After dealing with the Cardassian last time, the Enterprise crews feel
good and extended their party in Ten Forward 'cuz it is usual that after
a disaster, the next one will only come after a while. Unfortunately,
this time a while means, a few minutes ...

< Scene >: The Enterprise travelling slowly
Picard: (voice) Captain's log, stardate 10010.00. After finished
dealing with the Cardassian Gul Wilgates, the Enterprise
crews continue their on going party.

|
|
| < Scene >: Ten Forward |
| (Picard talking to Guinan, with Beverly) |
| Data: |
|
(voice) Data to Captain Picard. |
| Picard: |
|
What is it, Commander? |
| Data: |
|
(voice) I have detected some energy patterns again! |
| Picard: |
|
It can't be! |
| Data: |
|
(voice) Yes it is. |
| Picard: |
|
Data, it may be just some energy trails left after we've
destroyed that Cardassian attack cruiser. It's nothing! |
| Data: |
|
(voice) Sir, may I ask how can you be so sure? |
| Picard: |
|
This is what the contract says! A new episode in next week,
period! Now Data, if you'd excuse me, I have something want to
discuss with Guinan. Picard out! |
| (suddenly, Picard's beamed away from Ten
Forward) |
|
|
| < Scene >: Outsides Ten Forward |
| Picard: |
|
Wha ... What happened!? (hit comm-batch) Picard to Commander
Data, is anything wrong? |
| Data: |
|
(voice) No Sir. Except those energy patterns. Is everything
alright, Sir? |
| Picard: |
|
Is there anything wrong on the transporters? |
| Data: |
|
(voice) Transporters? Can you be more specific, Sir? |
| Picard: |
|
I was suddenly beamed outside Ten Forward! Damn it! Data, why
can't you just run a level one diagnostic on the transporter
systems!? |
| Data: |
|
(voice) I am checking Sir ... Nothing wrong Sir, our
transporter systems are functioning normally. |
| Picard: |
|
Then how do you explain my unauthorized transportation!? |
| Data: |
|
(voice) Unauthorized, Sir? |
| Picard: |
|
Yes! I was beamed outside Ten Forward you idiot! I told you
just a few seconds ago! Are you playing attention to me at
all!? |
| Data: |
|
(voice) I am Sir! Besides, you told me that 1 minute and
13.2904 seconds ago, not just a few seconds. |
| Picard: |
|
Damn it! (pause) Ok Data, then why am I outside Ten Forward
now? |
| Data: |
|
(voice) From the transporters' log, you authorized it
Sir! |
| Picard: |
|
Me!? Are you nuts!? Why did I wanna left Ten Forward? I was
being funny in there, Beverly and Guinan laughed at all my
jokes! I could have score tonight! |
| Data: |
|
(voice) When you said "Picard out!", you have authorized the
transport Sir! It is simply the voice command systems on the
ship. You know it. |
| Picard: |
|
Wha ... Then why didn't this happened when I said that before?
People heard me said that thousand of times after a
conversation! |
| Data: |
|
(voice) That is on TV, Sir! You are really on the Enterprise
now. Besides, may I suggest you not to say ... that ...
