With a one-paragraph overview pitch of a sequel being greenlit, a larger draft for later revising is induced. Imagine having to write several, a dozen, or multiple dozen scripts over the course of x number of months and trying to keep them all interesting...
The Kelvins, who were welcomed as friends by Kirk and crew, but not as invaders, were conniving a ruse to take over Starfleet/UFP and infiltrate our galaxy far faster. And now they are out for revenge. But is it real, or is it a product of Kirk's warped mind?
~~~ Stardate: 6942.8675309, probably. Somewhere in what would have been season 4 or 5, when the show starts to look at previous episodes and conjure up sequels instead of writing something new... which isn't a bad thing either way, but before I gidress...
In their first-year post-colonizing, the Federation helped the Kelvins build up their new planet - at the outskirts of the Federation cuz they have cooties (thank Kirk for some of those) - and gave supplies. They also let the Kelvins keep their paralysis field and weaponry since the cube maker also replaced refrigeration for storing food and other sustenances with ease. Note that this is still TOS, where - among other usual tropes - they let Khan read every engineering book about the ship despite every other episode where someone can't go to Engineering because they lack security clearance, which is better than in TNG when they let Security Chief Worf look dumbfounded every time the ship gets under attack by Borg, Ferengi, K'tarians, some random dust mites, et cetera, but this is 1970 and nobody knows any of that yet. All we know is, Kirk always does this since there's otherwise no story to be had. Then again, showing a dozen times where he's betrayed versus how many dozens or thousands of times he isn't leads to a fun question.
Eventually, Rojan decided they had amassed enough power to make another attempt to take over our small small galaxy - this time focusing on not any old random ship due to their egos, but against their benefactors, since they have a whole fleet, and don't know that the Romulans and Klingons exist yet. Wouldn't it be easier if a Romulan ship was passing by their planet one day, at the edge of Federation space because Kirk was being a horse hind?
Since all eleven other remaining high-end starships after the M5 incident were simply nowhere near as interesting, and since no Vulcans or Romulans in go-go boots were on those, but - and conversely - Kirk's kissy lips, along with the rest of him, was, Rojan and Kelinda scheme retake the Enterprise as since Kirk is still in command.
Rojan and Kelinda are now playing Dungeons and Dragons with the isohedronic dice made from Kirk and Spock. Kelinda starts to juggle the blocks like how a gifted toddler might, but unbeknownst to Rojan, Kelinda, seeking particular revenge on her former captor, slips and one of the cubes bangs against a table and a teensy piece falls off.
Cue Kelinda's flashback to being Shahnana'd:
It is now up to Uhura and Scotty to save the day.
Uhura claims she has to go down to Engineering, since they need to fix the communications relays as, even for this trip, they still need to intercept enemy transmissions and ward off possible attacks. Rojan agrees, realizing that - duh - such specialists are still needed. She meets Scotty, drinking water from the dehumidifier but flavored with Scotch, of course, was whining where all the strange green booze went...
With the help of Scotty redirecting power to the newly rekerjiggered comm system to emit a specific frequency tone, the Kelvins turn to dust that looks oddly enough like crushed isohedronic material. Scotty whips out a straw and verbally ponders if this is a good substitute for scotch mixed with green.
With the ship now taken back, they revive the crew. They revive Kirk and Spock. Spock makes an unusual sardonic quip about their being turned. Kirk looks down, then back up, with his hands up and screams in disbelief--
--Kirk suddenly wakes up, and is relieved it was just a nightmare. Then he looks down again after Spock informing him via intercom that the Kelvins have been contained. Kirk calmly acknowledges and then calls Sickbay to get a prosthetic pinky toe (and the foot attached to it), since those pieces could not be repatriated. Kirk then wakes up again all sweaty, then looks down...
The end?
