HAILING FREQUENCIES
|
||
By W.H. Lambdin
|
||
|
||
This is the premier issue of Sub Space News. I hope you like
|
||
it. Later; I hope to have more Trekkers to take an active
|
||
part in SSN by posting trivia, Star Trek Parodies, general
|
||
rumors, and etc.
|
||
|
||
This will not be the nicest looking Fan Club publication, and
|
||
the grammar will not be perfect. But; the strong suit will be
|
||
Trek related information.
|
||
|
||
I had better tell you something about myself.
|
||
|
||
I have been a fan of Star Trek since 1967 when I watched the
|
||
episode "Arena" with an older cousin.
|
||
|
||
I am very active on the BBS networks. Especially so in the
|
||
Star Trek conferences. In fact; I read 6 Star Trek
|
||
conferences on a daily basis, and moderate three of them.
|
||
|
||
Intelec (Conference Host)
|
||
Smart Net (Conference Host)
|
||
Lite Link (Conference Host)
|
||
U'NI Net
|
||
Ilink
|
||
RIME
|
||
|
||
If you have access to one of the Star Trek conferences listed
|
||
above, drop a note to Bill Lambdin, and say hi. I would love
|
||
to hear your comments.

This essay is the author's compilaton and interpretation of
|
||
the various sources available on the theory and evolution of warp
|
||
travel as presented in Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next
|
||
Generation by Gene Roddenberry and the various Star Trek authors
|
||
and writers.
|
||
Almost all sources have been considered (except most fan
|
||
created stuff which I don't have access to), and a compromise is
|
||
arrived at to reconcile most differences. When there are
|
||
conflicts among the sources, the TNG Technical Manual is chosen
|
||
to be the undisputed source, due to the fact that it is the only
|
||
manual done by people who actually work on the show.

There will be periodic updates as new information came to
|
||
light, so stay tuned.
|
||
Enough of the legal jargon... Let's get to the story.
|
||
|
||
|
||
PRE-WARP
|
||
|
||
Before warp engines, there was impulse engines.
|
||
Impulse engines are what enabled the first scouts to reach
|
||
Alpha Centauri from Terra. They are based on the Newtonian
|
||
action-reaction principle. The energy obtained from the fusion
|
||
reactors is used to convert deuterium to plasma, and eject the
|
||
plasma via forcefields. The impulse engines also act as power
|
||
generators for the ship.
|
||
Obviously the acceleration is rather slow and maximum speed
|
||
is definitely nowhere near speed of light. After long periods of
|
||
acceleration high impulse speeds approaching speed of light can
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
SUB SPACE NEWS; Star trek information zine Page 6
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
be achieved. However, due to relativistic time dilations, high
|
||
impulse speeds are not used except in emergencies. Normal
|
||
impulse operations are limited to a velocity of 0.25c. (1)
|
||
One of the new ships equipped with impulse engines, the SS
|
||
VALIANT galactic survey cruiser, went through a wormhole and
|
||
encountered the edge of the galaxy. It did not return in the
|
||
process. (2)
|
||
|
||
|
||
EARLY WARP
|
||
|
||
Zefram Cochrane was credited with the discovery of the
|
||
principles of "warp drive". In short, single shaped fields,
|
||
created at tremendous energy expenditure, could distort the
|
||
space/time continuum enough to drive a starship. (3)
|
||
The earliest Continuum Distortion Propulsion (CDP) Drive, or
|
||
what became the warp drive, was completed by the Cochrane team in
|
||
2061, which they named the "fluctuation superimpeller." It is a
|
||
fusion power source coupled to a subspace distortion generator
|
||
coil. Unmanned tests showed the device allows the probe to
|
||
travel at light speed without being subjected to the limits of
|
||
relativity.
|
||
What the drive did is to create a portal between Einsteinian
|
||
space and "subspace". The portal is unstable due to lack of
|
||
sufficient power. However, the probe is able to move into the
|
||
portal and stay within for Planck time (1.3x10^-43 sec), and stay
|
||
in this universe for Planck time as well. The probe then
|
||
fluctuates back and forth, as the subspace distortion exerts an
|
||
overall force on it. The net effect is the probe travelled at
|
||
lightspeed without spending the infinite energy as being
|
||
predicted by Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity.
|
||
The CDP engines are soon fitted to all ships. The Cochrane
|
||
team moved to Alpha Centauri later on a CDP-powered ship, where
|
||
they continued their research. The trip took "only four years"
|
||
due to the CDP drive.
|
||
The space and subspace distortion is measured in Cochranes,
|
||
in memory of Zefram Cochrane, who disappeared one day when he is
|
||
about 80 years old. (4)
|
||
|
||
|
||
IMPROVING WARP
|
||
|
||
As the CDP drive distorts space but could not maintain it,
|
||
research is underway to cut down the power:volume ratio in order
|
||
to generate more power in order to maintain a stable portal.
|
||
There were no suitable answer for sufficient power density until
|
||
the answer was found: anti-matter.
|
||
Research have long found that matter-antimatter annihilation
|
||
produces the most power. However, the potential danger is so
|
||
great that the research in the area is quite slow until
|
||
artificial gravity is mastered, and the anti-matter can be safely
|
||
contained and controlled.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
SUB SPACE NEWS; Star trek information zine Page 7
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The reaction between matter and antimatter produced clean
|
||
photons, which is captured and used to generate the subspace
|
||
field via drive coil(s). It was measured that the CDP engine
|
||
uses approximately 5x10^4 megajoules to travel at lightspeed.
|
||
Anti-Matter can provide ten to one hundred times the power in the
|
||
same volume.
|
||
Theorists argued over what would happen once the continuum
|
||
distortion field could be maintained. Most agreed that the power
|
||
usage will drop when the field is established. However, no one
|
||
knows what will happen after that, or how they will use it.
|
||
The probe using anti-matter power was readied and sent. It
|
||
sent back surprising news: once lightspeed is breached, the
|
||
power use drops back down to approximately 2x10^2 Mj. Attempt to
|
||
increase subspace distortion beyond the point created an
|
||
approximately cubic relationship between power applied and
|
||
subspace distortion amount, which in turn affected apparent
|
||
speed. The probe at one time exceeded 30c, which is a record.
|
||
The power consumed at that time is approximately 3.1 times the
|
||
amount used at light speed.
|
||
Later studies shows that the probe generated subspace fields
|
||
(later warp fields). The field is assymetrical, and exerts force
|
||
in some directions. The probe is moved by the counterforce.
|
||
To measure the supralight speed, the new unit called "time
|
||
warp factor" is invented. It is named for the time-space
|
||
distortions created by the drive. (5) Based on the empirical
|
||
relationship established during the probe run, the Cochrane team
|
||
decided to start a scale with lightspeed as the reference point.
|
||
Based on the proportionality between power consumed and apparent
|
||
speed, they derived a simple formula, S = W^3 c, where S = speed
|
||
in multiples of c, and W is the "time warp factor". Later,
|
||
"time" is dropped for simplicity, and the factors simply became
|
||
known as "warp factor", or more simply "warp".
|
||
The subspace field that is maintainable became known as the
|
||
now familiar "warp field". Measured in Cochranes, the its definition
|
||
is amount of subspace distortion at warp 1, or lightspeed.
|
||
The cigar-shaped probe originally virated heavily during
|
||
entry into warp space. Study of its telemetry lead to
|
||
experiments with several designs. Finally, upon chance, it was
|
||
discovered that a saucer-shaped hull helps facilitate entry into
|
||
subspace. Later ships are mostly designed with a saucer-shaped
|
||
primary hull.
|
||
The first Federation warp-equipped ship is BONAVENTURE,
|
||
which disappeared years later on an exploratory mission. (6)
|
||
Improvements are soon added. Instead of a single coil,
|
||
multiple coils are used to generate multiple fields. Each field
|
||
is projected from the ship, which pushes upon each other only in
|
||
certain directions. The ship then moves in the opposite direction.
|
||
By varying the frequency of the field generation and the field's
|
||
direction, speed and direction of the ship can be controlled.
|
||
On the other hand, by having multiple coils, and varying the frequency
|
||
the coils are energized, different amount of acceleration can be
|
||
achieved. GALAXY-class starships can go from 0 to warp 9 in less
|
||
than a second at top acceleration.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
SUB SPACE NEWS; Star trek information zine Page 8
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
However, there are limitations. One, due to manufacturing
|
||
technologies, subspace coils can only go up to a certain size,
|
||
which puts a limit on the size of the field possible, and
|
||
therefore the size of the ship carrying it. Two, the higher the
|
||
speed, the higher subspace compression becomes. That means more
|
||
power must be consumed to generate the same subspace fields at
|
||
higher velocities.
|
||
The anti-matter powered ships have a maximum speed of
|
||
approximately warp 4, or 256c, due to lack of power. The warp 4
|
||
limit became know as the first warp barrier, since researchers
|
||
predicted that unless a breakthrough is found, there is no way a
|
||
ship can fit the engine needed to break the warp 4 barrier due to
|
||
limits on energy density.
|
||
A second problem that arises is in order to make sure all
|
||
matter reacted with antimatter, only minuscule amounts of each
|
||
are injected into the reaction chamber in order to keep the
|
||
reaction under control. This slow rate of injection limits the
|
||
top speed and acceleration of the ship.
|
||
|
||
(Information in this section is virtually the same from those
|
||
presented in ST:TNG Tech Manual, with some historical references
|
||
and my own conjectures thrown in)
|
||
|
||
|
||
SUBSPACE RADIO
|
||
|
||
Once we can travel, we need to communicate. Subspace radio
|
||
is then invented, since if we can send matter beyond speed of
|
||
light, why not energy?
|
||
Subspace radio is based on this principle. Energy with
|
||
encoded information is sent into warp/sub-space. Its propagation
|
||
speed and distance depends on how "deep" it went into the warp
|
||
space, which depends on how much power is applied and how focused
|
||
and polarized it is when beamed.
|
||
Early Subspace radios went up to warp (8), which is quite a
|
||
bit faster than most ships at that time. Later, the speed is
|
||
regularly upgraded as more efficient means of transmission are
|
||
found, driving the energy "harder" and "deeper" into subspace,
|
||
thus achieving greater warp factors.
|
||
However, there is a problem with the subspace radio
|
||
propagation distance. No matter how focused the signal is, the
|
||
signal will eventually "float" out of warp space, and drop back
|
||
into normal space as regular EM waves. For this reason, there
|
||
are regular subspace booster beacons in a network around the
|
||
Federation and beyond to retransmit the subspace radio waves that
|
||
are almost out of energy or already out of energy.
|
||
|
||
(Information in this section was first theorized by Kasey K.S.
|
||
Chang in the original incarnation of this document, dated 8-
|
||
23/91, and confirmed by TNG Tech Manual, sec 8.5)

