In DS9, most of the time our good people are dealing with the
Cardassian. Let's have a look this time how does the Enterprise handle
them. Now continue ...
|
|
Picard: (voice) Captain's log, stardate 10009.00. A Cardassian
attack cruiser equiped with a Klingon's cloaking device
accuses the Enterprise is planning an attack on Cardassia.
I believe it's actually an excuse for Gul Wilgates to
attack us. And they are firing!

| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| (screen shaking) |
| Picard: |
|
Damage report! |
| Worf: |
|
Shields're holding ... No major damage. |
| Picard: |
|
Wilgates! Cease fire! Or we'll fight back! |
| (screen shaking) |
| Wilgates: |
|
Die, human! Die! |
| (screen shaking again) |
| Worf: |
|
Sir! Shields down to 93 percent! |
| Picard: |
|
Fire photon torpedos! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Outer space, Enterprise fires torpedos
at the Cardassian attack cruiser |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| Worf: |
|
Direct hit ... Their shields're holding. |
| Picard: |
|
Is it just me or our weapons aren't efficient at all? |
| Riker: |
|
That's why they call it a sci-fic. |
| (screen shaking) |
| Worf: |
|
Shields're down to 77 percent! |
| Data: |
|
I have an idea Sir. |
| Riker: |
|
No time for story, say it Data! |
| Data: |
|
Run. |
| Picard: |
|
Ensign, take us out of here! Maximum warp! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Outer space, Enterprise jumpped into
warp and the attack cruiser follows |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| Wesley: |
|
Sir! They are following us! |
| Picard: |
|
What's our warp speed? |
| Data: |
|
Warp 9 ... Warp 9.1 ... Warp 9.2 ... |
| Picard: |
|
What's the maximum warp speed of a Cardassian attack
cruiser? |
| Data: |
|
According to ship's database, warp 9.6 Sir. |
| Riker: |
|
Then we can out run them. |
| Data: |
|
We are now at warp 9.75 |
| Picard: |
|
Engineering, we need maximum warp speed! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Engineering |
| Geordi: |
|
Aye Captain! I'll do my best ... there you go! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| Data: |
|
We are now at warp 9.75 ... 9.8 ... 9.85 ... 9.9! |
| Picard: |
|
How long can we stay at maximum warp? |
| Data: |
|
Under the current ship's conditions, approximately 10 hours, 3
minutes and 17.2795 seconds Sir. |
| Riker: |
|
Their speed's just 9.6, they can't follow us. |
| Data: |
|
Sir, something strange is happening. |
| Picard: |
|
What is it, Data? |
| Data: |
|
The Cardassian ship is gaining on us! |
| Picard: |
|
How's that possible!? |
| Data: |
|
From my readings, they are travelling at warp 9.982. |
| Riker: |
|
Even a Federation ship can rarely travelling at that
speed! |
| Data: |
|
Except the Defiant Sir. |
| Picard: |
|
What are you saying, Data? They have a copy of cloaking device
from the Klingon and a warp drive from the Federation? |
| Data: |
|
I am not saying this Sir. I am suspecting. |
| Worf: |
|
Sir! Wilgates is hailing us! |
| (Picard and Riker share a look) |
| Picard: |
|
On screen! |
| Wilgates: |
|
Give it up, Enterprise! |
| Picard: |
|
Wilgates, where do you get your warp drive from? |
| Wilgates: |
|
Ha ha ...! From a friend of mine, who's working for the
Federation. |
| Data: |
|
Sir! ... I think ... they are scanning our ship. |
| Picard: |
|
What!? |
| Data: |
|
They are downloading our ship's database from our
computer. |
| Riker: |
|
How can they penetrate our shields? |
| Data: |
|
Intriguing! Their scanning signal has Romulan signature! |
| Picard: |
|
Wilgates, where in hell do you get that ship from!? A
Klingon's cloaking device, a Federation's warp drive and a
Romulan's scanning device? |
| Wilgates: |
|
The best ship ever! I'm fully loaded! I equiped with
everything! |
| Data: |
|
Captain! They are closing. |
| Wilgates: |
|
Ha ha! Enterprise, you can't run! |
| Worf: |
|
Captain! They're firing again! |
| (screen shaking) |
| Worf: |
|
Shields're down to 62 percent! |
| Picard: |
|
Return fire! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Outer space, Enterprise in warp and
fires some torpedos from its aft launcher |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| Worf: |
|
Direct hit! Their shields're holding. |
| Picard: |
|
Our weapons are only toys, why do I even care to fire? |
| (screen shaking) |
| Worf: |
|
Shields're down to 49 percent! |
| (screen shaking, a science station explodes and some
guy's down) |
| Worf: |
|
Shields're down to 33 percent! Hull breach on Deck 32 in the
Secondary Hull! |
| Riker: |
|
Damn! The structural integrity field generators! |
| Computer: |
|
(voice) Warning, structral integrity field failing. |
