To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before...

Chapter 2:

The year is 1877, Laura and Carrie Ingalls have fallen into a hole while chasing a butterfly, and termites have taken over.

Continuing on the USS Enterprise, Q has been telling Captain Picard and the crew about what is happening. Q holds back from telling Captain Picard, and the crew that since Captain Kirk and his crew lost their minds Starfleet would have reacted by shutting down. An investigative panel would have determined that space travel would have been too costly to human life to let the stress of it ruin good men and women by making them go out of their minds. Q had no choice other than what he did because in more ways than one the USS Enterprise would not have existed within moments and unless things are fixed in space and time the USS Enterprise will not exist again! So Q gave them Conestoga wagons for the Prairieville Planet because that's what the inhabitants use.

The Crew of the USS Enterprise is stranded on Prairieville, Michael Knight and K.I.T.T who's tires have been eaten through by the peoples known as the Brrr Zurnks. Q is there with the group. Laura and Carrie Ingalls have fallen in the ground with the sound of the termites people and have vanished from space and time. Zalara would have died because she had no hope when she needed it. Zalara never would have gotten Laura Ingalls ancient Bible because history changed. The termites ruined the stability of everything.

*****. *****. *****. *****. *****. ******

Now back to our story. Michael Knight and K.I.T.T get acquainted with the USS Enterprise Crew and Q. Q explains, ''We are here to deal with the termites." Q turns to Michael Knight and adds, ''You have a special car and all mankind in history depends on it. The Brrr Zurnks have a space/time armoured vehicle that will rampage farther into space and time and destroy everything, even the continuum. It was said to you Mr. Knight that, 'one man can make a difference.' It has been left to you and your car to make that difference."

Michael says, ''The termite people ate through K.I.T.T's tires, they need to be fixed."

"Mr. Data," Q begins, "Mechanic work is not in my line but if I tell you where the materials are and the mathematical calculations to restore K.I.T.T's tires could you use the computer systems in K.I.T.T to manufacture new tires?"

''Yes, I can certainly try," Mr. Data responds.

"Mr. Data, I suppose that makes us like cousins," K.I.T.T states.

''I am honored to work on you, K.I.T.T perhaps it was you that led to the creation of me," Mr. Data answers.

Mr. Data goes to work on K.I.T.T. After 2hrs, Mr. Data gets K.I.T.T back in tip top shape, and not a moment too soon. Just as the last lug nut is being tightened on K.I.T.T they all hear a horrible roar and the sound of termites. They look to the Southwest where the sound is coming from and there it is the armoured space/time vehicle, zipping through the inhabitants and eating away the wooden Prairie Town buildings.

"Michael," K.I.T.T says, "Get in."

Michael gets in and asks, "Ok, Buddy, what are it's weak points?"

K.I.T.T replies, "It has none. It's worse than the mighty semi Goliath, but more than that, it knows how to weaken and destroy us." "

"K.I.T.T, buddy, I can't ask you to sacrifice yourself on my command," Michael says.

''I understand, Michael, but we are the hope for space and time. No sacrifice for good is ever in vain. Lives depend on us," K.I.T.T replies.

"I was hoping you'd feel that way. Ok, we can't out fight it we have to out smart it." Michael says.

"Remember David and Goliath? 'I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts', in 1st Samuel 17:45," K.I.T.T points out.

"Yeah, Buddy, yeah, God go with us," Michael replies.

The face off, The fight, The watching. The armoured vehicle fires on K.I.T.T. K.I.T.T out maneuvers and it fires again, K.I.T.T swerves.

"K.I.T.T, did you see that reflective rock structure to our left?" Michael asks.

"Yes, Michael," K.I.T.T answers.

"Head there," Michael instructs.

They head to the rock structure and face the vehicle.

"K.I.T.T, calculate its firing time span and a few seconds before be ready to turbo boost," Michael explains his plan of action.

"Ten seconds before it fires at us," K.I.T.T replies.

''NOW!" Michael yells.

The armoured vehicle fires, K.I.T.T turbo boosts. The armoured vehicle firing reflects back on it and it is destroyed. The planet shakes. Q goes into a spasmatic fit. Time and space are being reshuffled around.

"Captain's Log - Stardate 07023 - Thank God we have been able to and I quote Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile..." Captain Kirk's voice from the past is hard.

Q comes out of his fit, "Part of the restoration is occurring."

"Look, counselor Troi points to the sky, the planet Pecan Grove and its inhabitants are coming back and the thrill of joy is so strong, I can feel it!"
