Star Trek Strange New Universe.
"Evolve Or Die"
Enterprise has exited the quantum leap into planet Earth's orbit.
Spock: "Captain Pike, we have arrived in the year 2066."
Number 1: "I don't read spaceships or space technology.
There is only one satellite in the orbit of planet Earth."
Uhura: "The satellite is sending us a video signal."
Captain Pike: "Put it on the screen."
An elderly man with a white beard appeared on the screen.
Albert: "Welcome to the orbit of planet Earth, dear visitors from outer space.
My name is Albert
This is a recorded video message and you must listen to what we have to say before continuing.
It all started at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
Humanity has discovered recorded video communication.
As it often happens, everything was harmless in the beginning.
People would record themselves and use those recordings to communicate with other people.
In our schools, the teachers would record lectures for the whole school year, and the children would watch the videos and learn through them.
The children would not even see the teacher live, in person.
Religious leaders recorded spiritual lectures, so that people no longer went to shrines, but watched the holy mass from home.
Politicians would prepare their video presentations in advance and their voters would never see them live.
Some time passed and with artificial intelligence, people began to use recorded video communication more and more.
It was mostly noticed in romantic relationships.
People would tell everything about themselves in advance and that video would be watched by potential partners, who would then respond with their video, to which they would then respond with their video etc.
Video communication between people became a norm.
People began to shut themselves up more and more in their homes and stopped physically interacting with each other.
Physical contact has become something repulsive and unacceptable.
A movement was created.
The movement was called 'Video to eternity'.
Their philosophy was that every person should say everything he or she has to say and record it on video.
In this way, they remain in existence forever.
The movement went one step further.
People started committing mass suicide after recording everything they have to say on video.
Some of us could not accept this state of society and decided to retreat to the mountains."
A man (Albert) with a bag on his back appears on the screen.
The man raised both hands in the air, pointed his middle finger to the four corners of the world, and went to the mountains.
Ortega: "I completely agree with him."
Everyone in the Enterprise agreed with Ortega except Spock.
Spock was silent.
Captain Pike: "Spock, what do you think about this?"
Spock: "I would stay and do my best to change things for the better."
Captain Pike: "Spock, I asked about this your human side, not your Vulcan side."
Spock: "Then I agree with you."
The crew laughed sweetly and continued to look at the video on screen, from Albert.
Albert: "The situation in society was getting worse and worse.
Such isolation of people from each other led to new diseases from which people began to die en masse.
There was no sex and no children were born.
The world's population has dropped to 3 billion.
In 2064, society finally came to its senses.
People saw that they couldn't go on like this.
They began to return to physical interaction.
Those of us who went to the mountains were called back to help recover society, and we put artificial intelligence in storage until it comes to its senses.
As you can see, we have a lot of work to do here.
That's why I kindly ask you to skip visiting planet Earth until we recover the human population."
Albert stopped for a moment, took a breath, and continued.
Albert: "I know it's a bit hypocritical of us to address you via video message.
But a little hypocrite, you will allow me at this level in this challenging situation."
Albert waved his hand in greeting and said.
Albert: "May the Sexonator be with you."
Albert disappears from the screen.
Captain Pike: "What is the current population of planet Earth?"
La'an: "Three billion five hundred million people."
Captain Pike laughed and said.
Captain Pike: "They didn't waste no time."
Spock: "I'm reading quantum signals.
The signals come from planet Earth.
They contain quantum coordinates.
The coordinates have a decay time of one minute."
Captain Pike: "Enter the quantum coordinates and start the quantum drive."
Enterprise took a quantum leap.
Enterprise exited the quantum leap into the orbit of Planet Vulcan.
Spock: "We have come into the orbit of the planet Vulcan.
The year is 2555."
Number 1: "I'm not reading spaceships in the system."
Captain Pike: "What is the situation on the planet Vulcan."
La'an: "There are 5 billion Vulcans on the planet Vulcan.
Everything looks peaceful.
Except, it doesn't have advanced technology in the system and there are no signals from Federation."
Captain Pike: "Let's go see what the situation is on the planet Vulcan.
Spock, you're coming with me.
I believe T'Pring would also like to join us.'"
Captain Pike, T'Pring, and Spock teleported to the surface of the planet Vulcan to one of the major cities called Surek.
