“I repeat, Captain, we must jettison the excess cargo if we are going to outmaneuver the Klingon warships,” Chekov said.
“Don’t be ridiculous, Chekov,” Captain Kirk said. “I have total confidence in our ability to defeat the Klingons. Ours will be a victory of truly memorable proportions.”
Unable to remain silent, Mr. Spock interrupted Kirk’s tirade. “As much as I admire your artistic battle skills, Captain, logic dictates that the odds are seriously stacked against us should we go into battle.”
Spock turned to the ship’s doctor. “Dr. McCoy, sedate the Captain immediately.” Then he said to Scotty, “Once the Captain is helpless, beam him off the ship and then jettison the excess cargo.” Spock then ordered Uhuru, “take us to warp speed and get us the fuck outta here.”
Written for these daily prompts: The Daily Spur (repeat), Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (jettison), Ragtag Daily Prompt (confidence), Word of the Day Challenge (memorable), and MMA Storytime (artistic).
Hahaha excellent !! This line especially is a slice of reality … “take us to warp speed and get us the fuck outta here.”
