  1. "Windows vs The Borg"

     

    Star Trek Lost Episodes - transcript.

     

    Picard: Mr. LaForge, have you had any success with your attempts at finding a weakness in the Borg? And Mr. Data, have you been able to access their command pathways?

     

    Geordi: Yes, Captain. In fact, we found the answer by searching through our archives on late Twentieth-century computing technology."

     

    [Geordi presses a key, and a logo appears on the computer screen. Riker looks puzzled.]

     

    Riker: What the hell is 'Microsoft'?"

     

    [Data turns to answer]

     

    Data: Allow me to explain. We will send this program, for some reason called 'Windows', through the Borg command pathways. Once inside their root command unit, it will begin consuming system resources at an unstoppable rate."

     

    Picard: But the Borg have the ability to adapt. Won't they alter their processing systems to increase their storage capacity?

     

    Data: Yes, Captain. But when 'Windows' detects this, it creates a new version of itself known as an 'upgrade'. The use of resources increases exponentially with each iteration. The Borg will not be able to adapt quickly enough. Eventually all of their processing ability will be taken over and none will be available for their normal operational functions.

     

    Picard: Excellent work. This is even better than that 'unsolvable geometric shape' idea.

     

    [. . . 15 Minutes Later . . .]

     

    Data: Captain, We have successfully installed the 'Windows' in the command unit and as expected it immediately consumed 85% of all resources. We however have not received any confirmation of the expected 'upgrade'.

     

    Geordi: Our scanners have picked up an increase in Borg storage and CPU capacity to compensate, but we still have no indication of an 'upgrade' to compensate for their increase.

     

    Picard: Data, scan the history banks again and determine if their is something we have missed.

     

    Data: Sir, I believe there is a reason for the failure in the 'upgrade'. Appearently the Borg have circumvented that part of the plan by not sending in their registration cards.

     

    Riker: Captain we have no choice. Requesting permission to begin emergency escape sequence 3F...

     

    [Geordi is excited]

     

    Geordi: Wait, Captain; I just detected their CPU capacity has suddenly dropped to 0%!"

     

    Picard: Data, what do your scanners show?"

     

    Data: Apparently the Borg have found the internal 'Windows' module named 'Solitaire' and it has used up all the CPU capacity.

     

    Picard: Lets wait and see how long this 'solitaire' can reduce their functionality.

     

    [. . . Two Hours Pass . . .]

     

    Riker: Geordi, what's the status on the Borg?

     

    Geordi: As expected the Borg are attempting to re-engineer to compensate for increased CPU and storage demands, but each time they successfully increase resources I have setup our closest deep space monitor beacon to transmit more 'windows' modules from something called the 'Microsoft fun-pack'.

     

    Picard: How much time will that buy us ?"

     

    Data: Current Borg solution rates allow me to predicate an interest time span of 6 more hours.

     

    Geordi: Captain, another vessel has entered our sector.

     

    Picard: Identify.

     

    Data: "It appears to have markings very similar to the 'Microsoft' logo"

     

    [Over the speakers]

     

    Admiral Bill Gates: THIS IS ADMIRAL BILL GATES OF THE MICROSOFT FLAGSHIP MONOPOLY. WE HAVE POSITIVE CONFIRMATION OF UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE IN THIS SECTOR. SURREDER ALL ASSETS AND WE CAN AVOID ANY TROUBLE. YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS...

     

    Data: The alien ship has just opened its forward hatches and released thousands of humanoid shaped objects.

     

    Picard: Magnify forward viewer on the alien craft

     

    Riker: Good God captain! Those are humans floating straight toward the Borg ship with no life support suits ! How can they survive the tortures of deep space?!

     

    Data: I don't believe that those are humans sir, if you will look closer I believe you will see that they are carrying something recognized by twenty-first century man as doe skin leather briefcases, and wearing Armani suits

     

    Riker and Picard together: [horrified] Lawyers !!

     

    Geordi: It can't be. All the Lawyers were rounded up and sent hurtling into the sun in 2071 during the Great Awakening.

     

    Data: True, but appearently some must have survived.

     

    Riker: They have surrounded the Borg ship and are covering it with all types of papers.

     

    Data: I believe that is known in ancient venacular as 'red tape' it often proves fatal.

     

    Riker: They're tearing the Borg to pieces!

     

    Picard: Turn off the monitors. I can't stand to watch, not even the Borg deserve that.


  2. Now, I know how to post images from other people's websites... but I can figure out how to post images off say... my computer. Can anyone tell me how I can do that... is there a place I can use as a fully functional (and free) dumping ground for text and image I want to display?


  3. Last night I watched 'Fight Club' for the third time, now I must have gone to the bathroom at the exact same point the previous times I watched it, because I missed the scene on the bus where Brad Pitt's character asks

     

    "Which famous person would you fight?"

     

    "Er... William Shatner." Edward Norton replies. Having not seen this before, and being a Star Trek fan, I couldn't help but laugh. But then I wondered... out of all the Star Trek crew members ever... who would I fight?

     

    I decided that it would probably have to be Captain Archer (Scott Baluka) because he's my least favourite Star Trek character - sorry to the fans.

    And before anyone screams: "Star Fleet personnel don't fight each other" I'll have you know that the Star Fleet Academy has boxing club, kick-boxing club, wrestling club, karate club, fencing club and various other clubs... hell, they probably even Captain Archer appreciation club. Which I wouldn't join...

     

    Question is - who would you fight?

     

    :bow:


  4. Since I haven't been able to get online all weekend I've started my fan-fic withotu consulting you guys - sorry!

     

    Don't worry though, I went with the 'Curry class' - U.S.S Shelley but I've made mention of the U.S.S Necromancer in the story, simply because it's my second favourite. Also, I've got a converted Miranda class vessel serving as a carrier, with a type XIII warp engine upgrade, type thirteen warp engine mean that although it's an old ship it can still out run some Galaxy class federation vessels.


  5. Out of these schematics which should I use for my Star Fleet carrier in a story I want to write about a Star Fleet fighter pilot who flies a Valkyrie class fighter. Take your time... your opinion is important to me! :lol:

    Yeah, yeah... I know it's a video game picture, but I can't find an FMV shot of the U.S.S. Typhon NX-85808, if anyone can find or make me one or give schematicas I would REALLY appreciate your help. The U.S.S Typhon is a carrier, the first I've ever seen, and is featured in Star Trek: Invasion for P.C and Playstation 1.

     

    Thanks again... and post away... :lol:


  7. I don't know... everyone here seems to love McCoy... being only eighteen I remember watching the original series as re-runs with my dad. McCoy was always so grumpy... but he did grow on me. Personally I like the EMH because it's such a clever idea. Bashir was pretty cool as well... particularly in the later episodes whne he got involved with that secret group in the federation (Section 31?)

     

    And personally Dr. Phlox just annoys me... but for those of you who like him; fair enough.
