"Pure Evil"
(The Pheonix-X moves closer to a miniture star, smaller than the ship)(Bolts of lightning come out of the star)
(On the Pheonix-X)
(Bridge)
Lieutenant Commander
Armond[human]: The star seems to be disinegrating at a constant speed.
I estimiate it will just disappear in 8.4 mintutes.
Commander Gotens[trill]:
Take us a within 200 kilometers of it.
(In the Ready Room)
(The Captian speaks to an
Admiral on his view pad)
*Admiral Cloud[human]:
That's not possible.
Captian Daniel[changeling]:
Maybe you haven't read this guy's record, but according to this, he's a
physco path.
*Cloud: Captian!
He was granted a concluding chance, so long as he executes his duties like
a Starfleet Officer, Mr. Lox remains!
(Screen goes out)
(On the Bridge)
Gotens(shakes hands
with the Counsillor): Nice to meet you Councillor. I'm sure you'll like
it on the Pheonix-X.
Councillor Lucricia[human]:
Thank you sir.
Gotens: The Captian's
expecting you.
Armond(reads the
sensor logs): Hm...this looks familliar...
Lieutenant Commander
Red[klingon]: Commander, I still cannot secure a satisfactory sensor
reading.
Lieutenant Walace[human]:
I don't recommend we go any closer than 100 kilometers of the occurrence.
Gotens: Take us in
a hundred kilometers closer, Lieutenant.
Red: Aye sir.
(In the Ready Room)
(The door bell rings)
Daniel: Come in!!
Lucricia(enters): Captian--
Daniel: I swear,
I'm this close to resigning from Starfleet.
(Suddenly the star bursts out a huge flash wave)(A bolt of lightning grabs a hold of the Pheonix-X)
(In the ships' Ready Room)
Daniel: That's it
Councillor, I resign.
*Armond: Armond to
Captian. Commander Gotens is dead.
(On the Bridge)
Daniel(enters): What
happened?
Armond: The control
panel beside him exploded.
Ensign Dan[bajoran]:
Awww, to bad. Now who will be the brains of the outfit?
(Daniel takes the phaser
from a guard)(Daniel fires phaser at Ensign Dan)(Ensign Dan vapourizes)
Lucricia: Captian,
what are you doing?
Daniel: I'm tired
of Starfleet. I'm tired if this crew. And I was definitely tired of the
two officers from the Xena!!
Red(stars laughing):
Ha! Ha! Captian, I now have respect for you.
Daniel: Good, Red,
you're now First in Command.
Armond: But Captian,
I'm supposed--
(Daniel fires the phaser
at Armond)(Armond is vapourized)
Daniel: If you want
to talk on my bridge you ask me for permission.
Lieutenant Kayl[human]: Captian--
(Daniel points phaser at Kayl)
Kayl: Uh...permission
to speak?
Daniel: ....Granted.
Kayl: I'm detecting
another ship on the other side of the star.
Daniel: What?
Kayl: It's registered
as the U.S.S....Pheonix-X.
(On the other ship)
(Bridge)
Daniel: What's going
on?
Gotens: I dunno.
The control panel over there exploded, luckily I moved away from it in
time. The ship was hit by a bolt from the star. We retracted back 300 kilometers
away from it.
Daniel: Good work
Commander.
Armond: The star
has disintegrated.
Daniel: Hail that
ship.
(The screen goes on)
Daniel: I am Captian
Daniel X of the--
(Another Captian Daniel
is on the other bridge, Red stands beside him)
(Later...)
(In the Conference Room)(The
four ship leaders sit at the table)
Daniel1: This is
an amazing phenomenon.
Daniel2: Uhhh...I
agree. Unfortunately, my Commander Gotens, Lieutenant Commander Armond
and Ensign Dan were killed by explosions on the ship.
Gotens1: That's terrible.
Daniel2: ...Yes,
it is.
Daniel1: So...there's
duplicates of everybody now?
Red2: It would appear
that way.
Daniel2: Our Warp
Nacels aren't blue anymore, they are red. I wonder if your Chief Engineer
could assist my Chief Engineer to figure out the problem.
Daniel1: Sure. I'll
send Kugo over.
(Later...)
(On the Bridge)
Gotens: I've seen
the face he made too many times in five life times, he's lying.