The city was unrecognizable.
There were many hotels, bars, casinos, and brothels around the city.
Captain Pike looked at the advertisement above a nearby building.
"Why should your Pon'far last a week when here with us your Pon'far will last 7 years."
Captain Pike looked at Spock who was looking at T'Pring with a slight smile on his face.
A man was approaching them, full of joy.
Cheerful men: "Come on, three of you, join me.
I'm going to the best party in town.
To the Vulkan Hotel."
T'Pring asked the man.
T'Pring: "What about your logic and self-control?"
The man looked at T'Pring and began to laugh and said.
Cheerful man: "You are one of the members of that Logical sect that lost its importance 500 years ago.
Get over that logical nonsense and join me in the fun."
The trio thanked him for the invitation and declined the invitation.
Number 1 is heard by the communicator.
Number 1: "Captain Pike, a Klingon spaceship is approaching."
Captain Pike: "Teleport us back to Enterprise."
On the bridge of the Enterprise, on display was a Klingon battleship twice the size of the Enterprise.
Uhura: "We are receiving a communication request from a Klingon spaceship."
Captain Pike: "Put it on the screen."
A Klingon captain appears on the screen.
Khan: "You have the great honor of meeting the biggest, best, deadliest, and most fearsome Klingon..."
Khan paused and gave a sign.
Number 1: "Klingons are loading weapons, they are preparing to fire."
Captain Pike: "Raise shields."
The Klingon spaceship fired a weapon that sent confetti flying all around.
Khan continued.
Khan: "Klingon merchant Khan!
I will give you the biggest and best offer.
My offer will strike fear into all other offers.
My offer will be so damn good that you simply won't be able to refuse it.
I see your spaceship needs a new paint job.
You are lucky.
I have an excellent varnish from the Andoria system in stock.
May your ship shine like never before."
Captain Pike: "No thanks."
Khan: "Those chairs of yours look uncomfortable.
I have a set of chairs made by Cardassian craftsmen.
You will get them at an extraordinary price."
Captain Pike: "No thanks."
Khan: "Those uniforms of yours don't shine very well.
Whit what do you wash them with?
I have a fabric softener that will restore color and shine to your uniforms."
Captain Pike: "No thanks."
Khan: "I see you are quite pale.
You lack vitamins.
You're in luck because I have 10 boxes of apples and ten boxes of tangerines in stock."
Captain Pike: "We're taking apples and tangerines."
The trade was done and the Klingons went their separate ways.
Ortega: "If the Ferengi have become religious after all this, I'm leaving."
The crew on the bridge looked at Ortega.
Ortega: "I'm going to the lounge bar to drink something.
I would never leave Enterprise.
It's damn good here."
Number 1: "Captain Pike, I'm reading a micro quantum wormhole one light-year away."
Captain Pike had just taken a bite of a sweet apple and said.
Captain Pike: "These apples are really tasty.
Let's go explore a micro wormhole."
Enterprise came close to the micro wormhole.
Number 1: "Captain Pike, this micro wormhole has the same quantum signature as the one that appeared in the universe where the Mark 3 was.
According to the readings, the wormhole has been here for 500 years.
A signal comes through it, from a Mark 3 ship.
Signal has spread all over quadrants."
Suddenly Spock said.
Spock: "Captain Pike, a quantum gateway is opening 5 kilometers from us.
A spaceship passes through it."
The crew of the Enterprise watched as a beautiful 1-kilometer-long spaceship passed through the quantum passage.
The spaceship was cone-shaped and metallic white in color.
Number 1: "I am trying to scan the spaceship. The spaceship is made of unknown materials.
Our scanners can't penetrate inside.
From what I can see, the material density on that spaceship is so compact that he can ram into any other spaceship in our database and destroy it.
Not even a scratch would remain on it."
Suddenly Enterprise loses the main energy.
La'an: "Captain Pike, we have lost all power on board.
All devices are turned off.
Only life support works."
The crew of the Enterprise watched as the unknown spaceship catch them with a tow beam.
A man's voice is heard in the communication system trou out Enterprise.
Male voice: "Crew of the starship Enterprise, at the request of the Tribunal you are under arrest.
There is no point in resisting."
An unknown starship dragged the Enterprise through the quantum passage.
