From: ryanwolf@erols.com (MKSheppard) IST3K LITE ------------------------------------------------------ Daala - Testing...testing... Vader - I sense a great disturbance in the Force. Our normal writer is not here now...instead we have some unknown hack writer. Sheppard - Hey! I am *not* a hack writer! Thrawn - No, he's just another Imperial warlord with delusions of Grandeur, trying to outdo me.... Daala - Join the club, Sheppard. Palpatine - Can we *please* get with the program, or do I have to zap you all? Everybody - No. Palpatine - Good.

Thrawn - Since he didn't choose an Imperial Ship, it shows that he's most interested in living. And I must quite vehemently disagree with your statement that all Imperial Commanders are stupid.

Only fools would let go an >opportunity like that. Well, you're right the Empire is foolish. Palpatine - Vader, I believe this is your field of expertise. Vader - Ah yes. The disposal of near-omnipotent beings skilled in the use of the Force. It's quite easy, actually. Just replace the batteries in their lightsabers with "Supervolt" batteries. I have learned since my experience with the so-called "Energizer Bunny". >> Oh, and I hope you aren't going to regard Picard's 'human' statement to mean >> every human in existence.

Anakin: Even Forrest Gump knows more about tactics than the Federation, or the Maquis, or the Cardassians, Or the Romulans...I could go on and on. Daala - Who *is* that kid? Sheppard - Ah, since Rebel Science Fiction Theater 3000 was beating us in the ratings, I decided to get a kid to beat them at their own game. Fellow Imperials, meet Anakin Solo, future Emperor. Anakin - Hi Grandpa Vader! You must be the Uncle Palpatine I've heard so much about! Palpatine - You know, I've always wanted kids of my own, but being an Emperor took up so much of my time, I could never have them. Say, do you want to play "Horrible Ways To Kill Your Weapons Designers Over And Over?" Anakin - Do I get to use the molten pit of copper? Palpatine - Yes. Anakin - Yay! Thrawn - That's it for IST 3000 for now. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to thinking up ways to kill all the Noghri off. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Most Russians don't care whether they are ruled by fascists or communists or even Martians as long as they can buy six kinds of sausage in the store and lots of cheap vodka." --Aleksander Lebed, who I hope wins in 2000
