Jim Wilson =================================================== A number of years ago I served as navigator on a class II star cruiser in the Delta Quadrant. To keep the piano secured to the bulkhead in the captain's lounge we used an anti-grav harness which drew it's power directly from the warp field generators. Even when encountering a level 5 ion storm the piano stood fast. I'll admit there were a few times when we went through some intense subspace interference on the outskirts of the Talagious-3 system, but the piano barely moved more then a few microns. I would highly recommend using a portable gravitational flux field inducer, it's the only way to reliably secure a piano on a ship. I have no idea why this is funny, it must have something to do with the fact that it's after 1:00 am and ST-Voyager just ended. Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV
