started by Ghost07 in the - Commodores' Lounge - at the TrekBBS converted by Jan Hendrik Kobarg go to the statistics
I had so much fun with these in the last lounge, I thought I would start one up here... remember, you can only add one sentence at a post...	Ghost07
Dawn broke, bright and cheery, on a planet with 3 suns, as a scout class starship quietly landed in an isolated field.	Ghost07
Inside the vessel McCoy coursed about Sulu's uneasy flight through the atmosphere and Spock's last statement.	Intelligence
However, McCoy's thoughts were interupted by a burst of phaser fire from beneath the forest canopy that narrowly missed turning the shuttle into so much flying scrap.	PointyHairedJedi
They all dove out of the shuttle and rolled behind some rocks while pulling out their phasers and in between McCoy's complaints.	Ghost07
"Dammit, Spock, I thought this planet was supposed to be uninhabited!", McCoy said loudly over the phaser fire.	PointyHairedJedi
Spock replied: "It´s very illogical to exclude all the possibilities, therefore you should have considerd the option of habitation, now duck!!!"	Angry Angel
McCoy could see a couple of klingons in the distance firing at them from the top of a hill	clint g
Spock smushed McCoy's face into the dirt as he fired again on the unseen enemy, while Sulu ran for a nearby tree, firing as he ran and shouting... Who is that, anyway?!	Ghost07
Sulu jumps into a lake as a phaser bolt hits his leg.	clint g
As he hit the water, he discoved that it wasn't actually water at all, but a weird goopy substance.	PointyHairedJedi
The goopy stuff encased his leg, healing the wound and he floated across to the other shore, calling for Spock and McCoy to hurry up as they waded through the stuff.	Ghost07
This led McCoy to shout, "Just how the hell did you float across like that anyway? I don't see no wings on you, boy."	Charles of Borg
The goop was purple and it smelled of rotten cabbage and the burning phaserfire did nothing to assuage the odor which brought nausea to every pore of Spock's Vulcan body.	doubleohfive
McCoy tried to give Spock something to counteract the goop.	LittleRedhead
The doctor dragged the Vulcan across to Sulu, who helped them out of the goop, while McCoy told Spock... It's that GREEN blood!	Ghost07
Spock's communicatior then buzzed.	Astrozac
"Spock, what's going on down there?" Kirk's commanding voice boomed from the communicator.	Super Grover
McCoy grabbed the communicator and shouted sarcastically... Your UNinhabited planet has a couple of Klingons on it who took exception to our arrival!	Ghost07
And the communicator was silent a moment as McCoy imagined Kirk's hushed reaction on the bridge of the mighty starship... .then Kirk's voice came through: "Oh hey Bones. How they hangin?"	doubleohfive
McCoy threw the comunicator against a stone, making it sparkle and Spock turning to the doctor, "I recommend you focus your anger against the Klingons instead of valuable Starfleet equipment."	Intelligence
Meanwhile back on the Enterprise, Kirk got back to making out with Rand while sitting in his Captain's chair.	Astrozac
Rolling her eyes at the Captain's shenanigans, Uhura turned back to the comms and tried to reestablish contact with the away team.	wuzit2u
"I'm unable to establish contact with the Away Team, Captain," Uhura informed, interrupting Kirk's trist with Rand.	LittleRedhead
"The hell with the Away team," Kirk responded. "Come and join me and Rand. I haven't had a decent threeway since Stardate 342946.9."	Charles of Borg
Uhura decides Kirk is obviously temporarily insane, so she ignores him and leaves the bridge.	Ghost07
Kirk then asks, "Can someone call for that Yeoman that was with McCoy on that Amusement Park planet?"	Astrozac
MEANWHILE... back on the planet, Our trio of adventurers has escaped the Klingons and found a tiny village that shouldn't have been there, nestled in a small valley.	Ghost07
Because the village was tiny its residents were tiny as well.	LittleRedhead
Actually, they were about the size of Spock's finger, and the three officers knelt down to see them better.	Ghost07
The villagers hoped none of the three kneeling crewman would chhose that time to pass gass, At that level methane emissions could be very harmful to the village and it's occupants.	Super Grover
As a precaution the leader of the tiny village ordered that gas masks be passed out to every villager.	LittleRedhead
