     But then, the "bad" blankets might make Sulu and company colder *faster*,
and they may not be able to distinguish between the two types except by
testing...

     As to why no shuttle craft was sent, my theories.

	0.  Mr. Sulu had the shuttle craft keys.
	1.  The battery was dead and they left the jumper cables were left
	    back at the Star-base.

     I think the idea about shuttle craft not being part of the series yet is
the plausable.
