I have been informed that I am the third subscriber to this facility who
has come up with this idea and based on this I am going to post a pilot
script (Part One) and I would really appreciate it if anyone who reads it
would place a comment after it to describe what you really think, even if
it is to say it's a load of crap
Here goes:-
PART 1
------
LOCATION - BRIDGE OF ENTERPRISE
CAPTAIN JEAN-LUC PICARD IS ADDRESSING WESLEY CRUSHER
"Ensign, Increase speed to warp factor three"
"Yes sir"
PICARD TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO DATA
"Mr Data, How long before we reach Starbase One?"
"At our present speed I estimate three hours, six minutes and twenty four
seconds Captain"
PICARD STARTS TO SIT DOWN IN HIS CHAIR WHEN DATA SPEAKS AGAIN
"Captain, sensors have picked up an unidentified space vessel headed on what
appears to be an interception course"
PICARD - "How long before it reaches us?"
DATA - "At our respective speeds we will encounter each other in one hour,
twenty minutes and ..."
PICARD (Hastily Speaking) - "Thank you Data"
CRUSHER - "Sir, the vessel has changed course again and is now ... Captain
it appears to have taken on a rather erratic flight pattern"
WORF - "Confirmed Sir, and it has just begun to send out a distress signal"
PICARD - "Ensign, increase to maximum warp and keep us on an intercept course"
CRUSHER - "Yes Captain"
*** BLACKOUT ***
SCENE SWITCHES TO COCKPIT OF RED DWARF
RIMMER IS DISPLAYING A COMPLETE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING TO WHAT HAS JUST BEEN
SAID, HE TURNS TO KRYTEN
"Kryten, what exactly do you mean by `warp speed' ?"
KRYTEN - "What I say sir, the ship in question is approaching us at a speed
far beyond Red Dwarf's limit"
LISTER - "Listen Kryten, is there any way of finding out if these guys are
friendly or not?"
CAT - "Who cares? I'm just worried about what that sudden change of direction
did to my hair"
RIMMER - "Cat, we are about to have our first alien encounter for over six
months, our guidance system is wrecked forcing Holly to go round in complete
circles and all you worry about is your hair?"
CAT - "That's right buddy, when the Aliens get here I have to make sure I look good"
KRYTEN - "In answer to your question Mr Lister, the answer is `no'. Although
I hope they are friendly as they will be here in approximately twenty minutes
and they are coming very fast"
LISTER - "Did it look like they were answering our distress signal?"
KRYTEN - "Unknown Sir, although they did increase speed moments after we sent
it out"
LISTER - "I guess we'll have to sit and wait for them"
*** BLACKOUT - 15 MINS PASSES ***
BACK ON BOARD THE ENTERPRISE
PICARD IS IN HIS READY ROOM
DATA'S VOICE COMES THROUGH THE INTERCOM
"Sir, we have reached the other vessel and they are now hailing us"
PICARD - "I'll be right there"
PICARD ENTERS ONTO THE BRIDGE
PICARD - "On Screen"
VISUAL DISPLAY OF RED DWARF COCKPIT APPEARS
ALL OF RED DWARF CREW ARE VISIBLE
PICARD - "What was the reason for your distress call?"
LISTER - "Our guidance system is wrecked and our ship's computer can only
take us round in circles"
PICARD - "We'll be back to you shortly"
- SPEAKING TO DATA "Close Channel"
CHANNEL CLOSES AND SCREEN RETURNS TO SHOWING IMAGE OF SPACE/RED DWARF
WORF - "Sir, sensors indicated basic arsenal only and they have no shields"
PICARD - "Thank you Mr Worf, Counsellor what did you make of them?"
TROY - "Only two of the four emitted any emotions at all and there was no
hostility within them"
PICARD - "And the other two?"
DATA - "May I interject Sir, one of the two non-humanoids was definitely an
android and the other had a symbol `H' on his forehead which I believe was
an emblem of a hologram"
PICARD - "Such as what are to be found on the holodeck?"
