I thought that might be the case, because most of it sounded quite familiar. I only read Scorpio Attack once, though.

Well, given some bits I *didn't* type up, by the time the camera script for Rescue was ready, they knew enough of the plot of Headhunter to ask that space be left aside on the Scorpio deck for the cryogenic suspension capsule. I don't really know what the overall order of preparation was.

Chris Boucher does. :) I do when I'm careful, but "'s" is a typing habit that's hard to break.

Hm, if you work 4:30 to 11, wouldn't you analogize to "9 to 5" and be 6 or 8 hours *behind* the UK instead? Which puts you somewhere between the US midwest and west coast. ;-) In other words, right where my not-getting-to-sleep-on-time sleep cycle is, on the east coast.