casually from now on, because "out" might cause the
transporters beam you out of the Enterprise in space. |
| Picard: |
|
That's alright Mr. Data. (whispering) Stupid ship! |
| Ship's Computer: |
|
(voice) < Honk > < Honk >, I heard that! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Ten Forward |
| (Picard steps in, Beverly and Guinan approach
him) |
| Beverly: |
|
Are you ok, Jean Luc? |
| Picard: |
|
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just some problem with the voice command
systems. So, where were we? ... |
| Data: |
|
(voice) Bridge to Captain Picard! |
| Picard: |
|
Yes Commander! |
| Data: |
|
(voice) 5 Jem'Hadar attack ships are approaching us in warp
speed! |
| Picard: |
|
The Jem'Hadar!? Are you sure? |
| Data: |
|
(voice) Excellent performance, cool ship designs, beautiful
looking sweet ride. How can I mistake it? |
| Picard: |
|
Oh man! Not another cheap cross-over episode! (hit comm-batch)
All senior officers report to the Bridge immediately! |
| (Picard heading to the door) |
| Data: |
|
(voice) Sir, if this is so urgent, why do you not use the
transporters to beam yourself up here? |
| Picard: |
|
Get real Data. There's an hour we have to waste in every
episode. If we use transporter everytime, how do we kill the
rest of the time, huh? |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| (Picard, Riker, Beverly, Troi, Geordi, Worf and
Wesley steps in) |
| Picard: |
|
Report Mr. Data. |
| Data: |
|
I have told you already that 5 Jem'Hadar attack ships are
approaching! You know what? That is the exact reason why our
ship's communication methods are not efficient at all! Too
many redundant reports and PADD works! Geez! |
| Picard: |
|
Oh! Excuuuuuuuuuuse me! Lieutenant Commander Data! I thought
the reason is there're too many "is not" instead of
"isn't"! |
| Riker: |
|
Alright! Holds it! Take it easy! Whew! Can you just simply let
everyone else in here knows what's happened, Mr. Data? |
| Data: |
|
Oh Commaaaaaaaaander! I think it is my responsibility now to
tell all 1014 crew members what is going on! Can not you just
read our Intraship Web Site and get updated information!? |
| Riker: |
|
You stupid positronic moron! |
| Data: |
|
You 24th century Ko Ko! |
| Riker: |
|
I KICK YOUR ANDROID AXX! |
| Data: |
|
I UPLOAD YOU! |
| Wesley: |
|
Come on! Command Riker, Command Data! We are family! |
| Data: |
|
I think the Captain said "All senior officers report to the
Bridge". Since when are you a senior officer, huh? Acting
Ensign! |
| Beverly: |
|
Hey! Stop teasing my boy! |
| Worf: |
|
SHUT UP!!!! OR I HAVE ALL OF YOU REMOVED FROM THE BRIDGE! |
| (everyone keep quiet) |
| Worf: |
|
Captain! 5 Jem'Hadar attack ships're approaching. |
| Picard: |
|
Mr. Data? |
| Data: |
|
They will enter weapons range in 2 minutes and 9.3922 seconds
Sir. |
| Riker: |
|
Why are the Jem'Hadar heading to us? Shouldn't they deal with
DS9? Is it because of Gul Wilgates? |
| Picard: |
|
The Cardassian used to deal with the Dominion, it is highly
possible that Gul Wilgates is related to the Jem'Hadar. |
| Worf: |
|
They're charging weapons. |
| Riker: |
|
Shields up! Red alert! |
| Picard: |
|
Options! |
| Geordi: |
|
Our shields're down, we only have about 52 percent of shields
power now. |
| Picard: |
|
Can we go into warp now? |
| Geordi: |
|
There're still hull breaches in Deck 32, I don't think the
structural integrity field generators are working. |
| Riker: |
|
We can't hide and we can't run. What shall we do? |
| Picard: |
|
What about our weapon systems? |
| Worf: |
|
All weapons are operational. |
| Riker: |
|
We can fight! Woo hoo! |
| Data: |
|
May I remind you Sir. There are 5 Jem'Hadar attack ships out
there. It is possible that we can disable 2 of them before the
Enterprise is destroyed by the others. |
| Worf: |
|
They're within weapons range! |
| Picard: |
|
Mr. Worf! Target the ship at front, fire all weapons! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Outer space, Enterprise fired phasers
and torpedos at the first Jem'Hadar
attack ship and destroyed it, the
other Jem'Hadar ships deformed |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| Worf: |
|
One Jem'Hadar attack ship destroyed. |
| Riker: |
|