Daniel: About what?
Gotens: I dunno,
it's just a feeling. Did you see the way Red mocked you in there?
Daniel: Yeah, something's
different about them.
Red(turns around):
Excuse me?
Gotens: Oh not you,
the Red on thier ship is First in Command.
Daniel: That Captian
made some changes to his face, he looks like a Tholian on 'drunk Ferengi
impressions night'. Commander go talk to Kugo. Kayl, keep an eye on their
ship.
Gotens: Yes sir.
Kayl: Aye sir.
Daniel: Ensign, we
need to determine why the star made a duplicate of us.
Ensign Dan: Aye sir--
Armond: Captian,
permission to assist the Science Officer...?
Daniel: ...Sure,
if you think you can help.
(Armond and Ensign Dan walk
to the Science Station)
(In main Engineering)
Gotens: ...And I
want you to give me a full report. You're not only going there to assist
your double with the warp nacels, I want you to observe the crew, the people
you know.
Lieutenant Kugo[vulcan]:
That is illogical, what is the purpose of observing the crew if it is precisely
the same as ours?
Gotens: I have reason
to believe that their crew just might be a little different...
(On the Bridge)
(The Captian and Lieutenant
Commander observe the science station)
Armond: Luckily we
got the readings before we withdrawed from the star. The star seemed to
be giving off negitive and positive Isolinium Radiation. Sensors indicate
were struck by a positive bolt.
Daniel: How is that
possible? That still doesn't explain how we were duplicated.
Armond: Isolinium
Radiation is known for capturing an object and--in a way, remembering everything
about the object. As soon as I saw these readings, I knew there was something
familliar about them.
Daniel: What are
you getting at?
Armond(relaxes):
A party of Vulcan Archeologists back in 2354 stumbled into a cave where
they found ihorn bats. They claimed to see millions of them, when in fact
only half of what they saw showed up on tri-quarter readings. Later it
was found that the cave was ingulfed with Isolinium Radation from the type
of rock.
Daniel: Are you saying
the radation projected doubles of the ihorn bats?
Armond: Yes. Our
case is obviously different. For some reason the radiation didn't just
project a copy of us, it somehow replicated our molecular patterns.
Daniel: Could that
have something to do with the warp core?
Armond: I dunno,
our warp core is a lot different than other ships.
Daniel: The other
Daniel was complaining that the warp core on thier ship was red, not blue.
Armond: That does
signify a mystery.
Daniel: Good work
Lieutenant. I want you to keep anaylizing this data and when Kugo comes
back, anaylize hers.
Armond: Aye sir.
(The Captian leaves)
(On the second Pheonix-X)(In
the Ready Room)
Red: I am having
doubts about my honour. Now I am a malformality of nature.
Daniel: That's not
true! We are the originals, they are the duplicates!!
Red: Yes sir. ...About
the other Daniel?
Daniel: I don't like
him. After we find out what the problem is with the Warp Nacels, we'll
destroy them.
Red: Heh, heh...he
wastes his time on speculations and other probabilities. Much like a, Starfleet
Officer. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!!
Daniel: That reminds
me. I want changes made, forge a program where we can initiate it at my
command...Combadge frequencies are to be changed. I also want shield locality
to be modified to block the other Pheonix-X's sensor readings, I want the
Pheonix-X to be unable to read the interior of the ship. All passwords
will be changed.. Voice command will be transferred to me only. Okay? Red,
well you don't even wear a Starfleet uniform, but send out a message to
the crew, uniforms aren't nessescary anymore. Oh and, if anyone challenges
your command, kill them. --Do we have Transwarp, the cloak and Multi-Vector
Separation?
Red: Yes sir, all
in perfect shape.
Daniel: Good. Computer,
change the ships' registery name to...Pheonix-V. NX-00002. Command-D-X-Beta-Tango-5-3.
*Computer:
Working....ship now known as the U.S.S. Pheonix-V, NX-00002.
Daniel: Red, go--Oh,
and send Doctor Lox up.
Red: Yes Captian.
(Red leaves the Ready Room)
Daniel: ...Moohoohahahahahahahahaa...!!
![]() |
Light shines on different sides because the Pheonix-V's molecular patterns reverses the energy or light coming on one side, making it shadow, and vise versa. Really. Yah. |
(On
the Pheonix-V)
(In
the Ready room)
Daniel:
Kugo, does Kugo suspect anything?
