Python Trek: Runabout Repairman
by Rob Morris
(We see Deep Space Nine. Every corridor and deck is swamped with Captains. The main five or six plus all the background Captains, as well)

Narrator: This is Deep Space Nine, a typical rural community out on the edge of the Final Frontier.

(We see Kirk)

N: This is James T. Captain, a typical resident of this sprawling megalopolis.

K: Hi guys!

(Waving hello are Sisko, Picard, and Janeway)

N: These are his close friends and relations, Jean-Luc Captain, Benjamin Captain, and Kathryn Captain.

S: Nice fellow, that James T. Captain.

P: Yes, but he's so meek and mild-mannered, it scares me!

J: I don't know. Sometimes I think he's hiding something—something big!

S + P: HIM!!?

P: Ben Captain, let's laugh dismissively at Kathryn Captain's suggestion.

S: Capital Idea, Jean-Luc Captain!

P+S: Snicker, snicker, snicker!

J: Hmmph!!

Narrator: But indeed, James T. Captain does have an amazing secret identity, as we shall soon see.

Matt Decker: Will, start the Runabout!

Will Decker: Okay, Dad!

(Turns the power, lights go out)

M+W: OH, NO!!! Our runabout won't runabout!

(On the screen appears the female shapeshifter, cackling)

Shape: HA! Without your runabouts, you are all helpless! Soon we villainous types will conquer the Galaxy!

J, S, and P: Whatever Shall We Do?

K: Hey, look out at the wormhole!

(For some reason, they all do. Kirk changes into an engineering jumpsuit and dons a hat and moustache)

RR: Scuse me, guvs!

All: Runabout Repairman!? But How?

Garth of Izar: Was that a transwarp vessel?

Calhoun: NO! It was Runabout Repairman. Godspeed, Sir!

(Kirk makes for the Deckers' Runabout, and has the thing working very quickly)

Will D: Dad!!!

Matt D: Yes, son. We owe our lives to this mighty hero!

Shape: Curses! Foiled again by my archenemy!

Matt: Sir, however shall we repay you?

RR: No need, Cap'n! Its all in a day's work for---Runabout Repairman.

(Kirk changes back, rejoins the others)

K: Hey, Captains. Did I miss anything?

S: Catch James T. Captain, Jean-Luc Captain!

P: Yes, Benjamin Captain. He was probably hiding til this whole thing blew over!

J: Come to think of it, James T. Captain is never around when our hero shows up. James T. Captain?

K: Yes, Kathryn Captain?

J: Could you fix my door?

K: What? Kathryn Captain, what do you think I am---Runabout Repairman?

(Kirk winks at audience)

(As we leave, we see Morn exit Quark's; Inside, all the waiters and customers and other staff have slaughtered each other in a frenzy; We hear Morn finally speak)

Morn: Good thing I didn't tell Quark about the dirty knife!
