Clam Trek ( episode two )

[Raven]

Besides the Book of Clam...

Captain Picard finds a mysterious mini pirates chest

and gives it to Data for further analysis indicating

he can't figure out how to open it.

he further sugests.....that it may have a clue to how

to unravel the clammer code. There has to be a clue.

[Raven]

Data announces that he has finally opened the mini chest

but all he found was this artifact..... a plug...

he is obsessing over it, turning it round and round

marveling about it's design and coloration.

then.... he starts listing plug descriptions:

darters ,swimmers, needles,poppers,dannies,

plugage captain... made on a carpentry tool

called a lathe for fishing captain ....called a lure.

Finally.....hearing enough, captain picard yells:

" Get to the point Data ! "

[Raven]

Data having some time off...adjourns to the Holodeck

and assumes the identity of Sherlock Holmes to ponder

the lack of clues as to where the Borg may have taken the

clammer and as to why he left no clues behind which

by any reasonable deduction is an absolute impossibilty.

[Raven]

Data remembers something:

Eliminate all other factors,
and the one which remains
must be the truth.

So Data un-builds the blue plug and discovers an
old scroll inside rapped around the thru wire.

un rolling it ...he finds this riddle.

[Raven]

Data informs acting Captain #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&:

....that the destination of where the BORG have taken

the Clammer is in the Omega System where a class M

planet is ....that has a healthy population of Bluefish.

The Borg have a fondness for bluefish because of their

collective mindset of moving in unison.

[Raven]

Commander Data and Captain Picard work hard to

decipher the Clammer's riddle trying to understand

it's true meaning.... While Captain #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& orders the

ship to emergency warp 10 speed to the Omega system.

Frustrated... and annoyed Captain Picard finally gets pissed off

and yells at Data that "there must be something were missing."

we need an edge.... Data... those dammed Borg!

then he says: "They invade our space, and we fall back.
They assimilate entire worlds, and
we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here!
This far, no further!
And I will make them pay for what they've done!"
