	But don't scientists (e.g. geologists, science officers) wear blue
and not red? In 'Is There in Truth No Beauty (?) didn't Geologist D'Amato
wear red, though? Is this a mistake or did the writers want to hit us over the
head that redshirts are destined to die? :-)

Oops.. sorry. I meant 'That Which Survives', not ITiTNB.

Geologist D'Amato in 'That Which Survives" was indeed wearing a blue shirt,
as befits a science specialist -- even one of the Dispensible squad.