since the inhabitant's noses were on the top of their head they now looked like a horde of rhinos.	Intelligence
"Fascinating," intoned Spock.	PointyHairedJedi
"Quite" Bones said, rolling his eyes.	Astrozac
One of the villagers approached the crewmembers and said in a high pitched voice, "Great peoples from far off worlds, please don't step on the flowers!"	OdoWanKenobi
The flowers shouted Bones; what about you you little pint size marshmallows?	Ghost07
The small alien replied "Do not worry about us. For if you were to step on one of, we would emit an explosion that would detonate this entire planet, leaving only us alive in the vaccum of space, where we can very easily breath, and you cannot.	OdoWanKenobi
OOOH! said Bones, moving back quickly; Everyone; watch where you put your feet!	Ghost07
"Too late," said Spock.	LittleRedhead
As Bones rushed to give medical attention he spoke up, "Dammit Spock, I'll need a han--Hey, where the hell did Sulu go?"	Astrozac
Sulu awoke on a table in a strange medical lab unlike sickbay on the Enterprise.	Super Grover
He was completely naked, and a wire from one of the machines nearby was attached to his left nipple.	Charles of Borg
he looked to the left and saw...	Intelligence
One of the tiny people, apparently grown to full size.; smiled at him and said, bet you think I grew to your size, don't you?	Ghost07
Sulu looked puzzled at the man when he saw a window over the man's shoulder, occupied by a pair of insanely large Starfleet Boots	Intelligence
"Next time you should be more careful when it comes to jumping into pools of strange goop - you never know just what strange effects it may have", continued the now not so tiny person.	PointyHairedJedi
"Yeah, you have to watch out for birds because they're like bombers when they're dropping crap and we've lost three men just this week," another one said.	Astrozac
"Who are you people?" inquired Sulu.	Charles of Borg
"Haven't you been paying attention Sulu?" McCoy snapped.	LittleRedhead
"No" said Sulu, "I was too busy watching the lights flash on and off"	Kronos
"Lt. it would be in your best interest to keep a sharp eye." Spock Replied.	Super Grover
Considering that Sulu is STILL shrunk to the size of the little people, he tries to figure out how he can hear Spock and McCoy talking as if he's still with them.	Ghost07
"I think I need a drink," McCoy rubs his hands in his eyes.	Astrozac
Meanwhile back on the Enterprise Uhura has lost all contact with the landing party.	Super Grover
Uhura having left bridge some scenes earlier, is heading for the communications office, to work directly with the special equipment of her department.	Intelligence
But the door to the office was jammed shut "Foo!" said Uhura	Kronos
She goes in search of a good old fashioned crowbar.	Ghost07
she spotted technician Sivertsen carrying a toolbox and asked the blonde man if he could repair the door.	Intelligence
He nodded and promptly did so, and Uhura was soon inside trying to find the away team's location.	Ghost07
As she came in she saw Ensign Fisher with his earplugs in banging his head at his station	Astrozac
Uhura went to a control board, turned some switches and instantly Fisher screamed, jumped up and pulled the earplugs out.	Intelligence
Glaring at him, Uhura said, That'll teach you to listen to music while on watch.	Ghost07
Ensign Fisher grew furious and raised his hand to strike at Uhura, for the ensign was actually a Romulan spy.	Charles of Borg
But Uhura kicked the ensign in a sensitive area and called for security	Kronos
Security came and dragged ensign Fisher away for interogation while Uhura started back up with... Away team, come in please.	Ghost07
but again Uhura heard nothing but static, when she spotted a data cassette...	Intelligence
With a label that said "Instructions in case the radio is broken"	Kronos
she put the cassette into the reader, but instead of the manual she wrote years ago, romulan letters appeared on the screen.	Intelligence
Kirk slammed the Romulan spy aginst the bulkhead inside his cell of the Brig. "Who are you and how did you get on my ship." Kirk interrogated.	Super Grover
Uhura ran into the brig, brandishing thedata cassette... this was in his possession, and it seems to be instructions from his boss...	Ghost07
Kirk forced the Romulan into the bench in the brig. "So, your here to gather information and sabotauge my ship. Uhura, what's on the disc?"	Super Grover
