"Dear Homies"

I wake up this morning and come on the forums for a bit. I go into the Nintendo forum, read a short rap by Edgy about Luigi and then make my way out.

Come back round about now and what do I see? This place has been filled with Gangsta Rapper's.

Reminds me of when there was a song ever so often ages ago and they use to win GAD alot, but I don't think they will work this time.

So erm, what up homies?

What going on in this mudda ******* joint yo?

I am no phony!

You are the phoney!

Phoney woney joney boney shmoney!

:D

I knew that! I was just waiting to see if tom would add any more.

He's obviously not a real fan. YOU'RE A PHONY! Hey guys, this guy's a PHONY!

You're partly right (copying the info off a site by the looks of things) but there's more to the answer...

Well done for the research as I know from it neither of you know that Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Captain Benjamin Sisko and Captain Kathryn Janeway also encountered the furies throughout the four book collection :)

I agree.

"Invasion!" is the story of a group of alien races called the Furies. Five millennia ago, they were vanquished by a conqueror ("the Unclean") and banished to the other end of the galaxy. Now they are back, and they want their corner of galaxy -- never mind that we are currently living there. Aside from sheer numbers, they have a remarkable weapon at their disposal. The Furies are able to project fear and horror at us at will, reducing even Starfleet officers to cowing simps.

The TOS novel, FIRST STRIKE (Diane Carey) introduces us to the Furies and their situation. Carey does a great job of establishing (and carefully revealing) their history. The Furies look like the various demons and devils that Federation races have in their ancient pasts. It turns out that those demons did exist, and the Furies were them. Carey takes the opportunity to muse about such things as the necessity of limbs and at least two eyes in order to become a space faring society -- explaining why practically everyone in the STAR TREK universe is a biped, about 6 feet fall. Hortas, smart as they are, have no industry.

Along with the Furies, Kirk must contend with Kellen, a Klingon General, who finds that Kirk is not living up to his own legend. When Kirk asks, "Recommendations, Mr. Spock?" Kellen snorts, "The great shipmaster asks for recommendations. The cavalier of Starfleet asks of his subordinates what to do." Earlier, Kellen had put it more succinctly: "I am disappointed in you, Kirk. You do not deserve to be Kirk." With a little action, a little philosophy, and a little fast thinking, FIRST STRIKE accurately captures the original television show experience.

Go on then Herc, if its so easy and if *you* are such a big fan, why dont *you* answer it?

*sniggers*

LOL! Good one Edgy. That'll stump him. (Although it is, infact, easy)

Tom, here's a question for ya.

Who are the 'Furies' and which main Star Trek captain(s) encountered them?

Oh yes I am.

Prove me wrong.

Star trek is poo.
