Lt. Uhura was offered command? Whoa.
Hey Badge, sorry I couldn’t join you on this frak tonite. Busy with this and that.
Hope you’re enjoying it.
It’s a fun one.
It would be more fun without the crippling sense of abandonment, of course. 
I bet he helped you pass alien biology.
:eek: Those aren’t tribbles! :eek:
Hey! It’s Tasha!
From Memory Alpha:
The reference to Regulan bloodworms by “Trouble with Tribbles” writer David Gerrold was never followed by an explanation of what they did to get the name “bloodworm”, and it was never revealed which of the planets orbiting Regulus the worms originate from; according to the schoolroom display, however, the homeplanet of the bloodworm is Regulus II.
Gerrold pitched a script (“Blood and Fire”) for Star Trek: The Next Generation involving infections of bloodworms carried by helpless victims. The story used bloodworm infection as a metaphor for the 1980s AIDS crisis, describing the same kinds of mistreatment and persecution of carriers.
“Blood and Fire” was a controversial episode written by David Gerrold which involved allegedly gay characters and an allegory on AIDS. The rejection of this episode is what ultimately led to Gerrold leaving TNG.
Gerrold later adapted and directed the script for the fan series Star Trek: Phase II. The episode also featured Denise Crosby.
Interesting.
Dangit. Got held up. This is an interesting one.
As you know, I have the specs and diagrams at home for EVERYTHING!! :eek:
