"Okay, I am gonna stand over here and all y'all in red can just wait right there while the engineering crew moves this big-ass shuttle that's been stalling out randomly..."
Children of Gallifrey were taken from their families at the age of eight to enter the Academy. Some say that's where it all began, when he was a child. That's when Spock saw eternity. As a novice, he was taken for initiation. He stood in front of the Untempered Schism. It's a gap in the fabric of reality through which could be seen the whole of the vortex. We stand there, eight years old, staring at the raw power of time and space, just a child. Some would be inspired. Some would run away. And some would go mad.
SERGEANT:"Not all of you will get these goofy hats. That will take time, training and hard work. But if you ARE Starfleet material, you'll not only get the hat...but you'll get more velour than you'll ever know what to DO with!"
Welcome to your Starfleet Academy final examination! You will note the fiery exhaust of the oncoming shuttlecraft! The three of you standing at my side have passed! The rest of you will die horribly from burns or radiation poisoning!
I'm blushing with pride at being a winner in the last contest I am in very good company - these caption threads are the most reliably funny on the BBS.
It's amazing how much Lil' Spock looks like he is actually related to Winona Ryder. Impressive casting!
SERGEANT:"Alright...first up before we begin the shuttle orientation...
Who wants to come later and see me naked in the communal showers?
Anyone?
No? Nobody??
Well.
Your loss, losers."
"One day...I'm going to grow up to travel back in time and wear a white hippie robe and headband on 20th century Earth and help save endangered cetacean life forms! THAT'LL show 'em!"
Commander Carson Beckett jr. jr. jr. jr (Reading from a list): "Right, accompanying Kirk to the newly refiteed Enterprise will be our resident vulcan, Spock, a Doctor Leonard McCoy and an Ensign Ricky."
McCOY:"He better wrap this thing up. I drank an entire bottle of Sluggo Cola on the tram ride over here and my bladder is about to reach critical mass."
Sergeant Beckett: "All right, here are your assignments. Darnell, salt vampire. O'Herlihy, disruptor. Carlisle, crazy space probe. Kaplan, lightning. Hendorff, pod plant. Mallory, exploding rock."
