[color=#000000:post_uid0]Two new Next Gen fivers today. New writer Nic Corelli brings us Five-Minute "Symbiosis (http://3sygma.com/fiveminute/nextgen/symbiosis.html)" all the way from Croatia, and saxamaphone turns out another fiver with Five-Minute "Masks (http://3sygma.com/fiveminute/nextgen/masks.html)."[/color:post_uid0]

Picard: Sorry, but the Prime Directive forbids us from interfering with the natural course of your ineptitude.[/quote:post_uid0]
Excellent, Nic. Good debut.

When I read that, I was sure this was going to be a classic. :lol:

[quote:post_uid0]Data: Captain, a distress call is coming from the ship orbiting the fourth planet. It's being sent to the third planet.
Picard: Well, I'm pretty sure we're not the third planet. Turn it off.
Data: Captain, need I remind you that distress calls are an important source of plots? Even good ones, on occasion?
Picard: Oh, in that case, don't turn it off. We certainly need a good plot after that Klingon death-howling episode.[/quote:post_uid0]

"Masks" was really funny too.

[Wonko The Sane]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Great debut Nic! I'm looking forward to more fivers from you!

And as always, great job Sax!

This is gonna keep me laughin' for a while...and has inspired me to start writing my first fiver...5MV "Message in a Bottle".

I'll have it done "soon"
:D[/color:post_uid0]

[Kristina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]In order not to sound redundant: I second Wonko's opinion, to simply quote the most recent. Nice going, both! :D --and as for my reaction to both fivers: :lol:[/color:post_uid0]

[NeoMatrix]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Awesome Fivers. I have been looking forward to seeing a fiver for "Masks" for awhile now. It is one weird episode.[/color:post_uid0]

[Kristina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]...but it's an episode that does show some of the versatility of Brent Spiner. And weird or not, that makes it interesting to me.[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Plus Placard..[i:post_uid0]Picard[/i:post_uid0], sorry, gets to do some of that archelogical stuff that he likes so much.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Uhh, you might want to check before starting that. Unless I'm mistaken, "Message in a Bottle" is one of the episodes with Zeke's name carved on it in stone.[/color:post_uid0]

Hmm...in which case maybe I'll stop.

I've always been wondering why that episode has never been fived, since it's a huge fan favorite.

Oh well. :eyeroll:

EDIT: On second thought, it could always be made into a fiver by committee. Just a thought.[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I'm pretty sure it's one of Zeke's personal favorites, so I seriously doubt that will happen. :bigsmile:[/color:post_uid0]

[Wonko The Sane]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]:::Sigh:::

Guess I should stop watching my tape of that episode now (on about the 3rd time through...taking notes).

I havn't met a trek fan that DOESN'T like "Message in a Bottle", which is why I was so shocked to find out that it wasn't already fived. I've actually been playing around with the idea of fiving it for months now, good thing I never started it.

Thanks for the warning, Kira![/color:post_uid0]

[Saxamaphone]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Nic - that was hilarious :smile:, excellent job and a magnifacant debut :D

Wonko - "Message in a Bottle" is one of my fav. episodes man :) I mean, how can you beat that multi-vector attack mode? Plus Andy Dick as an EMH? I don't know how :bigsmile:

And thanks for the kind words everyone :)[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][quote:post_uid0="Saxamaphone"]I mean, how can you beat that multi-vector attack mode?[/quote:post_uid0]

I'm sure Zeke's got some better jokes up his sleeve though, so I'll wait for his version.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I highly suspect there will be another update tomorrow. Why, no reason...

On another note entirly, just out of curiousity, is "The Arsenal of Freedom" taken?[/color:post_uid0]

[Wonko The Sane]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]"Message in a bottle" - In a nutshell

Voyager, season 4, episode 14:

Seven uses an alien subspace communication network to make contact with an experimental starfleet vessel. Since conventional subspace transmissions will not reach the vessel, the doctor is sent through the comm network to the ship (USS Prometheus). On arrival, the doctor finds out the ship has been taken over by Romulans, and the entire crew is dead. The doctor activates the experimental EMH mark 2 to help him. Romulans use cool 3-piece seperation (Multi-Vector-Assault-Mode) to destroy a pursuing federation vessel. In the meantime, Seven makes first contact with the Hirogen. Doc and EMH2 take control of the Prometheus from the Romulans. Romulan warbirds attempt to get the ship back. 3 additional starfleet vessels attempt to destroy the Prometheus. All ends well.

This was the first time Voyager made contact with the Alpha Quadrant, and arguably the best episode of the series.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I happen to know from personal experience that it is (I tried to request it and found it was already called).

