Nomad seeks perfection....
Star Trek: Remember the episode with Nomad?
Captain's Log, stardate supplemental. We have
taken aboard Nomad, an alien probe whose mission
it is to destroy all forms of life which are not
perfect. Dr. McCoy seems especially concerned.
"Blast it, Jim, we've got to stop it," said
McCoy. "It's just zapped Lieutenant Uhura!"
"She was singing off-key, Doctor," said Spock
defensively.
"IM-PERFECT." The Nomad unit blasted two
security guards.
"Blast your logic!" said McCoy. "We've got
to do something! None of us here is perfect."
"Perfect," said Kirk. "That's it," he said.
"What's it?" said McCoy, always the slow one.
"IM-PERFECTION." The Nomad unit blasted two
more security guards.
"If we sent it to a place where everyone was
nearly perfect...."
They rushed Nomad to the transporter room,
and just in time, too; they were running out of
security guards.
80 years later....
"Captain," said Data. "I'm picking up an
object, coming out of a space-time disturbance on
our starboard bow...."
