Voiceover Script – "Brawlin’ & Crawlin’" USS Morro Bay – April 2402 Scene 1 – Runt spots WilliamsNARRATOR (tense):The auxiliary room was dim, lit only by the red alert glow and flickering monitors. Amid the shadows, Runt saw what mattered most—his best friend, Reon Williams… cornered, injured… and not alone. RUNT (shouts):“WILLIAMS!” NARRATOR:Two Vaadwaur turned toward the shout. That’s when chaos erupted. Scene 2 – Combat NARRATOR:Williams sprang up, tackling one of the Vaadwaur. Runt hissed and pounced on the second. Amira, calm as ever, watched and waited. VAADWAUR #1 (panicked):“LITUT! GET THE CAT OFF ME!” NARRATOR:Too late. A punch from Williams silenced the first. A sharp kick from Amira took care of the second. RUNT:“Tie this dude up—or, or something!” Scene 3 – Vaadwaur wakes up NARRATOR:Later, the Vaadwaur awoke, tied to a monitor base. Amira stood watch. Runt nursed Williams’ wounds, fuming. RUNT:“I say we beat some sense into him!” WILLIAMS:“No. We need answers. How many boarded? Where’s our crew?” NARRATOR:The prisoner said nothing. Just glared. Scene 4 – Good Cop, Bad Cop RUNT:“I rip open ships all day, pal. Maybe I open you up next.” WILLIAMS (calmly):“Easy there Runt. This guy just wants to get home.” RUNT (grumbling):“He and his little cronies almost ripped out my ears!” VAADWAUR 2:“You won’t get a word out of me. Especially with the cat around.” WILLIAMS:“I understand. All this unpleasantness… above our pay grade, right?” NARRATOR: "It was all theater now, good cop, bad cop. A performance, but a dangerous one." Scene 5 – Intimidation WILLIAMS:“Listen, we want to go home. You must want off our ship. Help us a little.” VAADWAUR 2: “Tch. I can serve my empire without having to bend to Starfleet.” WILLIAMS:“You got to work with me man, my crewmate over there? I can’t be responsible for what he’ll do to ya.I mean, you should have seen him what he did with the gorn wihtout any assistants” AMIRA: “Oh, please. What is the kitty going to do?” NARRATOR:Runt’s claws flashed. He lunged. SLAM—right beside the prisoner’s head. VAADWAUR 2 (terrified):“OKAY! OKAY, fine!” Scene 6 – Confession VAADWAUR 2: “It’s not even my like, fourth day here, okay?! I-I joined ‘cause I had to!” VAADWAUR:“My name’s Ivvën! My mom’s a high-ranking official—she’ll can give you money!” AMIRA:“We don’t want money. We need information.” WILLIAMS:“Why did you board our ship, Ivvën?” IVVËN:“Conquest! Take over sectors. Get rid of Starfleet!” NARRATOR: “No prisoners…” Williams realized with a chill. Their crew—gone? WILLIAMS (somber):“So you’re not taking prisoners…” Scene 7 – Threat + Leverage IVVËN:“It wasn’t my idea! It was my captain’s!” AMIRA:“We’ll let you go… but you’re with us. Insurance.” Scene 8 – Tactical Planning WILLIAMS:“There’s an armory locker down the corridor. We can phasers there” RUNT:“Fuck...” IVVËN (nervous):“H-Hey! Hey, I don’t want you attacking any of my men!” AMIRA (flat):“You’re suggesting we let them?” IVVËN “At least, not fatally!” Scene 9 – Gear Up & Move Out NARRATOR:Down the corridor, they slipped. The locker opened. Phaser rifles in hand. AMIRA:“Set to stun. We’re heading for engineering.”
