Thanks to Darth Maitimo, Abiblophobia, and Thalion Estel for reviewing! :D
Captain's log, stardate unknown. During a fluoride storm, my landing party has beamed back to the Candyprise and found it and the personnel aboard changed. The ship is subtly altered physically. Behaviour and discipline has become all to much like a dental office.
[Transporter room]
SPORK:
Mister Scott, the storm has caused some minor damage in your section. There are also teeth requiring your attention, Doctor. Captain, do you feel any abnormal effects?
KIRK:
Yes. Doctor McCoy, you'd better look us over. That was a rough beam-up.
MCCOY:
Teeth? What teeth?
SPORK:
You have teeth to brush.
MCCOY:
Why, I don't brush teeth! I'm a candymaker, not a torturer!
KIRK: (interrupting)
Mister Spork, have those transporter circuits checked. (They leave)
[Corridor]
SCOTT:
Captain, what is all this?
UHURA:
How did we get in these dental suits?
KIRK:
Not now. Not now. I do not know.
[Sickbay]
MCCOY:
What is this? Everything's all messed up and changed around, out of place. This looks like a orthodontist's place! Look at all the toothpaste over there, there's some floss here...
UHURA:
Captain, what's happened?
MCCOY:
No, not everything is in place. That spot, I spilt carmel there a year ago. It was so sticky, it never came off! Jim, What in blazes is this?
KIRK:
I don't know. It's our Candyprise but it isn't. Maybe
UHURA:
Maybe what, Captain?
KIRK:
Any of you feel dizzy when we were in the transporter beam?
UHURA:
Yes.
SCOTT:
Aye.
KIRK:
When we first materialised.
SCOTT:
I did.
KIRK:
It happened twice. First we were in our own transporter chamber, then we faded, and then when we finally materialised, we were here. Wherever this is.
SCOTT:
Captain, the transporter chief mentioned a surge of power. The transporter lock might have been affected by the fluoride storm and we just materialised somewhere else.
KIRK:
Yes, here. Not our universe, not our ship. Something parallel. A parallel universe co-existing with ours on another dimensional plane. Everything's duplicated, almost. Another Candyprise. Spork with a beard. Spork speaking of McCoy needing to brush teeth.
UHURA:
Another Captain Kirk, another Doctor McCoy, another
MCCOY:
An exchange. If we're here
KIRK:
Then our counterparts must have been transporting up at the exact same time. Similar storms on both universes disrupted the circuits. We're here, and they're on our Candyprise. Probably asking the same questions. Are we in another universe, and if so, how do we get back to our own? They'll use the computer, and we have to.
MCCOY:
What about the Halkans? We can't let their teeth be brushed. They will send down the armies of dentists.
KIRK:
Scotty, can you buy me some time? Get below and short out the transporter. They'll think the storm blew the stand-by circuits after we were beamed aboard.
SCOTT:
Aye, sir.
KIRK:
Then get on this technology. It's all we have to work with if we want to get back home. The intercom may be monitored. Use your communicators for private messages. Subfrequency and scramble.
SCOTT:
Aye, sir.
(Scott leaves)
KIRK:
Lieutenant.
UHURA:
Yes, sir.
KIRK:
Get to your post. Run today's communication from Chocolatefleet Command. I want to know my exact orders and options, if any.
UHURA:
Yes, sir.
KIRK:
Bones.
UHURA:
Captain, I'm
KIRK:
Uhura, you're the only one who can do it. I'll be right there. Watch out for these dentists.
UHURA:
Yes, sir.
(She leaves.)
KIRK:
Bones. Let's take a look at the library. We have a lot to learn about these dentists.
Errmm, I know this is kind of lame, but I would still love a review. And constructive criticism and ideas are always welcome. :D
