*whispers around while looking at the green fiber-lax wrapper* :worried:
Should we tell him the green one wasn't a ration?

*Stands up and leaves*
I sure don't want to be in here when a months worth of fiber starts to make its way out. Peace all! I'm out! :takecover:

This just occured to me. I was watching Encounter at Farpoint last night when I realized something. Enterprise seperated its saucer and went back to face what turned out to be Q. After that encounder, they went to Farpoint Station in the Stardrive to rendevous with the Saucer. How the hell did the impluse only Saucer get all the way to Farpoint Station?

The TNG tech manual states that the Saucer section can cruise on the dissipating warp field for about two minutes, and if they were withen 0.007771927428218269 lightyears or so of Impulse range to the Farpoint station they could make it. For reference that about 73,528,651,012 miles(I think), plus whatever distance for when they came out of warp. It's been a while since I've seen the episode so someone else would have to figure out how much time passed between seperation and docking.

I think the bigger question is that when the stardrive was out of relative danger why didn't it pick the saucer up on the way to Farpoint?
