 Maybe it was warp 11 on old TOS warps and it's 9.76 on new TNG warps. Either

	Hello everyone! I apologize for the TREMENDOUS delay
in posting between chapters. This should improve (hopefully) over
the semester (and particularly after February is over).

	My next post will be DELPHI : Chapter 7   "Old Friends".
This is a continuation of the DELPHI-VIGILANTE crossover. Chapter
8 is in edit mode and should be out shortly as well. 

	Also, I need to take a few moments and make a couple of 
acknowledgements.. First to Larry Nagy (author of the VIGILANTE series)
who worked a *whole lot* on making the crossover work. Also,
many thanks to "J.F. Notman" for his work on "proofing" this chapter
the next chapter and many of the past chapters. Thanks guys!

	Again, sorry for the delays.. All comments are more than
welcome and DELPHI : Chapter 8 should be out shortly.

	Happy Reading!!

Check out FASA's FEDERATION sourcebook if you can find it.  It
may be based on the Role playing game, but it provides an
indepth history and organization of the Federation, including
the complete Articles Of Federation.  Briefly, there is a
legislature consisting of a rep from every member planet which
elects a governing council to act as an executive branch while
the general council is not in session.  The executive council
consists of the reps from the five original members (Earth,
Vulcan, Andor, Tellar, and Alpha Centauri) plus five other reps
from the rest of the assemblly.  The president is the president
of the executive council and has broad powers to act while the
assembly is not in session.

A Klingon kindergarten teacher?  Hmm, not a bad idea, but how about maybe a
Klingon nurse in sickbay (You will disrobe NOW, scrawny human!!).But I do
agree with the general idea though.  Maybe this new Klingon can be a love

According to the official "Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual",
ship counselors (most of which are Betazoid) are given the rank of Lt.
Commander.  I believe that this rank is honorary and somewhat permanent.  In
other words, I do not think that it would be possible for ship counselors to
promoted to higher ranks, such as commander or captain, under normal
circumstances.  The blue color of the uniform probably denotes a medical
position, although blue also stands for support personel.

Is the position of Ship's Counselor in any way analogous to Chaplain in
a XXth C. Navy?  Some of what she does seems similar, except she seems
to also exercise some diplomatic functions as well.

oh no not this debate again!!! :)

actually, she did take control of the big E on the episode "Disaster".
(granted, no higher ranking officer was on the bridge... :) She's a 
Lt.-Cmdr., no? But, not the same type of Lt.-Cmdr. that, say, worf is.
if she did wear a real uniform consistantly, it would be blue 
("Future Imperfect", "Chain of Command"). so she's really included in 
the medical department. i don't know if that constitutes non-military 
action, i just don't know enough about the rank and file system of 
military institutions. (this is not a disagreement. i don't know what it 
is. :)

i don't think any one will ever know the answer to this burning trek 
question!

     Yes, true, the idea _is_ to get your point across, but you forget that 
language doesn't just communicate ideas.  Language also serves to give people 
an idea of _who_ they are communicating _with_  So, those who are able to give 
well-written, grammatically correct opinions are regarded as being more correct
than those who are unable to.

     English professions _also_ include the writers and poets who are regarded,
by at least some on the planet, to have a lot to do with raising the quality of
life as a whole.  They also make good communicators, primarily because of my 
point above, and as such serve as teachers, diplomats, lawyers and politicians.
Regardless of how you feel personally about any of these groups, they _are_ 
generally regarded as needed for a modern society.
     And incidently, if a nuclear war breaks out, no matter what you major is, 
you're most likely going to end up a small pile of sludge.
