Traash-Transcript

 Kidd's Navigator: Captain, we caught something in the hyper-dredge.

 Captain Kidd: Aha. I love to go fishing. See what we've caught. Reel it in!

 Squeegie: Booty!

 Kidd's Navigator: Alien spacecraft... Ah, just a small one.

 Captain Kidd: Check the ship directory, let's see what we've got.

 Squeegie: Shake your Booty-

 Kidd's Navigator: Uh-oh

 Captain Kidd: What?

 Kidd's Navigator: A Traash fighter!

 Captain Kidd: The Traash!

 Squeegie: Oh no!

 Captain Kidd: Get rid of it; send it back into hyperspace!

 Kidd's Navigator: Too late, captain. It's firing at us!

 Squeegie: Uh-oh

 Captain Kidd: Emergency procedure. Get us out of here while there still only one ship.

 Squeegie: Hurry! Hurry!

 Captain Kidd: sounding like poe-ugh: Invasion fleet! Initiate hypershunt!

 Kidd's Navigator Where to, Captain?

 Captain Kidd: Anywhere, as long as it's not here. Drop a cluster of anti-matter bombs.
 We'll leave the Traash a present. Initiate hypershunt now. --- Aaagh, where are we going?

 Kidd's Navigator: Uh, I don't know...driftspace coordinates are damaged. I think we're heading into human space."

 Captain Kidd: Human space? Oh good. Quick, raise the League colors. Aaagh, what's that?

 Kidd's Navigator: It's a ship, sir.

 Captain Kidd: A ship? Left! Right! Aaagh!

 Squeegie: help! ooh!

 Captain Kidd: Aagh

  some Ranger: male human voice Pressure normal, return to stations.

 Commander Nat Blight: What the..?? @#!%#@! Those fools rammed my ship!

 some Ranger: It's a ship called the Iron Falcon, Sir. They have a fire emergency and seek assistance.

 Commander Nat Blight: The Iron Falcon! That's captain Kidd and his band outlaws. What are they doing in human space?

 Captain Kidd: Hmm hmm.

 Commander Nat Blight: You crazed bird headed bandit! What do you think you're doing?

 Captain Kidd: Crazed? Bird headed?

 Commander Nat Blight: You're under arrest.

 Captain Kidd: For what?

 Commander Nat Blight: For whatever I can dig out of the computer files.

 Captain Kidd: But human! The Traash are coming! The Traash are invaiding this sector of space!

 Commander Nat Blight: Traash? What's he talking about?

 some Ranger: I've no idea.

 Commander Nat Blight: Get that mutated chicken up here! Ok, Kidd, start squawking.

 Captain Kidd: Very little is known about the Traash expept that they tolerate no other life-forms in their sector of space.

 Commander Nat Blight: Well, what are they doing out here?

 Captain Kidd: Ah --- One got caught in my hyper dredge. Then their fleet came.

 Commander Nat Blight: How did you escape?

 Captain Kidd: We fooled em, we dropped antimatter bombs to cover our escape.

 Commander Nat Blight: That's a good one.

 Captain Kidd: The queen of the crown is so afraid of the Traash, that her fleets never engage them.

 Commander Nat Blight: What does this Traash want?

 Captain Kidd: Impossible to say. They are an insect species. They swarm and they exterminate all other forms of life.

 Commander Nat Blight: What!?

 Captain Kidd: In the Traash sectors of space, there exists no life but the Traash themselves.

 Commander Nat Blight: And you brought them here!

 Captain Kidd: Ohhh!

 Commander Nat Blight: Get me BETA mountain on the freeway!

 Captain Kidd: Ohh, they're here!

 some Ranger: Commander Blade, an unidentified alien fleet has appeared in the system.

 Commander Nat Blight: You're in big trouble bird. Go to condition red. Battle stations!

 some Ranger: Sir, we estimate one thousand ships.

 Commander Nat Blight: FIRE!

 Shane Gooseman: This is Galaxy Ranger Gooseman.

 Commander Nat Blight: All right!
 Shane Gooseman: Ranger interceptor is closing in. --- All fighters, hold your position. Elma, lock in target.

 Elma: Target locked.

 Commander Joseph Walsh: Ranger 1, you're to rendezvous with the Commanche. Interceptor squadron has the dreadnaught covered.

 Niko: The Traash fleet is huge.

  Walter 'Doc' Hartford: We're completely outnumbered. That's where we come in, right?

  Commander Joseph Walsh: It's a stalemate. It's crazy form them, just to attack us
 like this without provocation. We have to find a way to communicate before we annihilate each other.