"Foghat, sir?"	Astrozac
huh???	Ghost07
... asked Kirk, just noticing Uhura still holding the disk standing behind him.	Intelligence
Meanwhile the Romulan spy dove for the guard and the phaser he had	Kronos
The guard tried to sidestep the Romulan but wasn't quick enough and was bowled over.	LittleRedhead
"Kirk to Security Chief... Who the hell is the Chief of Secuirity anyway?" Kirk said over the communication relay.	Astrozac
Actually, the Chief of Security is Lt. Sulu... who is... ahem... down on the planet right now? said Uhura in disgust.	Ghost07
"Are you quite done?" said the spy, now holding the phaser.	PointyHairedJedi
"Bummer" said Kirk, who then tore his shirt and kicked the phaser from the Romulans hand	Kronos
"That's a dirty trick tearing your shirt to distract me Kirk," the Romulan complained.	LittleRedhead
MEANWHILE on the planet, Spock and McCoy were sitting in a garden, drinking water and the local moonshine from tiny mugs, surrounded by the tiny villagers and the mini Sulu.	Intelligence
"Are you sure there's no way to make me big again?" yelled Sulu, so that McCoy and Spock could just about hear him.	PointyHairedJedi
"I'm working on it Mr. Sulu, but there's still one more ingredient I need to be able to get you back to your normal size," McCoy informed.	LittleRedhead
"Spock," whispered Bones, "what if all these people want to be made as big as we are?"	Charles of Borg
That would be most illogical, Doctor... this is their world and they are emminently suited to it as tiny... becoming giants would put a strain on their resources.	Ghost07
"Waitaminute," Kirk says back on the Enterprise, "Sulu was chief of security in that mirror universe, I think ours was the guy who helped us with the Horta!"	Astrozac
"What difference does it make Jim since a small Sulu is no use to us no matter what his duties are," McCoy fumed.	LittleRedhead
Sulu looks up at the doctor and says... just what is that final ingredient, Doc?	Ghost07 [1]
"well, that would be the wing of a bat, and... " McCoy rolls his eyes and reacts to Sulu's look "just tried to pull a joke"	Intelligence [2]
Looking disgusted, Sulu said... Think up something constructive, Doc! I just want to be my normal size again!	Ghost07 [3]
"Lieutenant Sulu, for now you can be of big help, I believe the Klingons do not expect a finger sized spy", noted Spock.	Intelligence [4]
"What use can I be at this size?" said Sulu, "Surely they will detect me"	Kronos
They won't be expecting someone your size, so they won't look for you; and you can find out what they're doing here, which was our original purpose, after all...	Ghost07
Sulu looked up to Spock and exclaimed "yeah I understand, send the Lieutenant to the Klingons... I'm looking forward to the day when I have my own Starship."	Intelligence
"And while we're at it," said Sulu, "I hope you don't expect me to WALK over there!"	kevsthaman
"Well I did notice a slight weight gain during your last routine physical. A little hike might be good for you Lt." Replied McCoy.	Super Grover
I'M 1 INCH TALL, DOC!!!!sputtered Sulu.	Ghost07
"Well thats,-- dammit now where did Spock go to?" sighed the disgruntled and tired doctor."	Astrozac
"I am here, doctor" shouted Spock to McCoy, who took up Sulu in his palm and went to a tree behind which the Vulcan...	Intelligence
... fitted Sulu with an EV suit, pulled back a branch of the tree, put Sulu in place on the end of the branch, and released it.	kevsthaman
YAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!! shouted Sulu as he went flying through the air and then landed on a Klingon head, as it sat with the rest of it's body by a campfire and said... did you hear something?	Ghost07
"Gar, shut up and go to sleep!"	Astrozac
Gar pats his head, just missing Sulu , and says... I think it's starting to rain.	Ghost07
MEANWHILE on the Entprise the Romulan Spy is back in his cell, and Uhura is showing Kirk the content of the spy's cassette in the security chief's office.	Intelligence
According to this disc, they knew of the Klingon presence on this planet... it seems they're looking for something, although they don't say what it is...	Ghost07
"Maybe they are looking for some Romulan Ale," the security chief suggested.	LittleRedhead
"But why?" asked a nameless redshirt, "the ale is legal in the Klingon empire"	Kronos
"I too doubt the Romulans plant a spy among my crew, just to reclaim some Romulan Ale" said Kirk.	Intelligence