|
||
DILITHIUM
|
||
|
||
Dilithium is the most useful material to a starship due to
|
||
its ability to regulate antimatter flow. In a way, it acts as a
|
||
sponge to anti-matter when subjected to a high-energy field. It
|
||
will not react (maybe react very minutely) with anti-matter itself.
|
||
If matter is injected into the crystal with equal amount of
|
||
anti-matter (from opposite sides, of course), the result is
|
||
almost perfectly tuned plasma, yielding much higher energy
|
||
efficiency than pure matter-antimatter reaction without dilithium.
|
||
Previously, in order to ensure the matter-antimatter
|
||
reaction do not leave any residue, only minuscule amounts are
|
||
injected at a time. Now, with dilithium, larger engines could be
|
||
built since total reaction between matter and antimatter can be
|
||
virtually assured.
|
||
Early ships with dilithium crystal equipped warp engines
|
||
needs to replace the crystals frequently since the crystals
|
||
decrystallize after certain amount of usage. (7) It was not
|
||
totally understood why this would occur other than the simple
|
||
explanation of "aging".
|
||
Later on, it was found that imperfections in the crystal
|
||
traped antimatter atoms, which then reacted with the crystal
|
||
itself, causing the molecular chain of the crystal to fall apart
|
||
over time. However, scientists are puzzled since if that is the
|
||
case, the crystal decay rate would be thousands of times faster
|
||
than the actual rate.
|
||
A theoretical explanation was offered much later, that high
|
||
energy photons, when absorbed by dilithium, rebuilds the
|
||
molecular chains. The matter-antimatter reaction produced
|
||
photons, which means the crystal is self-repairing, up to a
|
||
point, beyond which it starts to disintegrate. (8)
|
||
So theoretically it is possible to regenerate a dilithium
|
||
crystal. However, it was found that it is much more practical to
|
||
mine dilithium that the idea was not tested or put to use until
|
||
much later.
|
||
In TNG's time, dilithium crystals are synthesized so
|
||
imperfections are virtually nil, and reactions efficiencies are
|
||
approaching theoretical maximum.
|
||
Dilithium provided the necesary breakthrough to leap beyond
|
||
the first warp barrier. Sufficient power is now available to
|
||
power warp engines to deal with high power expenditures needed to
|
||
surpass the power peak found at warp factor 4, and beyond.
|
||
Later improvements brought about at the time of ST:TMP
|
||
brought the theoretical maximum speed to warp 12, or 1728c.
|
||
Although this speed limit has been broken, those are under
|
||
extraordinary circumstances and cannot be repeated.
|
||
After further research, it was found that speed increase
|
||
beyond warp 11 requires exponential increase in power
|
||
consumption. There seems to be no end in sight.

TRANSWARP
|
||
|
||
No information available, as the subject is still classfied.
|
||
Several conjectures are available though.
|
||
It is believed that the term "transwarp" is short for
|
||
"trancendental warp". While the term could mean above all warp
|
||
before it, the term also has a second meaning: above and beyond
|
||
the material universe.
|
||
What we do know is that the implementation in EXCELSIOR was "an
|
||
abysmal failure". The failure itself was classified, but it was
|
||
mentioned that EXCELSIOR was later converted back to use normal warp
|
||
drive instead of transwarp.
|
||
We shall leave the rest to your imagination.
|
||
|
||
|
||
REDEFINING WARP
|
||
|
||
For many decades, scientists have demanded a revision of the
|
||
warp factor scale. The early scale was based on incomplete
|
||
information. The power consumption ratio does not follow the
|
||
cubed formula at warp factors greater than 4, and falls entirely
|
||
out of proportion when approaching warp 11 and beyond.
|
||
Vulcan Academy of Science, after decades of studying warp
|
||
factors and related power consumption, found a series of
|
||
repeating peaks and bottoms. At certain intervals along the
|
||
power consumption curve, there are vertical drops, then
|
||
geometrical increases of power usage vs velocity.
|
||
A revised scale used these regular peaks and valleys to be
|
||
the basepoints for the warp factors. There are nine valleys
|
||
between warp 0.9 and warp 10, and at warp 10 the speed is
|
||
infinite. Please see TNG Tech Manual's chart.
|
||
|
||

|

NEXT GENERATION WARP DRIVE
|
||
|
||
Other than greater efficiency and better intermix control,
|
||
there are no breakthrough technologies in The Next Generation,
|
||
nor are any expected.
|
||
Top speed in TNG is warp 9.99, and a starship can only maintain
|
||
this speed for minutes. Anti-matter consumption is so great in this
|
||
case that the cooling system cannot cope with the task for too long.
|
||
Further usage risk coolant leak and runaway catastrophic reactions.
|
||
On the other hand, acceleration have been much improved in the 24th
|
||
Century. By employing multiple coils, each coil generating its own
|
||
field, a larger amount of subspace distortion can be generated at once,
|
||
and larger acceleration is achieved. GALAXY-class starship can
|
||
accelerate from standstill to warp 6 in less than a second.
|
||
|
||
|
||
LOOKING BEYOND
|
||
|
||
We will just say that the following are under consideration
|
||
or further research:
|
||
|
||
** A "shunt" drive, almost instantaneous transport from point A
|
||
to point B, similar to wormhole but controlled
|
||
(TNG: To The Nth Degree)
|
||
|
||
** Psi-assisted warp drive, as demonstrated by the "Traveller",
|
||
with speeds up to warp 9.9999999996
|
||
(TNG: Where None Have Gone Before)
|
||
|
||
Could Transwarp be one of the above?
|
||
It was speculated that the ENTERPRISE of the year 3000 will
|
||
by using the "shunt" drive as previously shown in TNG:The Nth Degree.
|
||
Indeed, who will know for sure?

