Star Trek Meets Lord of the Rings
Chapter 2
Frodo and Sam are just sitting down to wine and cheese with Faramir and Co. when this awful
crashing noise shakes the cave.
"I thought you said we were safe here!" screams Frodo. "You traitor! You only want the ring for
yourself!"
"Of course I do! Uh, I mean, I said no such thing! As a matter of fact, you are totally unsafe
here! So unsafe that I can smell the breath of Sauron right now!" Faramir screams back. They
start arguing rather loudly.
"Uh, you guys," Sam breaks in, "Don't kill each other, OK? That wasn't the hordes of Mordor
crashing on our roof."
"OK smart guy," says Frodo, "What was it then?"
"Uh - uh, uh, and also, that wasn't the breath of Sauron," says Sam.
"OK smart guy," says Faramir, "What was it then?"
"If I am not mistaken, that was the starship Enterprise crashing right next to us, spewing burning
jet fuel all over the place. So I suggest we get out of here RIGHT NOW," Sam says.
"Oh. OK then," Frodo and Faramir say in unison, and everybody makes a mad rush outside,
including Smeagol, who miraculously escaped from the pool where he was hiding. Sam manages
to throw a rope around his neck as he comes out.

Captain Picard is awake. He opens his eyes, and then closes them immediately. This was worse
than he'd thought it would be.
He feebly opens his eyes again and slowly rises to his feet. A nauseating smell hits him like a
cannon ball, causing him to reel backwards in the other direction. Jet fuel, he realizes, coming to
his senses. Burning jet fuel. How long had it been since starships used jet fuel?
Picard blacks out again.

Picard stays awake this time. He walks around. And then it hits him like a cannon ball. No, not
the smell this time, a sudden realization. A sudden, stunning realization. And it did not make
Captain Jean-Luc Picard at all very comfortable.
