	AH, but the androids were *not* "short-circuited",
their logic facilities were locked(something like a deadlock
in a current OS). Then Kirk & co. *reprogrammed* the master
android using those fancy labs that McCoy and Scotty had been
drooling about.  The reprogrammed, properly subservient, androids
then beamed the crew back up. Simple!!
