So apparently the company that owns CBS (Star Trek rights) also owns Del Taco, a fairly regional Taco chain. If you go get one of their XL Macho cups, there is a code for a little Shuttlecraft Pet that follows your ship around. If anyone is near a Del Taco and wouldn't mind grabbing a few cups, that would be awesome! The nearest one to Connecticut is 10 hours by car.

How does my free Del Taco promotional time work?
Your Del Taco promotional time is more accurately described as free trial time. That is, it grants you access to the Star Trek Online beta test and it allows you to play Star Trek Online for free after the game launches. Even if you do not own or subscribe to Star Trek Online, each code you redeem (up to one per cup type and four total) will grant your account two days of free trial time. If you redeem a unique code from each of the four exclusive Del Taco cup types, you will get 10 days of free trial time. Free trial time will be applied right when you redeem the code. So, if you redeem one code before our game's launch on February 2, 2010, you'll be able to play Star Trek Online for free until February 4, 2010. If, however, you redeem a code on February 4, 2010, you'll be able to play until February 6, 2010. And, if you redeem all four unique codes on February 4, 2010, you'll be able to play until February 14, 2010. All free trial time expires March 15, 2010.
