Act II Scene I – Ylum Bridge: Spock, Chekov, Wesley Crusher, Uhura and Ensign Johnson (at the science station - ).
Chekov: “Captain, we should be off before that bowl we smoked fully kicks in.â€
Wesley: “Is it wise to embark with the captain and the navigator both high?â€
Spock: “Indubitably. Set a course for the Neutral zone Mr. Chekov.â€
Chekov: “Course laid in…bwahhhahahhaha…I said laid…â€
Spock: “Yes, fascinating Mr. Chekov. Crusher, lean over and smack the “Engage†key.â€
Crusher: “Aye captain.â€
Spock: “So Chekov, where is the finest weed in the neutral zone?â€
Chekov: “Sector 6968…pfffft…bwahhahahahhaha…I said “69â€â€
Spock: “Mr. Crusher, lean over and make the course adjustment to sector 6968.â€
Crusher begins to lean, stalls, looks around, wordlessly lost in total confusion.
Uhura: “Um, captain, I don’t see how this helps our mission.â€
Spock: “Good point. Uhura, any subspace communications from sector 6968?â€
Uhura: “None.â€
Spock: “What about CRI-band?â€
Uhura: “That? Good lord, there must be millions of signals.â€
Spock: “Find one; put it on audio.â€
Uhura: “Aye captain.â€
Uhura fiddles with some dials and…
VOICE ONE: (young, male, adolescent, whispering furatively) “Wanna cyber?â€
VOICE TWO: (middle aged, female, earthy with a touch of girlishness) “Aightâ€
VOICE ONE: “Slip out of those pants baby, yeah.â€
VOICE TWO: “I slip out of my pants, just for you, bloodninja.â€
VOICE ONE: “Oh yeah, aight. Aight, I put on my robe and wizard hat...â€
Spock: “I’ve heard enough. Logically, we must incarcerate this Blood-Ninja hybrid and score some righteous marijuana in the process. Mr Chekov?â€
Chekov: “Aye, captain. He’s a threat for sure.â€
Spock: “Crusher, lay in a course…Crusher?â€
Johnson rushes over to Crusher and leans over him. “He’s asleep, sir, should I wake him?â€
Spock taps console to his right and speaks toward it: “McCoy to bridgeâ€
McCoy’s voice: “Aye captainâ€
Moments pass with Johnson leaning over Crusher. Chekov begins leaning over lower and lower leering at Johnson.
Enter McCoy, bleary eyed and limping. He approaches Crusher.
McCoy: “What happened? I can’t bend down. My back is out.â€
Spock: “He seems to be sleeping.â€
McCoy: “Computer: medical records Wesley Crusher.â€
Computer: “Working…working…â€
Uhura: “Mr. McCoy, this could take some time. Barclay replaced our Computer with a gerbil, a Viking Husqvarna 980, and a lampshade.â€
McCoy: “Johnson: how’s his pulse? Is his breathing steady?â€
Johnson places her head atop Crusher’s well muscled chest: “breathing steady, pulse about 55. I think he’s in REM sleep already his eyes are flickering.â€
Chekov falls out of his chair.
McCoy: “What is this, a fundamentalist revival or a bridge?â€
Spock: “Chekov, stop checking Johnson out.â€
Chekov, “Sorry captainâ€
Uhura: “What about Crusher? Should I call Nurse Chapel?â€
McCoy: “No! She dumped me last night.â€
Spock: “Logically.â€
McCoy: “What?!â€
Spock: “No one volunteered to play the part, and therefore she cannot be called.â€
McCoy: “Women. Rip your heart out, stomp on it while it is still beating, and just when you think you can’t take it anymore…â€
Crusher springs awake and stands up “Why am I not being hazed? Where is the paddle? Joke uniform? Shaving cream? Oddly shaped vegetables? Where are the practical jokes? I demand...ohâ€
Spock: “Mister Crusher, please report to sick bay immediately. McCoy, I want to know what is wrong with Crusher, and what can be done about it.â€
McCoy: “I can tell you most of what ails Crusher cannot be addressed medically.â€
Exit McCoy, Crusher. All other crew return to station.
Spock: “Our bridge crew wares thin…Uhura, who is on duty qualified to take the helm?â€
Uhura: “Not many…we have…ensign Yoh.â€
Spock: “Isn’t he a security officer?â€
Uhura: “Yes. I could get a trainee instead.â€
Spock: “No. Extra security on the bridge at this time seems appropriate.â€
Enter Ensign Yoh dressed in the traditional red shirt uniform of both security and engineering crew. Yoh takes the helm
Chekov: “Here we are, captain.â€
A blue-red planet appears on view.
Spock, standing: “This is sector 6968?â€
Chekov: (fondly) “Finest cannabis in the neutral zone.â€
Uhura: “We’re being hailed. Apparently someone called Hippopotamus demands a password.â€
Spock: “Chekov?â€
Chekov: “Oh, right! Just a moment…â€
Uhura: “He’s threateneing us with a ratedown.â€
Spock: “Johnson, what is his post count?â€
Johnson: “Checking…7467.â€
Uhura: “Should we even bother to raise shields?â€
Spock: “Raise shields. Arm RateSpamâ„¢ torpedoes. Chekov, our ability to score high quality Mary-Jane depends on swift action. Be alert.â€
Chekov: “Aye.â€
To Be Continued.