Kugo:
I don't think so.
(On
the Pheonix-X)
Armond:
I suspect that there is nothing wrong with their propulsion system.
(On
the Pheonix-V)
Red:
How are we going rebuild the warp system without them knowing?
(On
the Pheonix-X)
Daniel:
What do you mean?
Armond:
They are lying. From the readings that Kugo got, everything is in working
order. It's just that the energy is reversed. They are capable of doing
everything we can, of course, but not in this space.
Daniel:
This space?
Armond:
This space is for this Pheonix-X. We are able to create warp bubbles in
this space allowing us to go faster than light. They can do that same thing
with their energy, but it works on different terms.
Daniel:
So they are copies of us right?
Armond:
Right.
Kugo:
But their entire molecular flow is reversed.
Armond:
Yeah, you can say that.
Daniel:
Okay, that means we have a copy Pheonix-X and crew. But their molecular
flow is the inverse of ours. Would thier attitudes be reversed as well?
Armond:
I suppose so. But the radiation affects differently to the different species.
Daniel:
So we have a renegade Pheonix-X. They are sitting ducks where they stand....If
it was I, I would get my ship back online. Then I would finish off the
only threat to my existence.
Kugo:
Then the only way is to have them rebuild their energy coils to the flow
of energy opposite to what they have now?
Armond:
And once that is done, they would annhialate us.
Daniel:
I couldn't say it better than myself. Now, we have to do something about
this.
(Later...)(In
the Conference Room)
Daniel(sits
back): Options...?
Red(slams
his fist on the desk): We have to destroy them, now!! We connot have doubles
of us roaming the galaxy and impersonating us!
Gotens(leans
forward): No way, they're people now. Whether you like it or not, we have
to respect them like they were normal people.
Kayl(biting
her fingernails): They know everything about us. Our fears, our past, everything!
Ensign
Dan: Don't be such a baby. --Oh wait, we could use that to our advantage
and scare the other Kayl! Maybe she'll accidentally blow up the ship.
Gotens:
Well, Kugo? You went to the Pheonix-V, what did you see?
Ensign
Dan: Pheonix-V? I'd choose the letter 'Z' if I were renaming, it gives
it...a zing, don't you think?
Kugo:
I do not have a comment on the name of the ship. But I did notice personality
differences between our crew to thiers. For example, Ensign Gewdeque is
usually loud and annoying. I found that on the Pheonix-V that she was most
quiet and shy.
Gotens:
...I'll be sure to add that to my log.
Kugo:
Everyone was not wearing a Starfleet Uniform. And the lighting was really
bad.
Ensign
Dan: Hey, can we have a non-uniform day too?
(On
the Pheonix-V)
(In
the Captian's Ready Room...)
Captian
Daniel(stands): I have full confidence in you.
Doctor
Lox: Thank you--
Daniel:
Shut up, you Patok and just do it or I will replace you with the EMH.
Lox(heads
for the door): Right, I guess I'll be going....heh, heh...
Daniel:
Not just yet... Guards, give Doctor Lox my thank you.
Lieutenant
GoyCho[narsican](enters the room): Hello.
(GoyCho
knees Lox in the stomach)
Lox(falls
to the floor): Uughh!
(GoyCho
starts punching Lox in the face)
(On
the Pheonix-X)
Daniel:
Is there any way we can use our knowledge of the Radiation to our advantage?
Armond:
Well...--
*Lieutenant
Tong: Captian, I'm detecting another ship.
Kayl:
Oh my God! A third Pheonix-X! When will this hell end!?!
(Everyone
gets up and heads for the Bridge)
(On
the Bridge...)
Daniel:
Report.
Tong:
It's on its way here, warp 2, mark 3 7. We have not come into thier sensor
range yet.
Gotens:
What kind of ship is it?
Tong:
It is a Trill Medical Ship.
Gotens:
...Trill?
Daniel:
Hail the Medical Ship.
(On
the Pheonix-V)
Kayl:
The Pheonix-X is hailing them.
Red(steps
up): ...Initiate.
(On
the Pheonix-X)
*Speng(on
screen): Captian, we have everything you asked for. But, if I may ask,
isn't this against Federation Regulations?