Wasn't there some report of there being tri-lithium deposits here? mentioned Uhura.	Ghost07
"Wait, I seam to recall a repor of deposits of tri-lithium being discovered here," Kirk said.	LittleRedhead
"But that was over 30 years ago, and the miners took every single bit of it that they could find," Kirk continued.	OdoWanKenobi
"I seem to remember the miners threatened to declare their independece shortly after the mine was depleted," Kirk said, annoying Uhura.	LittleRedhead
Rolling her eyes upward and praying for patience, Uhura gave it one more try, saying... well maybe that mine wasn't as dpleted as we were led to believe... and maybe the Klingons know this... and maybe, if you repeat what I say one more time, we'll need a new captain... and she smiled sweetly at Kirk... :)	Ghost07
Suddenly, the red alert sound chimed through the ship.	Charles of Borg
"What is the trouble now?" asked a redshirt	Kronos
"Keptin Kirk, please report to thee Bridge." requested Chekov over the shipwide P.A.	Super Grover
Believing he had turned the intraship intercom off, Chekov leaned over to the nameless ensign at the helm and whispered (directly into the mic) "I vould so totally bone Uhura, eh comrade?", broadcasting his lustful intentions across the ship.	doubleohfive
Uhura blushed as she heard the helmsman's indecent proposal.	LittleRedhead
"Hey none of that on my bridge mister and besides if anyone gets a crack with her it goes by rank!" Kirk belts out to the gawky Russian.	Astrozac
Come on, people... FOCUS!!! We've got a missing away team... a Romulan spy on board... a parrot for a captain... and there's no time for you to play your little boy games! Uhura glared at them all with her hands on her hips... Now get down to business!	Ghost07
Everyone on the bridge laughed, which was the last starw for Uhura, causing her to go over to the captain's chair, give Kirk a kick right in his manhood and yell out "Ok, that's it, I'm taking over this ship!"	OdoWanKenobi
"That's insubordination Lt.," Kirk said trying to regain his strength, half-standing wobbly.	Astrozac
"Then do something useful" suggested Uhura, "scan for cloaked vessels and get Commander Scott to fix the communication, you are the captain, act like one"	Intelligence
Quietly a redshirt near the lift set his phaser to wide angle stun and prepared to fire..	Kronos
... when the lift doors suddenly opened, through which Scotty stepped on the bridge "Can somebody tell me, ... hey lad, what ya doin' with the phaser?" did he say when he noticed the crewman who was distracted for some seconds.	Intelligence
As Kirk took down the redshirt with a flying dropkick, Chekov shouted, "Keptain, a ship is decloaking off of starboard!"	Charles of Borg
Kirk knocked the redshirt unconsious and looked up at the view screen and shouted, "Ready photon torpedos!"	LittleRedhead
As the redshirt drifted into unconsciousness he quietly spoke to Kirk "No need Captain, my comrades will make quite sure your weapons will be useless"	Kronos
"Now how could you make our photon torpedos useless?" Scotty questioned.	LittleRedhead
Kirk starts looking away and whistling.	Astrozac
Kirk starred at the screen where a Romulan Bird of Prey, had just appeared.	Intelligence
The Romulan captain stared back and wondered what the Enterprise would do next.	Kronos
Ready photon torpedoes, Mr. Chekov... and target their engines and weapons only, I want to talk to them when they're disabled.	Ghost07
"Ready Keptin" replied Chekov and Kirk didn't hesistate any longer, gave the order and after the familar sound came through the ship an explosion was visible on the screen.	Intelligence
"Open a channel to them!"	Astrozac
This is Captain Kirk of the Starship USS Enterprize... we have your spies in our custody... and we want to know why they were placed aboard this ship.	Ghost07
the Romulan commander and his female centurion beside them looked at each other for second, then the commander said quickly: "that is of no importance, you are in Romulan territory, break orbit and leave this place for your own safety!"	Intelligence
Nonsense! Kirk looks at Uhura for confirmation, and says... this is nuetral territory... we have as much right to be here as you do! and in an aside to Uhura, Kirk asks... have you located the away team yet?	Ghost07