We fired on them without warnings. Isn't it against the
regulations? |
| Picard: |
|
You know what Number One? After "The Generation" I've learned
something from Admiral Kirk: "Regulations? What
regulations?". |
| (screen shaking) |
| Worf: |
|
We're hitted! Shields're down to 42 percent! |
| Picard: |
|
Ensign Crusher! Do you know the Picard Maneuver? |
| Wesley: |
|
(happy and excited) Wow! Yes Sir! Of course Sir! |
| Picard: |
|
Then do it! |
| Wesley: |
|
Alright! |
| Worf: |
|
One Jem'Hadar ship heading to us! |
| Picard: |
|
Wesley now! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Outer space, the Enterprise isn't
moving at all and taken all the phaser
blasts from the Jem'Hadar ship. |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| (a science station explodes, one guy down) |
| Worf: |
|
Shields're down to 30 percent! I'm firing! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Outer space, Enterprise fires on a
Jem'Hadar ship and destroyed it |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| Worf: |
|
Another Jem'Hadar ship destroyed. |
| Picard: |
|
Damn you Wesley! What were you thinking!? |
| Wesley: |
|
I was trying to figure out how to perform a Picard
Maneuver. |
| Picard: |
|
But you said you know it! |
| Wesley: |
|
Yes I know what it is! But it doesn't mean that I know how to
do it! Besdies, look at my title: Acting Ensign. I'm just
"acting" like an ensign here! Not a real one! |
| Picard: |
|
Number One, you take the helm. Doctor, please take your boy to
his quarter. |
| (Beverly takes Wesley to the turbo lift, Riker takes
the helm console) |
| (screen shaking, another science station explodes
and another guy down) |
| Worf: |
|
Shields're down to 19 percent! ... Captain! All phaser blanks
and torpedo launchers are off-line! |
| Picard: |
|
Mr. La Forge! |
| Geordi: |
|
I have to fix them in Engineering Sir! (runs to the turbo
lift) ... Damn! Dr. Crusher taken the turbo lift! I have to
wait 'til it's back! |
| Data: |
|
Bridge to Transporter room 4. Mr. O'Brien, beam Mr. La Forge
to Engineering immediately. (whispering) I am tired of these
time wasting techniques. |
| O'Brien: |
|
(voice) Aye Sir. |
| (Geordi beams away) |
| Worf: |
|
Sir! A Jem'Hadar ship is heading to us! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Outer space, a Jem'Hadar attack ship's
going to fire on the Enterprise. Then
a Klingon attack cruiser decloaked,
then fires on it and destroyed
it. |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| Picard: |
|
(smiles) Klingons! |
| Worf: |
|
Captain, General Motor is hailing us! |
| Picard: |
|
GM!? On screen! |
| Motor: |
|
There're Jem'Hadar all around! I'm out of here! |
| Picard: |
|
What!? Aren't you come to help!? |
| Motor: |
|
I was trying to hit the warp drive button but I hitted the
decloak switch. Then I tried to cloak again but nervously
hitted the weapon buttons. Now I'm out of here! |
| Worf: |
|
But you can't run! You're a Klingon warrior! You're General
Motor! |
| Motor: |
|
Yes! I'm General Motor! Do you know what "General" means? It
means regular! I'm not a warrior! Motor out! |
| Worf: |
|
Sir, the Klingon attack cruiser has cloaked and ran away! |
| Riker: |
|
Now's 2 to 1, but we don't even have weapons! |
| Troi: |
|
Captain! |
| Picard: |
|
Pain? |
| Troi: |
|
No! Have you ever considered hailing them or send a sub-space
distress signal to Starfleet? I didn't recall a single time
the Enterprise sending distress call. |
| Picard: |
|
We can't send distress call because this is the Enterprise, it
doesn't come with distress call feature. But we can still hail
them. Mr. Worf! |
| Worf: |
|
Channel's opened. |
| Picard: |
|
This is Captain Jean Luc Picard of the Federation starship
Enterprise. Attacking Jem'Hadar vessels, please stay your
reasons for attacking us. |
| Data: |
|
Remind you Sir. We are basically at war! |
| (screen shaking) |
| Worf: |
|
Shields're gone! We are defenceless! |
| Picard: |
|
A Very good answer. (pause) Jem'Hadar ships, we sur... |
| Worf: |
|
Captain! Phasers're back on line! |
| Picard: |
|
What are you waiting for!? |
| Worf: |
|
It's slow charge Sir! (pause) Sir! The Jem'Hadar ships are
forming an attack! |
| Data: |
|
