Talos IV?? I hope you've talked with Paramount Pictures about using
one of their planets... That one was first visited by Captain
Christopher Pike of the USS Enterprise. He found a race of
mind-controlling creatures there. You people should check out your
planets before referring to them...

(A message mostly in jest - we'll see how Paramount really reacts :-)
