Whaaaaat?
There's a very nice novel by Christopher L. Bennett called "The Face of the Unknown" that you'd enjoy very much if you would like to learn more about Bailey, Balok, the Fesarious and the FF! Highly recommended.
Er, excuse moi. Going now to look. Close this thread if you really want. Thanks
Saw it. like it. Would like it better if the First federation was an alternate reality Federation that we know only in another dimension. That's free. Looking forward to the sequal. Damn, how do you spell sequal?

The face and "whaaaat" was just reacting to why you would think Bailey was a sadistic poisoning murderer, that's all....
It just seemed like a considerable leap.

I still say poor Bailey went mad from hearing Balok's obnoxious laugh at every little instance, day in and day out, week after week, month following month until they amounted to years. When Kirk finally returns to retrieve the former navigator, they find the Fesarius damaged almost beyond repair, more than half the domes cracked or outright shattered. When a rescue team beams aboard the vessel, they find Bailey crouched and trembling in a corner, giggling and drooling.
Bailey glares at the landing party with a manic grin. "We were wrong! It was a double bluff! It wasn't a puppet after all! That was the real Balok! The child-like alien? That was the fake. I mean, how could something that laughed like that at every least provocation be real? No, the genuine Balok sat there in silence, observing, scrutinizing, seeing if we would fall for the ruse. But I saw through the farce! I proved it by tearing the stuffing from that snaggle toothed doll. Funny, I expected foam rubber padding over a hydraulically driven armature, but Balok seems to have employed some sort of gel strand pneumatic construction with fluid dynamics. A bit volatile however as it began to slowly dissolve once the interior mechanisms were exposed to the atmosphere. Released quite a bit of noxious fumes as well..."

I hope that Balok hasn't seen the Twilight Zone episode 'To Serve Man' or Bailey might end up as a midnight snack.
Did we need this thread?
