, all you do to contact someone is press the talk button on the lapel badge, say their name, and you will be put through.

The gadget is proving popular in hospitals to make it easier for nurses to find and get advice from doctors.

Talk time

The Vocera communications system channels voice calls via a wi-fi network to recognise who someone is trying to reach and then to connect them.

Servers do the job of decoding speech to recognise names, find out if the person is available and then a portion of the wireless network is reserved so the people can speak to each other.

The gadget is popular in hospitals
"It's pretty futuristic," said Keerti Melkote, co-founder of Aruba Networks that is a partner of Vocera.

"It's very neat, smaller than a cell phone and very lightweight," he told BBC News Online.

Although the voice recognition system needs a bit of training to match names with the way people pronounce them, the system can be working well within a few days, said Mr Melkote.

Early customers for the Vocera communicator were hospitals who like the fact that it lets nurses talk directly to doctors.

"We're focussing on healthcare to help provide bedside patient care and replace pager type calls," he said.

He said pagers can just lead to people leaving endless numbers of messages for each other but never actually speaking.

Mr Melkote said the communicator was ideal for workplaces where staff move around a lot, are spread around large campuses or across several buildings.

The battery-powered gadget can either be clipped to a lapel or worn on a lanyard around the neck.

I believe you are correct, Miche1ang1o! That was todays Daily Double , So you get 500 bazillion points... Ask the next question...

That is amazing about modern "communicators"! It is very cool to see some technologies you imagine appear within our lifetimes, even if it is but the first small step to a true communicator pin...

What happens when Torres puts the coyote stone at the crossroads of the 5th and 6th realms on Chakotays medicine wheel?? :twisted:

:insert emoticon of looking like Spock just before he says "Fascinating":

Haven't got a clue about the medicine wheel bit, but did you know those Vocera things are actually the second step towards Trek-style communicators?

The inventor of the mobile phone was inspired by the communicators of TOS trek. If Trek didn't exist, neither would mobile phones! 8O

Well, ladies, gentilmen and transgendered species the proof is here


...

ya wanna see my phone lol, its a V3 RAZR and when you turn it upside down it looks amazingly like a tricorder

i even have the mp3 of a tricorder scanning sound on it too .... flip it upside down play the mp3 and see how many people in a full pub are trekkies, .... ok obviously that question was too vague so the answer is It diverts Chakotay’s soul to the Mountains of the Antelope Women... ok a replacement question, what is the klingon translation for “Today was a good day to die.�?

Well, if anyone knows that, they are secret Klingon operatives on Earth

u'meH QaQ jajvam, thank you Mr. Google

What is the highest position the EMH of Voyager ever held (all timelines and that stuff)
