You tried to destroy it once before, Commodore.
The result was a wrecked ship and a dead crew.

Half the news reports on TV tonight will credit him as being the actor who famously portrayed "Dr. Spock" on Star Trek.

This is some lovely news today. Between Trek and Civ IV and all, the man's been a presence of some sort through my whole life. I know that might sound doofy and I never met him and but I really have had the wind taken out of my by this.
