Back At Ground Control-
Dec. 5th, 2006 11:01 pmThere was, as has been noted, somewhat limited passenger space on the Enterprise. Something of an argument most likely ensued over who got to go and who didn't. Eventually, two things were pointed out:
- that Kirk, for all that he was from the future, was used to dealing with lower tech than Romana; and
- that Hellboy was more intimately familiar with the supernatural.
It was then pointed out that Mission Control had, after all, lost all contact with the Station not long after Major Hogarth's untimely demise. And that they had quite a lot of data from events leading up to the ghastly incident, and... well, since much of the technology was planetside...
Well, in the time it takes for the Enterprise to get within striking distance of orbit, it's also possible to get one young Time Lord a hefty security clearance and a free trip to Houston for an intimate tour of the Mission Control Center. So there we are.
