One thing that struck me as an inconsistancy, was when the self destruct sequence was going, and then the Enterprise blew up, was why didn't the anti-matter explosion take out the planet and the whole sector? After all, the anti-matter is held in a magnetic bottle, and when the enterprise blows up, that bottle would collapse, resulting with a matter-anti-matter mix that should have been much much more destructive. Am I missing something or what? Milo

<odedoh> Easy. The self-destruct is a *controlled* self destruct. Therefore many things are possible. One possibility would be to jettison the anti- matter in a magnetic container. Aloke "this really belongs in net.startrek" Prabhakar ...ucbvax!prabhaka prabhaka@ucbarpa.ARPA
