Someone predicted that the new Excelsior-class starships would be delivered
a few years late and billions of credits over budget.
NO--they'll be ready on time and at the agreed price.  However, during the
shakedonw cruise in ST-IV, Deckswabber 3rd Class JT Kirk and his friends will
hit a wormhole ten times worse than the one in ST:TMP.  Why?
	Well, it seems some defense contractor used Proto-Anti-Matter in
the left engine pylon.  Being Japanese, he will shove a Klingon three-bladed
knife into his belly when the news hits the fan.   :-) mike k
