Write your reply.

DSN is not on the FOX network.  It may be on your local FOX affiliate
through a syndication agreement that has no relationship to the
station's contract with FOX.
Generations, on the other hand, will be shown exclusively on FOX
affiliates.
Given that Paramount is so fanatical about its Star Trek franchise, one
would think it would want to reserve Generations for its UPN affiliates
-- unless they think Generations is "played out" and will not get very
good ratings.

...according to GameSpot's "Unofficial Cadet Training Manual"
(http://www.gamespot.com/features/starfleet2) the KM mission
is indeed part of the game. Not only that, but there subsequent
mission is entitled "Balance of Terror" which apparently involves
some cat-and-mouse hijinks with some Romulans and a Klingon...it's
been way too long since I've watched any TOS episodes so I
couldn't tell you if it relates to the ep or not.
