Captain's Log, Stardate Supplemental: We've encountered the creature known as the crystaline entity, a being that literally feeds on human lives. It recently snacked on Commander Riker's latest girlfriend, and Numba One seems most agitated. "Captain, the crystal entity is approaching us. Shall we raise shields?" said Riker. "Yes, Numba One," said Picard, but, with an afterthought "But only at half strength. We don't want to be unduly provocative." The crystal entity approached. They heard squeaking sounds over the communications system. Worf engaged the universal translator. "-Food food food food food food-" they heard. "Seems to have a one track mind," commented Riker. Picard said, "Crystaline entity. Attention! I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise. We cannot allow you to consume us, not without the express orders of Starfleet command." "-food food food food food food-" said the creature. "Sir, we may not be able to negotiate with it," advised Riker. "We may even have to use weapons-" "Nonsense, Number One!" said Picard. "Would you shoot the bald eagle in your native Alaska? The condor of southern California? Or the Mush- Mush bug of Cyrus II? The crystal entity is an endangered species, like the whooping crane or the sperm whale." "-food food food food food food-" the creature continued. "This sperm whale likes to snack on planets," said Worf angrily. "A technicality," said Picard, with a dismissive wave of the hand. "We can negotiate with it, perhaps persuade it to feed on less inhabited worlds, or other regions of space. Perhaps we could interest it in a Klingon sector-" Suddenly, a half dozen photon torpedoes erupted from the Enterprise, utterly destroying the crystal entity. Picard turned, with raised eyebrows, to Mr. Worf. "Sorry sir," said Worf. "My hand slipped." Picard made a naughty-naughty signal with a finger. "This must be reported." He turned to his log. "Captain's log, supplemental. Lt. Worf has regretably destroyed the crystal entity, just when we were on the verge of a diplomatic breakthrough. And so the crystal entity goes into extinction, along with the doomsday device and the giant outer space amoeba." | ||||||||