Also, except by mere happenstance, there's no way I or anyone else know what's been called. Read the FAQs. Any Original Series fivers are requested through IJD. Any Next Generation fivers go through Marc. Anything else goes through Zeke. They're the people you want to talk to if you want to write fivers. Asking on the boards is futile.[/color:post_uid0]

[Wonko The Sane]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]:::Smacks himself for not reading FAQs:::

Well, that solves all my problems right there!
:suspicious:[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Of course, Wonko, all this shouldn't necessarily discourage you from writing fivers for your own amusement. :) Like the song says, um...er...summat about pleasing yourself and a truck... :S...never mind. I don't expect to see all the freelancers I write published in my lifetime (some of them not at all), but I still laugh at the in-jokes. And it beats a lot of other stuff that's out there, like doing drugs or picking a fight with your linebacker brother or going to Brat Pack concerts. :dead:[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][quote:post_uid0]Anything else goes through Zeke. [/quote:post_uid0]

DS9 stuff seems to be Kira's domain.[/color:post_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Technically, DS9 is my domain, but [i:post_uid0]everything[/i:post_uid0] is Kira's domain to some extent.[/color:post_uid0]

[NeoMatrix]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Hey, Kira or Zeke, do you still have me down to do Darkling? I am still working on it. Are there any Star Trek NG episodes that are still available?[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yep, I've still got you for that one. And like Derek said (he's been well trained, as you can see) ask Marc if you have a particular episode in mind. (Getting him to list all available eps wouldn't be a very nice thing to do. <g>)[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, it's now April the 1st and I've noticed that there is something distinctly odd about the front page....

Must just be a coincidence.[/color:post_uid0]

[Derek]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Front page? Something is decidedly odd about the whole site.[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]It must be Zuke's doing - I just can't see Zeke willingly adding all those multiple question and exclamation marks.[/color:post_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Oh, I'm going to kill her.[/color:post_uid0]

[Marc]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]>> On another note entirly, just out of curiousity, is "The Arsenal of Freedom" taken?

I happen to know from personal experience that it is (I tried to request it and found it was already called). <<

Yes, I can confirm that it's already reserved.

>> Are there any Star Trek NG episodes that are still available?

ask Marc if you have a particular episode in mind. <<

Yup, that's the best thing to do. The list of free episodes is in a constant state of flux, so asking me directly about the current availability of a particular show would be best. If you want to be efficient, you could even ask me about several potential shows at once (up to five at a time), so that I can check them all at the same time; if any are free, I'll then ask you to pick one as the show you'd like to work on. At the moment, there are about 60 or so unclaimed Next Gen episodes. Note that all the two-parters are reserved for Zeke, so you don't need to inquire about those.[/color:post_uid0]

*hysterical giggling*

Incidentally, just where are these alleged multiple marks situated? I haven't seen any (maybe I just didn't realize it, I dunno)... :S[/color:post_uid0]

[Derek]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Um, just about everywhere I've looked has it. Maybe you should reload the page to make sure you have the most current copy. Then check out the TOS or DS9 index pages. "Who Mourns for Morn???" "Who Mourns for Adonais???" "Is There in Truth No Beauty???"[/color:post_uid0]

And then there's the joke about the old sea captain who, on his deathbed fifty years later, admitted that it was his freighter and not an iceberg that had accidentally hit the Titanic -- something he had waited until now to reveal because he didn't want his ship's insurance premiums to go up.[/color:post_uid0]

It will or it won't, depending on which book you read. As or c1970, it was on display in New York in 22-something. However, later it turned out that an attempt was made to raise it but failed when a seaquake buried the ship in mud. After humanity departed and the planet rearranged itself, an advanced automated probe excavated it from the mountain it was now entombed in.[/color:post_uid0]

Hmm. Something strange going on here. I'm registered and logged in. My name is showing at the bottom of the main page, yet as soon as I move to another part of the forum, I'm a guest. Are my cookies off having fun by themselves and pretending to be me? Back to top [/quote:post_uid0]
After the first one, I realized that it was no longer saying "Welcome, mudshark" at the top of the page (the fact that I had to enter my s/n to make the first post should have been a tipoff, but oh well.) I find that the software is not logging me in automatically, as I specified, and if I log in each time, it puts my s/n in the "Active users" box, but still says "Welcome guest" at the top of the page.

I figured that this was just a glitch that would get worked out one way or another, and didn't worry too much about it.

The above post (reply to [b:post_uid0]Sa'ar[/b:post_uid0]) is a little odder. I've been making unregistered posts now and then with no trouble, but when I went to send this one, I got a message to the effect that my login status could not be determined, and that the administrator was not allowing guests to post. Okay, says I, after getting the same result several times, and log in, which action apparently posted the above automatically.[/color:post_uid0]

Actually, the full name is Earnest Peak. There's a phantom ess in there somewhere. It's a rather strained pun.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Hey everyone!! :)

Thanks for all the nice words for my first fiver! Sorry it took me so long, I was off the Internet for seven or eight days, and I found out that "Symbiosis" had been published only late last night. So, thanks again! I`m really glad you enjoyed it. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]It`s me again, ;)

First, I just want to say that if you click "Contact the author" after you`ve read Five Minute Symbiosis, you will find my email address, but it`s the wrong one. It goes "kal-el108@excite.com", but it actually should go "kal-el08@excite.com. It`s 08, and not 108. So, just in case someone tried, accidentally, for some reason unknown, to send me an email, I hope it didn`t go to the wrong address.

And second, my question goes to Kira or Zeke - is the DS9 episode "Defiant" taken? Because if it`s not, can I have it for fiving?

See you ;)

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I'll fix the mistake. As for episode requests, the boards aren't the place; please stick to email for that.[/color:post_uid0]
