Resistance would be bad.

Wr are the Tennis Borg.

You will be assimilated.

Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own.

You will, from this day forth, service us.

You have got to be kidding me

What's next, the Bjorn Borg collective?

*beams a moderate dosage of Jellico neuropeptide viral enhancer into their air ducts*

Now, drunk tennis balls? This should be interesting.

Resistance is not advisa...sa....sa.....vivible.

You will be assistinated.....

Error, speech patterns have gone in...in....some really long word.

Well crap, Khan, as if I didn't have enough to do just keeping this station from drifting off in a myriad of different directions, I now have to either stop or repair the tennis-borg ... ;P

...as if I didn't have enough to do just keeping this station from drifting off in a myriad of different directions...

Er, have you run out of duct tape? Do the replicators not have the record for this product? How do you think my ship stays together? *points out a window at the Drunken Bastard, which is managing to list convincingly in microgravity*

Admittedly, I also use chewing gum and baling wire...but only when my ship's replicators are offline.

[karaksindru]

Duct tape you say? I may have to investigate that further. I usually try for a more long term solution though... And remind me not to take any joy rides in the Drunken Bastard....

[tennis_borg]

Duct tape is irrelevant.

You will be assimilated!

"Gah!" Rob McCoy quickly takes off his boots, holding them with a pair tongs as he runs to his quarters / lab. "Must ... find a way to ... reclaim my boots!"

*assimilates the potted plants along the corridor*

Potted plants, or pot plants?

[mib_khan]

Wow. Even the plants are stoned on this station. Well, I guess if they're potted, they're drunk. *watches the tennis ball drink a plant*

Ahhhhh....

Piety and Art of Starship Maintenance.

Perhaps I wasn't diligent enough in my supplication to the Creators. I thought that I had healed your ship better than that. Let me look at it next time you bring it this way.

By the way, both Baling Wire AND Duct Tape would send some lesser Hurrrg into apoplectic fits about religious syncretism. Personally, this about the only place I agree with the Wirists, whom I generally regard as insane. They say that, "If you can't weld the joint, use glue."

Of course, they say same the same thing when presented with with questions about comparative fuel economy. "Drink more liquids." Feh.

Re: Piety and Art of Starship Maintenance.

[mib_khan]

Now, Ifix, it's really not that bad. Remember that the Drunken Bastard looks worse than it is, thanks to your efforts. The duct tape is only there for a backup...I'm no longer worried that the separate modules of my ship will separate during dangerous maneuvers...such as docking. *grin*
