/ Q: How many members of the U.S.S. Enterprise does \
| it take to change a                               |
|                                                   |
| light bulb? A: Seven. Scotty has to report to     |
| Captain Kirk that the light bulb in               |
|                                                   |
| the Engineering Section is getting dim, at which  |
| point Kirk will send                              |
|                                                   |
| Bones to pronounce the bulb dead (although he'll  |
| immediately claim                                 |
|                                                   |
| that he's a doctor, not an electrician). Scotty,  |
| after checking                                    |
|                                                   |
| around, realizes that they have no more new light |
| bulbs, and complains                              |
|                                                   |
| that he "canna" see in the dark. Kirk will make   |
| an emergency stop at                              |
|                                                   |
| the next uncharted planet, Alpha Regula IV, to    |
| procure a light bulb                              |
|                                                   |
| from the natives, who, are friendly, but seem to  |
| be hiding something.                              |
|                                                   |
| Kirk, Spock, Bones, Yeoman Rand and two red shirt |
| security officers                                 |
|                                                   |
| beam down to the planet, where the two security   |
| officers are promply                              |
|                                                   |
| killed by the natives, and the rest of the        |
| landing party is captured.                        |
|                                                   |
| As something begins to develop between the        |
| Captain and Yeoman Rand,                          |
|                                                   |
| Scotty, back in orbit, is attacked by a Klingon   |
| destroyer and must                                |
|                                                   |
| warp out of orbit. Although badly outgunned, he   |
| cripples the Klingon                              |
|                                                   |
| and races back to the planet in order to rescue   |
| Kirk et. al. who have                             |
|                                                   |
| just saved the natives' from an awful fate and,   |
| as a reward, been                                 |
|                                                   |
| given all light bulbs they can carry. The new     |
| bulb is then inserted                             |
|                                                   |
