Welcome to the Realm™ - Version 5.0...
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________





[SCENE:&#160 Aboard the now-empty bridge of ISS Titanic.&#160 Admiral Darth Venomous has banished his crew to the friendly confines of Realm&#153 headquarters, and is now keying in some final adjustments to the course on which he will send ISS Titanic&#160 for its final voyage after the ship’s core containment system failed.

Captain Korrioth calls Titanic&#160 from spacedock control.&#160 Lord Venomous answers the hail.]

KORRIOTH:&#160 Admiral, sensors indicate the rate of containment deterioration is increasing.&#160 We need to get you out of there soon.

VENOMOUS:&#160 Acknowledged, Captain.&#160 Just a couple of moments more, than I’ll kick this pig into gear and you can beam me out.&#160 Stand by.

[Venomous keys in half a dozen more commands, then hits a switch & engages the engines.&#160 Cut to exterior view of the massive dreadnought lumbering into motion out of spacedock.

Cut back to bridge view.&#160 Venomous hits ship-to-surface.]

VENOMOUS:&#160 Awright, Mr. Korrioth, that should do it.&#160 One to beam ou—

[Sparks erupt from the console in front of the admiral.&#160 The ship bucks – once, twice, three times.

Cut to external view of Titanic, aft.&#160 Three photon torpedoes fly from their tubes towards spacedock control.&#160 Shifting views, we see that the photons meet no resistance as they hit their target – a bank of power generators.

In the control room, bodies have been thrown to the deck and chaos reigns.]

KORRIOTH:&#160 REPORT!!!

MERLIN:&#160 Main energizers out, Captain!&#160 We’re on batteries!

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 Transporters gone, Captain!&#160 He knew exactly&#160 where to hit us!

T-BONE MCMANX:&#160 Communications board overloaded, sir!&#160 Everyone in the station calling, trying to find out what happened!

KORRIOTH:&#160 Tell them to take a good effing guess, Lieutenant, but clear that damned board!

T-BONE MCMANX:&#160 Aye, sir!

K’HADIBAK’H:&#160 Why, Captain?&#160 WHY?!?!

KORRIOTH:&#160 That’s not your concern at the moment, Lieutenant.&#160 Assist Mr. Merlin & Mr. McCool; help them get power back online. See if you can get anything resembling shields up.

K’HADIBAK’H:&#160 Yes, m’lord!&#160 (scurrying off)

KORRIOTH (muttering):&#160 You’d better have a damned good excuse, you mangy p’tahk, or, Sith Lord or not, I’ll—

[The speakers pick that time to receive the first clear signal in what seems like hours.]

VENOMOUS:&#160 —tanic to spacedock, report!!!

KORRIOTH:&#160 What do you mean, report?!&#160 You should already know&#160 what you’ve done to us, you cowardly little needle—

VENOMOUS:&#160 I&#160 didn’t do anything, Captain!!!

KORRIOTH:&#160 I saw the photons come out the rear tubes myself!&#160 If you didn’t do it, who the fuck did?!?!?!

VENOMOUS:&#160 How the hell am I&#160 supposed to—

[Cut to Titanic’s&#160 bridge.&#160 At that moment, the main screen displays an image that changes everything.]

VENOMOUS:&#160 Oh.&#160 Shit.

KORRIOTH:&#160 What???&#160 WHAT?!?!?!

VENOMOUS:&#160 Slight problem here, Kor.&#160 I’ll get back to you.&#160 [He closes the channel.]

[Cut to spacedock control.&#160 Korrioth is pounding the crap out of the speaker, trying to elicit a response.]

KORRIOTH:&#160 Admiral!!!&#160 ADMIRAL!!!!&#160 Dammit!!!

[Cut to Titanic’s&#160 bridge.&#160 As Venomous surveys the damage to the conn, he is not a happy camper.]

VENOMOUS:&#160 Great.&#160 Automation system’s gone…sluggish helm, at best…(checks a reading)…at least I have some warp drive left.&#160 (raising his voice) Computer…estimated time to core breach.

COMPUTER:&#160 Four minutes, forty-seven seconds.

VENOMOUS (muttering to himself):&#160 Guess I’d better hurry then, huh?

[Venomous quickly re-keys in his course, then hits the big red button. Cut to external view, as Titanic&#160 shoots into warp.]

To be continued…
