Act I: Blast From The Past

"Abruptly, the ship lurched wildly; Taelon caught himself on the side of the science console’s viewfinder, teetering at the edge of his chair. The old style of chair certainly didn’t have as many stops to it as the current ones did, he reflected. Now he knew why armrests were all the rage these days…" -Ensign Taelon

The USS Armstrong-A a proud ship that lives on in holonovels Following a wonderful awards ceremony the Crew of StarBase 118 Ops is invited to partake in a holoprogram called Piracy on the High Stars, an event planned to both celebrate Lt Commander Baylen Anders birthday, and allow the crew to have some well deserved relaxation. Suiting up in historical red uniforms, they board the holodeck and the holographic Constitution class USS Armstrong-A. As the program starts the Armstrong is hurtling towards the Klingon neutral zone, sabotaged by players in the game. It's a race to figure out who the traitors are before the ship is captured or destroyed by Klingons! The holo-game set 3 saboteurs: Theo Whittaker, Kaitlyn Falcon, and Freya Andersen. All three were known to one another, and all had the group mission of stealing a Klingon cloaking device. The crew is able to stop the warp drive on the runaway ship, but not before the Armstrong enters the neutral zone. Quickly the ship finds themselves face to face with Commander Kothos of the IKS Hk'Ger, demanding to know why they have violated the neutral zone. Dissatisfied with the crew's response Kothos kidnaps Commanding Officer Baylen Anders from the bridge, leaving the crew in turmoil. However, unbeknownst to the players this game is suddenly getting a lot more dangerous as an intoxicant leaks into the ventilation systems, causing the next parts of the program to go seriously awry...

Sal Taybrim: Klingon Confidant Kothos: Look Starfleet, I-- I-- I think you Are falsifying And I'm losing control 'Cause the excuses you're supplying They're horrifying! Taybrim: You better believe That I need to know If I can or can't trust you You better believe You better undergo Every test to show me true Nothing left Nothing left for me to do Chorus: A Klingon confidant!

Carter Greyson: Engineer Starfleetian I am the very model of an engineer Starfleetian, I've information Scotty, LaForge, and Tuckerian, I know the sting of drinking, and I quote the battles historical From Khan to Federation grew, in order categorical; I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical, I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical, About transwarp theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news, With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse. I'm very good at integral and differential calculus; I know the scientific names of beings dracunculus: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of an engineer Starfleetian. I know our prolific history, Captains Picard and Ben Sisko; I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for info, I quote in elegiacs all the lore of The Prophetus, In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous; I can tell undoubted Skyfires from Van Ghoughs and Zoffanies, I know the croaking chorus from The Oaths of Hippocrates! Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore, And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore. Then I can show a boxing skill in cyclonic firestorm, And tell you ev'ry detail of Janeway's uniform: In short, in matters Scotty, LaForge, and Tuckerian, I am the very model of an engineer Starfleetian. In fact, when I know what is meant by "transduction" and "plasmin", When I can tell at sight a phaser rifle from a javelin When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at, And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat", When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery, When I know more of tactics than a Reed in a Enterprisey – In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy – You'll say a better engineer Starfleetian has never sat as he For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury, Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century; But still, in matters Scotty, LaForge, and Tuckerian, I am the very model of an engineer Starfleetian. Sal Taybrim: Klingon Warrior Dreamin' Our uniforms are red And the ship is grey I went for a walk In a cargo bay Kothos was right there But then he pulled away Klingon warrior dreamin' On the Armstrong today Stopped off at a base We docked along the way Well I got down on my knees And I began to... ::And suddenly he trailed off. Base. Base? His mind clicked, slowly, rising out of the drunken fog. Starbase. Starbase... 118. His dark eyes widened::
