I think they did that with a Vulcan artifact and the True Sword of Kahless.

I run a crossover adventure with Demon with a Glass Hand and another one with the X-Files. Both were really fun. I also have abused the Mythos in my campaigns. Finally, in my Trekverse, there's a quarantined sector, called Thoril, where the inhabitants display anomalous psychic phenomena (think Gary Mitchell). This is just an excuse to place RPG fantasy worlds in Star Trek, liek Forgotten Realms.

Tchau!

But it is YOUR other aspects that I'm afraid of knowing. :eek:

Also the TNG novel "The Devil's Heart."

I would like to see Star Trek & Firefly/Serenity.

I would love to see how Kirk would handle Mel & crew.

Kirk would seduce Inara, which would piss off Mal, and then both captains would be brawling.

River would follow around Mr. Spock, annoying him.

McCoy would get Simon drunk on illegal Romulan Ale.

Scotty would be smitten by Kaylee like the daughter she never have.

Jane would be outside removing the Enterprise warp engines, being followed by a Yeoman Rand on a crush.

Book would be breaking all vows of chastity with Uhura.

All the while, Wash and Zoe are on their "honeymoon" phase.

But who would win.

Kirk or Mel?

I vote for Mel.

:confused:

Who's Mel? Mel Torme? Mel of Mel's Diner in Alice?

Mel is the captain of Serenity, Firefly Transport.

Reg was trying to point out that you keep calling him Mel; everyone calls him "Mal" - short for Malcolm Reynolds. And i'd put my money on him too if it wasn't for the power of the all mighty "Kirk Double Fist" hammer blow which can take out even the mightiest of alien warriors.

Only Mal doesn't have any vital areas (due to numerous war injuries), and Kirk might mistake a knee for the groin.

:p

"Mal. Bad...in Latin."

Who's better? Mal? Okona (TNG, William Campbell)? Harry Mudd?

REG, how could you leave out the one and only, Han Solo?

You have issues with Superhero gamers but you support STAR WARS the arch-nemesis of Star Trek... Bomb shelter indeed keep - digging boy'o we're comin' for ya!

Oh, there is no need to fight. In these dark times, when sci-fi is under attack by those who would dillute it's thought provokeing content to make a buck, or by those who think it's 'outdated' as our reality becomes more technocentric and darker than your average cyber-punk novel.

On my book shelf, the Three 'Star' Franchises live in harmony. TREK, WARS and GATE, all interesting, all good in their own right (all cancelled? what is up with that anyway? I mean if we were all supposedly throwing our weights at one thing or another, you would think that ONE of the lines would still be out there...)

And, even if you HATE SW, you have to admit, the Han Solo character is a great piece of anti-hero goodness.

No, I have issues of Pokemon in my Star Trek. :p

Dude, Han Solo is as anti-hero as Aladdin is a felonious thief.

Even I wouldn't be cheering for Luke to blow up the Death Star. I wouldn't even admit saving his ass.

OK . . . someone mentioned Aliens in Star Trek . . . well why not? Mix them with those Anti-Trill from the DS9 relaunch and you have a pretty good combo going.

I mean . . . I think an equal numbered group of aliens v klingons or Jem'Hedar . .. would, if able to get in range . . . kick far more ass then either humoid.

AvP onboard VOY.

Just for kicks, throw in Brannon Braga and Rick Berman as extras.

Well, I figured since Snakes on a Plane is based on and promoted by internet bloggers, we should offer this idea to Paramount to make a blockbuster film, too.

Give B&B Red Shirts from the TOS series . . . have them like two crewmen who walk out of the holodeck, then get pounced on . . . and their bodies incenerated in the "attempted rescue."

Strange that someone would say 'aliens and Trek'---

According to something I read about episodes of various (mostly NG) that never got made, one was a breakout of 'Regulan Bloodworms', which was orginally pitched as being inspired by the Alien movies.

I think it was shot down because it was very 'un-Trek'

mostly true story.

Only when he shoots first.

Although, strictly speaking, I don't know if I'd class Solo as an "Anti-hero." He's more of a "Rogue."

What . . . because it involves alot of subtrefuge and alot of needless ranged combat . . . guts and glory.

I think we've shown that Star Trek is more then capable of that . . . and it can be done in a thoughtful intellegent way if written correctly.

