Based on what I was learning just before I got into epsc, it sure sounded like a merger was in progress or about to be. Given that, it honestly doesn't surprise me as a matter of human nature that rather than bring epsc current which might have cost a pretty penny somebody deemed it better off to just leave it alone don't spend the money. Just wait for the merger and everything will be taken care of then. I think that's what's happened. Do I have any evidence no. it's just what I could see somebody doing given the situation.
Spock....what do you do when you can't find the keys to a shuttle? You can't jump start one.