 Niko: We have the mindnet device. We'll try to achieve a mindlink with the Traash high command.

  Walter 'Doc' Hartford: I get it. We're gonna force them to talk to us, even if they don't want to.

  Commander Joseph Walsh: The Andorians think the Traash have never communicated with another lifeform.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: Oh great! So we're gonna be the first. We either make history, or ...

 Niko: ... we'll never come back.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: I should be getting used to this by now. When you got a mission that's
   totally impossible just send for the Galaxy Rangers!

 Niko: Initiating hyperjump. Now.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: The Traash!

 Zach: We'll have to outrun them.

 Niko: Traash fighters closing in.

 Zach: Take evasive action.

 Shane Gooseman: This is the ranger interceptor group. We got you covered. Hold tight guys.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: Congrats my Gooseman, that was good shooting!

 Shane Gooseman: All in a day's work, Doc.

 Niko: The frigate Commanche up ahead.

 Zach: They're readying a space deck for us. Give him our BETA security code, Doc.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: Right, captain.

 Zach: We got here as fast as we could. It's been pretty hot out here by all
  reports.

 Commander Nat Blight: You can say that again.

 Niko: Commander Walsh has briefed us on our mission. We're to make contact
  with the Traash high command.

 Commander Nat Blight: I just got the orders concerning the mission over the deep space
  hyperlink.

 Zach: BETA believes that if we can just break through the frontlines and
  make contact with the Traash, we can stop the fighting.

 Commander Nat Blight: Well, we've targeted the Traash high command in a System near Spica.
  Take a look. Their flag ship is nine miles wide. We're
  going in on a diversionary attack. While the Traash are busy dealing
  with that, we'll drop you guys off on the top of the flagship.

 Captain Kidd: Let go of me, swinedogs! Galaxy Rangers! I heard you were here.

 Zach: Well, Captain Kidd.

 Commander Nat Blight: Arrest that bird.

 Captain Kidd: No wait. Here. Traash Warriors.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: He! Get me the phone. I need to call the exterminator.

 Niko: That's exactly the problem, Doc. We're such alien species to each other
  that the first thing we think of is extermination. That's why we have
  to talk to them.


 Captain Kidd: Yeah, well I tried that once and I...

 Zach: You communicated with the Traash!

 Captain Kidd: Well, only the warriors. Why are you looking at me like that?

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: You escaped from the Traash?

 Niko: I thought no one even talked with them.

 Captain Kidd: I did! But a long time ago.

 Zach: Kidd, you're coming with us.

 Captain Kidd: Oh. Me and my big beak. I was lucky to escape, I squawked my way out.
  You can't do this to me.

 Squeegie: Never, never, never!

 Commander Nat Blight: Oh yeah? We'll see about that.

 Niko: But Captain Kidd, you're the only one who has ever seen a Traash warrior.

 Commander Nat Blight: I'll pound your ship and arrest your crew.

 Captain Kidd: Oh. I, ... The Traash warriors are demons in battle.

 Niko: Now that's something I'm curious about. How did you ever manage to
   escape?

 Captain Kidd: I listened to the command Traash. They used a pattern of whistles to
  control the warriors workers, like this. (whistles) Like a lovesick teenager.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: ... or a saxophone having a toothpull.

 Captain Kidd: So I imitated the command whisles. I escaped while the command Traash
  were still fighting their own warriors.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: Well, you'll just have to whistle while we work.

 Zach: Captain Kidd, let's go. We've got a date with the Traash high command.

 Captain Kidd: Ohhhh.

 Commander Nat Blight: The battle pods will get you onto the outer hull of the flagship.
   From there, you're on your own.

 Zach: Thanks Ned, we're ready.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: Just get us to the drop point, Commander, we'll do the rest. Right Kidd?

 Captain Kidd: Hey, where is Squeegie?

 Squeegie: Hmm, hee he.

 some Ranger: Coordinates fixed. Approaching Spica system.

 Commander Nat Blight: Here we go. There it is. All batteries stand by.
  Decellerate. We've got one chance for the drop.

 some Ranger: Three, two, one...

 Commander Nat Blight: NOW!

  Zach: Let's go. We don't wanna hang around out here.

 Captain Kidd: If the Traash are going to hyperspace now ...

 Niko: ...we become disassociated subatomic particles.

 Shane Gooseman: Just as the Andorians predicted. This sector is outside the life support
  zone. No atmosphere, so no alarms when we cut the hull.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: Kidd, don't you ever take exercise?

 Captain Kidd: Eh --- my wife has a million things that need to be done at home.

