- I have an idea for a ST:TNG story line involving a meeting with
- the aliens from the Aliens movies, and I was wanting some information
- that could be relevent to the story. (Yes, this is a crossover)
-
- First, some of my ideas of things that will occur in the story:
- 1) A Starfleet ship will be invaded by the Aliens, loosing all bar
- one crewmember...
- 2) The Enterprise will discover a Borg ship that has been massacared
- and is completely dead...
- 3) At least one major character has got to die. I've already decided
- but I'm not telling you who :-) (I bet Rez could guess, couldn't
- you? Don't do so out loud thought :-) )
-
- I'm tossing up two titles for the story, either "Uninvited Guests"
- or "Ko-by Oshi Maru" (sp? Spelt if more or less phonetically here)
-
- Theres are few other details that I've thought of already which I wont
- post now, so as not to spoil the story too much if it ever gets written.
-
- I would like a bit of technical information about some things in the
- StarTrek and Aliens universe before I go on:
- 1) How exactly are you suspose to spell "Ko-by Oshi Maru"?
- 2) About the U.S.S. Enterprise:
- a) What is the class of ship.
- b) What is the number of the ship.
- c) How many people are on the ship.
- d) How many children are on the ship.
- 3) About the U.S.S. Hood:
- a) Anything known or mentioned about this ship in the ST:TNG series?
- b) The class of the ship.
- c) The number of the ship.
- d) How many people are on the ship.
- e) Any biographical material about her crew that is available.
- 4) In StarTrek VI, the president of the United Federation of Planets was
- an alien with all white hair and white or blue eyes (I can't remember)
- I also remember seeing another of that race in StarTrek IV on one
- of the ships disabled be the probe.
- Any and all information available about that race would be helpful.
- 5) Any and all information about the Alien race could proove helpful.
- i.e. Is there actually a name for the race?
- A home planet?
- How great is their intellegence? Just above an animal cunning?
- Or greater?
-
- Thanx to any and all who provide info.
-
- I'm really just letting the ideas mull around in my head at the moment
- and am working on hammering out a complete story-line outline before
- a start writing.
-
- CREATIVE Crticism and plot ideas are welcome (as long as they're not
- copyright :-) ), I don't want this to be just a "Aliens infest ship
- and start killing everybody, and crew wonder how to get out of this
- fix" type story (although I guess with Aliens, that'll be a fair
- part of the story), I would like to have some sort of underlying
- intrigue to the thing, I'm not sure how or what yet.
-
- Comments such as, "Don't bother, I hate crossovers" or "I hate Aliens"
- will be used to fill up /dev/null. If you don't like it, you don't have
- to read it, but there are many who do like crossovers and would like
- to read (I hope) this sort of material. Tolerance and acceptance of
- anothers preferences is a virtue, any Trekkie should be able
- to tell you that :-)
-
- Thanx.
-
- Evan McLean.
