<p><b>New page</b></p><div><poem><br />
Kidd's Navigator<br />
Captain, we caught something in the hyper-dredge.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Aha. I love to go fishing. See what we've caught. Reel it in!<br />
Squeegie<br />
Booty!<br />
Kidd's Navigator<br />
Alien spacecraft... Ah, just a small one.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Check the ship directory, let's see what we've got.<br />
Squeegie<br />
Shake your Booty-<br />
Kidd's Navigator<br />
Uh-oh<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
What?<br />
Kidd's Navigator<br />
A Traash fighter!<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
The Traash!<br />
Squeegie<br />
Oh no!<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Get rid of it; send it back into hyperspace!<br />
Kidd's Navigator<br />
Too late, captain. It's firing at us!<br />
Squeegie<br />
Uh-oh<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Emergency procedure. Get us out of here while there still only one ship.<br />
Squeegie<br />
Hurry! Hurry!<br />
Captain Kidd sounding like poe-ugh<br />
Invasion fleet! Initiate hypershunt!<br />
Kidd's Navigator<br />
Where to, Captain?<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Anywhere, as long as it's not here. Drop a cluster of anit-matter bombs. We'll leave the Traash a present. Initiate hypershunt now. --- Aaagh, where are we going?<br />
Kidd's Navigator<br />
Uh, I don't know...driftspace coordinates are damaged. I think we're heading into human space."<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Human space? Oh good. Quick, raise the League colors. Aaagh, what's that?<br />
Kidd's Navigator<br />
It's a ship, sir.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
A ship? Left! Right! Aaagh!<br />
Squeegie<br />
help! ooh!<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Aagh<br />
some Ranger male human voice<br />
Pressure normal, return to stations.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
What the..?? @#!%#@! Those fools rammed my ship!<br />
some Ranger<br />
It's a ship called the Iron Falcon, Sir. They have a fire emergency and seek assistance.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
The Iron Falcon! That's captain Kidd and his band outlaws. What are they doing in human space?<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Hmm hmm.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
You crazed birn headed bandit! What do you think you're doing?<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Crazed? Birn headed?<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
You're under arrest.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
For what?<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
For whatever I can dig out of the computer files.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
But human! The Traash are coming! The Traash are invaiding this sector of space!<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
Traash? What's he talking about?<br />
some Ranger<br />
I've no idea.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
Get that mutated chicken up here! Ok, Kidd, start squawking.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Very little is known about the Traash expept that they tolerate no other life-forms in their sector of space.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
Well, what are they doing out here?<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Ah --- One got caught in my hyper dredge. Then their fleet came.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
How did you escape?<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
We fooled em, we dropped antimatter bombs to cover our escape.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
That's a good one.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
The queen of the crown is so afraid of the Traash, that her fleets never engage them.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
What does this Traash want?<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Impossible to say. They are an insect species. They swarm and they exterminate all other forms of life.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
What!?<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
In the Traash sectors of space, there exists no life but the Traash themselves.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
And you brought them here!<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Ohhh!<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
Get me BETA mountain on the freeway!<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Ohh, they're here!<br />
some Ranger<br />
Commander Blade, an unidentified alien fleet has appeared in the system.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
You're in big trouble bird. Go to condition red. Battle stations!<br />
some Ranger<br />
Sir, we estimate one thousand ships.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
FIRE!<br />
Shane Gooseman<br />
This is Galaxy Ranger Gooseman.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
All right!<br />
% You're before? <br />
Shane Gooseman<br />
Ranger interceptor is closing in. --- All fighters, hold your position. Elma, lock in target.<br />
Elma<br />
Target locked.<br />
Commander Joseph Walsh<br />
Ranger 1, you're to rendezvous with the Commanche. Interceptor squadron has the dreadnaught covered.<br />
Niko<br />
The Traash fleet is huge.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
We're completely outnumbered. That's where we come in, right?<br />
Commander Joseph Walsh<br />
It's a stalemate. It's crazy form them, just to attack us like this without provocation. We have to find a way to communicate before we annihilate each other.<br />
Niko<br />