 Zach: Follow me. This leads to the central section. There's air inside, should
  be a little musty, but breathable.

 Captain Kidd: I'll be glad to get this helmet off.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: Step back, folks. Pathfinder, show time.

 Pathfinder: Let me at it!

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: Huh. Traash don't waste money on interior decor, do they?

 Niko: I doubt they even think of it. Oh oh. Lifeforms are ahead.

 Shane Gooseman: Take cover.

 Captain Kidd: Traash worriers.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: And you're gonna make them blow over with a whistle?

 Captain Kidd: Oh --- they're the workers!

 Shane Gooseman: Why don't they attack?

 Captain Kidd: They're not programmed to. They didn't even sense us.
   As far as they're concerned, we aren't there! The high command.
   Stand back, watch me now.
   I will blow the whistle and paralyze them. (whistles)

   
 Niko: I suggest, Captain Kidd, that you try your command whistle again.
  Perhaps in a lower key? There are more warriors coming from the other
  direction!

 Captain Kidd: Aw! This is a different fleet!

 Zach: Kidd, hurry it up or we're bug food.

 Niko: Perhaps you should try a higher key. --- Not that either.

 Captain Kidd: It's hard to concentrate.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: Boy these boys are in for a surprise when they eat Zachery. Running low
  on ammo.

 Niko: Hey, Captain Kidd, do that again.

 Captain Kidd: Oh, well.

 Niko: No, higher.

 Zach: Ok, why they're sleeping, let's get to those controls.
  Keep whisteling! Doc, hit those computers. See what you can do to close
  those doors.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: Pathfinder, Tripwire, interaction.

 Pathfinder: You got it, Doc.

 Shane Gooseman: Phew, that's a relief.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: Gooseman, you have no idea just how much of a relief. If you'd become
  one of them permanently, I ...

 Shane Gooseman: Don't bug me Doc.

 Niko: According to Waldo, this has a 50\% chance of working. But it's
  the only hope we've got of finding out how they think.

 Zach: Niko, this is one delicate job I'm glad to leave in your hands.

 Shane Gooseman: Hey guys, hurry it up. I hear something coming.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: What are they saying?

 Zach: I don't know, but here comes trouble.

 Shane Gooseman: Use your thunderbold, Zach! Kidd, start puckering.

 Captain Kidd: How is Niko?

 Zach: No change.

 Captain Kidd: Niko, are you there?

 Niko: Yes.

 Zach: What is it?

 Niko: The fear. The terrible fear. Of all other life. All life is dangerous!

 Captain Kidd: Is she communicating with them?

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: By the sound of it, yes.

 Niko: Oh. The fear. The two leg things, they are terrible, terrible. They
  will attack. Always the two leg things attack.

 Zach: Sounds as if the Andorians were right: the Traash live in fear of
  other lifeforms.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: We're the two leg things, right? Let's see: one, two.

 Zach: They're as afraid of us as we are of them.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: Captain, we found the Traash databank. Their computers are pretty old
  fashinoed. Programming is virtually antique bubblehead.

 Zach: Can you isolate this chamber? Niko could use a little more time.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: I think so. You tweakers, hit the security codes!

 
 Niko: We mean you no harm. We're a peacefull race. There are many systems in
  the galaxy, you don't need ours.

 the Traash: You offer peace?

 Niko: We do not have to fight.

 the Traash: But the two leg things attack.

 Niko: We will destroy you, if we have to. We're strong. You will only
  decimate your species. Let us have peace instead.

 the Traash: Peace. Hmm. The war has cost us many ships. Many warriors are missing.

 Niko: Open your mind to mine. You will know that we bring you the truth.

 the Traash: We will do this. Begin. --- Never have we known peace.

 Niko: Than stop the fighting.

 the Traash: This peace is something we have dreamed of. But always the other
  things attacked us.

 Niko: They were frightened of you. If you accept peace, than other species will leave you alone.

 the Traash: Ouuhh, ouuhh. Ouuhh, ouuuhh, ouuhh. It will be done.

 all: Ouuhh, ouuhh, ouuuhh.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: Now I've seen everything.

 Niko: Well, Captain Kidd, not a bad day's work.

 Captain Kidd: I think I lost weight.

 Squeegie: You're still tubby.

 Commander Nat Blight: Zach, what about recruiting Kidd for the Galaxy Rangers?

 Zach: What do you say Kidd?

 Captain Kidd: Well, I can blow the whistle on the whole operation.

 Walter 'Doc' Hartford: No! Please! Anything but that.
