Beam me up, Scotty...

The planet's surface is infested by some kind of slime... my tricorder says it consists primarily of eHungarian goulash.

I'm going to see if I can make contact with the natives... there's one over there... I'll use my universal translator to find out what has caused this mess.

Kirk: "I am Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise, and I..."

Native: "Canadian, eh?"

Kirk: "Well, my alter ego..."

Native: "Yeah, your accent gave you away... are you voting in the election?"

Kirk: "Election?"

Native: "Yeah, in this universe, we have an eCanadian election to Parliament... er, I mean Congress every couple of months... sort of like the ALTERNATE Canda does, you know?"

Kirk: "Must have been before my time..."

Native: "Actually, after your time, but let's not split hairs... are you voting or not?"

Kirk: "I don't know anything about the issues..."

Native: "Neither do most other eCanadians, but don't worry, just vote along party lines, or better still vote for your favourite movie star."

Kirk: "I am my favourite movie star... after Lorne Greene of course!"

Native: "Well here, just vote for Monk Penman, he's better than a movie star... he almost has something to say!"

Kirk: "Beam me up, Scotty..."
