"Now hear this. Now hear this. On this week's episode of Kirking Off things start off with a lovely listener comment from long-time listener, Ser Craig Deeley. He decided to give Brian some much-deserved love, and once the audible fellating concludes the lads dive back into Strange New Worlds after a brief foray into local baseball humor. The Enterprise crew heads to an abandoned Illyrian colony. This promotes a great discussion on the ethics of genetic manipulation, and many theories on why the Federation my frown upon it, and the Illyrians. Attention moves to La'an Noonien-Singh, and her decision - or lack thereof - to change her surname to something innocuous. Would she really be bullied 263 years after Khan's transgressions during the Eugenic Wars? The Original Series taught us that most of the Enterprise crew under Kirk didn't even know who Khan was, so how would children at school? Other questions: would Lieutenant Ortegas just leave Ensign Lance to prowl the halls in his underwear? How exactly would a virus that travels on light photons be stopped on the brightest starship of all time? Did M'Benga do the right thing as it relates to his daughter, and does Una's connection to the Illyrians make her more interesting? We present to you, "Ghost of Illyria," from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds."