TREK HUMOR
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the ship
|
||
Not a circuit was buzzing, not one microchip;
|
||
The phasers were hung in the arm'ry securely,
|
||
In hope that no aliens would get up that early.
|
||
|
||
The crewmen were nestled all snug in their bunks
|
||
(Except for the few who were partying drunks);
|
||
And Picard in his nightshirt and Bev in her lace,
|
||
Had just settled down for a neat face-to-face...
|
||
|
||
When out in the halls there arose such a racket,
|
||
That we leapt from our beds, pulling on pants and jacket.
|
||
Away to the lifts we all shot like a gun,
|
||
Leapt into the cars and yelled loudly, "Deck One!".
|
||
|
||
The bridge Red-Alert lights, which flashed through the din,
|
||
Gave a luster of Hades to objects within.
|
||
When, what, on the viewscreen, shold our eyes behold,
|
||
But a weird kind of sleigh, and some geek who looked old.
|
||
But the glint in his eyes was so strange and askew,
|
||
That we knew in a moment it had to be Q.
|
||
|
||
His sleigh grew much larger as closer he came.
|
||
Then he zapped on the bridge and addressed us by name;
|
||
"It's Riker! It's Data! It's Worf and Jean-Luc!
|
||
It's Geordi! And Wesley, the genetic fluke!
|
||
To the top of the bridge, to the top of the hall!
|
||
Now float away, float away, float away all!
|
||
|
||
As leaves in autum are whisked off the street,
|
||
So the floor of the bridge came away from our feet,
|
||
And up to the ceiling our bodies they flew,
|
||
As the captian called out, "What the hell is this Q?!".
|
||
The prankster just laughed and expanded his grin,
|
||
And, snapping his fingers, he vanished again.
|
||
|
||
As we took in our plight and were looking around,
|
||
The spell was removed, and we crashed to the ground.
|
||
Then Q, dressed in fur from his head to his toe,
|
||
Appeared once again to continue the show.
|
||
"That's enough!" cried the captian, "You'll stop this at once!",
|
||
And Riker said, "Worf! Take your aim at this dunce!",
|
||
"I'm deeply offended, Jean-Luc," replied Q.
|
||
"I just wanted to spend Christmas with you."
|
||
|
||
As we scoffed at his words, he produced a large sack.
|
||
He dumped out the contents, and took a step back.
|
||
"I've brought gifts," he said, "just to show I'm sincere.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
SUB SPACE NEWS; Star trek information zine Page 13
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
There's something delightful for everyone here."
|
||
He sat on the floor and dug into the pile,
|
||
And handed out gifts with his most charming smile.
|
||
|
||
"For Counselor Troi, there's no need to explain,
|
||
Here's Tylenol-Beta for all of your pain.
|
||
For Worf I've got mints as his breath's not too great,
|
||
And for Geordi LaForge, an inflatable date.
|
||
For Wesley, some hormones, and Clearasil-Plus;
|
||
For Data, a joke book; for Riker, a truss.
|
||
For Beverly Crusher, there's sleek lingerie,
|
||
And for Jean-Luc, the thrill of seeing her that way."
|
||
|
||
Then he sprang to his feet with that grin on his face,
|
||
And, clapping his hands, disappeared into space.
|
||
But we heard him exclaim as he dwindled form sight,
|
||
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good flight!!"

Christmas Carols
|
||
<Star Trek : The Next Generation Style>
|
||
|
||
<the following text is by Anthony Moses>
|
||
|
||
During a recent routine uplink to a communications satellite while
|
||
attempting to call an Alaskan BBS, I happened to intercept the following
|
||
mail packet. According to a physicist friend of mine at the university,
|
||
unprecedented solar flare activity on that date may have resulted in a
|
||
transient chronophase (or time-shift) in the subspace frequencies, with
|
||
the result that I have, astounding as it may seem, apparently downlaoded
|
||
seasonal E-mail from the crew of the USS Enterprise 1701-D. These
|
||
holiday greetings are reproduced here as received (with editorial
|
||
comment by myself), and with no guarantee of their authenticity (or
|
||
quality).
|
||
|
||
FROM JEAN-LUC PICARD (to the tune of "Let It Snow"):
|
||
|
||
Oh, the vacuum outside is endless,
|
||
Unforgiving, cold, and friendless,
|
||
But still we must boldly go--
|
||
Make it so, make it so, make it so!
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
FROM WILLIAM RIKER (to the tune of "Deck the Halls"):
|
||
|
||
Here's a vexing Christmas riddle:
|
||
(Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la la)
|
||
Why must I play second fiddle?
|
||
(Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la la)
|
||
How can I impress Deanna
|
||
(Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la la la)
|
||
When I'm number two banana?
|
||
(Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la la)
|
||
|
||
FROM WESLEY CRUSHER, Starfleet Cadet
|
||
(to the tune of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"):
|
||
|
||
I'm at Starfleet Academy,
|
||
And I'd just like to say
|
||
I miss the opportunity
|
||
To weekly save the day--
|
||
To make things worse, I have to be
|
||
In some dumb Christmas play!
|
||
Yes, I'm bright, though I'm just a teenaged boy,
|
||
Only a boy,
|
||
And the Enterprise was my most favorite toy!
|
||
|
||
FROM DATA:
|
||
|
||
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
|
||
Jingle all the way!
|
||
Oh, what fun it is to ride
|
||
In a one-horse open sleigh--
|
||
or so I am reliably informed; lacking a subjective
|
||
and intuitively perceived referent for the term "fun,"
|
||
I am able only to report the phenomenon as experienced
|
||
by others, whose individual perceptions somewhat color the--
|
||
yes, sir.
|
||
|
||
WORF E-MAILED two different greetings.
|
||
The first appears to be to the tune of "White Christmas":
|
||
|
||
I'm dreaming of a dead Pakled,
|
||
Just like the one in Rec Deck Eight.
|
||
They all think they've hidden,
|
||
But this one didn't,
|
||
And I'm using him as bait.
|
||
I'm dreaming of a dead Pakled--
|
||
Their mental skills are rather lame.
|
||
May your foes die sonless, in shame--
|
||
And I hope you're wishing me the same!
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
SUB SPACE NEWS; Star trek information zine Page 15
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The second is most easily sung to the tune of "The Christmas Song"
|
||
("Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire"):
|
||
|
||
Phasers flashing in the depths of space,
|
||
Ripping up an airtight hull;
|
||
Signs of fear on your enemy's face,
|
||
And life-support signs reading null!
|
||
Ev'rybody knows a Romulan's a spineless foe
|
||
Who lacks the Klingon will to fight!
|
||
Phaser beams set his torso aglow--
|
||
He'll find it hard to breathe tonight!
|
||
He knows that Worf is on his way!
|
||
And soon he'll be the object of the verb "to slay"!
|
||
And ev'ry slinking Rom and Pakled spy
|
||
Will soon become the subject of the verb "to die"!
|
||
And so I'm offering this simple threat
|
||
To Roms, and all Ferengi, too:
|
||
You'll be as dead as a life-form can get--
|
||
Merry Christmas to you!
|
||
|
||
Evidence suggests that these last two greetings are samples from a
|
||
proposed anthology entitled "Klingon Kristmas Karols," published by the
|
||
Federation as an attempt to translate certain aspects of Terran culture
|
||
into Klingon terms; further examples from this festive book of holiday
|
||
glee would be (to coin a term) fascinating to contemplate. The reader
|
||
will note that Christmas felicitations from Deanna Troi, Beverly
|
||
Crusher, Geordi LaForge, Guinan, and M.E. O'Brien are curiously absent;
|
||
perhaps some other user has intercepted these, and will post them for
|
||
our continued edification.

