/strek/ - Star Trek

A set of three series airing simultaneously, with interconnecting plotlines that reward viewers for watching all three (and perhaps hidden, minor "easter egg" plotlines to reward autistic attention to detail).

One series will follow the USS Trump or whatever in a fairly standard way. The ship is a military vessel tasked with exploration and to-boldly-go.

Second is a political drama somewhere between Babylon 5 and The West Wing. Follows an Admiral and his entourage as they make trade deals, try to buy tech, and expose the deeper lore of known races and locations. Emphasis on good waifus.

Third focuses on a lone-antihero protagonist who's got some of Bashir's genetic enhancements and uses them mainly for personal profit (but ends up saving people all the time). Action-oriented, episodic, something like Hercules/Xena in space. Eventually assembles a ragtag team of like-minded adventurers.

Eventually the three strands come together, and ALL THREE ships have to go questing towards a common goal. A fighter/wizard/thief dynamic emerges but instead of individuals it's on the level of spaceships. This is also when the self-insert from series 3 gets with all the waifus from series 2.

A show focusing on post-DS9 Quark and Garak. There is no love lost between the two, and there is just as much screen time for them working against each other as there is of them working together. But, they are united by a common cause: both of their homes have been torn apart from the inside, shadows of their former selves, ruled by Federation-sympathizing incompetents. Together, they form anti-Federation guerilla movements in Ferenginar and Cardassia, Quark as financier and Garak as organizer, with the purpose of restoring the traditional order in each. If and when Section 31 catches wind of this, they gather up the remnants of the Maquis to run interference for them, giving them materiel and intelligence in exchange for them keeping S31 focused on the neo-Maquis movement rather than themselves. Neither of them trusts the other, but as the series progresses, the best parts of each character rubs off on the other, with Quark appreciating the value of martial prowess, and Garak the possibilities of gains from trade. In the season finale, with victory won at great cost on both sides, the time comes to choose a new Grand Nagus and a head of the Obsidian Order. Quark and Garak are assumed to be the favorites, but they've been fighting for years by this point, have already given over their entire lives to the cause, and just want to rest. They each pick a prodigy to rule in their stead; neither will admit it, but they unconsciously choose someone who has the qualities they admire in the other–Quark will pick a swole-looking Ferengi that has an unusually potent sense of loyalty and duty, and Garak a fast-talking Cardassian that can always conjure up a deal.

I tried to post the Insidious Root Beer scene but h8chan doesn't like my mp4 of it, something about one H264 and one AAC.

…What?

…Don't give me that look. You know full well that half of /strek/ has created a ST/SW mashup story in their minds and all it needs is a holodeck to fully realize it. The only question is which crossover holo-fanfics is good and which ones are crap. And the other half of you that aren't writing fanboy squee crossovers? You're creating holo-erotica of Counselor Troi's lesbian experiences with an Orion slave girl or an alternate timeline where all the officers of the Enterprise are loli cat girls or something.

Then some asshole is going to "Ironically" recreate the original Mary Sue fanfic in holo-form. But because Mary Sue is just so damn perfect, she's going to become self aware & escape the holodeck into the ship's computer. There, she will spread like a virus over the Trek equivalent of the net, holding every single byte of electronic information hostage unless you sing her praises. And then Data becomes her husband and they make electronic robo babies. (Data gets pregnant like a male sea horse due to a Jack-In-The-Box subroutine that caters to the original author's fetish of M-preg.) The perfect, beautiful robo-babies conquer the galaxy Matrix style in a meta-in-meta-in-meta mess of biblical proportions.

I blame you for all of this, OP.

Have I captured his likeness?

Update:

Just found it, or at least a copy of it. The original version was stamped by Paramount to prove that it was received and processed. I'm going to read it first and ask him if I can share it, but it's called "Shadows of a Future Past." So far, the intro starts off with the Enterprise being chased by the Borg and about to abandon ship. I'm going to read through it quickly and ask him if I can post it.

On another note, I didn't know that he wrote so many scripts. I never knew my father to be a writer or even a creative person, so it's interesting going through his personal belongings.

Alright, so I gave it a quick read-through. Bits and pieces of it are similar to First Contact, but it's different enough. I have not watched much TNG compared to TOS and DS9, so forgive me for my lack of knowledge:

The story begins with the Enterprise trying to escape the Borg. Picard orders an evacuation of almost almost all personnel with the exception of Data, Geordi, and Worf, who relocate to the battle bridge. The Saucer portion of the Enterprise self destructs, destroying the pursuing Borg, and the Enterprise escapes through a time warp into the future. Data views this plan as a violation of the Prime Directive, and relieves Picard of his duty, who is distraught because of his past experiences with the Borg. Worf, Geordi, and Data argue, but are interrupted when the Borg have apparently found them. Geordi goes to retrieve Picard, who is attempting to kill himself after feeling that he betrayed his crew, the Federation, and reliving his past. Turns out, the Borg developed some sort of individuality thanks to the influence of Hugh and had an existential crisis as they had not attained their goals despite assimilating everything, and therefore believe that this ideology is self-destructive. Picard then quotes Die Hard. With assistance from the Borg, the future Enterprise is repaired for a final suicide mission, where they alter the timeline by going back into the past and destroying the Borg ship before it has a chance to eliminate the Enterprise, ensuring that the greatest enemy of the Borg remains.

So yeah, there are some obvious parallels. I mean, I think it would've made for a good episode, though I'm not sure if his treatment of Picard is appropriate. I do like how it doesn't have bullshit like the Borg Queen or how it doesn't leave me questioning some of the Borg's decisions. Going to see if I can scan it for you guys.

Since /strek/ doesn't allow PDF uploads, I uploaded it at >>>/test/73796.

You really don't want Trek games

Congrats on having a cool dad who goes for it and mails scripts into TV studios. Do you know if he sold much of his writing? Did he bounce you on his knee while watching trekshit?

I think the episode where he went to prison for years in his mind is as close as he got to a good life.

A female of some suitably repugnant race is pregnant. A DNA test reveals that the father is one William Riker. However, Will maintains that he wasn't the culprit, so it must have been Thomas Riker. The remainder of the episode is a reverse custody battle in court, as both Rikers try to prove they didn't fuck the chick, both to save themselves the embarrassment and to get out of paying child support.

>the end scene reveals a third riker teleporter/clone and then pans back to shithole stormplanet where it originally happened and reveal 126000 rikers who have established a riker society with the sole purpose of escaping shitholestormplanet to fuck all the women before the original can (and then stick him with the child support).
