is anyone interested? :-)
Yes! Here you go: part 2 Romulans everywhere Star Trek vindication of plagiarism Authors Note: Some people in the newsgroup this story was originally posted on, claimed that I have read a similar story somewhere with older characters (kirk spock) and just changed it... Since I do not take such accusations of plagiarism lightly and to prove to you that the above story is original..I will continue... and I challenge you can find ANYTHING like this!----- Holodeck1: Data: Captain, we have successfully replicated a computer of that era and placed it into an isolation chamber in there we have loaded all the remaining data from the crashed time capsule. Jordi: The containment field will keep this computer totally isolated from all our computer systems so we can study the remaining data from the ancient internet, including what seems to be a fully intact copy of the Vista OS. Picard: You have actually found an intact copy of Vista??? Data: Affirmative Sir. The creators of the capsule were not aware at the moment that Vista was the cause of the Borg attacks. So they thought that they should preserve various software and among them is Vista. Picard: I want you to take extra care in handling this Vista.. if the Borg can detect it, we may be putting us in unwarranted danger. What else did you find? Jordi: Captain we are trying to make sense of a strange language we found in the records we were able to retrieve. Picard: What kind of language? Is it not one of the known human languages? Data: I have stored in my positronic brain all human languages Sir, along with thousands of alien ones. This does not correspond to any of them. The sounds are rather intriguing! Picard: Like what? Data: sounds something like this: "google yahoo youtube ....google yahoo youtube" Picard: Perhaps its some chant of some sort? Jordi: Perhaps, when we retrieve more information we will know.... Worf from the Bridge on Picards COM: Captain a Romulan warship has just decloked! Picard: Data, To the bridge. Now on the Bridge Worf: They are ignoring our hailing and are powering up their weapons! Riker: Red Alert! Picard: Why here, why now? Perhaps they detected the signal of the time capsule when we reactivated it? Data: Quite possible Worf: They are transmitting visuals... Picard: On screen Romulan high commander: Enterprise, we know you have retrieved the Borg weapon, and we want you to send it to us now or be destroyed! Picard moved his hand across his neck, indicating to Worf to cut the sound of the channel " Data, do you think that they may have mistaken the time capsule as a Borg weapon for some reason?" Data: It is quite possible, since the Romulans were monitoring the earth while the Borg attack started world war III and at that same time this time capsule was launched and started sending out the signal. They may have thought that this device was some kind of Borg weapon! It does in fact contain the vista, that was the Trojan horse that allowed the Borg to start the destruction on earth. Picard: Worf, do we have any advantage over them? Worf: Sir their ship is very heavily armed... if we engage in battle we will probably perish but it will be an honorable death. Picard: Worf enable communications "Romulan vessel, you leave us no other option, as you know we humans care for life too much, if we give you what you want will you agree to leave us with no further hostilities?" Romulan high commander: Agreed Enterprise, you are wise to acknowledge our superiority Picard: Jordi... listen carefully, I want you to transmit all of the Vista code, DIRECTLY to their main computer. They want it?... LET THEM HAVE IT!!!! Jordi: Aye SIR!........ TRANSMISSION COMPLETE! Worf: Shields, weapon systems, and life support are failing on the enemy warship!!! Picard: Now I have you where I want you, Jordi, beam them directly to cargo bay 2, Worf get a security team over there at once! After the crisis was over Data: Captain, your strategy was intriguing... how did you know that Vista would disable the enemy warship? Picard: Data, you forget that I love reading history. Vista has gone down in history, as the most buggy badly written software of all times! If it could start a world war and destroy a planet... it could surely disable a warship :-)- THE END "King Missile" wrote in message ... jim wrote: I can clearly prove that this is original by writing the continuation.... of this story is anyone interested? :-) Yes!

when doing a star trek sci-fi mockery of windows... you have to use windows
for destruction... you can do variants.. but don't expect me to make a story of the enterprise running windows and everyone will be happy with it. By the way I had not seen any windows-star trek stories either.. I can do something 100% original but it would not involve well known television shows... I think it would be logical to conclude that those have already been used for various parodies. "Robert Moir" wrote in message ...