"Our records indicate differently Kirk" said the angered Romulan Captain "And we have no idea what spies you might be talking about, more likely an excuse to invade our space, withdraw at once! or face the wrath of the Romulan fleet"	Kronos
A smirked spread across Kirk's face as he said, "I wouldn't advise picking a fight with us and I believe you have an ulterior motive for wanting us to leave."	LittleRedhead
"Because you're in our space," the Romulan Commander said getting annoyed.	Astrozac
Taking a chance, Kirk carefully watched the Romulan Commander's eyes as he said sarcastically... yeh, right... and the fact that there is a trilithium mine down there has nothing whatsoever to do with it!	Ghost07
"in that case it is only of greater importance for the Empire and we will do everything to defend the planet against you Earthers", countered the Romulan.	Intelligence
"Suit youself but we're not leaving," Kirk befre ending the transmission.	LittleRedhead
"Are you guys sure, we're not really in their territory because we don't have Spock to tell us that actually we are in their territory, if we are?" Kirk questions his gallant crew.	Astrozac
MEANWHILE, back on the planet tiny Sulu was looking around the Klingon camp.	Aldo
From the tree on which he climbed he could see five Klingons, of which Gar was one of the lesser important ones...	Intelligence
K'Lon was their leader, and right at the moment he was looking at the map given to him by a Romulan commander, that would lead them to the trilithium mine, as Sulu saw while in the tree.	Ghost07
One of the Klingon's communicator's buzzed in a pale low-key whirl.	Astrozac
He answered it, listened a moment, then put it away and looked up... We were right... and it is the Enterprise.	Ghost07
Just then the branch that tiny Sulu was holding onto broke and tiny Sulu fell into the Klingon's blood wine that was sitting near the fire at the camp.	Aldo
Sulu sputterred, spitting out blood wine as he scrambled out of the mug, and dived under a leaf just in time to miss being swallowed by K'lon who picked up the mug.	Ghost07
holding the mug in his hand he said "we now need to hurry and find the mine, I want to get back to Kling soon... bad enough we're being picked up by Romulans"	Intelligence
Having heard what he came to hear, Sulu made sure he was far enough away from the Klingon camp before taking out his communicator and relaying what he'd learned to Spock; then making his way back to the village where they awaited him.	Ghost07
As he headed back the Klingon spotted Sulu and reached down to grab the tiny man.	LittleRedhead
Fortunately he missed and fell on his face, and Sulu made it safely back to Spock and Dr. McCoy, who handed him a tiny drink that restored Sulu to his normal size.	Ghost07
"I'm sure you want to know, how" teased McCoy, but didn't wait for a reply "it was so simple: the flowers that grow here."	Intelligence
That's why they told us not to step on the flowers! exclaimed Sulu... Thanks Doc, but right now, we better get moving, the Klingons are heading for a trilithium mine!	Ghost07
Spock walked up "Ah Mr. Sulu, so good to see you back to your old self again."	Aldo
The away team follows a group of the little people who claim to know a shortcut to the mine.	Ghost07
Meanwhile in orbit the Romulan captain called for reinforcements to deal with the Enterprise and made arrangements to beam a heavily armed landing party down.	Kronos
After hearing the Romulan communication, Kirk rubs his fingers together sitting in his chair, "It's a good thing we have this new spyware stuff and not to mention our spy on the ground."	Astrozac
There it is! says one of their guides, and Sulu notices the Klingons in the distance, saying, well it looks like this really was a shortcut since we beat them...	Ghost07
Just then the Klingon looks in Sulu's direction and sees him.	Aldo
Sulu figures Gar sees him but is shocked when he just keeps marching with the other four brutes.	Astrozac
The Klingon in fear and shock readyd his phaser to kill the small people.	Kronos
but still being a bit drunk from the bloodwine all Klingons missed the humans and hit the walls instead.	Intelligence
The away team and their tiny guides ducked quickly into the mine, and, once again, Spock tied to reach Captain Kirk on his communicator.	Ghost07
"Captain, our secret agent Gar just saved us by leading the other Klingons to shoot over our heads but they will soon by trying to follow us into the caves," Spock relayed to his commander.	Astrozac
