From: Ian Wheeler (ian@ianjames.demon44.co.uk) Date: Sat, 7 Jun 1997 16:42:06 +0100 To..: Space1999@buffnet.net Subject: Space1999: You knew it would arrive before long....... THE SPACE 1999, STAR TREK VOYAGER TIE IN! Feel free to cringe and cry in anger and hatred as you read this...... I thought "Why not?" If we can do a Tie in from Knots Landing, why not ST:Voyager? Indeed, why not tie in "Absolutely Fabulous?" I'd love to see that! Space......Harry Kim was getting fed up of seeing lots of it, day after day....empty. He sat bored at his station, Looking around at the quietly busy bridge. He had nothing to do, and had another hour left on his duty shift, so he ran diagnostics, secretly played holochess with the computer, and got some disdainful looks from Tuvok when the computer beeped wildly at winning, so he turned off the sound functions. Just before he did, A different wild beeping came from the status panel.....A sensor alert. He tapped a few touchpads, and called up sensor view. The lateral array was registering a temporal anomaly, and just before he sighed "not again".....the panel readout changed. A large spherical object appeared on the display. He rubbed his eyes and made sure he knew what he was seeing before calling Captain Janeway. Kathryn Janeway was concentrating on getting the light just right on the picture of her home on Earth, just as it was during the long summer evenings she remebered as a child. The commbadge on her uniform bleeped, and she jumped, painting a streak across the canvas. She grumbled, and hit her combadge. "Janeway, what IS it?" "Captain, report to the bridge please, there's something you ought'a see here," replied a frantic Harry Kim. Kathryn rushed out to the main bridge, worried. Chakotay and Tom Paris were emerging from the Turbolift as she bounded out of the ready room, and Tuvok reported, "Captain, we have sighted a large spherical object, on our bow, that has appeared from some sort of....." "Let me guess.....Temporal Anomaly?" Kathryn was getting tired of hearing those words. "Yes sir", replied a somewhat surprised Tuvok. "It matches the size and shape of one of the Sol system's planetary bodies....." "On Screen", Tom Paris hit the viewer control keys on his station and up popped a sight he never expected to see again in his lifetime. The MOON was sitting there, not only slowly revolving, but moving as well, toward Voyager. He let out an expletive without realising it, and Chakotay looked at him, with a shocked look on his face. Whther it was at the sight on the viewer, or Paris' language, no one knew. "Analysis", snapped Capt. Janeway, surprised. "It is identical in size and shape to Earth's moon", rpeorted Ensign Wildman, as srurpised as everyone else. The Doctor wearing his hologenerator, Kes, and Neelix emerged from the Turbolift, and wondered what the fuss was about. "The Mess hall was crowded with people getting a look at that, what is it?", asked Neelix in a curious voice. "The Moon of our world, Neelix, Earth's moon....." Cue title credits here................................................. Janeway paced, with a concerned look on her face around the conference lounge. she addressed her officers: "We have found the Earth's moon, 70,000 light years from Earth, emerging out of a Temporal rift. Why? How?" Tuvok replied: "Indeed, it is most unusual. Janeway wondered if Tuvok had always had a knack for stating the obvious. Ensign Wildman added: "Our readings have determined that the Moon had entered some form of natural space warp, and travelled time as well as space." "You mean this moon is from the future?" "More like the past, sir." Janeway sat back in her chair, wondering..."from how far in the past?" "300 years. We dtermine it's from the year 1999". "My god", gasped Janeway. "What can we do? Suggestions." Chakotay took the opportuity to sound his view. "I think we should make contact," "Why?" "They're probably in the same situation we are, billions of Kilometers, and hundreds of years from their home, I think they need our help." "Hm..." replied Janeway, contemplatively. She wondered for a second, and listened to the doctor, who had petitioned to speak. "Captain, does it seem reasonble to assume that they are all right? They come from a time when man didn't know much about the power of Space, and indeed of spacewarps, they may be in need of urgent aid." Janeway, rubbed her weary eyes and replied "OK, Let's begin a first contact procedure, but, STAY ALERT, we need to be careful with this one". John Koenig looked around, rather annoyed, and indeed shocked at the state this latest