This is lunacy! Spock is hardly James Bond who would do ANYTHING in the line of duty. 2) This is never mentioned in the James Blish 'episodic' translation. 3) If you really think it is so, ask Joanne Linville (any relation to Larry Linville - Frank Burns) who played the Commander. Spock : "Was it Logical for you, too?" 4) Saavik goes 'by the book', but that page was probably missing in her copy. 5) The idea of the prefix code method of remote ship control came from the uux - unix to unix command execution method of running a job on a remote machine. Hardly original. B.C.Mather ...!uiucdcs!uicsl!mather