Editor's Note: As our story begins (?), the Borg have returned to the

Enterprise, and are serving up music for the wedding of Data and the

Ship's Computer, arranged in a hallucinatory frenzy by Data under the
|
||
influence of Kieko's Kung Pao chicken (MSG acts like LSD in androids).

PROLOGUE

***********************
|
||
|
||
|
||
Resplendent in his polyester tuxedo, Data entered Ten Forward and strode
|
||
down the makeshift aisle, as his bride-to-be was wheeled in by four grim-
|
||
faced engineering ensigns.
|
||
The computer access terminal was a vision of loveliness in white peau de
|
||
soie and lace. Data approached it, light-footed.
|
||
"You do look lovely, my dear," he breathed.
|
||
Amid mutterings of "matrimony is irrelevent," the Borg struck up "Here
|
||
Comes The Bride".
|
||
In formal dress, Jean-Luc Picard approached the happy couple. This is
|
||
the most absurd farce I've ever witnessed, he thought, but kept his private
|
||
musings to himself and prepared to direct the vows.
|
||
"Do you, Data..."
|
||
Data interrupted with a hiccup, and then another. The MSG was wearing
|
||
off! He glanced regretfully at the ferrous bride. Picard wished he were
|
||
elsewhere.
|
||
"It would not work out," Data remarked blithely. "Our ports and plugs
|
||
are incompatible. I am serial, while you are parallel. I am DC, while you
|
||
are AC. I..." He was unable to finish his apology because at that moment,
|
||
the access terminal began sobbing and quickly shorted herself out.

The bridesmaids (all confirmed and hopeless DSBSG's) quickly saw their
|
||
chance and surrounded the groom, determined to get rid of those blasted
|
||
yellow contacts once and for all and see what color his eyes REALLY are.
|
||
The Enterprise continued careening off into the depths of space out of
|
||
control. Someone, somewhere, wailed pitifully:
|
||
"Where is Wesley Crusher??"
|
||
|
||
|

|

***********************
|
||
THE PART AFTER THE PROLOGUE
|
||
***********************
|
||
|
||
|
||
Meanwhile, the jaded and rejected Geordi LaForge sulked in the enginnering
|
||
lab, plenty pissed that even the robot got a fiance.
|
||
Data, reeling from the electronic signals pressed into his skin by the
|
||
Borg and bridesmaids, stumbled into the lab just in time to see Geordi
|
||
ready to leave this happy world via a cable attached to the warp engine.
|
||
Data knocked into him and got the cable shoved up his nose. The energy
|
||
boost from the nasal link caused sparks to fly out of his ears and smoke to
|
||
rise from the thin cracks where his scalp patches met. He turned, smiled
|
||
lecherously at Geordi, and gurgled, "What's a blind babe like you doing in
|
||
a place like this?"
|
||
Geordi's hair stood on end. He frowned in dire anticipation of what Data
|
||
was grinning about, and started to run as fast as he could, sprinting into
|
||
the turbolift, just in time to avoid the randy robot. He turned around and
|
||
was surprised to see the chief medical officer standing in the corner with
|
||
the captain.
|
||
Damn!, thought Beverly. Just when I was about to tell Jean Luc what
|
||
I've been trying to tell him for the past 4 seasons!
|
||
When the turbolift arrived at its destination, Geordi exited and escaped
|
||
into Ten Forward, where he found Guinan busy cleaning up the mess made from
|
||
the aborted wedding. Sweeping bridesmades & Borg into an untidy heap,
|
||
Guinan turned toward Geordi to ask what was wrong, but accidentally knocked
|
||
him unconscious with the brim of her hat. Geordi plopped into the pile of
|
||
discarded wedding guests.
|
||
Guinan sighed and turned to look at the unconscious Geordi. His VISOR had
|
||
flown into the Borg pile when he fell, ending up somewhere in the hopeless
|
||
tangle of cords and metal.
|
||
She stared at Geordi for a moment, then frowned, thinking of her
|
||
ex-husband, Q! Oh, yes, she better not let anyone ever hear about that
|
||
mess, or she'd be the laughing stock of the ship. Now, why didn't she pick
|
||
something a little less arrogant, a little less powerful, something like
|
||
this Geordi? She wandered over to the pile.

Meanwhile, in search of the object of his desires, Data bumped into a
|
||
cleaning droid, busily vacuuming up the remains of the Conga line. Data
|
||
heard the strains of an obscure ages-old earth ditty as he gazes into the
|
||
video receptors of the droid. Figuring if he can't be with the one he
|
||
loves, he will love the one he's with. Sweeping the droid into a nearby
|
||
broom closet, he whispered, "Did anyone ever tell you how lovely you are
|
||
when the red alert beacon shines off your chrome outer covering?"
|
||
The droid, beeping and blooping, began tingling all over, and started to
|
||
overheat. <insert commercial break>
|
||
|
||
|
||
***********************
|
||
|
||
|
||
Riker, finally becoming somewhat lucid after being clobbered by Data and
|
||
Deanna, limped down the corridor, concerned about his ship and not half
|
||
hopeful that he'd find Troi.
|
||
Suddenly, he saw and smelled smoke from further down the corridor.
|
||
Limping faster, Riker found the source of the smoke emanating from the
|
||
broom closet. He pushed the contact, and out fell a totally dissassembled
|
||
cleaning droid and a maniacal looking lieutenant commander.
|
||
Data looked at him with delight. "Ah! Commander! Intriguing! I am
|
||
feeling more fully functional than ever!" he yipped, and leaped out at his
|
||
superior officer.
|
||
Startled and remebering the bashing he just had at the robot's
|
||
hands, Riker made a short sqeaking noise and backed into a laundry shaft
|
||
he didn't know about.
|
||
He felllllllllllll...........landing with a THUD on top of the pile of
|
||
dirty laundry. OUCH!!
|
||
"Ouch?" thinks Riker. "Why did I say ouch? I'm not hurt and my 2 x 4
|
||
is still in place."
|
||
Feeling a movement beneath him, Riker dug down into the dirty pile to
|
||
find who or what was lurking there. He pulled out the squirming form of
|
||
"Wesley! Is THIS where you've been the last year?"
|
||
Wesley looked up at him and yelled, "Geezus! I've been down here
|
||
yelling for someone to notice me since stardate... uh... well, a long time!
|
||
Commander! Wha..hey, what happened to your face?"
|
||
"Oh, Wesley, shi- you wouldn't believe it. Data and Deanna beat me to
|
||
shreds because Tasha... well, you've got a lot to catch up on. Tasha is
|
||
alive, though! ALIVE!"
|
||
"Is she still..."
|
||
"Stacked? Oh, yes..."
|
||
They sat for a moment in quiet reverence.
|
||
Wesley finally turned and bit his lip (like he does) and said, "We need
|
||
to get out of here, Commander. I'm too puny and spindly to bust this grate
|
||
open; I haven't eaten anything in a year or so. But *you*..."
|
||
Riker stood precariously on the pile of clothing, gave a manly smirk,
|
||
adjusted his shirt and walloped the grate with a spinning kick.
|
||
"Ooof!" he bellowed, and fell back into the laundry; but the grate had
|
||
been bent open, and so he and Wesley bent it further back and crawl out.
|
||
|
||

||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
They found themselves deep in the body of the ship, damn near the bottom
|
||
hull. The grate opened to a service corridor. Looking around, Riker
|
||
noticed that there were no comm panels nearby, and no personnel. Well, at
|
||
least here I can gather my thoughts for a while, decide on a plan, Riker
|
||
thought.
|
||
Thank god he doesn't have a thing for teenaged boys, Wesley thought.

