Lt. Uhura: Captain, an urgent message. I'll put it on audio. CLICK. INTRUDER You have violated the romulan neutral zone. Leave at once, or you will be DESTROYED. Mr. Spock: Captain, this is most unusual. Please examine your short-range-scanners. You have attempted to cross the negative energy barrier at the edge of the galaxy. The third time you try this, you will be destroyed ! ABANDON DEATHRAY MIne SEnsors THAW Chart DESTRUCT Move SHields Transport COMMAND FREEZE Orbit SHUttle Reqest CRystals HELP Phasers Srscan RESt DAmages Impulse PHOtons STatus Warp Dock Lrscan PLanets TERMINATE We haven't the energy to go that far with the shields up. Engineering to Bridge-- Scott here. The warp engines are damaged. We'll have to reduce speed to warp 4. Engineer Scott: Sorry, Captain. Until this damage is repaired, I can only give you warp 4. Warp engines inoperative. Insufficient energy to leave quadrant. Scotty rushes to transporter controls. But with the shields up it's hopeless. We can't do it, Captain. We haven't the energy. Spock: Captain, I believe the starbase has been destroyed. Galileo, left on planet surface, is captured by aliens and made into a flying McDonald's ! Remainder of rest & repair period cancelled. Starbase destroryed......CONGRATULATIONS. AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH HACK HACK HACK * CHOKE * Mr. Spock: FACINATING ! Phasers can't be fired through base shields. Insufficient energy to activate high-speed shield control. Sulu: Captain, shield malf**********************************************Sulu: Sir, the high-speed shield control has malfunctioned . . . CLICK CLICK POP . . . No response, Sir. Weapons Officer Sulu: Phasers overheated, Sir. First Officer Spock: Captain, the impulse engines requrie 20.0 units to engage, plus 100.0 units per quadrant. First Officer Spock: Captain, our speed under impulse power is only 0.95 sectors per stardate. Spock: May I suggest the shuttle craft, Sir. Impossible to transport through shields. Spock: Captain, we have no information on this planet and Starfleet regulations clearly state that in this situation you may not go down. Spock: Captain, I fail to see the logic in exploring a planet with no dilithium crystals. Scotty: Transporter romm ready, Sir. Kirk and landing party prepare to beam down to planet surface. Kirk: Energize. You may not leave shuttle craft on planet. Landing party assembled, ready to beam up. Kirk whips out communicator...beep beep beep Kirk to Enterprise: Lock on coordinates...Energize. BOOOIIIOOOIIOOOOIIIIOING . . . Scotty: OH MY GOD ! I've lost them ! Mining party not on planet. No dilithium crystals on this planet. No dilithium crystals available. Spock: Captain, Starfleet regulations prohibit such an operation except when condition yellow exists. Spock: Captain, I must warn you that loading raw dilithium crystals intothe ship's power system may risk a severe explosion. Engineering Officer Scott: (GULP) Aye, Sir. Spock and I will try it. Spock: Crystals in place, Sir. Ready to activate circuit. Scotty: Keep your fingers crossed, Sir. Shuttle craft cannot pass through shields. Shuttle craft damaged ! Ye Faerie Queene has no shuttle craft ! Shuttle craft now serving Big Mac's ! Already in standard orbit ! Both warp and impulse engines damaged ! Not adjacent to planet ! Helmsman Sulu: Entering standard orbit, Sir. Ye Faerie Queene has no death ray. Sulu: But Sir, there are no enemies in this quadrant. Spock: Captain, the 'Experimental Death Ray' is highly unpredictable. Consider the alternatives. Spock: Acknowledged. Crew scrambles in emergency preparation. Spock and Scotty ready the death ray and prepare to channel all ship's power to the device. Spock: Preparations complete, Sir. Kirk: Engage. Sulu: Captain, It's working. ***MATTER-ANTIMATTER IMPLOSION IMMINENT Ensign Chekov: CONGRATULATIONS, Captain. Sulu: Captain yagabandaghangrapl, brachritgringl Lt Uhura: Graaeek Graaeek Spock: Fascinating . . . All humans aboard have apparently been transformed into strange mutations. Vulcans do not seem to be affected. Kirk: RAAUCH RAAUCH Sulu: Captain, it's --WHAT ?? Spock: I believe the word is ASTONISHING, Mr. Sulu. Captain, our quadrant is now infested with - - - - - - *THINGS*. I have no logical explanation. Sulu: Captain, the Death Ray is creating Tribbles. Scotty: There are so many Tribbles down here in engineering, we can't move for 'em, Captain. You must be aboard the Enterprise. Shuttle craft not currently available. ***ABANDON SHIP ABANDON SHIP ***ALL HANDS ABANDON SHIP Captain and crew escape in shuttle craft. Remainder of ship's complement beam down to nearest habitable planet. You are captured by Klingons and released to the Federation in a prisoner-of-war exchange. Starfleet puts you in command of another ship. The Faerie Queene, which is antiquated but still usable. Lt. Uhura: But Captain, we're already docked. Subspace Radio damaged. Lt. Uhura: Captain, I'm not getting any response from starbase. Spock: Captain, do you relize that Starfleet may not be able to re-materialize our ship, and we could all perish. Lt. Uhura: Captain, We made it. You and your mining party board the shuttle craft for the trib back to the Enterprise. The short hop begins . . . Mining party assembles in the hanger deck, ready to board the shuttle craft 'Galileo'. The hanger doors open; the trip begins. ---WORKING--- IDENTIFICATION-POSITIVE SELF-DESTRUCT-SEQUENCE-ACTIVATED PASSWORD-REJECTED CONTINUITY-EFFECTED ENTER-CORRECT-PASSWORD-TO-CONTINUE-SELF-DESTRUCT-SEQUENCE OTHERWISE-SELF-DESTRUCT-SEQUENCE-WILL-BE-ABORTED PASSWORD-ACCEPTED GOODBYE-CRUEL-WORLD Computer damaged; cannot execute destruct sequence.
