Summary
(Montgomery Scott’s) Personal log, stardate 24:3:19. A 3-day liberty on SF Base 12-N brought a miraculous coincidence!

Scotty put on his dress uniform in anticipation of a rendezvous with old girlfriend Blanda Lane, who was a singer performing at Starbase 12 for starbase personnel. Scott charmed her, and Lane suggested that they take a drive into the desert. But when they got to her groundcar, Scott was overwhelmed by the new yellow hyperdrive sports-track. He removed his dress uniform to check under the hood at the brilliantly-designed super-compressor. Blanda developed a headache.