Keiko O'Brien, drunk on Saurian brandy and pissed off at her two-timing
|

husband, lurched over to her special voice-print locked drawer, opened it
|

and retrived her family heirloom: an ancient samurai sword. With the

stealth of a ninja, she stole out into the corridor.

|

|
||
In Ten Forward, one Borg, still stunned by the jazz rhythms, grabbed
|
||
the VISOR and places it over its eyes. Mesmerized by all the pretty
|
||
colors, it shorted out, thereby destroying the entire Borg pile.
|
||
Well, thought Guinan, that's one less mess I'll have to clean up. She
|
||
picked up the VISOR, stroking it lovingly. Yes, she thought, someone like
|
||
Geordi could make me forget all about that insufferable Q.
|
||
Suddenly there was a blaze of white light. Guinan turned to see her
|
||
ex-squeeze standing before her, dressed in a Star Fleet Admiral's uniform.
|
||
"You again," hissed the Hostess. "You really must do something about your
|
||
wardrobe!"
|
||
"Guinan, dear! Is that any way to greet me? You WERE thinking of me,
|
||
you know. So here I am in all my magnificence!"
|
||
"MagNIficence? Oh PLEASE. You have the worst timing. I just got through
|
||
cleaning up the mechanical conga line and knocking out the chief engineer,
|
||
and honey, I don't need you showing up right now." Guinan shook her head
|
||
mournfully, and waved a warning finger at him, which he dodged. "You know,
|
||
you colossal bastard, the last time we were together, I told you you'd
|
||
better not cross my path again. I think you just made a big mistake. Now,
|
||
I've put up with you visiting Picard, but to think of popping in on *me* -"
|
||
Q laughed. "Don't give me your idle threats, Guinan dear - I KNOW you
|
||
have a pretty mean gonad-disruptor-ray hidden in that hand, but I haven't
|
||
spent eternity without a few tricks of my own, even for *you*!" Q snapped
|
||
his fingers, and in a bright flash of light Guinan transformed into an
|
||
exact likeness of Tasha Yar!
|
||
"Damn you Q, turn me back!" Guinan shrieked. Q smiled/glared at her.
|
||
"Oh no. I think this situation warrants you remaining just the way you
|
||
are. Now, I'm going to go pop in on an old friend of mine."

|
||
|
||
Q found the one he was looking for in an unlikely setting. Data was
|
||
still in the broom closet, futilely trying to repair the object of his
|
||
desires. Q took one look at the burnt-out cleaning droid and Data's
|
||
enamored expression and put two and two together.
|
||
"Q!" said Data, "Why are you here?"
|
||
"Why ask why?" chastized Q. "It looks like I arrived too late to save
|
||
you from such a sorry state. For shame! And to think you would settle for
|
||
a glorified vacuum cleaner when I have such a nice present waiting for you
|
||
in Ten Forward!"
|
||
"Present? Oooooooo...I love presents!" croaked Data. And off he
|
||
stumbled in search of his surprise.
|
||
|
||
|
||
***********************
|
||
|
||
|
||
Back in 10 Forward, Guinan was still trying to figure out how she was
|
||
going to get out of this latest mess Q had so generously created for her.
|
||
She cautiously looked in the mirror. Instead of seeing her own familiar
|
||
face, the visage that stared back at her was a woman who could not act her
|
||
way out of a paper bag. "I'll never get used to THIS!" wailed Guinan. Her
|
||
hat was so frightened by the prospect of being worn by a blonde floozey
|
||
that it flew off Guinan's head and burrowed deep into the pile of wedding
|
||
guests, muttering something about wanting its Mommie.
|
||
Just when Guinan thought things couldn't get any worse, in walked Data.
|
||
In an instant, his fried former flame was forgotten.
|
||
"Tasha! Baby! Come to Papa!" leered Data as he approached Gui-Yar with
|
||
outstretched arms and twinkling eyes.
|
||
"No...Data...you have me confused with someone else," stuttered Gui-Yar
|
||
as she backed up toward the bar. Not wishing to play footsie with an
|
||
amorous android, Gui-Yar furiously tried to come up with an idea (before
|
||
Data came up with...never mind). I can transform back into myself if I
|
||
just have something to focus my energies on! she thought. Scrambling, her
|
||
hands found the phaser rifle she kept hidden behind the bar. Quickly
|
||
thumbing the switch to setting 13 1/2, she fired! Data's eyes grew wide as
|
||
he saw his beloved Tasha disappear in an explosion of sparks. Gui- Yar was
|
||
gone. But in her place stood another woman with a strange hairdo and a
|
||
hideously stiff uniform that hid her shapely form. She had become...
|
||
RomuYar!
|
||
Sparks flew from Data's earholes. "B-b-b-b-b-ay-bee!" he moaned
|
||
mournfully. "What hap-p-p-e-nnn-ed to You? You look dreadful in that
|
||
getup!"
|
||
Before the mystery woman could reply, Geordi bleated "Help me!" from the
|
||
pile of dead Borgs. Data turned and studied the pile one brief moment,
|
||
then helped his friend out of the tangle.
|
||
"Who's that? Wha- is that you, Data? Oh no...."
|
||
"Do not be alarmed, Geordi" Data replied. "I am no longer interested in
|
||
you as a potential mate. Where is your VISOR?"
|
||
"I don't know," Geordi said.
|
||
"I think it's in this -"
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|

||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Just then a shaft of phaser beam pierced the light control panel,
|
||
darkening the room so that only the glow of the stars outside remained.
|
||
Startled as a machine gets, Data picked up Geordi and flung him over his
|
||
shoulder, and dashed out of 10 Forward, too concerned with protecting his
|
||
friend to remember to question the strange woman who so resembled his Tasha.

|

|
||
|
||
Riker leaned up against the wall of the corridor. He had managed to
|
||
ascertain that ship was not being captained because Picard would not answer
|
||
his communicator call. For that matter, neither would anyone else. Wesley,
|
||
though not knowing what was wrong, was already babbling about a technological
|
||
solution.
|
||
"Commander, if I attach a warp coil degeneration unit with an overhead cam
|
||
and daisy wheel braking system, and insert a specially programmed virus into
|
||
the ROM of the computer core, along with hooking up a special project I had
|
||
in my lab when I disappeared and which by lucky coincidence just may be the
|
||
thing we need, I think I can save the ship and increase gas mileage by twelve
|
||
percent. And Commander, listen to this..."
|
||
"Shut up, Wesley," Riker growled. "I am so sick and tired of you always
|
||
popping up with some gadget to save the ship." He turned to face his
|
||
companion. "You know, I worked hard to get where I am. Damned hard. I
|
||
never asked for favors, like you do. I never brownnosed or kissed butt like
|
||
you do. I never did the Captain's laundry like you do. I really don't mind
|
||
when you have valid suggestions, but I wish you would for once let me think
|
||
of some of my own solutions. You think that manipulating the hardware on
|
||
this ship is all that'll ever save it. I don't see things that way. And
|
||
Wes...get a real haircut, willya?"
|
||
Wes bit his lip (like he does) and tears rolled down his cheeks. "Gosh,
|
||
Commander," he wimpered, "I was only trying to help."
|
||
"Yeah, well, help by thinking about this, kid: how do we find out what's
|
||
happening without getting killed or kissed, and how do we get control of
|
||
this ship?"
|
||
"Yes sir," Wes replied, looking chipper. "And Commander...I won't let you
|
||
down."
|
||
When has he ever, the little brat, Riker thought.
|
||
|
||
|

