A piece of dated humor, based on a ten-year-old commercial for KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut tying in with 'The Phantom Menace'

The Adverts

by Rob Morris

( We see the Bajoran Embassy on Earth. It is some years after the Dominion War. There is a large, proud statue of Benjamin Sisko )

Message : This is Planet Naboo! We are under assault!

( Sisko's statue comes to life. He transports onto the Defiant, and goes off at warp speed )

( We see Janeway dealing with yet another Voy-type situation. )

Message : This Is Planet Naboo....

( She runs for the Delta Flyer, and briefly risks Warp Ten, without ill effects. Sisko transports her aboard Defiant )

Janeway : Punch it.

( They make for Veridian III. A pile of rocks bursts out, revealing a revived Kirk. They transport him aboard Defiant )

Kirk : Let's Do This.

( They warp into the Star Wars Universe )

Luke Skywalker : Uh, Thanks. But you have to realize, my mother's message is now several decades old.

Sisko : Then our work here is done.

( They warp back )

Luke : Spare me, Force!

( Then, in the chamber, offering their help, are Connor, Duncan, and Quentin Macleod - The Highlanders )

Luke : It's just gonna be that kind of day, isn't it?

( Back in the ST U )

Kirk : Anyone for Chinese?
