What we need to do first is make sure that the planet we are investigating belongs to the Federation. Then we can proceed.

If we find ourselves looking at a planet inhabited by/controlled by the Reptilian Empire, we will find ourselves in deep, deep doo-doo.

CA....

I wonder if it’s that reverse planet where you come out of the grave and grow younger until you go back into your Momma.
