I mean... narrowing something down from the whole universe to JUST one galaxy is a pretty large thing. Relatively speaking ;)


Comments from the Tagboard:

BrickVoid: I'm glad they were able to narrow it down to their own galaxy. Galaxies come in sizes ranging from 3,000 light-years to approximately 16 million light-years. :)

Transcript
Panel 1:
Commander Dale Zurkett: Maybe it's a holodeck malfunction? Like a simulation has escaped and is percolating through the ship?
Zack Del Rio: No, we checked that. No luck.
    I mean... the rogue code IS in the holodeck systems. But it definitely didn't originate there.

Panel 2:
Ensign Hylia: What we were starting to wonder is if it came from outside the ship.
Lieutenant Commander Natashia Starrat: Outside? What origination point? And how would it get through our firewalls?
Zack: That's the million dollar question.

Panel 3:
Commodore Jeffrey Bannister: So just... somewhere in the universe. That's all you have?
Hylia: No! It definitely... probably... didn't come from outside our galaxy.
Andre Peters: Oh, well then. Piece of cake.

Panel 4:
Unknown transmission: Ha-ha-ha--ha-ha-ha!

Panel 5:
Natashia: Anyway... about Hulyard and that list of charges. I'm concerned about our legal standing.
Zack: What? That was a bunch of nonsense, wasn't it? I mean... except the part about me. *cough*
Dale: I'm not sure it really matters. They can spin what we did any way they want with the right judge and lawyers.
    I've seen it happen before.
Jeff: I agree with Dale. Our best chance is to make all this as public as possible.
    That.... and find out what Talbot and that Supreme Advisor REALLY know. If the corruption goes high enough up the chain...
    We're just lucky they got off the ship before she got to them.
Dale: Hulyard was definitely operating under orders to blow up that shuttle. The question is WHO gave those orders. I have some thoughts... but no proof.
    What blows me away is that we're actually trusting Vedrix, a Romulan, more than our own government right now.
    And I only WISH that was a joke.
