Hmmm. A little tricky. Possibly they did most of their traveling | cloaked (very energy expensive), or maybe there is a special code | that can be transmitted saying 'this is a captured ship - let me come | home!'. +--------------- Says the novelization: Uhura is already on Vulcan (thanks to the Vulcan embassy on Earth; this fuels my belief that Sarek, *not* Kirk, is the driving force behind The Search For Spock); why not a "queen to queen's level 1" code? Or, since (again from the novel) Saavik is in charge of communications on the requisitioned :-) Bird of Prey, perhaps Spock taught her a code that will instantly identify Vulcans (like the Vulcan language :-). Of course, this is even hairier if you accept the "The Final Reflection" events, as Harve Bennett apparently did; Vulcan is probably *quite* familiar with Klingon design. . . --bsa -- Brandon Allbery, Unix Consultant -- 6504 Chestnut Road, Independence, OH 44131 decvax!cwruecmp!ncoast!bsa; ncoast!bsa@case.csnet; +1 216 524 1416; 74106,1032 ========================> Trekkies have Warped minds. <=======================