***********************
|
||
|
||
|
||
Data raced down the corridor toward the turbolift. "Engineering," said
|
||
the android as he gently placed the still-groggy Geordi on the floor.
|
||
"Engineering?" replied the turbolift voice. "Why would you want to go
|
||
there? Why not the holodeck? We could have a lot of fun and..."
|
||
"What the hell is wrong now?" exclaimed Geordi.
|
||
"The computer was in a somewhat...unusual state when I last saw it,"
|
||
admitted Data.
|
||
"Take us to Engineering," Data ordered the turbolift. "Now! That is an
|
||
order."
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
"Well, if you're going to be that way about it..," whined the Voice.
|
||
"What good will I be to you in Engineering, when I can't see a thing!"
|
||
complained the engineer. "My VISOR is still in Ten Forward, remember?"
|
||
"We can construct a temporary replacement there, Geordi," said Data.
|
||
"Yeah," Geordi sighed. "I keep forgetting you can build anything."
|
||
|
||
|
||
***********************
|
||
|
||
|
||
Wesley was still sniffling (yet another thing he does better than any-
|
||
one).
|
||
"Oh, wipe your nose, kid," grumbled Riker. "It looks like our best bet
|
||
is to head toward engineering where you can construct your super-duper fix
|
||
of the week."
|
||
Wesley dabbed his nose with something he pulled out of his pocket.
|
||
"Where the hell -" snapped Riker as he saw the piece of cloth. "What
|
||
are you doing with Deanna's bra?"
|
||
"Commander," wailed an embarrased Wesley, "How do you think I passed
|
||
the time that whole year I was trapped in the laundry room? Besides...how
|
||
did you know it was Counselor Troi's?"
|
||
"Never mind, kid," said Riker, clearing his throat. "Just keep moving."
|
||
|
||
|
||
***********************
|
||
|
||
|
||
In the ready room, Captain Picard and Doctor Crusher were in the middle of
|
||
heavy breathing exercises (very good for the pulmonary system, dontcha know).
|
||
Beverly cooed, "Oh, Jean Luc. I thought you'd never..."
|
||
"After all, Bev," said the captain. "I couldn't have you falling for
|
||
nothing but invertebrates every week. It's time you had a real man."
|
||
Just as the couple was about to do something everyone has wanted them to
|
||
do for four years, the red alert klaxon sounded. "Noooooo!!!!" wailed
|
||
Bev. "Not NOW!!!"
|
||
"Calm yourself, Beverly," said Jean Luc soothingly. "You know the ship
|
||
has to come first." The couple, straightening their uniforms, strode into
|
||
the bridge. "What the hell is going on, Ensign? Where are the rest of the
|
||
bridge officers?"
|
||
"I don't know, Sir!" said Ensign Bimbo-of-the-Week. "No one will answer
|
||
their hails. And the computer refuses to help find them!"
|
||
"Merde!" spat the Captain. "I can't leave the bridge for 5 minutes...
|
||
Computer! Locate Commander Riker and Lieutenant Commander Data this
|
||
instant!" he barked, tugging on his uniform. This powerful gesture
|
||
miraculously restored the computer to full working order.
|
||
"Lieutenant Commander Data is in Turbolift Four, heading toward Engin-
|
||
eering with Lieutenant Commander La Forge," said the computer. "Commander
|
||
Riker and Ensign Wesley Crusher are in access crawlway twelve, same heading."
|
||
"Wesley!" cried Bev. "Damn! Just when I thought he was out of my hair!"
|
||

|
||
The turbolift sped towards its destination in perfect working order, for
|
||
a change. Geordi leaned back against the wall and wished Data would make
|
||
more noise to reassure him that he wasn't alone. If Data wasn't talking he
|
||
would often not bother to "breathe" either. Geordi imagined putting a bell
|
||
around Data's neck, when the whoosh of the turbolift ceased and he heard the
|
||
doors open, then Data's solid arm guiding him forward.
|
||
"Come on, Geordi, we are here," he prompted and shoved Geordi forward into
|
||
an Engineering work panel. Geordi's head racked across several of the touch-
|
||
sensitive panels and landed on one in particular with a loud "crack".
|
||
"Self-Destruct sequence initiated!" the computer moaned suavely.
|
||
"Recognize Picard, Jean-Luc. Recognize Riker, William T. Recognize that
|
||
sexy Data. Recognize La Forge, Geordi. Recognize ice cream bazooka.
|
||
Recognizzzblurp--" and the panel sizzled blue and smoked.
|
||
Data stood in the blue glow and said, "I believe 'Oh shit' is the proper
|
||
expletive in these circumstances."
|
||
"Wouldn't you rather interface with me?" the computer pleaded.
|
||
|
||
|
||
***********************
|
||
|
||
|
||
"Look, Commander!" Wes yelped, pointing to a red alert light. "Red
|
||
Alert!"
|
||
Riker rolled his eyes. "No kidding, pimple-head!" he muttered. Riker
|
||
wiped his brow with the back of his hand, and shook his head. "I'm sorry,
|
||
Wes" he said. "It's been a horrible day. Female trouble included."
|
||
Out of nowhere, the computer blurted, "Don't play coy with me, honey-
|
||
bunch."
|
||
Riker thought, "At least we're almost to engineering. I think it's just a
|
||
little more. I've got to believe that. We'll save the ship and be happy and
|
||
politically correct again."

|

Keiko returned to her quarters with a carton of two dozen glass jars and
|
||
a container of formaldehyde. Once she finished her task, she would keep of
|
||
the trophies safe where no one would bother them. An ancient method of
|
||
preservation that they would deserve.
|
||
She stood in front of her mirror, brandishing the sword masterfully.
|
||
Turning, she swiftly sliced a patch out of a Starfleet transporter chief's
|
||
uniform which had been left on the floor. That patch floated down like a
|
||
leaf in autumn, having been excised from the crotch of the uniform. Keiko
|
||
smiled sadistically, and stomped out of the room, heading for no particular
|
||
reason (except to force speculation out of tons of viewers) straight to
|
||
Engineering.

The Ensign-Bimbo-Of-The-Week smiled and thought that the Captain was
|
||
talking French in a secret signal that he wanted her.
|
||
"Merde," she thought. "I must look that up - must be for me". She
|
||
imagined her life as the wife of such a famous Starfleet figure, and randomly
|
||
touched her panels to look like she was concentrating.
|
||
Meanwhile, Picard had turned and looked at Bev. "I guess we are not yet
|
||
free from your son, Doctor." He grimaced. "I would like to get to the
|
||
bottom of yo- er, I mean, this, get all the ins and outs of the situation,
|
||
but how can I when all of my bridge crew has either left the show or is
|
||
cavorting on my ship?"
|
||
Bev glanced around, made sure no one was looking, and gave the top of
|
||
Picard's head a quick rub. "Shhh" she said. "I had left a smudge".
|
||
"Harrumph," the captain said, and sat up straighter in his chair.
|

|

***********************

As Geordi attended to the cut on Data's leg, Riker swiftly removed the
|
||
sword from the still unconcious Keiko. Just then O'Brian burst into the
|
||
room.
|
||
"Well, here she is! Is she alright? It's been all over the comm channels
|
||
how she's been slicing and dicing every man she meets. Horrible!" said the
|
||
Chief as he cradled his wife cautiously in his arms.
|
||
Keiko opened her eyes and looked around groggily. "Miles! What am I
|
||
doing here? What happened? Why does my head hurt?"
|
||
|
||
|
||
***********************
|
||
|
||
|
||
Beverly's head was throbbing on the bridge after hearing the reports
|
||
of the havoc Keiko caused on a good percentage of the male population on
|
||
the Enterprise. "I'm off to sickbay, Jean Luc. All the transplant surgery
|
||
and prosthesis implants I'll have to perform...."
|
||
Picard just grimaced and quickly crossed his legs as he watched Beverly
|
||
exit the bridge. "Merde!" he mumbled under his breath. Ensign Bimbo-of-
|
||
the-Week uttered a small EEP! at the magic word and decided now was the
|
||
time to make her move. Quickly, she leapt into the Captain's lap and
|
||
began to kiss him all over his distinguished face.
|
||
Just then, a bright light flooded the bridge.
|
||
When it vanished, Q and Vash stood with arms linked congenially, decked
|
||
out in safari garb once more.
|
||
"We're back," said Q, with a smile and twinkling eyes.

