JAY: O.K.... Ripley and Janeway are inside the compound, and they seem to have hit on a plan.
PAT: That's right, Jay. They are going to split-up and try to make it to the Com station to send a distress call.
JAY: Janeway is strapping on standard Federation assault gear and packing an ion rifle.
PAT: Ripley is duct taping a flamethrower to a standard Colonial pulse rifle. These two ladies look Pissed.
JAY: And there they go into the hall! They're splitting up... running in different directions!
PAT: Cpt. Janeway meets some resistance around the first corner... Zorak's mantis warriors are laying down a suppression fire of "Hangover" rays to keep her pinned...
JAY: Wait... Janeway jumps out like a cat! She's ditched the heavy rifle and is firing twin phaser blasters... one in each hand!
PAT: O.K... Lt. Ripley has hit a snag, too. She's running a straight offensive pattern here... getting in their faces and mowing 'em down with a barrage of pulse fire.
JAY: Janeway has passed her first obstacles and left a series of black soot on the floor that used to be mantis guys.
PAT: Jay, Ripley's on the move, too... screaming bloody murder as she chases after fleeing mantis warriors... flamethrower blasting away.
JAY: This match could go either way at this point.
PAT: Now let's get an up close view with our own SideLine Commentator Frank Williams...
Well, well, who shall win? I think Zorak will get them both! They're no
match for him! (At least that better be what happens, since I have my life
savings bet on this match!) Back to you, Pat.
PAT: Thanks Frank. What do you have now, Jay?
JAY: Zorak is personally organizing a counter offensive to the affront these two women make to his glorious person. He has demanded a heavy defense around the Com station...
PAT: Hold on, Jay... we have a connection now with our own Jack Gibson who has this special report...
This is Jack Gibson and I'm here live (for the time being) on the scene of this remote colony that's under siege by the evil warlord Zorak.
I don't have much time but I'll tell you that its a pitched battle in the compound, here. Both of these women warriors is more than up to the challenge, but is it enough? Only
sweat and determination will turn the tide...
...Uh oh, camera guy says
we've got to move, they're locking onto our signal.
I'm hearing rifle fire and screaming, I'll try and report later if I
survive.......OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!
PAT: And that's why he get's paid the big bucks. What do you have, now, Jay?
JAY: Janeway and Ripley are whittling down the Comm Station defense as they approach from either side. Wait... what's this...?
PAT: Janeway is stopping at the side of a wounded Mantis... it looks like she is going to give it a quick hypo to stabilize...
JAY: It was a trick! The mantis smacks her with a hand-held Hangover ray! Oh No!!
PAT: Janeway sinks to the ground... a victim of her own Federation ideals. Zorak's mantis guys know no honor!
JAY: Meanwhile, Pat, Ripley is blasting Mantis warriors all over the place! She's stepping through charred green piles of chitinous exoskeleton to the comm station.
PAT: Zorak is forced to retreat before Voyager and Colonial reinforcements arrive.
