The Whale Probe Incident: What Would the Other Captains Have Done?

[T'Girl]

Doctor Smith would disable the whale probe's guidance system with his magnetic ring, then inform it, that it is a "bumbling buffoon."

 

[Kemaiku]

Build a replacement Kelvin, and ram that into it.

 

[Nerys Myk]

The Doctor is fluent in whale song and would give the probe directions to the planet he transplanted the whales to.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Captain Jack Harkness would shag it rotten.

 

[T'Girl]

^ So, the whale probe is a boy?

Sometimes. Though Jack's bi, so it really doesn't matter.

 

[RoJoHen]

Bisexual doesn't even begin to describe Jack Harkness.

The Doctor will accidentally land on the planet in the middle of the storm, the TARDIS will be completely disabled like with the Exxilons, he will put his companion Gillian Taylor in danger and make the situation a hundred times worse by doing complete non-sense and driving her mad, until he realizes he is fluent in whale song and could simply give the probe directions to the planet he transplanted the whales to.

Fixed that for you.

That, or he might accidentally cause the plane to Alaska to drop the whales from 5 km altitude, making Gillian hate him for killing her whales, until we get to the “hello, swimming pool” part.

Harriet Jones ( MP for Flydale North) would have the probe shot down.

 

[Sindatur]

Harriet Jones ( MP for Flydale North) would have the probe shot down.

But not until it had already been beaten, surrendered and was running home with it's tail tucked between it's legs

Gotta make sure it never comes back.

 

[CaptainMatt]

So a Star Trek thread has given way to a Dr Who one? A modern Who one? ...
Good luck.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Seems to be going okay.

 

[CaptainMatt]

Very true. I never had you pegged for a Who fan. My estimation of you has grown.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Yeah, I love Doctor Who. Going all the way back to the 70s. Star Wars too. Hmmm, what would Captain Solo do?

 

[CaptainMatt]

Captain Solo would try to go to lightspeed only to have it fail in mid-attempt.


I love Dr Who and Star Wars as well as Star Trek. Went to the booksellers today and the nice lady got Trek mixed up with Wars!

 

[Nerys Myk]

Solo would provide cover fire while Skywalker exploits the Probe's one weak spot and blows it up.

 

[RoJoHen]

Solo would shoot first, before the Probe had a chance to drain his power.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Calrissian would turn Earth over to Probe.