We have the mindnet device. We'll try to achieve a mindlink with the Traash high command.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
I get it. We're gonna force them to talk to us, even if they don't want to.<br />
Commander Joseph Walsh<br />
The Andorians think the Traash have never communicated with another lifeform.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
Oh great! So we're gonna be the first. We either make history, or ...<br />
Niko<br />
... we'll never come back.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
I should be getting used to this by now. When you got a mission that's totally impossible just send for the Galaxy Rangers!<br />
Niko<br />
Initiating hyperjump. Now.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
The Traash!<br />
Zach<br />
We'll have to outrun them.<br />
Niko<br />
Traash fighters closing in.<br />
Zach<br />
Take evasive action.<br />
Shane Gooseman<br />
This is the ranger interceptor group. We got you covered. Hold tight guys.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
Congrats my Gooseman, that was good shooting!<br />
Shane Gooseman<br />
All in a day's work, Doc.<br />
Niko<br />
The frigate Commanche up ahead.<br />
Zach<br />
They're readying a space deck for us. Give him our BETA security code, Doc.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
Right, captain.<br />
Zach<br />
We got here as fast as we could. It's been pretty hot out here by all reports.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
You can say that again.<br />
Niko<br />
Commander Walsh has briefed us on our mission. We're to make contact with the Traash high command.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
I just got the orders concerning the mission over the deep space hyperlink.<br />
Zach<br />
BETA believes that if we can just break through the frontlines and make contact with the Traash, we can stop the fighting.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
Well, we've targeted the Traash high command in a System near Spica. Take a look. Their flag ship is nine miles wide. We're going in on a diversionary attack. While the Traash are busy dealing with that, we'll drop you guys off on the top of the flagship.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Let go of me, swinedogs! Galaxy Rangers! I heard you were here.<br />
Zach<br />
Well, Captain Kidd.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
Arrest that bird.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
No wait. Here. Traash Warriors.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
He! Get me the phone. I need to call the exterminator.<br />
Niko<br />
That's exactly the problem, Doc. We're such alien species to each other that the first thing we think of is extermination. That's why we have to talk to them.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Yeah, well I tried that once and I...<br />
Zach<br />
You communicated with the Traash!<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Well, only the warriors. Why are you looking at me like that?<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
You escaped from the Traash?<br />
Niko<br />
I thought no one even talked with them.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
I did! But a long time ago.<br />
Zach<br />
Kidd, you're coming with us.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Oh. Me and my big beak. I was lucky to escape, I squawked my way out. You can't do this to me.<br />
Squeegie<br />
Never, never, never!<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
Oh yeah? We'll see about that.<br />
Niko<br />
But Captain Kidd, you're the only one who has ever seen a Traash warrior.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
I'll pound your ship and arrest your crew.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Oh. I, ... The Traash warriors are demons in battle.<br />
Niko<br />
Now that's something I'm curious about. How did you ever manage to escape?<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
I listened to the command Traash. They used a pattern of whistles to control the warriors workers, like this. (whistles) Like a lovesick teenager.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
... or a saxophone having a toothpull.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
So I imitated the command whisles. I escaped while the command Traash were still fighting their own warriors.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
Well, you'll just have to whistle while we work.<br />
Zach<br />
Captain Kidd, let's go. We've got a date with the Traash high command.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Ohhhh.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
The battle pods will get you onto the outer hull of the flagship. From there, you're on your own.<br />
Zach<br />
Thanks Ned, we're ready.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
Just get us to the drop point, Commander, we'll do the rest. Right Kidd?<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Hey, where is Squeegie?<br />
Squeegie<br />
Hmm, hee he.<br />
some Ranger<br />
Coordinates fixed. Approaching Spica system.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
Here we go. There it is. All batteries stand by. Decellerate. We've got one chance for the drop.<br />
some Ranger<br />
Three, two, one...<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
NOW!<br />
Zach<br />
Let's go. We don't wanna hang around out here.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
If the Traash are going to hyperspace now ...<br />
Niko<br />
...we become disassociated subatomic particles.<br />
Shane Gooseman<br />
Just as the Andorians predicted. This sector is outside the life support zone. No atmosphere, so no alarms when we cut the hull.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