Meanwhile, RomuYar entered the turbolift and purred, "Engineering!"
|
||
"Oh, no you don't, sister!" spat the computer voice. "You're not going
|
||
anywhere near my android!"
|
||
With that, the computer turned off the gravitational field in the turbo
|
||
lift and sent it plummeting down the shaft.

|

|

"Jean-Luc!" Q said mockingly. "Your French sensibilities rising up again,
|
||
eh?"
|
||
Picard was in a whirlwind of arms and legs trying to free himself from
|
||
the Ensign-Bimbo-Of-The-Week. "Q!" He yelped. "And- and VASH!" Vash looked
|
||
brilliantly angry.
|
||
"Jean-Luc, did you miss me that bad?"
|
||
Picard finally managed to throw The EBOTW onto the floor where she
|
||
sprawled and squeaked, "Oh, captain!", and, springing to her feet, ran into
|
||
a turbolift and left the bridge.
|
||
"Very well, Q. Are the disasters on my ship your doing?"
|
||
"Oh, Picard. You dissappoint me. I haven't done anything to your ship.
|
||
You humans have managed to get yourselves in this mess all by yourselves. I
|
||
just stopped in so Vash could say hello."
|

As Q said this the turbolift doors opened and out stepped a disheveled,
|
||
bloody-nosed, pissed off Romulyar with a lar ge phaser-type weapon. "Haven't
|
||
done a THING, have you, you bastard?" the Romulyar grumbled. "Do you think I

want to spend the rest of my life looking like this and mixing drinks? Good

||
thing I made sure this weapon still works!"
|
||
And with that she deftly fired at Q, missing him entirely but taking off
|
||
the top of Vash's head. (And a good thing at that; she could have hit the
|
||
main viewer instead.) Vash slumped to the ground with brains oozing all over
|
||
the carpet. Q, startled, quickly snapped his fingers and the Romulyar became
|
||
Guinan again. He then snapped again and Vash was standing beside him unaware
|
||
of what had just happened.
|
||
"Guinan, you and I have got to have a talk!" Q said.
|
||
"In a pig's eye," Guinan muttered and went back into the turbolift. Q's
|
||
expression quickly evolved from an abashed frown to his standard smug grin.
|
||
"Well, Jean-Luc, you have alot to clean up around here so I'll say farewell,
|
||
mon capitan. Vash?"
|
||
Vash smiled at Jean-Luc and said, "When you least expect it, I'll be
|
||
back". They vanished.
|
||
Jean-Luc sighed and got up to go into his ready room, stepping in the mess
|
||
on the carpet. "Merde indeed," the captain groaned.

In Sickbay, Beverly found that she was the most important person on the

Enterprise. "What a job!" she thought, and called out, "Next!"

|
||
Keiko's sword had removed the "Self-Destruct" sequence. In Engineering,
|
||
Geordi, Data, Riker and Wes the Wonder-Boy were trying to figure out the
|
||
computer.
|
||
"I just don't get it," Geordi said. "Why does it still have this romantic
|
||
glitch about you, Data?"
|
||
Data smiled innocently. Geordi continued, "We need an expert on computer
|
||
interfacing. Lieutenant Barclay, report to Enginnering!"
|
||
Riker leaned over to Data. "Close call there, Data. No offense, but I'm
|
||
glad she went for you first."
|
||
Data nodded. "My replacement parts are easier to manufacture, Commander."
|
||
Wes looked at the patch on Data's leg under the torn uniform, and said,
|
||
"Gosh!" Surely life aboard a starship brought him close to unimaginable
|
||
possibilities. He shuddered, and went off to build another gadget.
|
||
Meanwhile, Troi seethed in her room, wishing she had a counselor. In the
|
||
end, she decided to go have a drink in Ten Forward.
|
||
|
||
|
||
***********************
|
||
|
||
|
||
Guinan stormed through the doors of Ten Forward. Happy to be restored to
|
||
her original form, she was nonetheless agitated by the recent trouble.
|
||
Eeping feebly under the crush of discarded wedding guests, Guinan's hat
|
||
peeked out into the room. Spying its owner, the hat burst out from under the
|
||
pile, intent on landing atop its mistress's head. In it's excitement, it
|
||
missed its mark and went careening into the food replicator. This, with the
|
||
simultaneous Picard Manuver performed by the Captain as he tried vainly to
|
||
explain to Beverly about his previous lapful of Ensign Bimbo-of the-Week,
|
||
sent a massive surge of energy deep into the bowels of the computer core.
|
||
|
||
|
||
***********************
|
||
|
||
|
||
Meanwhile, Data made his way back down to 10 Forward. Fully himself again
|
||
after the shock of Keiko's attack in Engineering, part of him still looked
|
||
forward to seeing his Tasha again, even in her altered Romulan form.
|
||
"Data," said Guinan while retrieving her hat from the replicator, "Tasha
|
||
is gone. So is RomuYar. They were never here. It was all a nasty trick
|
||
that Q played on all of us."
|
||
"So it was all just an illusion," whispered Data. "Even though my system
|
||
has been cleared of all chemical and electrical effects, I was still
|
||
anticipating seeing Tasha again." After some thought he asked, "Guinan? Do
|
||
you believe I will ever find a mate? Though I cannot explain nor understand
|
||
the need for a relationship, I feel somehow incomplete."
|
||
"The last I heard, the computer was a bit taken with you," the bartender
|
||
winked.
|
||
"That is not exactly what I had in mind," said the android.
|
||
But Guinan stiffled a giggle as Data tapped his communicator. "Computer?"
|
||
"Yes, Commander," was its efficient and businesslike response.
|
||
"Commander?!" said Data, bewildered. "What happened to "Honey bunch...
|
||
Sweet cheeks...Cutey?"
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
"I am not familiar with those names," intoned the computer. "Do you wish
|
||
me to located those individual's locations on board the Enterprise?"
|
||
"No, computer. Data out. The computer malfunction has obviously been
|
||
repaired," he told Guinan glumly.
|
||
"Don't take it so hard, Data," Guinan soothed. "You'll find someone to
|
||
call your own. Very soon. I tend to be very perceptive about these things,"
|
||
she said mysteriously.
|
||
Just then, one lone Borg stirred among the party guest pile. Vaguely
|
||
female in appearance, it looked up at Data and smiled a little Borgy smile
|
||
while twirling one of its/her appliances suggestively.
|
||
"Ohhhh, no!" yelped Data. "I am not THAT desparate!" and exited the bar
|
||
at superhuman speed.
|
||
Guinan smiled as she swept the Borg out with the rest of the trash.
|
||
|
||
|
||
**** FINIS ****
|
||
|
||
|
||
"So what do you think of my editing job?" I said.
|
||
Data looked over my shoulder. "You did seem to capture many of the
|
||
subtle characterized nuances," he remarked with a slightly crooked
|
||
expression.
|
||
"Well, Deborah and Judy did all the work, Data. My contribution wasn't
|
||
much more than just...cleaning it up a bit."
|
||
His eyebrows narrowed as his eyes scanned and rescanned the last part of
|
||
the story. "Might I suggest that you further personalize this work by...
|
||
adding a kind of narrative coda after the end of the story. It is possible
|
||
that such an addition may further enhance the irreverent yet benevolent
|
||
mood of the fiction."
|
||
"Hmmmmm," I contemplated, and began typing again.

HISTORY OF THE SHIPS NAMED
|
||
E N T E R P R I S E
|
||
|
||
by Kasey K.S. Chang (Ksc1)
|
||
Last Update : 11-23-91
|
||
|
||
This timeline is the history of all the vessels that beared the name
|
||
ENTERPRISE, from wooden sailing ships to majestic starships.
|
||
|
||
The objective of this timeline is to provide some reference to the
|
||
curious Star Trek fans, while satisfying my own curiosity. I've always
|
||
wondered what is the history of the Enterprise. I started some
|
||
research, and found so many contradicting dates that I decided to put
|
||
in my own educated guesses. Here is my result.
|
||
|
||
I documented why I put things the way they are to the best of my effort
|
||
and knowledge. Most entries are footnoted, with some explanations after
|
||
the timeline itself.

