   One of the starships from the series gets a brief mention here. Either   
   the Potemkin or the Yorktown (I think it was the Potemkin) carries the   
   drug to the freighter.  I'd be interested to know why the Huron was   
   named that.  You remember, David Gerrold named Sherman's Planet after   
   his girlfriend, so I'd like to think there's a similar story here.   
   There's a Huron, CA and there have been a couple of ships named Huron,   
   but none particularly famous.   
      
   At one point, I remember McCoy describing the symptoms of the disease   
   as something like "increasing tiredness and decreasing efficiency".  I   
   remember it because it cried out for Kirk to say "So you mean as he   
   gets sicker, he'll seem less like Spock, and more like Chekov."   
   "Right Jim, by the 3rd day, he'll have picked up a Russian accent."
