/ Q: How many members of the U.S.S. \
| Enterprise does it take to change a |
| |
| light bulb? A: Seven. Scotty has to |
| report to Captain Kirk that the light |
| bulb in |
| |
| the Engineering Section is getting dim, |
| at which point Kirk will send |
| |
| Bones to pronounce the bulb dead |
| (although he'll immediately claim |
| |
| that he's a doctor, not an |
| electrician). Scotty, after checking |
| |
| around, realizes that they have no more |
| new light bulbs, and complains |
| |
| that he "canna" see in the dark. Kirk |
| will make an emergency stop at |
| |
| the next uncharted planet, Alpha Regula |
| IV, to procure a light bulb |
| |
| from the natives, who, are friendly, |
| but seem to be hiding something. |
| |
| Kirk, Spock, Bones, Yeoman Rand and two |
| red shirt security officers |
| |
| beam down to the planet, where the two |
| security officers are promply |
| |
| killed by the natives, and the rest of |
| the landing party is captured. |
| |
| As something begins to develop between |
| the Captain and Yeoman Rand, |
| |
| Scotty, back in orbit, is attacked by a |
| Klingon destroyer and must |
| |
| warp out of orbit. Although badly |
| outgunned, he cripples the Klingon |
| |
| and races back to the planet in order |
| to rescue Kirk et. al. who have |
| |
| just saved the natives' from an awful |
| fate and, as a reward, been |
| |
| given all light bulbs they can carry. |
| The new bulb is then inserted |
| |
| and the Enterprise continues on its |
\ five year mission. /
