Uhura : Captain, I'm picking up an incoming transmission, but it's
highly distorted; the translator's having difficulty.
Kirk : Can you clean it up?
Uhura : Yes Captain, it's coming through now. It appears to be the EM
emissions from an ancient form of FUD.
Kirk : What's the signature?
Spock : My analysis indicates it is "Microsoft" in origin.
[silence]
Kirk : It couldn't be... We marooned him on COLA Killfile 5, years ago.
Spock : Logic dictates that Funkenbusch somehow managed to escape.
Chekov: A FUD transporter vessel has just decloaked, dead ahead.
Kirk : On screen!
Chekov: Aye Cap'in.
Uhura : Captain, the FUD transmission is shuffling from one frequency to
another, I can't keep a lock on it.
Spock : This tactic seems quite familiar.
Kirk : Looks like a Funkenbusch Situational Ethics Scenario.
Spock : Yes Captain.
Chekov: He's powering weapons.
Kirk : Red Alert! Raise Shields!
Chekov: Incoming FUD missile.
Kirk : Reroute power to the main deflectors!
Chekov: Aye Cap'in.
Kirk : Brace for impact!
Spock : Direct hit. Shields at 80%.
Kirk : Deploy the FACTS missiles, full spread.
Chekov: Aye Cap'in, FACTS launched.
Kirk : Status!
Chekov: We've destroyed his FUD array sir, he's running away.
Kirk : Sulu, take us out of here, maximum warp!
Sulu : Aye Captain.
Spock : Captain, shouldn't we pursue?
Kirk : Funkenbusch? No, he's not worth the effort. We need to follow
the Prime Directive and complete the mission.
