Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In which hospital did the incident involving the elderly lady, the regenerating kidney, and McCoy's little pill occur?

Answer: Mercy Hospital

The fictitious Mercy Hospital was located in the Mission District of San Francisco. The patient was an elderly woman who was in for kidney dialysis. Dr McCoy muttered something about the Dark Ages and gave her a pill. A bit later on, they passed the same lady and a group of doctors, who were trying to figure out why she was growing a new kidney.

St. Swithins was the hospital in Richard Gordon's "Doctor" series of books. Royal Hope was the hospital where Martha Jones was when she met the Doctor. County General was featured in "E.R.".

2. What was Doctor McCoy doing in a 20th century hospital?

Answer: Rescuing Chekov

Chekov had suffered a head injury that caused tearing of the middle meningeal artery. By the time the others found him, he was in surgery, about to have holes drilled in his skull to relieve the pressure. Kirk and the rest of the team held the surgical team at phaser point while McCoy used 23rd century technology to repair the damage.

3. How did Chekov get his head injury?

Answer: He fell off a ledge.

Uhura had already beamed out but there wasn't enough time to pick up Chekov before the Marines turned up. He was questioned but managed to escape. Unfortunately, on the way out, he slipped and fell.

4. What were Uhura and Chekov doing on a 20th century, nuclear powered, aircraft carrier?

Answer: Collecting photons

They were aboard attempting to collect the photons that were emitted from the main reactor. Unfortunately, the power drain was detected from the bridge and security was dispatched. Because of their proximity to the reactor, only one person could beam out at a time. Uhura went first with the collector.

5. Which aircraft carrier did Uhura and Chekov visit when they were in 20th century San Francisco?

Answer: The USS Enterprise

They had to ask where the "nuclear wessels" were kept and finally found out that they had to go to Alameda. They were really surprised when they found out it was the Enterprise, especially given that was also the name of their original ship.

All four of those names were used for Constitution class star ships in the original TV series.

6. Why did Uhura and Chekov have to find a nuclear powered warship?

Answer: To re-crystallise the dilithium crystals

The dilithium crystals had been completely drained and were breaking down. Spock theorised that high energy particles from a fission reactor could be used to reconstruct them.

7. What broke the dilithium crystals in the ship that Kirk's crew were using, in "The Voyage Home"?

Answer: Undergoing a slingshot manoeuvre around the sun at Warp 9

They performed this slingshot manoeuvre in order to return to the latter half of the 20th century. The resulting strain on the engines caused the dilithium crystals to decay.

8. In which ship did Kirk's crew perform the slingshot maneuver?

Answer: A Klingon Bird of Prey warship, renamed the HMS Bounty

"The Voyage Home" took place just after the events in the "Search for Spock", during which the Enterprise was destroyed. The crew managed to escape the Genesis Planet in a Klingon ship and ended up on Vulcan. They were on the way back to Earth to face charges for the theft of the Enterprise in the earlier movie.

Kirk was given the command of the new Enterprise 1701-A at the end of the movie as well as being demoted to Captain.

9. Why, in the movie "The Voyage Home", did the former crew of the Enterprise go back in time?

Answer: They needed to retrieve some whales.

They had to go back in time to get some Humpback whales, since they were extinct in the 23rd century. A space probe was trying to communicate with the local cetacean life but, when it got no response, it started to adversely affect the weather, resulting in havoc all over the globe.

Answer: A pair of glasses

When Kirk did this Spock reminded him that they were a present from McCoy. Kirk's answer was, "And they will be again. That's the beauty of it".
