[123] As Stephen Maturin once said, "I have never yet known a man admit that he was either rich or asleep: perhaps the poor man and the wakeful man have some great moral advantage."

[238] No Spockian ambiguity exists over the UF casting of Captain Kirk; this is the young William Shatner, none other.

[245] Raoul Duke, visiting the Enterprise in tbe course of one of his previous encounters with Spock. "Boy! Inform the captain that I'm aboard and be quick about it!"

[321] Evidence that Spock and Duke have known each other for quite some time.

[373] In my mental images of this scene, no matter what I did to try and encourage her to stay impassive, Saavik resembled no one so much as an old friend of mine who has the best "oh, give me a friggin' break" face I've ever known, so eventually I just went with it.

[378] Fortunately, the Surprise's gauges are calibrated in local units and Hunter's read the manual, so he doesn't have to sit there wondering, "What the fark is a megalight?"

[462] Saavik is accustomed to having this kind of conversation with Gryphon. He once disserted to her for several minutes about how much he missed doorknobs while she worked on a term paper at the Academy and paid him only token attention, which was all he was expecting anyway.

[530] PALCON is an abbreviation of "palace contact" - GENOM's mole within Her Majesty's court. More on this later.

[647] Ard claims credit for this line, in that I wrote it, but she says it's evidence of speech-pattern corruption she and Chad have induced. :)

[680] Now we probably know what movie they watched on the way to Salusia.

[728] Galactipedia does say Scott played a key role in Gryphon's exoneration, and Galactipedia is never wrong.

[802] This line, however, is all Ardie.

[882] See also: that whaleboat scene in Star Trek IV.

[942] Actual tri-ox, not something that would make him fall down and feign death five minutes later. That would've been inconvenient.

[1013] Ard got this credit for suggesting that Jamie's name for level 10 be "no, seriously, disintegrate" rather than my inferior original notion.
