VAX Trek V The Movie: "The Crunchy Bits" ---------------------------------------- Episode 6: ---------- Captain's Log Stardate 42.424242 -------------------------------- We are being held at gunpoint by an impostor who was posing as Uhura, and to make matters worse, we are confronted by three Klingon battlecruisers.. Uhura: "Oi! what do you think you're doing! Get back over there and keep your hands up!" Jim: "I was just doing my Captain's log" Uhura: "I'll DO you if you don't watch it Kirk" Spock: "Little man, if he DOESN'T do the log then Starfleet Command will send out a patrol ship to look for us. And then we'd be rescued, you'd be caught, hung, and then given a fair trial. You wouldn't want that would you?" Uhura: "As long as you didn't put anything in the log that might arouse their suspicions..." Jim: "Oh no no, nothing of the sort....Just the usual stuff about the engines, the crew, the ship in general really." Uhura: "...Nothing about me?" Jim: "Nope...it completely slipped my mind that you were here actually.." Uhura: "Hmm..alright then...but check with me next time you want to do anything." Jim: (whispering) "phew!...that was a close one Spock....how long till Starfleet get here with the heavy artillery?" Spock: (whispering) "3.4212 hours approximately Captain" Jim: "Damn...how can we hold out here for over 3 hours?...I feel like I need to go and powder my nose already..." Checkov: "Here Captain, you can use mine" (producing a make-up set from his handbag) Jim: "Groan...Checkov...you must learn not to translate everything literally into Russian...when I say I want to powder my nose I mean...oh forget it......." Uhura: "Look you lot!..Stop muttering...just keep your hands up, and keep quiet!" (fiddling with a few switches on the communications panel) "Purple Hamster calling Klingon battlecruisers, come in please... Purple Hamster to Klingon battlecruisers..." ["This is Brown Envelope to Purple Hamster...we read you loud and clear.."] Uhura: "I have the crew at gunpoint....please come aboard.." Jim: "Why the dirty little!!....He's a Klingon agent..." Uhura: "Very observant of you Kirk...." Jim: "What are you after ...you..fiend!" Uhura: "For many years the Klingons have been trying to capture a Federation Starship...and at last we have succeeded..." Spock: "...The Federation's greatest technical secrets are incorporated into its starships.....they'll find out the secret of the warp drive system.......how our weapons work....how our transporters work..." Uhura: "Bugger all that.....we want to find out how to make our doors go 'Sheesh'" Jim: "How do you know OUR doors go ...'Sheesh'?" Uhura: "It's no use pretending Kirk, we have evidence...It took us many years to find out, but our greatest scientists built a new sensor device that could be used to detect the door noises on nearby starships..." Spock: (whispering to jim) "..very ingenious....but also extremely pointless.. ...Typical of the Klingons really....they've a lot to learn... ..and it has a lot to do with why we got our own TV series and they didn't..." Uhura: "Shut up.....and stand at attention...prepare to salute Commander F.J.Trouserpress of the Imperial Klingon battle legion..."
