Where's Amos when you need him?

Whatever they said, Warp 9.975 is NOT the maximum sustainable speed of an Intrepid-class starship. It's the maximum possible speed... for a few hour at best, before the warp core needs to be powered down to prevent everything from melting.

It's not a stretch to assume that the initial 75-year estimate was based on average sustainable speed and taking into account time needed to stop, refuel, maintain, repair, etc. Over that long a time, it wouldn't be enough to just pour more deuterium into it. Most of the warp engine would have to be rebuilt or replaced.

Also, the computer was struggling to figure out exactly where they were, so it might have been off by a few years at first. When Seven built astrometrics, they immediately updated their ETA.

Calling the stage units prototypes is being nice. The reality was that at that point the iPhone had barely gotten to a proof of concept stage. Months before this event, the developers were still using a giant desktop tower to simulate the phone's hardware.

That the photos of the phone were real and not concept art, that the stage units weren't just unusable rubber dummies was a magic trick itself.

When the developers revealed years later that the iPhone presentation (just the presentation, not even the actual launch) was a make or break moment for the company, they absolutely were not kidding.

And then they went from "should not even be working" test units to fully functional production units in six months!

Whatever your opinion of Jobs or Apple, credit where credit is due.

Kirk's Bane

Welp, the Yahoo! link is dead now.

Based on what you copied, I guess he communicated in some way with the police but it doesn't say what the police did in response.

Like I said, it feels so intentionally vague. For whatever reason, they don't want this case or the fate of the man to be reported on for now.

I still don't think he was trying to make kids take drugs or hurt anyone like the two in OP's report.

Yeah, since it's a hologram (?) and not really the actual character.

Is it still Kate Mulgrew doing the voice or someone else?

Better to just do it with two Janeways; Genevieve Bujold & Kate Mulgrew.
