BRIDE OF CHAOTICA!
Episode 106
Part B

 

Voyager's bridge.
Tuvok: "I believe I have an explanation. Sensors show that we've entered a layer of subspace. It's disrupting our warp field."

Janeway: "Do we have impulse?"
Chakotay: "Yes."
Janeway: "Engage at full."

Engines are engaged.
Tuvok: "No change in our position."
Janeway: "Route all available power to the engines."
Tuvok: "We're not moving."
Chakotay: "The impulse reactor's running hot. We're heading for an overload."
Janeway: "Give it all she's got. Full thrusters."

Chakotay, having to speak loudly to be heard above the sound of the complaining engines: "No effect. Reactors are critical."
Janeway: "Abort." The engine sounds die. "Increase power to the structural integrity field. We may be here awhile."

On board Proton's rocket ship.
Paris: "It's no use. I can't disengage the program."

Kim: "Well, you'd better think of something fast, Proton. A second distortion just appeared. Whatever they are, they're getting bigger."

View of the distortions through the periscope.

Paris: "Hold on. I've got access to the transporter. I'm going to try a site-to-site."
Kim: "There's a third one."
They beam out.

They materialise in the corridor outside the Holodeck.

They immediately start to head away.

 

 

 

 

Astrometrics Lab.
Seven: "I've run a trans-spectral analysis. The area between space and subspace is unstable throughout this region."
Torres: "Basically, we've run aground on a subspace sandbar. I've tried realigning the warp field, reversing hull polarity."
Paris jokes: "Maybe we should just get out and push."
Seven: "The gravimetric forces are disrupting our control systems."
Torres: "As long as we're trapped here we won't have access to the computer core, tactical, holodecks, and all but six replicators."
Janeway: "What about those distortions on the Holodeck? What's the connection?"
Seven: "They appear to be random energy fluctuations. I don't believe they pose a threat."
Janeway: "Let's keep an eye on them anyway, and evacuate that deck just to be safe." She is thoughtful for a moment, then: "A few years back when I was a science officer on the Al-Batani, we tried to navigate a dense proto-nebula. It stopped us dead in our tracks. For three days we attempted to force our way out, until we realised we were trying too hard."
Torres: "Captain?"
Janeway: "Every time we engaged the engines, we were increasing the resistance of the nebula's particle field. We may be facing a similar situation-"
Seven interrupts: "Our own warp field may be increasing the gravimetric forces. If we power down the core and use minimal thrusters we might be able to break free."
Janeway: "You took the words right out of my mouth."
Seven: "Your plan could work."
Torres to Seven, sarcastically: "Now that we have your blessing."
Janeway: "Let's give it a try."

Two aliens transport onto Planet X.

The alien transport beam.

The aliens appear. They appear to look like "natives" complete with "native garb" in order to blend in.

They start scanning using portable devices.

They see the Fortress of Doom.

Suddenly Lonzak and his guards come upon them.
Lonzak: "Halt, in the name of Chaotica!"

The aliens spread their hands to show they will offer no resistance.
One alien addresses Lonzak: "We intend no harm."

Lonzak to his guards: "Seize them!" The guards pinion the strangers as Lonzak activates his wrist-radio and speaks to the guards at the Fortress of Doom. "Lower the drawbridge. We are bringing prisoners."

Inside the hall of the Fortress of Doom, Lonzak is about to enter the hall (or throne room).

Chaotica: "Yes, yes, yes, Lonzak, what do you want?"
Lonzak: "Your Majesty."

Chaotica: "Where's Proton?"
Lonzak, embarrassed: "He....e-escaped."
Chaotica: "Fool! You will pay for your incompetence!"

Chaotica to the robot: "Seize him!"
Satan's Robot starts to advance on Lonzak: "Surrender."

Lonzak: "But Majesty, I have brought prisoners!"

Chaotica holds up a hand to halt the robot. Disdainfully: "More Earthlings?"
Lonzak: "No! They claim they're from another Dimension."
Chaotica is intrigued: "The Fifth Dimension." He orders Lonzak: "Bring them to me!"

Lonzak claps his hands. Guards bring in the two aliens.
Alien: "Identify yourself."

Chaotica gives a short derisive laugh: "You insult me! I am Chaotica, Ruler of the Cosmos!"

Lonzak: "Kneel before His Majesty. I said, kneel!"
The guards force the prisoners to their knees.

Chaotica: "You have invaded my planet. Why?"
Alien: "To contact other photonic lifeforms, to learn from them."
Chaotica: "Are you alone or are you the vanguard of an invading army?"
Alien: "We are explorers."
Chaotica: "I am growing weary of this charade. Your armies will be no match for my space force. We'll crush you like insects!"
Alien to his companion: "They are hostile. This contact should be terminated." His companion nods agreement.

Chaotica: "Indeed. Lonzak, execute them!" Lonzak fires at the alien companion....

.....and vapourising him. Goodheart screams.

The first alien quickly activates a control on his scanner and transports out.

Constance Goodheart screams.

The alien transport beam, which saves the alien from death.

The alien vanishes without trace.
Chaotica is contemptuous: "Coward! He'll learn there's no escape from Chaotica." To Lonzak: "Gather my space force. Power the Death Ray!"
Lonzak: "At once, Majesty."

Chaotica to Satan's Robot: "Take Miss Goodheart to Arachnia."

Chaotica continues to the robot: "Invite the Queen to join me in battle. Together we will rain destruction on the Fifth Dimension!"

Goodheart screams as the robot advances upon her.
