Subject: DELPHI : prepost and reposts
Organization: Mississippi State University
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1992 05:32:18 GMT


	Hello everyone. I apologize for the exceptionally long
delay in posting DELPHI : chapter 5, but this has been a very
hectic semester. Chapters 6-7 (and possibly 8) should be 
out within a few weeks as well though.
	For those of you who don't know about the DELPHI, it is 
basically my attempt to write about stuff in the ST:TNG universe.
It doesn't deal with the Enterprise or her crew, but with a ship
and crew of my design. It does have tie ins with the rest of the 
universe however.

	Also, I would like to greatly thank Larry Nagy 
(better known as the author of the VIGILANTE story) for his
excellent crossover work, as is and will be seen in the DELPHI
pages as well as his VIGILANTE story (which I reccommend).

	Now, without further adeiu, here are the first 5 chapters
of DELPHI.

	Feel free to mail any comments / suggestions / questions.
	Let me know how I'm doing. I started this more as an excercise
        to see if I could write something and not complain about it, and
        it has evolved from there ....

	Thanks,
		Sujay S.

From what I heard, it was as described above with the season number, 
and then the rest of the date was the time of shooting from the start of 
the season.  I do believe Mrs. Roddenberry (excuse my spelling as I am
doped up on No-doz do to finals) said this at the Creation's convention
in Green Bay, WI.  This is only from memory so keep the flames down to a
mininuim please.  Also, this is my second post to any news group.

This doesn't really belong here, but...

The first number is indeed 4 for the twenty-FOURTH century.  The second
number is the number of the current season of TNG (6).  The remaining
numbers are made up, and progress throughout the season.

Subject: More Wars

In responding to "alt.lwaxana.die.die.die" I argued that Lwaxana was the
most interesting character on the show, which got me to thinking about how
boring the rest of "The Next Generation" has turned out.  Granted that
space wars scenes are probably very (too) expensive to produce week after
week, but the most interesting show from last season was the alternate-time-
line episode because we got to see that great "dogfight" between the
Enterprise and the Klingons.

The producers of the show, just like the original "Star Trek" team, want
to use the science fiction situation to explore the human condition without
the distractions of the real world confusing things and taxing their
writers.  Unfortunately, the characters on the show are very thin and
the actors are directed in a way that makes the characterizations wooden.
One only realizes how boring the show is when a huge character like Lwaxana
comes on and stirs things up, or when there's a good space-fight and lots
of weapons firings.

So, the producers need to make a decision:  either better acting and writing
or more action.  Frankly, if I want good acting and writing I'll watch
"I'll Fly Away".  What I watch "Star Trek" for is action!  Fire those
phasers, blast away with the photon torpedoes!  Yay Enterprise!  Boo
Romulans!  Go Go Go!

How do you have a relationship with a body? You can have sex with a body.
But you need to have a relationship is with a personality, a person or
an animal or a car (that has a personality :-)

With the body you have, that'll be easy :-)

rachel|No, I wimp out partly due to the pain involved and partly

The old way of removing them involved a lot of pain, and acid (if I
recall correctly). Nowadays, a plastic surgeon or dermatologist will
usually remove the tattoo with a laser technique. I know of at least
one who does this in Santa Monica.

rachel|Not the sort of thing I want to rush into without thinking though.

No you dont. Since you've expressed your desire, you have a latent
need to immediately rush out and get a four leaf clover tattooed on
your left back cheek, as well as the number of a good Thai restaurant