And now to explain the dates.
|
||
|
||
Everything before 2001 is based on historical research.
|
||
|
||
The PEACEKEEPER-class vessel is entirely my imagination, due to the now
|
||
relaxed global atmosphere.
|
||
|
||
The BONAVENTURE-class warp scout is a tribute to the animation episode
|
||
TAS:Time Trap, where the BONAVENTURE herself was seen. It is almost
|
||
logical that one of its class would be named ENTERPRISE.
|
||
|
||
The DECLARATION-class transport/liner is based on older timelines, where
|
||
the ship is mentioned. I added some details to it.
|
||
|
||
The commission date of the original NCC-1701 is 2245, given in TNG Tech
|
||
Manual, page 3. Previous estimates are approximately 2249. The rest of
|
||
her history was based on logical guesses.
|
||
|
||
Refitted NCC-1701 (ST:TMP) was in the year 2271 because according to
|
||
TOSN:A FLAG FULL OF STARS, they are just about to celebrate the
|
||
Tricentennial of the Apollo landing of Luna, which is mid-1969. One and
|
||
a half year is added since the Enterprise was not yet complete at that
|
||
time. Approximate result is 2271.

years old is made when the ship is 42 years old. If one counts from the
|
||
point when the ship is rebuilt in ST:TMP, then the ship is about 12
|
||
years old... What is Morrow counting from? The only possibility
|
||
remaining is Morrow counted from when Kirk first took command in 2262.
|
||
|
||
Destruction of NCC-1701 in 2285 was confirmed by TNG Tech Manual page 4.
|
||
|
||
TOSN:THE RIFT have some good historical references. The rift opens
|
||
every 33.4 years. Due to Kirk's references in the book to his son's
|
||
death, transwarp, and so on, Kirk is on NCC-1701-A. If the adventure
|
||
happens sometime after ST5:TFF, in year 2286, 2286-33.4=2252.6, which
|
||
coincides with early Pike's command, as Pike had already met the
|
||
Talosians at that time.
|
||
|
||
There is one more piece of information gleamed from TOSN: THE RIFT...
|
||
According to Peter David, the next time the rift opened, Federation is
|
||
involved in the Klingo-Romulan war... Assuming the events in THE RIFT
|
||
occured soon after ST5:TFF, which is in 2286, 2286+33.4 = 2319 or
|
||
2320. As NCC-1701-C was destroyed in 2345... The war sure lasted a
|
||
long time!
|
||
|
||
In the episode TNG:Unification, Spock hinted at the fate of Kirk and
|
||
company. On page 118 of the novelization, Spock said, "It was I who
|
||
asked Kirk to lead that peace mission [to the Klingons]. And I who had
|
||
to accept the responsibility for the consequences to him and his crew.
|
||
Quite simply, I am unwilling to risk anyone's life but my own on this
|
||
occasion..." On page 119 of the novelization, Spock said, "In your
|
||
own way, you are as stubborn as another captain of the ENTERPRISE I
|
||
once knew."
|
||
|
||
From the statements, it could be inferred that NCC-1701-A, with Kirk
|
||
onboard, was lost during a peace initiative by Spock to the Klingon Empire.
|
||
Of course, this is not official, but could be inferred upon. Since McCoy
|
||
and Spock survived, it is obviously they were not onboard at that time.
|
||
Whether other of the famous crew survived would be up to the writers.
|
||
|
||
Which raises the question whether Spock ever took captaincy of the
|
||
NCC-1701-A... Probably not, at the present progression. It is likely
|
||
that after the loss of Kirk, Spock quit his StarFleet commission and
|
||
became a diplomat, as we saw Ambassador Spock in TNG.
|
||
|
||
For more detailed analysis of the fate of NCC-1701-A, see my essay on
|
||
"Fate of Kirk".
|
||
|
||
A previous version of this essay/timeline stated that EXCELSIOR was
|
||
destroyed. This was found to be incorrect. TNG Tech Manual stated that
|
||
"Indeed, EXCELSIOR herself ultimately proved to be a distinguished part
|
||
of the Starfleet" on page 4. NCC-1701-B is EXCELSIOR-class. I stated
|
||
EXCELSIOR II class because the design is modified so normal warp drive
|
||
is used, not transwarp.
|
||
|
||
The launch date of the NCC-1701-B and C are estimated.

|
||
|
||
The destruction date of the NCC-1701-C was provided by Data in the
|
||
alternate timeline TNG:YESTERDAY'S ENTERPRISE, as having disappeared "22
|
||
years, three months, and four days ago". Leaving the odd fractions
|
||
behind, and noting that the episode is in the fourth season, the year is
|
||
2364+3-22=2345, which is confirmed by TNG Tech Manual.
|
||
|
||
NCC-1701-D was commissioned in 2363. Previously this was thought to
|
||
be 2364, which Data specifically stated OED year in TNG:THE NEUTRAL ZONE,
|
||
a first season episode. However, the TNG Tech Manual specifically
|
||
stated the date of October 4th, 2363.
|
||
|
||
NOVA-class is given in TNG Tech Manual. While we haven't decided on
|
||
which of the designs to take, the entry is included.
|
||
|
||
That's all for now... If there are any comments about this, I am
|
||
reachable through PC-Link, America On-line, and Promenade. Or, if you
|
||
prefer, through the US Mail service. Address is at the front of this
|
||
essay. Till then, happy trekkin'!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
|
||
|
||
Q: Can I travel up or down, in that axis? Can I travel in all
|
||
conceivable direction? Kraig Mottar
|
||
|
||
A: Space is somewhat spherical, and you have often heard
|
||
Picard and others call out directions in this format. 23
|
||
mark 57. This equates to two compasses turned at right
|
||
angles to each other. A heading of 0 mark 0 would be
|
||
toward the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
|
||
|
||
Q: I recently heard of Gene's death, and I would like to
|
||
express my condolances to his family. How can I do this?
|
||
|
||
A: Send all cards, letters, and whatever to the address
|
||
below.

||

|
||
|
||
Q: I am having some problems with the warp scale for the Next
|
||
Generation. What is the problem with attaining warp 10?
|
||
Joseph Smith.
|
||
|
||
A: This is very complicated, and I don't know the real answer
|
||
myself, so I will post two rumors, and let you select
|
||
the one you like the best.
|
||
|
||
A. It takes an infinite amount of power, and warps
|
||
space too much, so the ship would literaly be
|
||
every where at the same time (infinite velocity).
|
||
|
||
B. It takes an infinite amount of power to attain warp
|
||
10, but Warp 10 is not infinite velocity.
|
||
|
||
Naturally, I believe the later.
|
||
|
||
Q: Where do you get all of your Trek information. You were
|
||
the first one to say that Star Trek 6 was to be released
|
||
December 6th when everyone said December 13th. You were
|
||
right, and I would like to know how you knew. Brian Jones
|
||
|
||
A: I read 6 Star Trek conferences on a daily basis, I am also
|
||
a member of three Star Trek Fan clubs. I am nothing
|
||
special. I just pass along rumors to others.

I have been a fan of Star Trek since 1967, and I am a serious
|
||
trekker. In fact, I read 6 Star Trek conferences, and host
|
||
three of them.
|
||
|
||
I host the Intelec, Smart Net, and Lite Link Star Trek
|
||
conferences. I participate in the U,NI net, Ilink, and RIME
|
||
Star Trek conferences as well. If you have access to any of
|
||
these nets, leave a message to Bill Lambdin, and I will get
|
||
back to you.
|
||
|
||
I am dedicating this publication in memory of Gene
|
||
Roddenberry, and to his ideals for the future.
|
||
|
||
I hope to publish this publication on a bi-monthly basis to
|
||
start. If the Trekkers support this, it may move to a monthly
|
||
schedule.
|
||
|
||
Live long and prosper.
