Scotty: Capt'n, our crystals are nearly dry!
JTK: Okay, Sulu, lay in a course for the nearest 'nutter base. Warp factor 9!
Sulu: Aye aye, capt'n.
*mmmmmMMMMM......poit!*
Sulu: 'nutter is 15 Mklicks and closing, sir.
Scotty: Capt'n! She's got not much left to give ye!
JTK: Scotty, get a grip! Spock! Activate, the long-handled parabolic, trans-metallic, insertion drone!
Spock: Activated and green for launch. Captain, there are no jelly receptors in scanner range.
Uhuru: Captain! I'm getting a weak signal from Jam 2! Three zero six by six seven by zero four.
JTK: Checkov, give me, a firing solution for Jam 2--Sulu, helm to starboard, impulse power.
Sulu: Aye aye, capt'n, helm to starboard, impulse power.
Checkov: My captain! Target lock assured for Jam 2. Suggest imminent drone departure!
JTK: Launch drone!
Checkov: Drone away...tracking. Impact!
Spock: Captain, sensors show drone has acquired significant organic red jelly material. I suggest it be re-deployed to the 'nutter base.
JTK: What? Are you trying to tell, me, what to, do?
McCoy: Jim! For crying out loud, get a grip, I'm not a miracle worker!
JTK: You're right Bones, thanks. Sulu, one half impulse power--things may get sticky. Set course for the 'nutter. Checkov, re-deploy drone to nuts.
Sulu: Aye, one half impulse power, helm to nuts--er, 'nutter.
Checkov: Um, yes sir!
Spock: Drone is spooling jam bits. Jam-mass is depleting rapidly!
JTK: Sulu, warp, warp, warp...
Scotty: She can't take much more, capt'n!
JTK: Warp 0.1.01a...
Spock: My sensors show the drone has embedded itself in the 'nutter. I suggest we withdraw it and return it to the <E> for refueling.
JTK: Yes Spock, your logic is impressible... importentable.. impresentable... do it! And then repeat Jam 2 insertion to the 'nutter base until Scotty tells us to stop. Spock, you have the conn. I'm gonna go lay down.
