I'm glad you didn't give up on that post,
Thena! It would have been a shame to miss out on it. Thanks for your perseverance. I very much enjoyed it, especially as "Tribbles" is my favorite ST episode. You added 'Schuphilboerd', showing that the members of the Itship can be creative, not just destructive. I like the name of the island, the cute reference to Cirkdan's dalliance, and the 'chinchilla trumpet'.

(It plays in the same orchestra as the ermine violin, obviously...) And Merisu has aquired a hitherto unknown sister?!
Since those few opinions that were expressed on the matter of the ship's officers coincide nicely with my own,

I would ask that one of the next posters devise a quick and clever way to lose them.