Space Warp had left his Base, indeed, his community. Medical center was awash with people, rangin from bruised and broken arms and legs, to awful internal and external injuries. Dr. Helena Russell walked over, and reported, draped in surgical gown, complete with bloodied gloves, and sweat pouring down her face. "John, we have 64 casualties in total, 5 life threatening, 12 mild casualites, and the rest are really only cuts and bruises." "Thank god", replied Koenig, " what about the 5 majors?" "Drs. Vincent and Mathias are working on them now." John sighed, and made his way to Main Mission, helping with any little jobs he could do, like push a corridor panel back into place, wherever he could. The corridors were rather busy, bustling with emergency response teams, as well as repair crews, and medical units. Alpha was "picking itself up and dusting itself down after a fall," so to speak. Eventually, he reached Main Mission, Where everyon was either keying in repair programs at the consoles, coordinating repair at on of the stations, or under a workdesk or at the computer wall, wrenching out damaged circuit boards, and beginning repairs. After signing a couple of reports Tanya had handed him, he went over and asked Kano the computer's situation. He reported, not taking his eyes off of his work as he mended his "Child's" logic circuits and processing system. He snapped in a new circuit board, and smiled as part of his child came alive again, the sensor and satellite displays. Koenig switched on the viewer from his desk and gasped. Everyone looked up, to see a spaceship, moving closer to Alpha, a kind of large fish shaped vessel moving towards the base. Koenig pressed his "Alert" button, and nothiong happened, so Snadra Benes raced over to her desk and pressed it. "She opened the Intercom, and announced "ALERT, an unidentified vessel is approaching Alpha, all hands, go to Alert stations!" Kano reported: "The vessel seems to be some sort of Starsip, with an incredible powr source, It is approachin Alpha at a speed roughly half the speed of light. It will reach our position in 5 minutes." "Damn", said Koenig under his breath. Sandra's communicatino panel began to bleep with incoming calls. She opened the channel. "Repeat, this is Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Federation Starship Voyager, do you read, Alpha?" John fell back into his chair, stunned. Avoice, a human voice, coming from an Alien ship? "Repeat, we are from Earth, in the 24th Century, we mean you no harm, do you read?" Everyone in Main Mission screamed in delight. Perhaps this was a way home! Then. Koenig raised a hand, and everyone fell silent. "Open a channel", he said. Sandra complied. Paul Morrow sat and looked sceptical as Victor Bergman burst in through the Forward entryway to See what was going on. "Voyager, this is Moonbase Alpha,John Koenig commanding, do you read?" "Yes" came the excited reply. "I am Kathryn Jameway, commander of this vessel. We are currently 75,000 light years from Earth, and are struggling to get home. To use an old phrase, 'Fancy meeting you here!'" Having been granted permission from Alpha, Voyager landed on the surface of the moon, and The ship's crew was allowed onto Alpha to speed up repairs, which were done in a fraction of the normal time. Major casualties were easily treatd on Voyager, and The Voyager crew were given the Alphans' hospitality. The Voyager crew told of their voyages, and the Alpha crew of theirs. Dr. Bergman and Tuvok postulated that the Temporal rift was also some kind of Interphasic corridor between two alternate unvierses, in essence, time and space had become tangled. They did not know that those tangles had to eventually become untangled. Dr. Russell spent until the early hours of the morning discussing meidcal techniques with the Doctor, And the two commanders seemd to have quite a rapport. Harry and Kano seemed to hit it off as well, discussing technical manuals and computer harware all evening. Tom Paris and Sandra seemed to get along quite well, much to the worry of Paul, who enjoyed listening to Captain Janeway's stories of commanding the Voyager. Alan hit it off quite well with Tom as well. Being Pilots, they both had lots of similar experiences to share. Kes and Tanya spent most of the day in Alpha's arboretum ,discussing plants, and exchanging clippings, Roses for Klingon T'rachna Bulbs, quite beautiful in summer, apparently, and so on. Most of Alpha's crew had found friends in Voyager's crew, and things got along fine, unitl more and more people started to mention the possibility of staying