| Geordi: |
|
(voice) Captain, I have to shut down the warp engine now or we
could total lost the whole ship! |
| Picard: |
|
Ok, do it Mr. La Forge! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Outer space, Enterprise slow down and
the Cardassian attack cruiser stop in front of the
Enterprise |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| Picard: |
|
All stop Wesley. |
| Wesley: |
|
All stop Sir. |
| (screen shaking) |
| Worf: |
|
Shields're down to 19 percent! |
| Wilgates: |
|
Enterprise, it's time to surrender! |
| Picard: |
|
If the Enterprise is leading a fleet, why don't they show up
now and protect us? |
| Wilgates: |
|
Oh! It seems that I was wrong. So what!? Ha ha .... Surrender
Enterprise! |
| Picard: |
|
Ok! We sur... |
| Worf: |
|
(interrupt) Sir! A Klingon bird of prey and a Romulan war bird
is decloaking! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Outer space, behinds the Cardassian
attack cruiser, a Klingon bird of prey decloaked at
its left and a Romulan war bird at its right and
start firing on the Cardassian ship |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| Picard: |
|
Great! Mr. Worf! Join them! |
| Data: |
|
Sir, even 3 ships firing on the Cardassian ship, their ship's
shields are still holding. |
| Picard: |
|
How is it possible!? |
| Data: |
|
I have scanned their shields, and I have found some Ferengi's
signature. |
| Picard: |
|
Their ship is fully loaded! How can we beat them!? |
| Data: |
|
We wait Sir. |
| Picard: |
|
Data? |
| Data: |
|
I have found that their computer is loaded with an Windows
Stardate 10000.00 SP17 operating system which consumes huge
amount of memory. Soon enough, they have to reboot their
computer and their shields are down automatically. |
| Picard: |
|
When will that happen? |
| Data: |
|
According to my calculations, their ship will run out of
memory and disk space in approximately 1 minute and 29.3410
seconds. |
| Picard: |
|
Mr. Worf, acknowledge the Klingon and the Romulan vessel. |
| (Worf working on his console) |
| Picard: |
|
Anything we should know? |
| Data: |
|
As long as they are using Windows Stardate 10000.00 SP17,
their ship's operations can not be stable at all. Soon enough
it will experience serious disasters. And Captain, they are
rebooting their computer in 9 seconds ... 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2
... 1 ... |
| Picard: |
|
Mr. Worf! Fire all weapons! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Outer space, 3 vessels firing on the
Cardassian attack cruiser and it's becoming seriously
damaged |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| Worf: |
|
Their ship's experiencing several hull breaches. Their shields
can't get back up Sir. (pause) Gul Wilgates is hailing
us. |
| Picard: |
|
Tell the other 2 vessels to cease fire Mr. Worf, and put that
Wilgates on main viewer. |
| Wilgates: |
|
(hair as messy as a dork) It's not fair! 3 ships against 1!
You guys can't join force and against me! |
| Picard: |
|
Cardassian ships're not supposed to have Klingon's cloaking
devices, Romulan's scanners, Federation's warp drives and ...
Ferengi's shield? And I believe that's why the Klingon and the
Romulan is here joining us. |
| Wilgates: |
|
You can't just destroy me here! I demand a fair trial! |
| Picard: |
|
A fair trial? All right. First of all Wilgates, it is illegal
to manufacture all those devices by yourselves and put them
all on a single ship! It'll affect the others' competitive
power. |
| Wilgates: |
|
Under what law is that? |
| Picard: |
|
You're in Federation space, under our Prime Directive, back to
the days as early as the earth's 20th century! |
| Wilgates: |
|
It can't be! I have lawyers! It's absolutely legal! I'm simply
improving my ship and making it better! |
| Picard: |
|
But your ship computer's operating system doesn't seem
improving at all! |
| Data: |
|
Sir! (shows Picard the display on his console) |
| Picard: |
|
(look at Data's console, then smile) Gul Wilgates, just tell
me what is it showing on your system's display now? |
| Wilgates: |
|
It reads ... Illegal Operation ... No! ... No! ... No
...........! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Outer space, 3 vessels starts firing
on Gul Wilgates's ship again until it explodes, then
the Klingon bird of prey and the Romulan war bird
leaves |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| Picard: |
|
Well done Mr. Data. And I believe it's time to let you watch
my Bridge again, because ... (looks around and smiling) we
have a party to attend. |
| Data: |
|
Aye Sir. |
| (everyone except Data moving to the turbo lift) |
|
|
| < Scene >: The Enterprise leaves slowly |