"Not now Spock I'm busy with Uhura," Kirked snapped at the Vucan.	LittleRedhead
"Captain!" shouts Uhura shocked and angered.	Astrozac
"Oh I'm sorry did I say that out loud?" Kirk replied.	LittleRedhead
Spock put away his communicator, saying... our communications are still being jammed... and he looked up to see the others staring at a pure vein of trilithium.	Ghost07
"Sir," yelled Chekov back on the Enterprise, "long range sensors have picked up another Warbird and a Klingon D-7 entering the system!"	Astrozac
Shields up, Mr. Chekov... red alert! Uhura, have we been able to reach the away team yet?	Ghost07
"no Sir, the landing party still does not reply... and I think I discovered why: Ensign Fisher--or whatever his real name is--planted a virus in our communication system."	Intelligence
"Dammit, and I forgot to upgrade our antivirus program, I knew I shouldnt have spent the extra credits on Orion Slave Girls" Kirk said.	Aldo
"Helllooooooo..?!?!" said the now VERY ticked off Romulan captain "Am I talking to myself here?!? I have 2 more warbirds and a 3 birds of pray on the way, you might wanna leave soon you silly human"	Kronos
"Hello" Kirk replied with a grin, "Get ready to say hi to my two friends, photon and torpedo."	Aldo
Battlestations, everybody! Looks like we got a fight on our hands... and Lt. Uhura... find and eradicate that virus!	Ghost07
"Aye Captain I'm attempting to locate and eradicate the virus now, but what's that on the view screen?" Uhuru questioned.	LittleRedhead
"Oh, that's just an inkspot," replied the Captain. "Get a yeoman up here on the double with some Windex."	Charles of Borg
"Cap'n I believe you should have a second look at view screen since I don't believe it's just an ink spot," replied Scotty.	LittleRedhead
"Whatever it is, we need to get the hell out of here until we can get some backup, Warp Factor 8 and send out a message to Starbase 18!" Kirk takes charge issuing orders.	Astrozac
The Romulans ships attempt to stop the Enterprise by firing at her engines	Kronos
Fire photon torpedoes! Kirk, who has never run from a fight, shouts, and watches as the Romulan vessel is blown to smithereens...	Ghost07
Uhura turns to Kirk, "That Romulan torpedo knocked out long range communications."	Aldo
"Uhura," said the captain, "I want you to get in touch with the away team and find out if they've seen any Romulan activity down on the surface."	Charles of Borg
"Aye Captain, hailing the away team now," Uhura complied.	LittleRedhead
All of a sudden Uhura's station blows up in a shower of sparks, sending Uhura flying back, but not far.	Aldo
Catching herself on the railing, she said... I had them for a moment there; at least now they know about the Romulans... she holds a bandage to her head where she got cut when she fell.	Ghost07
"Get yourself by Medical, Uhura," Kirk orderd.	LittleRedhead
"Would you like to surrender now Kirk?" asked a new and even more enraged Romulan, "You may have blown up one ship killing innocent Romulans but you have no chance vs 4 more ships"	Kronos
innocent and Romulans does not belong in the same sentence, commander... personally, I think YOU should give up... and Kirk smiles his annoying smile at the Romulan before clicking off the viewscreen... please tell me we have lots of photon torpedoes left, Chekov...	Ghost07
Vee hev tventy two torpedoes Keptin, Chekov responded in his thick accent.	Aldo
"Captain, maybe we should talk about this before we just start shooting everyone" said the science officer on duty	Kronos
Kirk stared at the young officer in shock...and give them the time to kill everyone on that planet? I think not! Chekov, target their weapons and engines, and fire at will...and be accurate!	Ghost07
"Aye Kepten," Chekov said before the photon torpedoes struck the Romulan ship.	LittleRedhead
"direct hit" reported Mister Scott and Kirk raised his fist: "I knew we can make it."	Intelligence
The three other Romulan ships began pelting the Enterprise with the really cool plasma torpedoes from balance of terror	Kronos
"Kepten what do we do now that we've fired all of our phonton torpedos?" Chekov asked.	LittleRedhead
Use our imaginations, Chekov...keep on with phasers, we won't run out of ammo with them...and DODGE their weapons...although it looks as though we've disabled most of those, now...Scottie, you're the best at jury-rigging...what can you do for us?.	Ghost07
