Space Barge Is Movie Clue: Shipping Grain.......Quadrotriticale Grain

Hello. I am Shilliam Watner and this is my first thread. Think about the barge. It's a dead giveaway. For example, many barges are mainly used to ship grain up and down the Mississippi River. Then the unofficial movie set pics that were released yesterday showing Spock and Cumberbatch's character fighting on what was called a 'Space Barge'. I had a thought, what if this barge is hauling the grain 'Quadritriticale'? I thought of this possible plot. What if Wellers character is the CEO of a grain corporation with a Federation deal that ships Quadrotricale on ‘Space Barges’. I can imagine Wellers character as a evil CEO cutting a nefarious deal to ship the grain that will release (or releases) a plague to the Klingons on behalf of Section 31 but there is trouble. Arne Darvin (Cumberbatch) is a Klingon plant with a twist, he's a augment that has infiltrated the Federation or Wellers company who then turns their plot against them. Is this a plausable possiblity?

I'd say close but no cigar...

But that theory is 100 light years away from the nearest tobacconist.

Needs Stephen Lang as an evil mercenary working for GrainCo.

Maybe it's the barge of the dead from Klingon mythology! You can have your Darvin with that angle too.

That's what I was thinking. Looks a lot like it.

The barge looks empty. Where's the wheat?...
...and don't tell me the tribbles ate it all.

This theory needs more cowbell. Wait...maybe it's an Earth cargo freighter hauling cowbells to music recording sessions on colony worlds?

I like it.
And Cumberbatch can be portraying The Bruce Dickinson.

He puts his Starfleet-issue trousers on one leg at a time. Only then he makes gold holorecordings.

It's from a Federation senator bringing home the pork to his district. They need cowbells for the Cowboy Poetry Festival.

Even in the mid-23rd century politicians are conniving, two-faced bastards with their hands in everybody's pockets. And they don't even have money! That's how bad they are!

Tribble barge is good enough for me.

But it's gotta be crewed by blue Orions.
 
Re: Space Barge Is Movie Clue: Shipping Grain.......Quadrotriticale Gr

A fistfight over a mountain of grain? Sounds like something out of an old John Wayne or Henry Fonda movie. Actually, I don't think it'll be that kind of cargo ship or freighter. But the Arabic numerals on the set clearly show we're dealing with a human vessel of some kind. So we can throw out all the theories of this fight taking place on an alien planet, craft or station.
 
Re: Space Barge Is Movie Clue: Shipping Grain.......Quadrotriticale Gr

Is that why Cumberbatch is screaming? Because he's a Klingon on a barge full of tribbles?
 
Re: Space Barge Is Movie Clue: Shipping Grain.......Quadrotriticale Gr

Something I haven't heard mentioned yet... but if this is something to deal with quadrotriticale, Arne Darvin, etc, wouldn't it be awesome to see a re-imagined station K-7 along with all of this?

Maybe I should get busy. :D

Perhaps "Space Barge" is a misleading way to say "Garbage Scow." Instead of taunting Scotty by saying the Enterprise should be hauled away as garbage, the Klingons make arrangement for this to actually be done?