Kidd, don't you ever take exercise?<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Eh --- my wife has a million things that need to be done at home.<br />
Zach<br />
Follow me. This leads to the central section. There's air inside, should be a little musty, but breathable.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
I'll be glad to get this helmet off.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
Step back, folks. Pathfinder, show time.<br />
Pathfinder<br />
Let me at it!<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
Huh. Traash don't waste money on interior decor, do they?<br />
Niko<br />
I doubt they even think of it. Oh oh. Lifeforms are ahead.<br />
Shane Gooseman<br />
Take cover.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Traash worriers.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
And you're gonna make them blow over with a whistle?<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Oh --- they're the workers!<br />
Shane Gooseman<br />
Why don't they attack?<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
They're not programmed to. They didn't even sense us. As far as they're concerned, we aren't there! The high command. Stand back, watch me now. I will blow the whistle and paralyze them. (whistles)<br />
Niko<br />
I suggest, Captain Kidd, that you try your command whistle again. Perhaps in a lower key? There are more warriors coming from the other direction!<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Aw! This is a different fleet!<br />
Zach<br />
Kidd, hurry it up or we're bug food.<br />
Niko<br />
Perhaps you should try a higher key. --- Not that either.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
It's hard to concentrate.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
Boy these boys are in for a surprise when they eat Zachery. Running low on ammo.<br />
Niko<br />
Hey, Captain Kidd, do that again.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Oh, well.<br />
Niko<br />
No, higher.<br />
Zach<br />
Ok, why they're sleeping, let's get to those controls. Keep whisteling! Doc, hit those computers. See what you can do to close those doors.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
Pathfinder, Tripwire, interaction.<br />
Pathfinder<br />
You got it, Doc.<br />
Shane Gooseman<br />
Phew, that's a relief.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
Gooseman, you have no idea just how much of a relief. If you'd become one of them permanently, I ...<br />
Shane Gooseman<br />
Don't bug me Doc.<br />
Niko<br />
According to Waldo, this has a 50\% chance of working. But it's the only hope we've got of finding out how they think.<br />
Zach<br />
Niko, this is one delicate job I'm glad to leave in your hands.<br />
Shane Gooseman<br />
Hey guys, hurry it up. I hear something coming.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
What are they saying?<br />
Zach<br />
I don't know, but here comes trouble.<br />
Shane Gooseman<br />
Use your thunderbold, Zach! Kidd, start puckering.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
How is Niko?<br />
Zach<br />
No change.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Niko, are you there?<br />
Niko<br />
Yes.<br />
Zach<br />
What is it?<br />
Niko<br />
The fear. The terrible fear. Of all other life. All life is dangerous!<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Is she communicating with them?<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
By the sound of it, yes.<br />
Niko<br />
Oh. The fear. The two leg things, they are terrible, terrible. They will attack. Always the two leg things attack.<br />
Zach<br />
Sounds as if the Andorians were right: the Traash live in fear of other lifeforms.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
We're the two leg things, right? Let's see: one, two.<br />
Zach<br />
They're as afraid of us as we are of them.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
Captain, we found the Traash databank. Their computers are pretty old fashinoed. Programming is virtually antique bubblehead.<br />
Zach<br />
Can you isolate this chamber? Niko could use a little more time.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
I think so. You tweakers, hit the security codes!<br />
Niko<br />
We mean you no harm. We're a peacefull race. There are many systems in the galaxy, you don't need ours.<br />
the Traash<br />
You offer peace?<br />
Niko<br />
We do not have to fight.<br />
the Traash<br />
But the two leg things attack.<br />
Niko<br />
We will destroy you, if we have to. We're strong. You will only decimate your species. Let us have peace instead.<br />
the Traash<br />
Peace. Hmm. The war has cost us many ships. Many warriors are missing.<br />
Niko<br />
Open your mind to mine. You will know that we bring you the truth.<br />
the Traash<br />
We will do this. Begin. --- Never have we known peace.<br />
Niko<br />
Than stop the fighting.<br />
the Traash<br />
This peace is something we have dreamed of. But always the other things attacked us.<br />
Niko<br />
They were frightened of you. If you accept peace, than other species will leave you alone.<br />
the Traash<br />
Ouuhh, ouuhh. Ouuhh, ouuuhh, ouuhh. It will be done.<br />
all<br />
Ouuhh, ouuhh, ouuuhh.<br />
Walter 'Doc' Hartford<br />
Now I've seen everything.<br />
Niko<br />
Well, Captain Kidd, not a bad day's work.<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
I think I lost weight.<br />
Squeegie<br />
You're still tubby.<br />
Commander Ned Blade<br />
Zach, what about recruiting Kidd for the Galaxy Rangers?<br />
Zach<br />
What do you say Kidd?<br />
Captain Kidd<br />
Well, I can blow the whistle on the whole operation.<br />
'''Walter 'Doc' Hartford <br />
No! Please! Anything but that.<br />
