Game Name That Star Trek CHARACTER

Khan

1. I really didn't seem to like attention before, but now I grow bolder.
2. So I used *two* varieties of the same type of tool.
 
Captain Christopher?

1) He gets cockier and more outspoken as the episode goes on.
2) Does he use both types of phaser? He holds a transporter guy and later Kirk at gunpoint.

3. Wait, calling out a few places really close to one another doesn't seem to support the premise.

4. In line with #1, perhaps I should not have focused on one of the 430.

5. I am not deterred by certain countermeasures.
 
Could be Nomad?
1. At first on board, he's willing to be shown around and put in a room, but later, he's off exploring the ship on his own curiosity.
2. His antenna can just zap you dead, or disintegrate you.
3. ?
4. He thinks Kirk is his creator.
5. Security cell force field was easily defeated.
 
Hengist
-gets bolder as he is questioned
-knives
-after reading off planets in a line from Argelius and Earth
KIRK: You come from Rigel Four.
HENGIST: Well, many people do. It's not a crime.
-not a enterprise crew member
-gets KO'ed dead body then awakes again, then jumps into computer

Correct, ItsGreen! Good job! The answer is Redjac or of course Hengist.

1. You explained a good take on it, plus also he/it just gets bolder as the episode goes on, not only killing Kara and blaming a Starfleet officer for it, but then killing another Starfleet officer and the wife of the chief official of the planet he's holed up on.

2. Uses a different knife to kill Sybo than the first knife, apparently, although the later dialogue in the briefing room doesn't acknowledge this.

3. It's not really surprising that Earth, Mars, and Achernar (Alpha Eridani) are "aligned directly between Argelius and Earth," especially as far as Earth and Mars go. Achernar is about 140 LY away from Earth, so unless Spock is looking at the additional examples that the computer notes but doesn't cite, we can't really be sure how much the fact that Achernar is aligned directly between Earth and Argelius proves. (Mars proves even less, and Earth is, well, Earth.) But who cares? To me, just about every line in the briefing room scene is gold.

4. As I said, maybe he/it shouldn't have killed Lt. Tracy. Of course, he was already framing Scotty, and he might have been worried what she - and Sybo - would have discovered.

5. The sealing of the room at Jaris's house - nice idea by Kirk the tactician - doesn't seem to deter ol' Redjac. But it does help Kirk and Spock unravel the mystery.

Nice job, ItsGreen! You have the conn. :beer:
 
Ah ha! I thought of Redjac after Clue 3 with the list of planets (not many episodes describe lists), but I thought there was only one knife in the episode, so I didnt guess!

Clue 3 also made me think of Redjac/Hengist. because the episode is so illogical.

COMPUTER: Working. 1932. Shanghai, China, Earth. Seven women knifed to death. 1974, Kiev, USSR, Earth. Five women knifed to death. 2105. Martian colonies. Eight women knifed to death. 2156. Heliopolis, Alpha Eridani Two. Ten women knifed to death. There are additional examples.
SPOCK: Captain, those places are aligned directly between Argelius and Earth.
KIRK: Yes. When man moved out into the galaxy, that thing must've moved with him. Computer, identify the proper names Kesla and Beratis.
COMPUTER: Working. Kesla. Name given to unidentified mass murderer of women on planet Deneb Two. Beratis. Name given to unidentified mass murderer of women on planet Rigel Four. Additional data. Murders on Rigel Four occurred one solar year ago.

As the Earth and Mars orbit the Sun separately, the line between Earth and Mars sweeps around in a circle in the plane of the ecliptic. So that line sometimes points to stars in each of the twelve zodiac constellations plus one more. Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Ophiuchus, Sagittairus, Capricornus, and Aquarius.

Alpha Eridani (Achernar) is also said to be a line from Earth to Argelius. As the Sun, Alpha Eridani, and Argelius orbit the center of the galaxy separate, the line between Earth and Alpha Eridani will also gradually move and will eventually not point anywhere near Argelius, but on much longer time scale.

Of course murders happening on Earth, then on Mars, then on Alpha Eridani, does show a pattern of the thing moving out into the galaxy with man.

But as far as I can tell only Alpha Eridani, of the places mentioned before Spock speaks, could possibly be lined up with Argelius. And Deneb Two and Rigel Four are mentioned, those planets would not be line up with Alpha Eridani or with each other to point toward Argeliua. If Spock knew about those mass murders on those planets he would have thought that the entity was zig zagging across explored space. Obviously what the writers and creators needed to do was to find several stars that were nearly lined up as seen from Earth, find out how distant each one was, and then mention them in order of increasing distance from Earth.

For example, in the constellation Taurus, Aldebaran, the Hyades Star Cluster, and the Pleiades Star Cluster are almost lined up as seen from Earth. Aldebaran is about 65 light years from Earth, Delta Tauri is in the Hyades beyond Aldebaran and the bright stars in the Pleiades such as Alcyone are even farther.

Deneb is much farther from Earth than Rigel, so, as interstellar became easier, Redjac broke his outward path and started to roam the cosmos.