Just then a plasma torpedo struck a vital area and blew the Enterprise up, but just as it had blown up, it un blew up, it appears the ship got caught in a temporal repeater (for lack of a better term ;) ).	Aldo
If we can stay inside this temporal rift just a bit longer, Captain, I can turn that plasma torpedo back on them...Scottie fiddles with buttons and then says...There! That's got it, and watches as the plasma torpedo backfires on the Klingon warship that sent it...Ha! all enemies are disabled, Captain, and we can now get our away team back. :p	Ghost07 [5]
Find the away team and beam them up here, NOW...we'll try and recover the shuttle, later.	Ghost07
Scotty turned to Kirk, worried look on his face, Canna do it cap'n, that time loop knocked out transporters.	Aldo [6]
"Oh for crying out loud stuff like this never stopped us before Scotty so get down to engineering and figure out a solution," Kirk ordered.	LittleRedhead
A few minutes later, as Kirk contacts Scottie and says...Well?...the Scot's voice can be heard saying...GOTCHA!...we got 'em, Captain, and just wait til you see all the trilithium they brought with them.	Ghost07
"Scottie, tell Spock to report to the bridge on the double," ordered Kirk over the intercom.	Charles of Borg
Spock entered the bridge, still dusting himself off, and before Kirk could say anything, he told him...Jim, we have a problem since that planet IS inhabited, the Klingons are after their trilithium, and to top it off, I think Romulans are involved, too.	Ghost07
Well Spock, for the first time I know something you don't....the Romulans are involved!	Aldo
Spock: "Uuuhhhh..."	vulcan2k3
We're in the process of wiping them out, Spock...just how much trilithium are we talking about?	Ghost07
"By my calculations we should have enough trilithium to last us for several years," the Vulcan answered.	LittleRedhead
Kirk look perplexed "Why should we be interested in Trilithium. Please bring me up to speed Spock, and just where the heck is Sulu!?"	Aldo
Spock shakes his head violently...I must have been more affected by that goopy river than I thought...what I meant to say was ...there is enough trilithium for the Romulans to make a devastating weapon...and Lt. Sulu is, of course, being examined for after-effects of his shrinking experience by the good doctor...where, if you will excuse me; is where I should also be; and, shaking his head once again, Spock departs the bridge.	Ghost07
Kirk turned and faced the viewscreen and looked introspective: "Did Spock just say goopy?!"	Aldo
"That's what I heard him say Captain," a red-shirted ensign replied.	LittleRedhead
Sulu enters the bridge, everyone turns to greet him, Sulu smiles and sits at his station.	Aldo
Sulu, plot a course for Starbase 11...Uhura, open a channel to that Romulan again...Kirk rubs his hands together...now for the fun part...we'll just add a little insult to his injury...	Ghost07
Uhura: Aye sir, opening channel. Kirk: Onscreen	vulcan2k3
The Romulan Commander appeared, looking green enough to explode, and Kirk said...Well, I guess we'll just run along now since we got what we needed, and I DO hope you don't have too much trouble with repairs; and clicked off the screen with a NOW SULU! as the Romulan shouted...KKIIIIRRRRKKKK!!!!	Ghost07
The Enterprise flies off at Ludicrous Speed!	kevsthaman [7]
The Enterprise arrives at Starbase 11, turns over the trilithium to the proper people, and the crew gets a much needed shore leave as we fade away to begin another story...	Ghost07
At last! it's done... Ok, now who's gonna start the next story?	Ghost07
Notes:
[1] Ghost07: sigh... LRH, McCoy is on the planet, Kirk is on the ship, and the ship has lost communication with those on the planet... :lol:
[2] Intelligence: I fear those entries above won't make it into the compiled version :lol:
[3] Ghost07: after waiting awhile, can't you just add them, Intell?
[4] Intelligence: I include everything, plot holes, spelling errors and comments :lol: it would go against the principle of a line-by-line story ;)
[5] Aldo: What happend to coming up with a technobabble excuse (er, I mean explanation) ;)
Intelligence: We are in the TOS era, where Klingons have smooth foreheads, StarFleet sends out Landing Parties with the Captain in charge and Technobabble explanations were not given :D
[6] Aldo: Hehe, I know, I was just being funny ;)
[7] kevsthaman ...I just had to, sorry :p :lol:
Ghost07: Don't be sorry...that was perfect!
