(Comercial break ends...)

(Kirk and co. are in the Shuttle, in space. It flies off-center, and rather wobbly.)

Spock: I would like to note that it took five strips, on Mr. Scott's one, of duct tape to get this thing flying again.

Kirk: Noted, Spock. *looks out the window* Anyone seen Uhura?

Sulu: I think she's in the back.

(Uhura is, indeed, in the back. She's headbanging to the Beach Boys.)

Chekov: *wonders* The Beach Boys? At a time like this?

Sulu: Sir, we've got an email from Kahn!

Kirk: Onscreen!

("So, my old friend, you try to approach me by stealth? Well, don't worry, I'll find you...")

McCoy: Jim, that makes no sense!

Kirk: Why?

Spock: We are not approaching the Enterprise by stealth.

McCoy: ...damn halfbreed said it before I did.

Kirk: Then something must be malfunctioning! We can still win this! *looks proud* *strikes a pose*

(Everyone important averts their eyes in time, even Uhura, but an innocent Redshirt spots him and dies instantly.)

(They approach the Enterprise, wobbling along.)

Scotty: Y'mind if I turn on the Subspace Radio, sair? A Van Halen song's supposed to be...

Kirk: Scotty, we're facing my arch nemesis! Can we *tense quiet*, here?!

Scotty: *mumbles* Sorry, sair.

(They manage to dock, amazingly enough.)

McCoy: *mumbles, exiting* I hardly expected it to last that long.

(The shuttle falls apart, pieces rolling this way and that.)

Scotty: *sour* Gee, Dr. McCoy, thanks for jinxing it.

Kirk: Bones...

McCoy: *mumbles*

(They hurry down a corridor.)

Scotty: Sair, what about the --

Tribbles: *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak* *squeak*

Redshirt: *is swarmed* Aggghhhh!! *goes down*

McCoy: Jim, we're surrounded!
