ooo I'm a little surprise that there are 93 engineering specialists and only 74 science technicians. Isn't the mission of the enterprise such as to require significant numbers of scientists?? and only 4 lead scienctists (I forget what they were labeled) ? Am I the only one who thinks this is strange? Ellen Bart

'Tappears that the entire crew of the starship is commissioned officers - minimum rank of ensign. Where are the enlistees? [Mayhaps ye need refreshing from "Mirror, Mirror": one of Chekov's conspirators who later saved Kirk's life said, "Chekov said he would make me a chief; I figured you [Kirk] could make me an officer." and a chief is NOT a commissioned officer!] -- The Ice Floe of Larry Bickford {ihnp4,allegra,ucbvax}!{amd70,decwrl,sun}!qubix!lab "When the English language gets in my way, I walk over it." - Billy Sunday