DATA - "Not really Captain, Holodeck Images are made up of computer generated
graphics influenced by the given user and the hologram on the other ship is
a direct reproduction of what the man was when he died, even with the same
personality"
PICARD DELIBERATES FOR A MOMENT AND MAKES HIS DECISION
HE LINKS UP WITH THE ENGINE ROOM ON THE INTERCOM
"Mr La Forge, report to Transporter Room One, Mr Worf will meet you there"
"Yes Captain"
PICARD TURNS TO WHERE WORF WAS ONLY TO HEAR THE TURBO-LIFT DOOR SHUT
MR WORF IS ON HIS WAY
SCENE SWITCHES TO RED DWARF
LAFORGE AND WORF ARE MATERIALISING IN RED DWARF
MEMBERS OF RED DWARF ARE WATCHING IN AMAZEMENT
CAT - "How did you do that?"
LISTER - "Holly, can you tell us where they came from?"
HOLLY - "They came from the other ship"
LISTER - "I know that, I meant ..."
LAFORGE SPEAKS UP
"Sorry to interrupt, but I believe you asked for help"
RIMMER - "Yes we did, but who exactly are you?"
LAFORGE - "Chief Engineer Geordi LaForge at your service and this is Worf,
our Head of Security, we're both from the Starship Enterprise"
LISTER - "The guidance system is just over here"
LAFORGE - "Thanks, and your name is ...?"
LISTER - "Dave Lister, and this is Cat,Kryten and Rimmer"
LAFORGE - "Fine, call me Geordi"
END OF PART 1
SO WHAT DOES EVERYONE THINK, WANT TO READ PART 2?

WHO BETWEEN THEM WERE THE PRIMARY REASONS WHY THIS HAS NOW BEEN WRITTEN
TO THIS NEWGROUP
HERE GOES:-
STAR TREK TNG MEETS RED DWARF
PART 2
ONE HOUR LATER LAFORGE IS JUST FINISHING HIS REPAIRS
HE STANDS UP
"Well that should just about do it, your guidance system should work like
a dream now"
LISTER - "Thanks Geordi, is there anything we can do in return?"
LAFORGE - "Well, you could do me the honour of being my guests aboard the
Enterprise"
LISTER - "Are you sure?
We only met an hour ago"
LAFORGE - "Of course I'm sure, all I have to do is clear matters with the
Captain"
RIMMER - "Hang on, would we be travelling the same way you arrived here?"
LAFORGE - "Well...it's up to you of course but our transporter system will
get you all there quickly"
CAT - "Say Buddy, it won't mess up your genes at all will it, I'd hate to
appear on the other end with the mentality of a fashion victim"
LAFORGE - "You don't need to worry about that happening, our transporters
go through regular routine checks and maintenance if it is
considered at all necessary"
RIMMER - "So you're sure it's completely safe?"
LAFORGE - "Of course it is, after all I just came through it and I'm
still in one piece"
CAT - "Yeah, but look at Worf ended up like after he travelled like that"
WORF GLARES AT CAT BEFORE REMEMBERING HIS FEDERATION TRAINING AND EXITING
THE ROOM AND TAKES UP A POSITION NEAR THE DOOR
CAPTAIN PICARD'S VOICE COMES OVER THE INTERCOM
"How is your repair work proceeding Mr LaForge?"
LAFORGE - "I'm all completed Captain and ready to beam back"
PICARD - "Make it so, there's a matter requiring your attention"
LAFORGE - "Just a moment Captain, do I have your permission to bring the
Red Dwarf Crew Members back with me?"
PICARD HESITATES
"Please stay on this channel Mr LaForge"
PICARD CLOSES THE CHANNEL AND TURNS TO TROY
"Counsellor, what information can you give me?"
