Picard: Sigma Indri, that's the star, Data: Our ship can get there very fast Picard: LaForge, please give us factor nine. LaForge: But, sir, the engines are offline! Picard: Offline! But why? I want to go! Riker: But sir, if Geordi says we can't, Picard: But surely we must not be late! Troi: I'm sensing anger and great ire. Computer: Alert! Alert! The ship's on fire! Picard: The ship's on fire? How could this be? Riker: Not me. Worf: Not me. Picard: Computer, how long til we die? Computer: Eight minutes left to say goodbye. Data: May I suggest a course to take? Geordi: Hurray! Hurray! You've saved the day! Picard: Mr. Data, thank you much. Troi: We still must save the Indran planet -- Data: Which (by the way) is made of granite... Picard: Enough, you android. Please desist. Geordi: There's sabotage among the wires Riker: We have a saboteur? Oh, no! Troi: We must seek out the traitor spy Worf: Ask him why? How sentimental. Troi: Are any Romulan ships around? Crusher: Captain, please, the Indrans need us. Picard: Doctor, please, we'll get there soon. Crusher: They may be dead by Tuesday noon. Picard: Did you see this, Mr. Worf? Worf: I did and then I beat him fairly. Riker: My commendations, Klingon friend! Crusher: Now let's get our ship to fly Picard: LaForge, please tell me we can go...? Geordi: Yes, sir, we can. Picard: Then make it so!If Dr. Seuss wrote for Star Trek:

So, Data, please, how far? How far?
But still the trip will last and last
We'll have two days til we arrive
But can the Indrans there survive?
Please make it so, please make it so!
We can't, we mustn't, and we shan't,
The danger here is far too great!
Who lit the fire?
We could, I think, quite safely make
Extinguishers from tractor beams
And stop the fire, or so it seems...
Again I say, Hurray! Hurray!
You've saved our lives, our ship, and such.
We understand -- we get your gist.
But can we get our ship to go?
Please, make it so, PLEASE make it so.
And that's what started all the fires.
We need to go! We need to go!
And lock him up and ask him why?
I say give him problems dental.
Have scanners said that they've been found?
Or is it Borg or some new threat
We haven't even heard of yet?
I sense no malice in this crew.
Now what are we supposed to do?
They cry out, "Help us, clothe us, feed us!"
I can't just sit and let them die!
A doctor MUST attempt -- MUST try!
*COMMERCIAL BREAK, COMMERCIAL BREAK
HOW LONG WILL THESE DUMB ADS TAKE?*
Worf: The saboteur is in the brig.
He's very strong and very big.
I had my phaser set on stun --
A zzzip! A zzzap! Another one!
He would not budge, he would not fall,
He would not stun, no, not at all!
He changed into a stranger form
All soft and purple, round and warm.
Did you see this creature morph?
Hit him on the jaw -- quite squarely.
Our troubles now are at an end!
And orbit yonder Indran sky!