Daniel:
What are you talking about? I never--
<<Beep>><<Beep>>
<<Beep>><<Beep>>
(Screen
goes out)
(On
the SS Mehlow, a Trill Medical Ship)
Hinto:
Connection lost, sir.
Speng:
See? I told you he was rude. These Federation people...
Maggie:
I see.
(The Pheonix-X cloaks)
(On
the Pheonix-X)
Daniel(turns
around): Why did you initiate the cloaking device?
Kayl:
I didn't. According to this, our shields are still up and our cloaking
device has not been activated.
Armond:
Captian, the Pheonix-V's cloaking device is activated. But it is our ship
that is cloaked, not thiers.
Daniel:
Hail the Pheonix-V.
Armond(taps
the control panel): They're not responding.
Daniel:
Hail the Medical Ship.
Armond(taps
the panel): ...Our communication is being jammed.
Gotens:
Can you unjam it?
Armond:
I think so, but it will take me a couple hours. I've seen these jamming
sequences before, I bet it was my double that did this.
Ensign
Dan: Your double was killed, and so was mine. So we're lucky.
Gotens(turns
around): How can they just turn on us like this?
*Kugo:
Kugo to Captian.
Daniel(taps
combadge): Yes Lieutenant?
*Kugo:
Sir, I cannot access the Transwarp Drive. Propulsion system's are inaccesable.
Kayl:
They've got us. All they have to do is push a button and innitiate the
self destruct sequence.
Daniel:
...Self Destruct..? Darn, I forgot. You have the bridge Number One.
(The
Captian enters the Ready Room)
Gotens:
Armond, rotate the Shield Frequencies.
Armond:
Aye sir.
(The Mehlow rondevous' with the Pheonix-V)
(On
the Pheonix-V)(Bridge)
Red:
Do you have the Tachion Coil Spanner we requested?
*Speng(on
screen): Right here Mister Klingon.
Red(stares
away): Hmm...Mister Klingon...I like the sound of that...
Kayl:
Uuhhh...Commander?
Red(shakes
his head): Oh yeah, you may Transport.
*Speng:
Alrighty, I will just need a little time to assemble the Medical Team.
Red:
No! No Medical Team, please.
*Speng:
But--
Red:
Only transport one person!!
*(Speng
glances at Maggie)
(On
the Pheonix-X)(Bridge)
Daniel:
What's our status?
Gotens:
Other than losing control of the ship? I do have this cramp on the left
side of my back, just up near my shoulder.
Lieutenant
Elly[orion](rubs his shoulders): Oh let me get that for you.
Daniel(puts
his hand on his forehead): Arghh, can we please stay concentrated here?
You are supposed to be Starfleet Officers.
Kayl:
So that's why we wear these uniforms...neato.
Gotens:
...A little to the left.
Daniel(paces):
Arrghh.
Armond(sitting
at the communication station): It's not that we don't want to concentrate.
It's just that it has been two hours, and all we've been doing is
watching a Medical Ship transport one person and some supplies over to
our duplicated counterparts.
Gotens:
Yeah...what are they doing over there?
Red:
Getting thier ship back online, unlike us.
Armond:
I've almost severed the jamming signal, just a few more algra-rhythms,
so hold on to your wrinkled Klingon forehead.
Daniel(sits
down): I've gotta recruit.
Red:
Sir, I've detected a Federation Destress Beaken. It's from the Delta Quadrant,
from a Federation Vessel called the U.S.S. Voyager. Ever heard of that
ship?
Daniel:
Hmm...nope.
Gotens:
...No.
Kayl:
Uh, uh.
(The Pheonix-V fires a torpedo on the Beaken. The Beaken explodes)
(On
the Pheonix-X)(Bridge)
Armond:
There, I've got it!! We can now communicate! ...By text only. I'll get
back to you iliterate people.
Gotens(rotates
shoulders): Why is there a Trill Medical Ship helping them with Transwarp
Core problems...?
(On
the Pheonix-V)(Sick Bay)
Lox(with
bruses on his face): I've finally succesfully finished a surgery! Wohoo!
EMH:
Hey, I helped!
Lox:
Huh? Well I can't give credit to a Hologram, what would the medical tools
say?
James
Gotens(sits up): You are such a physco.