Sir! One more ship is decloaking ... It's the Defiant! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Outer space, Defiant decloaked and
breaks the Jem'Hadar's attack |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge (Enterprise) |
| Worf: |
|
Captain Sisko is hailing us! |
| Picard: |
|
On screen! |
| Sisko: |
|
It's about time Enterprise. We're just driving around and see
you guys having troubles! |
| Picard: |
|
So you are a Captain now? |
| Sisko: |
|
Last time I checked! |
| Picard: |
|
According to the time, should Mr. Worf working for you by now
and I'm flying the Enterprise E? |
| Sisko: |
|
Well, you know. It's just another cheap cross-over episode
done by Paramount. |
| (Sisko's screen shaking) |
| Odo: |
|
(voice) Shields're down to 37 percent! |
| Sisko: |
|
I think we have to stop chatting and fight! |
| Picard: |
|
But 37 percent!? Aren't you just decloaked? |
| Sisko: |
|
That's what it means, a cheap cross-over episode. |
| (Main viewer off) |
| Picard: |
|
We gotta do something. The 2 Jem'Hadar ships are attacking the
Defiant now! |
| Riker: |
|
That's great! We can run! Let the Defiant die! |
| Picard: |
|
No Number One! We can't do that! |
| Riker: |
|
Yeah that Prime Directive. Damn that Prime Directive! |
| Picard: |
|
No! Absolutely not! The Prime Directive never mention that. If
I can I'll definitely leave the Defiant here and run away, but
our warp drive is down! |
| Data: |
|
Captain! |
| Picard: |
|
I know it's time either Data will think of something or Q will
show up because we've kill enough time for this episode
already. What is it Mr. Data? |
| Data: |
|
According to my records, every time when more than 2 ships
explodes approximately at the same time, it will create a
space-time distortion and bring us back to the beginning. By
using this approach, we can simply change course to avoid the
Jem'Hadar ships. |
| Picard: |
|
Good thinking Mr. Data! |
| Riker: |
|
But we did't have warp power back then, we still can't run,
what shall we do about this? |
| Picard: |
|
I have a plan Number One. The probelm I'm concerning now is
how can we cause 2 ships explodes? |
| Riker: |
|
We can set auto-destruct. But what about the Defiant? |
| Troi: |
|
Why don't we just tell them our plan? |
| Picard: |
|
No, Sisko won't agree 'cuz he's jealous. He don't even has a
chance to show his face on the big screen. He won't let us
explode his ship that early. |
| Data: |
|
Sir! Remember last time how we destroyed an entire Klingon
fleet? |
| Picard: |
|
Yes! Of course Mr. Data! Let me ... |
| Riker: |
|
Oh no you don't! I'm at the helm now. |
| Picard: |
|
Alright Number One, you have fun. |
| Riker: |
|
Ok! All hands brace for impact! Wee.......! |
|
|
| < Scene >: Outer space, the Entrprise run right
into the Defiant and both ship
explodes. Time's back |
|
|
| < Scene >: Main Bridge |
| Picard: |
|
Well done Number One! |
| Riker: |
|
Thank you! It's my pleasure to total both the Enterprise and
the Defiant all at the same time! |
| Troi: |
|
So now we can even tell General Motor and Captain Sisko to
change course so as to avoid intercepting the Jem'Hadar's
ships! |
| Picard: |
|
Thank you Counsellor. Mr. Worf, send a sub-space signal to
General Motor and tell him to set course to 270-mark-000. Then
send another sub-space signal to the Defiant and tell them to
set course bearing 005-Mark-017. |
| Worf: |
|
Aye Sir. ... Captain, the course for General Motor is alright;
but the course for the Defiant will cause them to intercept
the Jem'Hadar ships even much more faster! |
| Picard: |
|
Oh, isn't it? Oops! |
| Riker: |
|
Let the Defiant to intercept the Jem'Hadar ships faster to
buy us the time we needed to escape, even without warp power.
You are wise Captain! |
| Picard: |
|
Learn Number One. And also get even with Sisko, remember that
cranky call he initiated last time? Let me tell you something
Number One. It's not that easy to keep your axx on this chair
for over 7 years. |
| Riker: |
|
Agree Sir. |
| Picard: |
|
Mr. Data, activate the long range sensors and let me monitor
the Defiant's progress. Number One, set course to Deep Space
Nine so that we can bring in the news. |
| Riker: |
|
(smiling) Course set Sir. |
| Picard: |
|
Full impulse, engage. |
|
|
