This aspect of the reper- cussions of Star Trek III have already been covered in DC's Star Trek comic. You may not like it, but it all stories are approved by Gene R. and Paramount. DC cannot print any story that does not fit into the official Star Trek uni- verse. By the way, you should read the Star Trek Annual #1 and see what a jerk Kirk can really be! Star-Lord They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Naturally they became heroes.

You know: no superhuman race, no suspended animation, no Seti Alpha 5, no Genesis Machine but mostly *NO DESTRUCTION OF THE ENTERPRISE!!* I wondered how they were going to get it back! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I enjoy working with human beings, and John M.

God, I hope not! That also means no Eugenics War and the potential for serious damage to the fabric of history. Much simpler is to go back a few weeks (days?) and stop Kahn from getting off Ceti Alpha 5. The only problem with this scenario is that the key person is Chekov. Basically, he would have to relive the events of the first part of TWOK, this time stopping Terrell from talking Carol Marcus into letting them consider the planet. That still does not resolve one other problem- keeping the Enterprise from being scrapped by Star Fleet. It seems unlikely that that was a spur-of-the-moment decision; rather, it was probably being discussed behind closed doors for some time. Personally, I doubt they will monkey with history that way and that the Enterprise we knew and loved is gone and should be let to rest in peace.

Clearly, STIV must not go back in time to alter events. If they did, and
were succesfull, you could never believe any of the stories again. Imagine:
The new enterprise and the Klingons go into fierce battle. The Enterprise
is (gasp!) DESTROYED. BUT WAIT- Here goes Admiral Kirk back in time. No
problem - if at first you dont succeed, hit the old restart button by going
back in time and try again. No, the writers would be doing themselves a
great injustice if they took the easy way out. Now - if they discovered that
Kahn had gone back in time because of some control he found on
Alpha Ceti 6 and reworked things, they could perhaps (perhaps?) justify
the cheap way out. Either way, should be interesting.

But here's another possibility: go back in time with the Klingon scout ship, after Khan and his people have gone into suspended animation. Blow the Botany Bay out of space ("We are Klingons!") and go forward in time. Then (1) Enterprise would never have encountered Botany Bay, so that none of the havoc caused by Khan and crew would have happened, (2) this would restore Lt. McGivers to the Enterprise crew [who cares?], and (3) Reliant never would have found Khan and survivors on Ceti Alpha V. Of course, that probably means that the Federation would have tested Genesis in a controlled environment (that planet), no one would die testing it, and they would then discard Genesis when the experiment proves it has some major flaws. Basically, none of the events from ST2 and ST3 would have happened. > That still does not resolve one other problem- keeping the Enterprise from > being scrapped by Star Fleet.
