Title: "The Final Encore"Fade in:
EXT. DEEP SPACE - USS ENTERPRISE
The Enterprise glides through the darkness of space.
INT. ENTERPRISE - CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM
Captain Picard sits at his desk, sipping tea. Riker stands at attention.
PICARD: "Number One, I've received a message from Starfleet Command. We have a special mission."
RIKER: "What is it, sir?"
PICARD: "Dolly Parton has requested our assistance. She's stranded on a planet in the Neutral Zone."
RIKER: "Dolly Parton?"
PICARD: "Yes, the famous singer and songwriter. It seems her ship was attacked by Romulans, and she's in need of rescue."
RIKER: "Understood, sir. I'll assemble an away team."
CUT TO:
EXT. PLANET SURFACE - NEUTRAL ZONE
Picard, Riker, Worf, and Data beam down to the planet's surface. They are immediately confronted by a group of armed Romulans.
ROMULAN COMMANDER: "What are you doing here, Starfleet?"
PICARD: "We're here to rescue a civilian. Dolly Parton."
The Romulan commander hesitates.
ROMULAN COMMANDER: "Very well. You may proceed. But be warned, any attempt to cross into Romulan territory will result in severe consequences."
The away team continues on, searching for Dolly.
CUT TO:
INT. CAVE - NEUTRAL ZONE
Dolly is hiding in a cave, surrounded by her belongings. She hears footsteps and draws a hidden phaser.
DOLLY: "Who's there?"
Picard steps forward.
PICARD: "Dolly Parton, I presume?"
DOLLY: "That's me. Who are you?"
PICARD: "Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise. We're here to rescue you."
DOLLY: "Well, I'll be. I never thought I'd see the day."
The away team escorts Dolly back to the Enterprise.
CUT TO:
INT. ENTERPRISE - TRANSPORTER ROOM
Dolly steps off the transporter pad, surrounded by the crew.
DOLLY: "Thank y'all so much for rescuing me. I don't know what I would've done without you."
PICARD: "It was our pleasure, Ms. Parton."
DOLLY: "Call me Dolly."
PICARD: "Of course. Would you care to join us for dinner in the captain's quarters?"
DOLLY: "I'd be delighted."
CUT TO:
INT. ENTERPRISE - CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS
Picard, Riker, Worf, Data, and Dolly sit around a table, enjoying a meal.
DOLLY: "This is delicious. I never knew space food could taste so good."
PICARD: "Our chef is quite talented."
DOLLY: "Say, Captain, I was wondering if you had a piano on board."
PICARD: "I'm afraid we don't, but we do have a holodeck. Perhaps we could create a program for you?"
DOLLY: "That sounds mighty fine to me."
CUT TO:
INT. HOLODECK - WESTERN SALOON
The crew watches as Dolly performs on the piano.
DOLLY (singing): "Working nine to five, what a way to make a living..."
Suddenly, the program malfunctions, and the saloon transforms into a dark, alien landscape.
PICARD: Computer, pause program.
The holodeck simulation froze, leaving everyone in the middle of the wild west saloon.
DOLLY PARTON: Well, I'll be. This is some fancy technology.
RIKER: (smiling) Miss Parton, we are honored to have you aboard the Enterprise.
DOLLY PARTON: (smiling back) Thank you kindly. Now, what's going on here?
PICARD: (clears his throat) We were just running a simulation, Miss Parton. Nothing serious.
DOLLY PARTON: (chuckles) Oh, I see. Well, don't let me interrupt.
WORF: Captain, we have received a distress signal from a nearby planet. It seems they are under attack by an unknown alien race.
PICARD: (nodding) Understood. Set course for the planet and engage at maximum warp.
The crew quickly made their way to their respective posts, preparing for the imminent battle.
DOLLY PARTON: (to Geordi) Honey, you take care of my favorite captain, won't you?
GEORDI: (smiling) Of course, Miss Parton. He's in good hands.
As the Enterprise approached the planet, they saw a fierce battle taking place. Ships were exploding left and right, and the planet's surface was being bombarded by plasma beams.
PICARD: (to Riker) Red Alert. All hands to battle stations.
The crew quickly sprang into action, firing phasers and torpedoes at the enemy ships. The battle was intense, and the Enterprise was taking heavy damage.
DOLLY PARTON: (to herself) Lord, help us.
Suddenly, a bright light filled the bridge, and the ship was shaken violently.
PICARD: (to Worf) Report!
WORF: Captain, we have been hit by some sort of energy weapon. Our shields are down.
PICARD: (thinking quickly) Divert all power to the engines. Get us out of here.
The Enterprise quickly flew away from the planet, dodging enemy fire. Once they were at a safe distance, the crew assessed the damage.
PICARD: (to Geordi) Report.
GEORDI: Captain, we have lost main power to the engines. We are adrift in space.
PICARD: (nodding) Understood. Mr. La Forge, I want you to work on getting us back online. The rest of you, repair any damage you can.
DOLLY PARTON: (to Picard) Captain, is there anything I can do to help?
PICARD: (smiling) Miss Parton, I appreciate the offer, but this is a job for Starfleet personnel.
DOLLY PARTON: (nodding) Of course, Captain. Just let me know if there's anything I can do.
As the crew worked on repairing the ship, they discovered that the alien weapon had caused a critical failure in the ship's systems. They were unable to repair it without a special piece of technology that was only available on the planet they had just left.
PICARD: (to the crew) We have no choice. We have to go back to the planet.
DOLLY PARTON: (concerned) But Captain, won't we be walking into a trap?
PICARD: (nodding) That's a possibility, Miss Parton. But we have no other option.
The Enterprise returned to the planet, cautiously approaching the surface. They quickly realized that the planet's inhabitants were not attacking them, but rather defending themselves against the alien invaders.
PICARD: (to the crew) We have to help them.
The crew quickly formulated a plan, working alongside the mysterious being known as the Traveler, who had once before helped the Enterprise-D in a time of need.
TRAVELER: I can sense the energy fluctuations coming from the planet's surface. We'll need to act fast if we're going to save those people.
PICARD: Agreed. Mr. Data, can you and Geordi devise a way to neutralize the radiation?
DATA: Affirmative, Captain. I believe we can modify the ship's deflector array to emit a pulse that will counteract the radiation.
PICARD: Make it so. And Mr. Worf, prepare a team to transport down and retrieve the survivors.
WORF: Yes, Captain.
As the team prepared for the dangerous mission, Dolly Parton stepped forward, offering her assistance.
DOLLY: Captain, I may not be a Starfleet officer, but I'm not afraid to lend a helping hand.
PICARD: (smiling) We could use all the help we can get. Welcome aboard, Ms. Parton.
DOLLY: (smiling back) Just call me Dolly.
The team beamed down to the planet's surface, facing the deadly radiation that threatened their very lives. But with Data and Geordi's modifications, they were able to neutralize the radiation and retrieve the survivors.
Back on the ship, the crew celebrated their successful mission and thanked Dolly for her assistance.
PICARD: I must say, Ms. Parton, your bravery and resourcefulness were an inspiration to us all.
DOLLY: (grinning) Oh, it was nothin'. Just doin' my part to help out.
As the crew bid farewell to their new friend, the Traveler approached Picard.
TRAVELER: Captain, I must speak with you in private.
PICARD: Of course. Number One, you have the bridge.
The two walked to a secluded area of the ship, where the Traveler revealed a startling revelation.
TRAVELER: Captain, the energy fluctuations we detected were not natural. They were caused by a being of immense power, one that I fear may be a threat to the entire galaxy.
PICARD: (concerned) What kind of being?
TRAVELER: A being known as Q.
