At the recent Comic-con in Anaheim, Nichelle Nichols talked about the first meeting with her Star Trek XI Counterpart Zoe Saldana. On the set of J.J. Abrams's "Star Trek", Saldana was not scheduled for the day when Nichelle was invited to visit, so J.J. called Zoe back for the chance meeting.

A large amount of Star Trek memorabilia will be hitting the auction block this June in Vegas and It's all going to charity.  Included in the auction are items from the blockbuster Star Trek XI such as romulan weopons, cadet unifroms & badges, as well as Spock Prime's cold weather gear worn by Leonard Nimoy on Delta Vega.

It appears that the next gen communicator prototype was indeed lost at the bar on K7.  A Starfleet communications engineer named Ensign Freeman was there to enjoy some much needed shore leave when a huge brawl broke out between federation officers and Klingon soldiers.  He unfortunately lost the communicator in the scuffle and has been looking for it's return ever since.

Here's a shot from station security of Ensign Freeman during the fight.  We received this image from an unnamed source aboard K7.

Is this the next version of Starfleet's much anticipated and loved communicator? We think it is.  It was apparently lost in a bar on Deep Space Station K7 sometime around Stardate 4523.3 and we got our hands on it.  We don't have tons of details, but here's what we do know.

William Shatner has been nominated to be the 28th Governor General of Canada. Not only is he an intergalactic hero but The Shat hails from the great white north and would be a perfect candidate for the mostly ceremonial title. He also appears to be leading in the polls, beating out Wayne Gretzky and a full list of other famous Canadians.  Heck, you can even place your vote for the next Governor General here.

We CAN'T wait for August, we're as excited as a bunch of tribbles in a silo full of quadrotricale.  Oh, and just so you know, we declared several weeks back that it shall be known as Vegas Khan hence forth.  Any other reference will be met with klingon pain sticks and cardassian inquistors demanding answers concerning the correct amount of light fixtures in the room.  Until then, we are thinking of who we would love to see at the show.
