So like, captain’s log stardate so and so, they found an anomaly, a distress beacon from a planet, and upon examination it was a derelict spaceship with only one dead crew member fused to the pilots seat, and some eggs.
Long story short, they go on an away mission, and Tasha Yar® winds up in the sickbay under Dr. Crushers care, with a xenomorph attached to her windpipe.
Long story short, the episode ends with Picard silently whispering “kill me…” while being engulfed by xenoplasma, and that’s the official end of Star Trek: TNG
What do you think?
In the alien franchise they don’t seem to have lasers beyond small surgical devices.
As another person mentioned biofilters and force fields would contain the xenomorph also sensors would find them and transporters would send them out into space… With phasers cutting right through their bodies unlike small arms fire the didn’t seem to slow the xenos down much. A team of well armed security locking down floor by floor but staying out of the Jeffries tubes would minimize casualties.
They would still take people out by surprise but
OK I’m willing to give you the transporters, but all I’m hearing is frantic screaming
“CAPTAIN! I CAN’T GET A LOCK ON THEM, THEY’RE… THEY’RE TOO FAST… THEY’RE… THEY’RE… OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, THEY’RE EVERYWHERE! CONTAINMENT BREACH CONTAINMENT BRE-!”
followed by radio noise.
Look, like I said in another thread, the thing is, sure, the force fields are a problem, but I inhabit a space-time continuum that includes the possibility of a Zack Snyder Aliens! franchise, so postulating that, they could arguably get through the forcefield because they’ve evolved self-regeneration, so they move through them slowly, getting burned, and regenerating on the spot- remember, they can survive through molten metal, so let’s SAY that they make their way through the force fields, then what.
What’s this with the biofilters, you say. I mean I get it, Star Fleet is vastly technologically superior to the Weyland-Yutani kind of universe Xenos exist in, so sure, I think it’d be a tough fight, but remember, it’s xenooooos. Xeeeeennnoooooos. There’s always one left no matter what you do.
So I figure, in the end, it’s like, Picard glued to a wall by that plasma or whatever, mouthing the self destruct code to the computer, in a final glorious sacrifice of himself, his crew, and the Enterprise, so that the infestation doesn’t spread to Earth and beyond.
BOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
The End.
