"Meteor shower up ahead, captain!" Spock said in his usual emotionless tone.
"Up ahead, eh? Well I'll have to hand the driving over to Sulu!" Kirk spoke commandingly.
"You mean we're not going back to Earth, captain?" questioned Chekov "These showers are wery dangerous, the first ship to get through one was commanded by a Wussian!"
"Turn back to Earth after all the days we've been travelling? No! Star base command wants us to meet the U.S.S. Cuckoo in 17 hours, we will be there!"
"Are you sure this is wise, captain?" questioned Spock.
"Of course I'm sure! Are you questioning my authority?" Kirk snapped to his full height in an undignified manner and drew one of his cheesy I'm the boss here grins.
"No, captain. I am merely pointing out that the logical way to proceed would be-"
"We're going into that meteor shower! Any questions?" Uhura opened her mouth to say something but Kirk butted in "Good! Sulu, manual steering!"
Sulu pressed a deep blue button on his flashing control pad and had a look of astonishment on his face as a 20th century steering wheel came out. (Trust it to be 20th century). Kirk just ignored him and Sulu started jerking the wheel about this way and that. The Enterprise set off into the meteor shower. The ship swerved in and out of the meteors like Kirk when he does ballet (you should see him). But unlike Kirk when he does ballet the Enterprise made a mistake (Kirk's a grade 5 by the way) by misjudging the speed of a rock about half the size of the Enterprise which was coming their way. SMASH!
"Engines are seizing up, captain. We're going to crash!" spoke Scotty into Kirk's ear.
"I can steer her towards an unmapped area, there seems to be a large rock which is about the size of Earth!"
"34179 km, 28m, 4cm and 2mm less in diameter to be precise."
"Shut up Spock!" screamed Kirk in an agitated manner.
"It could be a planet- or a meteor; we will have to rely on luck!" Finished Sulu… boy he hated Spock for going off the script!
The thing about the crew of the Enterprise is they have an awful lot of luck (apart from the redshirts), so undoubtedly the 'rocky mass' was a planet which had all the right things: the right type of air to breathe, water (or some sort of non-poisonous liquid) to drink and food (edible) to eat. Just their luck. But I did say the redshirts weren't very lucky. No, they weren't very lucky at all, so it fits the bill that when the enterprise landed that most of the ship was impaled on a giant spike which just happened to be there. Note that I say most of the ship, for the bridge is intact and the heroes haven't even got a scratch (it was the makeup person's day off).
"Scotty! McCoy! They were down in sickbay and Engineering!" Kirk shouted with despair. Now, Kirk shouted because the camera was so far away.
"Ye be talking about us wee lads?" Scotty asked, followed by McCoy, "McCoy and I miraculously decided to come to the bridge, we entered just as it crashed!
"But Jim, I've found a problem" McCoy's face turned stonily pale. "I don't know how to put this…"
Heh heh heh! I can't be bothered to type more up! :p please review, and TRY to guess what McCoy is going to say!
