The following message comes from the Relaynet Star Trek
conference and is DEFINITELY a ST6 spoiler. Read at your own risk.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Howdy, folks. You've probably heard the ST6 script is out and
about or at least some versions of it. The following is a major
spoiler which was posted on another net by someone who claims to have
a genuine copy of a script, albeit not the latest. I take no
responsibility for the reliability of the info (as a matter of fact, I
haven't even read all of it--want to be a >bit< surprised when it
comes out). Read at your own risk; it seems to be pretty
comprehensive.
*** SPOILER ALERT!!! *** STAR TREK 6 SPOILER ALERT!!! ***
*** SPOILER ALERT!!! DO NOT READ ON IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW
THE (POSSIBLE) CONTENTS OF THE ST6 SCRIPT ***
OK, here's the stuff:
Admiral Donald, the Romulan Ambassador and General Chang, aided
and abetted by some Starfleet officers, businessman and some other
assorted Klingons who crew the Bird of Prey that shoots the torpedoes
at the Chancellor's ship. (The special cloaked Bird of Prey that can
fire while invisible, that is.)
The two members of the Enterprise crew who are shown making nasty
racist comments when the Klingons beam over for dinner are the ones
who actually beam over wearing their gravity boots and assassinate the
Chancellor. They are however, not the shipboard brains of the
operation.
Saavik is the traitor.
Spock is quite broken up about it. He sponsored her at the
academy and she was the first Vulcan to graduate at the top of her
class. I also think that their relationship is a bit more than the
current draft of the script suggests, given some of the stage
directions, i.e., Spock is in as much pain as we will ever see.
That's fairly explicit, no?
Spock mind melds and brain drains her of the names of her
co-conspirators. She kills the two crewman who assassinated Gorkon
before they can be questioned.
One of Donald's aides disguises himself as a Klingon and shuttles
down to the peace conference with them. He is given a big nasty
phaser rifle by his compatriots and sets himself up as a sniper to
kill the UFP president.
END OF PART 1
Oh, the shapeshifter Martia, who befriends Kirk and Bones, turns
out (no surprise really) to be working for the Klingon Commandant and
tries to kill him on the surface before the Enterprise can arrive to
rescue him or the guards find them and take them back into custody.
She changes into Kirk and the two Kirk's wrestle while the Klingons
look on and, of course, shoot the wrong one. She dies horribly and
the commandant says, "Well, we couldn't have let her live anyway."
He prepares to kill Kirk and Bones, but before vaporizing them, in
true villain fashion, he spills the beans about the conspiracy. Just
as he is about to name names, Spock beams Kirk up. He materializes on
the Enterprise and begins cursing wildly about "why couldn't you wait
two seconds longer, etc...
Sulu risks his career and tells Kirk where the secret meeting is
being held and they both rush off to Khitomer. The Enterprise crew is
a bit worried about what they'll do when they get there, since the
Bird of Prey can shoot at them all it wants and they can't even see it.
Chang is commanding it and fires volleys of torpedoes at the
Enterprise while they try and figure out what to do. The Excelsior
and Sulu arrive just as the Enterprise is about to give up the ghost
and Chang turns to fire at the new ship.
Bones and Spock rush off to jurry rig a photon torpedo with a
plasma sensor that will home in on the Bird of Prey's plasma exhaust.
The torpedo is launched and hits the Klingon ship. Sulu fires at the
explosion and the ship is destroyed. Landing parties from both ships
beam down to the conference. This is intercut with the scenes of the
conspirators on the planet and the assassin assembling the rifle and
takes aim.
Of course, they save the president and make the galaxy safe for
small children and puppy dogs. Kirk of course is the hero having
flung himself upon the president knocking him out of the path of the
phaser rifle's shot, in the knick of time. Scotty aces the assassin
and he falls from the balcony as his makeup comes off.
END OF PART 2
Kirk
"Time we got underway ourselves, gentleman.
(stretches)
Once again we've saved civilization as we know it."
Given the amount of times different people say To be or not to be.
I suppose the Undiscovered Country reference is from Hamlet. I'd
have to dig out my folio to check, but...wait here it is...
Kirk speaking to the Chancellor (the dead ones daughter Azetbur)
Your father quoted Hamlet: he called the future - "the undiscovered
country"...
Spock
"I always assumed Hamlet was speaking of death."
Kirk
"Gorkon thought the undiscovered country might mean something
else - another kind of life. People can be very frightened of
change. I know I was."
Kirk shows some humility by saying to Saavik,'it takes one to know
one' and walks off. She of course being a Vulcan overcome by
emotion...cries.
*****************************
It's Lou again. Please take not that the character of Saavik got a
name change; apparently it is now "Valerius." I guess "Saavik" was
too confusing. Jimmy Doohan confirmed at a con that M. Dorn is indeed
playing Colonel Worf. To end this off, a brief outline of the ST6
story:
Basic Outline:
Moon explodes
Enterprise sent to shephard chancellor's ship to Earth conference
Chancellor murdered, apparently by someone on the Enterprise and
torpedoes seemingly fired from the Enterprise to the Kronos.
Kirk & Bones surrender and try to patch things up
they are arrested, tried and convicted
begin life imprisonment
Martia helps them escape (sort of) :-)
Enterprise disobeying orders to return to Earth sticks around and
through Spock's surreptitious placement of a homing device on Kirk
finds the penal planet and picks up K & B after they escape.
Conspiracy uncovered
Enterprise and Excelsior race to secret site of new peace talks
to prevent assassination of UFP president
Of course they succeed and zoom off into the sunset.
