Random cultural question.  You mention that the essay can be handed in on tape and that the formatting should be exact--what kind of tape do you imagine this being?  Is this audio tape?  Or has technology somehow slipped back to magnetic tape?  (If it IS audio tape, I'm curious, what's going on with literacy in the Federation??)

I see what you mean now, when you pointed it out in the Round Robin, that Berat and Barrett were likely to get along!  Barrett DOES read to me now kinda like an older (and human) version of Berat...I can easily see him talking to his students the same way: mysterious, perhaps, to get their minds going, but ultimately caring.

And of course very sad to see what's happened to Corry's dad. :-(

Author's Response: I meant the data tapes they used in TOS. LOL! Which people complain about, but chances are, they're extremely large storage devices in small packages. But mostly it was a nod back to TOS, where they had the data tapes. It's not an audio tape. And yes, I do think Berat and Barrett would get along quite well. XD
