Thought I'd share this little adventure with you all.

Captian Kirk- "Captian's Log: Stardate 2134.
Recently we have encountered a weak transmission from an unknown source.
The
signal is very primitave in its technology and far to weak to decode at
this
time. We are entering the Gamma Quadrant in hopes of tracking down the
source of this mysterious transmission. Kirk out."
Mr Spock peers into his scope, green light covers the upper part of his
face
as waves and lines scramble across numorous monitors.

Spock- "Captian, it appears as if this signal is coming from a planet in
the
Sony system. A small inhospitible planet full of noxious gasses called
Verant X."

Captian Kirk- "What sort of intelligent life form could live in such a
place? Mr. Sulu, set up the deflector dish array with an ion pulse to help
pinpoint the transmission source."

Mr Sulu- "Aye Captian."

Lt. Uhura- "Captian, Im getting a much stonger signal now."

Captian Kirk- "Onscreen."

the crew is stunned to see a humanoid life form on the screen smiling at
them all.

Abashi- "Hiya gang! I am Abashi from Verant X!"

Captian Kirk- "We intercepted your signal. Are you in need of assistance?"

Abashi- "No, silly. The signal you intercepted, as you so quaintly put it,
God I just love roleplaying, was actually an enhancement to your ship we
were patching to you. You didnt really need to respond."

Captian Kirk- "I dont understand...enhancement? What have you done to my
ship? Shields up! Red alert!"

Abashi- "Oh stop..you dont even know if youll like it or not. We just
thought that warp speed was a little too unbalancing. The Klingons and
Romulans dont get to go nearly that fast. Trust me, its only a small change
to your speed. Maybe 10% to 50%."

Captian Kirk- "Scotty! I want a complete report on all warp drives. I want
to know what this fiend has done to us!"

Mr Scott- "Aye Captian"

Abashi- "Oh youre not going to start whining now are you? I just hate it
when people whine."

Mr Spock- "Captian, I am not certian, but it would appear that our forward
shields have been reduced to almost half their normal power."

Captian Kirk- "What??? You, you Abashi being, why are you doing this? We
came to aid you and you attack us?"

Abashi- "Oh gee...you are going to whine now arent you. Well, I guess I'll
just have to call you a whiner then. Whiner!"

Captian Kirk- "Mr Chekov, arm all photon torpedo bays and fire!"

a moment of scilence...

Captian Kirk- "Mr Chekov?? Where is Mr Chekov? What have you done with
him??"

Abashi- "Oh...well we here at Verant decided that you really didnt need
him.
All he did really was shoot your guns, so we felt for the sake of balance
that you could live without the extra crewman."

Mr Scott- "Captian..I dont believe my eyes. We left dock with a full supply
of dilithium crystals, and now were down to almost nothing! I dont
understand what is going on."

Captian Kirk- "Why are you doing this? Who are you really?!?"

Abashi- "I told you, Im Abashi from Verant X. This is my leader, Brad."

Brad- "Hi..I hope you like the new improved Enterprise!"

Captian Kirk- "No I...hey, whered he go??"

Abashi- "Oh, hes a very busy guy. He doesnt like to mingle with the lesser
beings."

Captian Kirk- "Ive had enough of this. Mr Spock, form an away team. Were
going down there to meet these _things_ face to face!"

Mr Spock- "Aye Captian."

A few minutes later in the transporter room...

Mr Spock- "Fascinating, it would appear that half of our crew has vanished
without a trace, and the only reasoning for this is the Abashi creatures
word "balance"."

Captian Kirk- "I know Spock...but what does he mean by it? What sort of
balance could he mean?"

Dr McCoy- "Jim, I got here as fast as I could. I had a patient that was
only
half there and I'll be damaned if all of my tools were missing!"

Captian Kirk- "Everyone put on your gasmasks...Alright Mr Scott, beam us
down."

A shrill sound spurs the machine into action as Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and
three nameless redshirts vanish in a sparkling mist...

Upon materializing onto the Verant X surface loud screams are heard...

Three redshirts- "AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHH!!!"

Captian Kirk- "What happened?!?"

Mr Spock- "It would appear that they were instantly killed just as they
materialized onto the surface."

Captian Kirk- "Why? Why are we still alive? I see nothing around us that
would have done this and left us here."

Dr McCoy- "Theyre dead Jim."

The three survivors look around in astonishment at the unforgiving
surroundings. Craggy rocks jutt out of the surface of the planet. Various
colors of mist and gas swirl around gaping holes. Hissing noises and the
bubbling of super heated liquids are the only sounds...

On a very primitave intercom loud speaker, Abashi's voice pierces the men
like a rusty nail...

Abashi- "Ok guys, how do you like our newest addition to the planet?"

Captian Kirk- "You just killed three of my men damn you!"

Abashi- "Oh dont start whining again please. Just get over it..its no big
deal."

Captian Kirk- "No big deal? Where are you! Come out here and face us!"

..brief silence...

A sudden whirring noise is heard and McCoys arms vanish from his body,
*poof*

Captian Kirk- "My God man! What are you doing to us!?!?"

Abashi- "Were making it better. We know what were doing, you dont. I wont
talk to you anymore if you keep insulting me."

Dr McCoy- "Damnit! Im a doctor not a circus freak! How can I operate with
no
arms? My patience will all die!"

Abashi- "Well, we took away your arms because you were fixing everyone too
easily. BUT...we did give you three extra toes to compensate for it."

Captian Kirk- "Three extra toes?? How is this supposed to help him or us?
Youve killed off half my crew, youve left my ship crippled and open to any
attack! What sort of beings are you??"

Abashi- "I told you to stop telling us what is best for you...we know all
about what is best."

suddenly Mr Spock starts weeping uncontrollably....

Captian Kirk- "What have you done to Spock?!?!"

Abashi- "Nothing...we never touched him. I dont know what youre talking
about, infact I think youre just making it all up so we will give you
something for free. Your just a whiner!"

Captian Kirk- "Im telling you! Hes a Vulcan, he isnt supposed to cry,
laugh,
or have any emotions damn you!"

Abashi- "Oh wait...youre right. We took out his emotions because we thought
that not having any made him too effective under pressure, so now all
Vulcans will have emotions...but they are only little ones."

Mr Spock is still weeping like a baby, now curled up on the ground in a
fetal position, Dr McCoy is running around bumping into walls because
shortly after his arms were taken, his eye lids were made to only stay open
for 2 minutes every 24 hours....

Captian Kirk- "Damn you!!!"

Abashi- "I dont know what youre getting all upset about really. Its all so
things will be better from now on. Trust us."

Captian Kirk- "Mr Scott! Beam us up now!"

Mr Scott breaks through on the comlink with a scratchy transmission...

Me Scott- "Captian, Im getting an error from the transporter. Its telling
me
it cannot beam you up!"

Captian Kirk- "What??? Ok, Abashi...what have you done now??"

Abashi- "Oh, did I forget to tell you?..you need a redshirt in your party
inorder to beam in or out of here."

Captian Kirk- "What?? Our men died as soon as they teleported down! How do
you expect us to get out??"

Abashi- "I know...its quite the challenge isnt it? Heh heh heh."

Mr Spock is still on the ground crying, Dr McCoy has gotten his leg stuck
in
some sort of crater, and Captian Kirk, sweating profusely yells....

"DAAAAAAAMMMMMMMNNNNN YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!!!!!"

The end?
