Fan: Venturiantale in Space: The Final Frontier - A Venturiantale Fan Production

This story takes place three weeks after the events of "L4D Space Adventure Mod!

(Manuscript shows up on screen saying: The time and date of this story is not known. After a series of unfortunate events in the vicinity of an asteroid colony, the Federation Starship USS Italian (registry classified) went missing. The crew wasn't heard from again. The USS Defiant (NCC-1764), a refitted Constitution-class heavy cruiser, has been sent on a mission to locate the missing ship and crew, now it has been three weeks since last heard from.)

And so, the story begins... (Opening Titles and credits)

Act 1: Arrival

Capt. Rodney Chance: "Captain's Log, Stardate 8130.4. The Defiant has been dispatched to uncover the whereabouts of the Italian and uncover the cause of its disappearance. So far, though, we have nothing. But we must not lose hope Our goal remains elusive. When will it end?"

Lt. Cmdr. Meatball: "Captain, I'm getting a reading emanating from the surface of the asteroid bearing 359 Mark 215, it appears to be a radiation anomaly of some sort."

Rodney: "Very well, lay in a course for that asteroid. Lieutenant, prepare the transporter room and assemble a landing party. Commander, you're with me. Meatball, you have the bridge."

Cmdr. Spork, Lt. Foxy, and Meatball: "Aye aye, sir."

(Impulse engines engage, Defiant heads for the asteroid)

(Landing Party enters Transporter Room)

Rodney: "Energize."

(The party is transported, they end up inside a pizzeria)

Rodney: "This is really peculiar... Since when are there pizzerias on asteroids?"

Spork: "The only logical explanation would be if this was a holographic trap, or the pizzeria was transported here like Martha's hospital was taken to the moon."

Rodney: "Oh, right, that could very well be possib - Wait, What? I don't remember that being in the ship's log!"

Spork: "Doctor Who reference, Captain. You should look it up sometime later on."

Rodney: "Noted."

(Everyone keeps looking for the anomaly's source)

Lt. Cmdr. Info: "I believe I have found the source of the anomaly, Captain."

(Everyone stares in sight of the burning, scorched wreckage of an unmarked Constitution-Class Starship)

Rodney: (surprised) "My Gosh! Did anyone survive this?!?"

Spork: "To be determined. What I'm interested in is the condition of the wreckage."

Rodney: "Even though it looks bad, I'm happy to say it is salvageable."

Info: "Though I am unable to enter the wreck due to my fragile parts, I am fairly certain that the anomaly is the exhaust plume coming from a burnt-out warp core in the ship. Besides, if I could go inside, I would not be able to stay for long since I require a battery charge in the morning."

Rodney: "Very well. Mr. Info, you'll be going back to the Defiant to get recharged. Everyone else, spread out. I'll enter through this breach in the main deflector."

Spork: I'll go in through the docking port."

Cmdr. Toasty (Son of Johnny Toast): "I'll head for the shuttlebay."

(Everyone enters the wreckage)

(Rodney reaches the engine room)

Rodney: "There's the core... This'll definitely be a summertime project during the break from the Academy: and an expensive one."

(Something moves in the background)

Rodney: (pulls up phaser): "Who was that?"

Voice: "You know who I am, Captain."

Rodney: "Show yourself or get stunned, um... whoever you are!"

Voice: "I took over the Italia, took the crew captive, and I generated the radiation anomaly. The crew may have escaped, but now, your crew and your ship is next. My name... is Khoin."
