Bar Trek: The Next Generation. Episode 4: Sore Leave

[Erax]

Won't your basic "Aye, Aye, Cap'n, but the engine's about had it" do ?

A Scot speaking Portuguese ? The only time I ever heard that he was saying something like "Nós perderr parra Costa Rrica. Que verrrgonia."

("We lost to Costa Rica. How shameful.")

Oh, a nice new place, to mess up!

You could be the Geordi Laforge Version of chief engineer. No accent then, but you don't get very good lines. Basically "Allright!" and "I'll get right on it." And you have to fall in love with a holodeck simulation.

No, no, no, no, Erax.

The chief engineer always has to say, "the engines have just about had it Capt'n, but I will get my trusty polaron spanner oot and get you a hundred per cent more power"

Mlmbd, I have already got you down as the voice of the turbolift..

Who are we going to get to do the "Shhh" sounds every time we go through a doorway?

Not quite Cap'n, first I say "The engine's aboot had it" (the accent right ?), then you ask for more power, then I say "All rightie Cap'n, ye'll have yer power but I wouldna try to flush the toilet right now."

Geo: Holodeck simulations have their advantages, they don't age, they can change their appearance at zero cost and they don't own anything (so no need to go shopping with them).

Erax, I do like the idea of Star Trek where Scottie says "you can hav' double power on the phasers if you like Cap'n, but if you flush the electric toilet at the same time, I canna say if you wont burn oot the engines".

OK, you have got the job....

Geo, with respect to the sliding doors, I always felt that "shhhhh" was a little bit of an understatement for them. What we could do if sample a few things, and plays these when the doors open eg "It worse than that, he's dead Jim" or "It's life Jim, but not as we no it" or "We come in peace, shoot to kill" or "You canna change the laws of physics Cap'n" or even "Growltigga is the love god of the Universe"