Lox:
Sshh! Not in public! I moved the
Gotens
Symbiont from the Night host into
the James host, succesfully. Oh, and if you feel a little queezy when you
sit down, it's just the Tarkeesion Skittle I dropped in your stomach; don't
worry, in about twelve years it will just dissolve.
Gotens(shakes
his head): What are you going to do with Night?
Lox:
I dunno, burn him. He's dead, I'm sure he won't mind.
Gotens(stands
up): Well, I'm not a Federation Officer anymore, I think I'll go steal
a shuttle and hook up with an Orion Slave Girl.
Lox(jumps
up and down): Hohoho, ha! Ha! Computer, erect a level one force field around
the Night body and put the temperature up to 500 degrees! Heh, heh.
(The
Computer complys and Night gets creamated in the middle of the room)
(James
hurries out of the room)
(In
Main Engineering...)
Kugo(taps
combadge): There! Captian! I've reversed the Tachion Polarities!
(In
the Captian's Ready Room)
Daniel(stands
up): Then I think it is about time to shake our booty.
*Computer:
Please request dance music title.
(Daniel
leaves the Ready Room)
(Bridge...)
Daniel: I think the
first issue at hand is to get rid of our help. After all, it's not like
we'll need their services anymore.
Red: I understand.
Fire-
Daniel: Get ready
to fire photons at their warp engines.
Red: Like I was saying,
fire on their warp engines.
(Pheonix-V fires upon the Trill vessel. It explodes and everyone on the ship dies.)
(On the Pheonix-X)
Elly: Our sister
ship has just opened fire on the trill vessel. It is destroyed. No survivors.
Daniel: What?
Elly: Our sister
shi-
Daniel: I heard you
the first time. I'm just kidding with you bud. ...-Where did that come
from?-...
Armond: One more
algo-rythym left sir.
Daniel: I was just
going to ask that.
Armond: Done.
Daniel: Great. Restart
systems from the start.
Red: Captain, we
are getting a message from the other ship.
Daniel: On screen.
*Daniel2: Well, it
seems that you have severed our link.
Daniel1: It appears
so.
*Daniel2: Let me
guess. You are planning to restart your systems and destroy us.
Daniel1: Perhaps.
*Daniel2: Then I
guess we aren't as alike as you think. Because once you initiate your tactical
systems I will destroy your vessels with a pair of torpedoes.
(Captain motions for the
signal to be cut)
(On Pheonix-V)
Daniel: I think that
should convince them that we're not joking.
Red: After all, we're
going to kill them anyways.
(On Pheonix-X)
Daniel: Kugo and
Armond, is that possible? Can they really destroy us that easily?
Kugo: Yeah.
Armond: Their sensors
would be able to read our systems powering up and they can act faster than
our systems powering up.
Daniel: We need to
destroy them. Any suggestions?
Gotens: I have one.
Daniel: Okay.
Gotens: How about
if we reroute main power through the auxilliary power distributors. From
there they would never suspect our systems.
Kugo: But our weapons
they can detect.
Gotens: Well.....let
me finish. I didn't say that we would power up weapons.
Daniel: What exactly
are you saying?
Gotens: We'll use
that power to make a Transwarp 1 jump. We'll lose them for about one minute
expecting pursuit. We can power up weapons and counter attack.
Daniel: Sounds good.
Make it so.
(On Pheonix-V)
Daniel: Everything
is going as planned. They are like putty in my hands. Get ready to fire
on them. Lock on torpedoes 3 and 4. Fire on my mark.
(On Pheonix-X)
Gotens: Power rerouted.
Daniel: Good. Transwarp
1 jump on my mark.
(On Pheonix-V)
Daniel: Fire!
(On Pheonix-X)
Daniel: Engage!
(The Pheonix-X warps out. The torpedoes explode where the Pheonix-X was.)
(On Pheonix-V)
Red: Sir, their ship
has jumped to warp before we nailed them. Shall we pursue?
Daniel: Definitely.
Make it so.
(Their ship jumps to warp
and pursuits)
(On Pheonix-X)
Daniel: All stop
and bring us about. Power weapons and lock. Fire!
(Torpedoes are fired on
intercept to the other ship)
(On Pheonix-V)
Daniel: Oh Sh--
(Pheonix-V was destroyed with a big boom)
END.
