Space the final frontier. These are the voyages of the United Starship Microprize.

It's forever mission, to explore strange new code. To seek out life in new compilations. To boldy code what nobody has

coded before!

Gates Trek....

(picture cool theme music that nobody will get out of their head for billions of years!)

Captain's log. Stardate A100.2000.1223.BFED and a half.

We are looking at what appears to be a "DingDong" Apple Cruiser.

Klaxons sound. Lights flash. People run about with arms flailing. The occasional set piece falls on the ground.

"Keppin keppin."

"Try again in English Hotty"

"WHAT?!"

"Sorry, I was thinking about that 'alien' I enountered last night."

"Stop that! We all know you've copulated enough to populate the ENTIRE universe... and then some... STOP Bragging!"

"Sorry... hee hee.... Mr Blotto, what is the problem."

"Aside from the fact that I drank too much stuff that was 'Green', we're stuck in a time loop, I've Tribbles eating

EVERYTHING in site, computers crashing, Dead aliens in the hallway... No no no... nothing REALLY to say now that you

mention."

"Ok ... so all in all a 'normal' day?"

"Aye, well 'cept for the dilithium crystals."

"What is it with them this time. Worn out. They need regeneration? We have overused them. We need to make an

Antimatter bomb? What?"

"Well... it's a wee problem."

"What Mr. Blotto?"

"Uhhh....welll.....you see.....They've been virtualized."

....

"Try again Mr. Blotto?"

"Virtualized.... You know, converted to computer virtual environment..."

"Yes yes yes...I know all about it.... Why I remember this female crewmember who was in a virtual suite with me..."

"KEPPIN!"

"...Oh sorry... So the Dilithium crystals have been virtualized."

"Yes"

"So 'un-virtualize' them. Seems pretty obvious to me. It's even written in the script."

"Well I would except that the 'De-virtual' program is still in Beta testing and we didn't pay the script writer.

So...we...er... don't actually have an answer written."

"WHAT!? You didn't pay the scriptwriter?!?! Are you mad?!"

"It wasn't me Keppin. It was Mr. Pock."

"Pock?"

"Yes sir!"

"Why didn't you pay the script writer?"

"Well it didn't seem 'logical'."

"Cut that out, that's a rip off from somebody else. That 'Nimoy' guy."

"Well no it isn't. I thought if we pay the scriptwriter, I can't afford to get my new Quadcore this month."

"...Ugh... illogical Mr Pock... illogical as always..."

"Thank you sir. May I leave and pursue silly endeavours?"

"Yes you may. Oh boy and I stressed."

"Bums here."

"... You know if one more crewmember appears with a name a little close to a certain Sci-fi series, we're going to get

sued."

"Shut up. I'm a doctor not a lawyer."

"... and a really bad doctor at that. How did you get your medical license again?"

"Brain dumps. I studied brain dumps!"

"... As I figured. Ok people we have a problem here. The acting is bad, the punch lines are getting weak and the lack of

creative names is getting to be a bit of an issue. Plus Paramount's Lawyers are on the line."

*** GASP ***

The entire crew suddenly realizes what they need is an unsolveable predicament. (Which they already should have

considering the complete and lack of plot, cohesion, story line, script writer and apparently even a link to the beginning

story part.... Didn't this start with the suggestion of a "funny computerish thing?)

*/*/*/ Overact modem on FULL \*\*\*

"What...we...need...here......is a problem." The captain stammers horribly as if unable to breath.

"Illogical Captain, we have a very BIG problem." Mr. Pock states.

"Dammit I'm a doctor not a script-writer!"

"....Aye... gimme some more green stuff.... " Slurs the chief engineer.

"Pock! What...if we were to....no....this is just impossible."

"Captain, the odds of impossibility are not there. However it could be highly improbable..."

"Yes....Pock...THAT'S IT! We need to do something...completely improbable. Something nobody has EVER thought of

before..."

"No... you can't mean."

"Acting lessons. We need to take...ACTING LESSONS. And possibly hire a good script writer. This unpaid one just isn't

working out."

"Captain?"

"Yes Mr. Pock?"

"Might I suggest we also send the chief engineer to 'AA'?"

"Logical as always Mr. Pock. Logical as always."
