Honeymoon Abductors (Part Two)



Guest Poster : Jadzia Dax

Worfie and I are posing as a newly married couple on the honeymoon planet of Gemini. We're here with Commander Riker, Deanna Troi, Beverly Crusher and Captain Picard. Married couples have been disappearing from this planet and we're trying to find out where they are.

I thought at first, with a lovely planet like this, they might not want to go home!

---------------

Worfie and I are in our suite when a blinding white light overpowers us; the next thing we know, we are in a small cell.

"So they've got you, too?" a voice says.

I turn, and see that Riker and Deanna are in the next cell. The whole area is filled with cells that have couples in them.

"It's kind of them to put us in cells together." Riker comments drily, "It looks like our honeymoon suite has been downgraded."

"Captain Picard and Doctor Crusher are not here." observes Worfie, "It looks like they may have been out of their room when the transporter beam hit them."



"I wonder where we are?" says Troi in a typically pointless comment that none of us can answer.

"You are in a spaceship heading for a new world." answers a voice from across the room. It is the receptionist who checked us in. Wearing a black cape, he looks like a typical villain whose elevator hasn't reached the top floor.

"Who are you?" asks Riker, "You should know that you have abducted four Starfleet Officers."

"And I am a member of the Klingon Empire!" adds Worfie in a threatening manner.

"What you were is irrelevant." he answers in a despotic I'm-the-ruler-of-the-universe way, "I am Valder, and wish to create a new world in my name. I am abducting honeymoon couples to serve me on Valder, where it will go prosperous and fruitful with generations of people and food."

"We've got a right one here." whispers Riker to Deanna.

"I heard that!" answers Valder, "For that impertinance, "You shall work double shifts on the rice fields for a week."

He sweeps out of the room, leaving a giant troll with a spear to guard in case we do anything.

"At the moment, I think we'd better humour him." suggests Riker, "The Captain will be searching for us. Hopefully he and Starfleet will be able to pick up our trail and rescue us."

"I hope so." I reply, "Otherwise we will all be citizens of Valder for a very long time."

To be continued...

I do hope you'll be seeking some sort of rebate.

A honeymoon planet???? Now that sounds just like my kind of place for fun! Can't wait to read the continuation. Have a great week!

Jana said...

Well, now it's up to the Captain and Beverly to save the day! I have no doubt they're up to the challenge.

Nepharia said...

Valder...hmmmm, that sounds remarkably similar to another despot on another planet.....

Adventures In Waitressing said...

I kinda feel sorry for the fool when Worf gets ahold of him. Still quite curious on how they are going to get out of this one.

Hi, now we know what you got up to on holiday, you got married!

A certain underarm deodorant here in the US has a nasty habit of accelerating wear and tear on shirts. This could involve a mid-course correction.

Oh my! This is quite the pickle.

Tawnya Shields said...

Honeymoon planet sounds good but ....why the threats with working/slaving in the rice fields? I think I will pass on by this planet. :o)

dragonflyfilly said...

i dunno...i think i still prefer Niagra Falls! (the Canadian side, that is)

Professor Xavier said...

Now you see, look how much prettier Dax and Troi are. Hopefully they won't get assimilated.

Jaime said...

Send in Seven...Valder won't abduct any more Starfleet officers after that!

Nancy Wu said...

lol double shifts on the rice fields. Commander Riker gonna have fun.

Should they know in advance like that, may they still wanna that honeymoon thing.

Nina Munteanu said...

I guess that was a short honeymoon...back to work in the rice fields. Hey, Jean-Luc, check out my latest post and give it some thought... :)

Captain Berk said...

Dear Jadzia,

My name is Captain Berk. I am a great spaceship captain who is exceptional at mating. I used to eat Trills for breakfast until I realised they get really old, so it's worse than eating an egg.

Do you fancy a trip to Burger King.

Yours space-faringly

Captain Berk

The Mistress of the Dark said...

Maybe T'pol and Ensign Britney could save the day by posing as a couple.

tee hee I bet that would show him :)

susan said...

Sounds like that B and B I went to once!

Jean-Luc Picard said...

MOTD, they would have been an alternative married couple!

Captain Berk, I think Worf might take offence at your proposal.

SFGirl, I'll take a look.

Lansy, you're right about that.

Jaime, Seven would have put Valder off.

Ellee, I can't recall doing that!

Dari, yes, it would be a fun place.

Just having fun captain.

Linda said...

This is quite the dilemma but I'm sure that it will all turn out in the end. Well, either that or you're going to have to start a whole new blog and I sincerely hope that never happens!

I wonder what is going on over on the Honeymoon Planet while our four Starfleet Officers languish in their cells??

"I wonder where we are?" says Troi in a typically pointless comment that none of us can answer.


Ah, that Troi...she does have that reputation of handing out pointless comments doesn't she. Good thing she's easy on the eyes.

;)

Ciera said...

that is such a humorous thought...it really is...

next time you need to pretend to be married...I will gladly volunteer for that "chore"....

:D

Miss Cellania said...

I love the plot device of "lets pretend we're married"! Reminds me of the old joke:

(Unrelated male and female in a railway sleeper car.)

She: I'm very cold. Can I have your blanket?

He: I've got an idea. How about just for tonight, lets's pretend we're married.

She: OK!

He: Then get your own damn blanket.

Amanda said...

Captain, I've only just come across your blog and I love it. I've always been a ST:TNG fan with you as my favorite captain! Can't wait for the next installment.

Nancy Wu said...

Somehow on earth, marriage is like a married man will work double shifts to support the family while the woman working at home cleanning toilet etc but no longer working.
:P~

Jean-Luc Picard said...

Lansy, that's a good view of marriage.

Amanda, welcome.

Miss C, good story!

Ciera, I know you would!

SG, Deanna does do that.

Linda, starting a new Journal would be hard.

Nancy Wu said...

Thank you Captain. :) Boldly Go and Enjoy.
