Romp. Kirk must convince a minstrel woman - with a companion Arcturian wolf - to substitute for a look-alike in a betrothal ceremony, and then extricate her from the groom's clutches. [1]
"The Things I Do For the Federation," by Audrey Baker, is about a not-so-pretty minstrel persuaded by Captain Kirk to pose as the fiancee to the Ruler of Harmatt at the betrothal ceremony. It seems the real lady has been delayed and the touchy Ruler of Harmatt will forego this alliance with the Federation if she does not appear at the appointed time, which would make the Romulans very happy. This minstrel, Pandora Exning (I kid you not), has a striking resemblance to this Emmeline Broms-grove (really!), who has been personally chosen by the Har-mattian Ruler. Complications do arise of course, due to Pandora's constant companion, MacKenzie, a wise-cracking sentient Arcturian wolf. [2]
The first story [in the zine] "Things I Do For the Federation" by Audrey Baker would be the highlight of the issue - a story humourously told with witty glimpses of the ST people told by one outside. It is the story of a professional entertainer who must sacrifice her modesty for the sake of galactic peace. Very entertaining sf. [3]