Nope. Don't see it at all.

:p

What would a phaser or disruptor do against an alien . . . how energy absorbant are their exoscelatons? Would you still get splash damage? What about a borg afied aliens . . . or would the borgs nanites even be able to pierce the exoscelaton?

Phaser
Stun settings - Shouldn't cause any true damage, I have no idea if it would stun a Xinomorph however.
Heat settings - Have been shown to cause minor explosions in the past. I'd hate to see an Xinomorph go off like a piece of 'pop-corn'...
Low Disrupt - Normal results, I would think, are to be expected. "Xinomorph dies, falls to floor."
High Disrupt/Disintegrate - POOF, no more bug.

Disruptors - being that disruptors function off the principles Shock, Thermal Dynamics, and Concussive Impact I'm not so sure you would want to use on on a Xinomorph. However at the lowest and highest settings results should be about the same as for a phaser.

Borgified Xinomorphs - Ewwww!
You asked if the Nano-tubes would be capable of piercing the exoskeleton Xinomorph. The answer: Most definitely. End result, Borgified puddle of acid. The problem with this is in the physiologic make up of the Xinomorph Drones. First, body fluids are under a decent amount of pressure. Second, the 'blood' of the Xinomorph reacts violently in the presence of oxygen resulting in a molecular level acid. (Yes I have researched the fictional Xinomorph species, as portrayed by Hollywood and Dark Horse Comics) Third, the primary method of nanite delivery is through forced insertion. This would result in the all too familiar acid bath. If the Borg adapted their assimilation to the species in question, i.e. transporter technology, I would say 'Yes, Xinomorph Borg Drones are possible'.

Dear Lord :eek:...I am a geek...:(

Hehe... Xinomorphs could be worth the effort for the Borg... a Xinomorph drone would be a very interesting combat unit, especially with nanites resisting acid : each time a Xinomorph drone spreads "blood", it sends lots of nanites around...

Maybe a good way for Borg to assimilate Xinomorphs would simply be to let some humanoid drones be infected... the 'morph would then emerge from the drone's chest fully assimilated. Now all they'd have to do would be to assimilate a Queen in such a manner, and voilà, lots of nifty ready-to-assimilate Borg eggs.

C5, you are evil (and a scene like that would be WAYYYY better than the one at the end of AVP).

And the 'regulan blood worm' ep wasn't about subtrefuge; it was basicly something more like John Carpenter's "The Thing': parasites infecting a crew of a ship, and how the boarding party gets out without being infected. Lots of phasers and running and trying to get a decent medical scan while the ship's auto destruct was counting down. No thought, just lots of terror.

It might have worked, but I can't see Picard doing the blood test thing like McReedy did.

It might have worked, but I can't see Picard doing the blood test thing like McReedy did.

Why not? It's a standard Starfleret Security test for Founder infiltration. Why not use it for other entities?

Okay, just to be silly:

Star Trek: Transformers.

Finally, a starship can be a member of the cast, too!

"Is that a Borg Sphere?"
"No, it's... UNICRON!!!"

Star Trek + Celebrity Deathmatch= Tsunkatse II!

Klingon vs. Predator vs. Jem'Hadar vs. Hirogen vs. Xenomorph: Cage Match!

How about an aging Miranda getting thrown into BSG: Reimagined at the end of season two . . . just as the cylons are about to land.

So much for a peaceful final trip to the decommissioning ceremony.

Or . . . a japanese-german starfleet security officer, being newly minted, being sent through time just as he was about to start his post graduation leave, to December 6th, 1941.

Or . . . the borg meeting up with those Lego things from SG-1.

Here's one ...

The Minbari fleet jumps into near-Earth space to wipe out the last defenders of humanity in the Battle of the Line only to discover the Starfleet armada assembled there to combat the Borg Cube featured in Star Trek: First Contact (and the Cube ain't there).

Or better yet . . . they arrive just as the Borg comes within targetting distance of 3rd FLT.

OK . . . lets change this around, have third fleet appear . . . via any given alien race, with the ability to do so . . . have them transported to the battle for earth . . . the joint rebellion Earth force/ Ranger fleet looking to take on the Clark/Shadow forces.

How fastly can you warp out, or impusle out . . . what side would you start firing at . . . will they even talk to you?