TROY - "The human that spoke first appears to be the closest of all of
them to possessing some sort of leadership status, apart from him
only other of the four has any sort of emotion that I can read,
he gives the impression of someone who has himself way up on a
personal list of priorities. In general though I can detect no
hostility towards us or this ship"
PICARD ADDRESSES CRUSHER
"Open Frequency"
THE RED DWARF COCKPIT REAPPEARS ON THE SCREEN
LAFORGE IS WAITING FOR THE CAPTAIN'S DECISION
"Mr LaForge, you have my permission to beam them aboard"
LAFORGE - "Thank you Captain
TO RED DWARF CREW - Are you all ready to beam aboard?"
LISTER - "Hang on a minute"
LISTER WALKS OVER TO IMAGE OF HOLLY
"Holly, we're leaving the ship, you're instructions are to follow behind
the other ship"
HOLLY - "Understood"
LISTER TURNS BACK TOWARDS LAFORGE
"We're all ready to go"
LAFORGE NODS AND SPEAKS THROUGH HIS COMMUNICATOR
"Transporter Room, six to beam aboard"
LAFORGE, WORF, LISTER, RIMMER, KRYTEN AND CAT DEMATERIALISE AND REFORM
ON THE ENTERPRISE
LAFORGE - "Well we're here, what do you think so far?"
KRYTEN - "Very Impressive Sir, tell me - do you have any androids such as
me aboard?"
LAFORGE - "We certainly do, his name's Data and I'm sure he's being
looking forward to meeting you all"
COMMANDER RIKER ENTERS THE TRANSPORTER ROOM
"Hello Gentlemen and Welcome to the Enterprise, the Captain wishes to
ensure your well-being and as such has assigned you a crew member"
LAFORGE - "I'd like to volunteer for that sir"
RIKER - "Sorry Geordi, but you're needed elsewhere, the Captain is waiting
for you in the Conference Room"
LAFORGE - "Yes sir"
LAFORGE EXITS THE ROOM PASSING DATA IN THE DOORWAY
RIKER TURNS TO HIM
"Ah Data, I have been expecting you"
RIKER TURNS BACK TO RED DWARF CREW
"This is the crew member I have chosen to assign to you, if you have any
questions he will be only to happy to answer them for you"
RIKER EXITS THE ROOM
DATA STARTS TO SPEAK
"Gentlemen if you will please follow me I will show you to your quarters"
*** BLACKOUT ***
THE CONFERENCE ROOM
PICARD, RIKER, WORF, LAFORGE AND TROY ARE ALL IN ATTENDANCE
PICARD HAS BEGUN TO BRIEF THEM ON THE SITUATION
"The situation is this, a Romulan Warship has passed through the Neutral
Zone and is headed for Outpost Atlar 5 which is the nearest inhabited
Federation Space Planet, it has a population of approximately 650.
The Romulans have not so far displayed any hostility despite being in
direct violation of the Treaty, they will reach Atlar 5 within the
hour"
WORF - "I don't see that we have any alternative Sir, the Romulan Warship
must be intercepted and escorted back to the Neutral Zone, with
force if necessary"
RIKER - "I agree to a point, but advise more discretion in this case, after
all if they really intended any hostility surely they would display
a stronger show of force"
LAFORGE - "Perhaps, but I still think we should be cautious, after all our
previous dealings with the Romulans have been less than savoury"
TROY - "All these points are valid but shouldn't we attempt to communicate
with them first in the event that they have a legitimate reason
for crossing into Federation Space"
PICARD CONSIDERS ALL OF THESE POINTS OF VIEW CAREFULLY
HE LOOKS UP AND ASKS
"Has anyone got anything further to add?"
NO-ONE SPEAKS SO PICARD RISES
"Very well, then I declare this meeting over"
EVERYONE ELSE STANDS UP AND FILES OUT OF THE ROOM
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELL THAT'S THE FIRST HALF OF PART 2
WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?
