War Hog Part II: A Fool and His Money

Plot Synopsis


Dr. Kramer helps the crew of the Muffin defeat the Remulans but he's got a price.

Plot Summary


With the attack on the Muffin by the remulans in full swing Captain Smith let the insane Dr. Kramer take over maneuvering the ship, and Kramer started barking out orders to initiate his pre-programmed evasion sequences. The remulans still managed to badly damage the Muffin, but before destroying them the Secret Weapon chose to hail them.
While the Secret Weapon gloated the Captain made jokes about Yahtzee and in general had a snide attitude to their defeat. When the Secret Weapon droped his ship's shields Captain Smith ordered Lt. Cunningham to open fire with the weapons the Secret Weapon thought were disabled. To add further insult to injury Marty then arrived in the saucer section of the ship and opened fire as well, having been signaled earlier by the Captain over the open comm line.
With the plan having fallen apart the Secret Weapon begins to panic, but Doctor Haka saw his opportunity for revenge and for saving his people and incapacitated the Secret Weapon with a Shen'ha?. He then hailed the Muffin to surrender.
With the crises over Kramer was happy he didn't have to initiate "Kramer 91" which he stated out loud, before the Captain indicated he would be going back to his cell. However, seconds later, the Captain and the rest of the bridge crew passed out. Kramer admitted that "Kramer 91" caused the release of Nucktin Gas just as Belinda succumbed to the effects of the gas, spouting obscenities. One member of the crew, however, was not affected.
Due to her nythrian physiology, Lt. Pascal was not affected by the gas and proceeded to beat the snot out of Dr. Kramer. With Dr. Kramer and the Secret Weapon under control Captain Smith opts to take them to the Happy Valley Nuthouse where they can be permanently locked up.