on Alpha. It was something sreiously considered, one, because with Voyager's help, Alpha could be as self sufficient as needed, and two, because both crews were making a rapport with each other, a friendship that could last, and become a blooming community. Tom Paris and Sandra Benes sat in the Main Mission observation area, looking at the vista of moonscape, Voyager, and stars, and talked, softly. Among other topics, Paris asked "Do you suppose our journeys will ever end?" Sandra replied, "I asked myself that a long time ago. You know what the answer was?" "What?" "The Hell if I know." Paris let out a chuckle. The charm she saw on his face made her think of her fiance' on Earth. How she missed him. Was she falling in love with him? She didn't care. Tom replied to her witty retort: "I wish I knew myself. Kinda makes me want to stay here, the possibility of a stable life in one place, it's very appealing." "I know". Tom stared into Sandra's eyes. He knew he was beginning to like her more than he should, especially if they decided not to stay. Then, in the traditional Tom Paris style, he thought "What the hell.." and moved closer to Sandra. She melted in his arms, Her mind filled with thoughts, and also with affection for the handsome traveller. She knew she mustn't, but, she let herself go, and slowly, they kissed..... ....And knew they wanted to be with each other forever....... ....and stopped abruptly. Paul came up onto the observation area. Him and Paris exchanged stifled hellos, and and Paul and Sandra left together, Sandra looking back at Tom, eyes full of regret, and, love. Janeway and Koenig sat in the office behind Main Mission, discussing the possiblities. "We could even disassemble Voyager and use it to build new sections onto Alpha", said Janeway, sounding quite excited about it, as was Koenig. "Hmm.....The technology you posess could make life here wonderful, Perhaps we could even start calling this rock.......home." "Maybe, but could we - My god! LOOK! Janeway and Koenig turned and looked. Voyager, sitting on the Lunar surface was fading......A frantic comm message came through from Voyager. "Captain! The Temporal Anomaly seems to be rephasing....VOYAGER is falling into the same Temporal rift Alpha did! If we don't get off of this moon, we'll end up back from where they left!" "Acknowledged! begin Evac of all VOyager personnel! Perpare to lift off!" Chaos hit the corridors of Alpha as Voyager crew began beaming back to the ship frantically trying to get on board. One Voyager crew member, Tony Verdeschi, got caught in the rush, and was knocked unconscious on a bulkhead. He was ferried to Medical as Voyager tried to lift off. The same confusion took over Voyager. Aplha crew rushed to get transported back to the base, and the transporter rooms were in chaos. Victor Bergman, David Kano, and Paul Morrow tried in vain to get back to Alpha from the Transporter rooms, but failed as transporters ceased to function from the Temporal distortion. Silently, Voyager lifted from the Planet's surface, unknowingly carrying 3 of Alpha's most prized personnel, and a man who knew he had left his one true love behind, and wished he was there with her. Alpha began to fade too, With Tony Verdeschi aboard, a man out of time, and none of them would ever get to see their homes again, at least, the ones they knew. In a flash of blinding light, brighter than the explosion that hurled Alpha out of Earth orbit, brighter ithan the Flash of lgiht that transported Voyager to the Delta Quadrant, and the Strange stings that were time untangled themselves, and Alpha and Voyager continued their unending journeys into destiny...........and beyond. PS. I KNOW there;s a HUGE gaping plot hole, (well, it's more of a crater actually, but there you go) about Tony Verdeschi, and his place on Alpha, (His brother in BofW, etc.), but I thought it sounded cool, so I wore it. Opinions are welcome, and I'd like to see whether MArcy would like it for the Cybrary. -- Ian Wheeler
From: David Welle (dwelle@online.dct44.com) Date: Mon, 09 Jun 1997 19:25:18 Subj: Re: Space1999: / ST: Voyager Tie-In This was pretty interesting. You certainly got the characters from both series down well, and I guess you couldn't resist--and then poke a little fun at--a couple of ST's favorite phrases, such as "temporal anomaly." You've got a good point about the Voyager crew settling on Alpha, rather than the Alpha personnel boarding Voyager. Neither was really able to support any more people than each already had. But for the Alpha personnel to join Voyager would do nothing but strain Voyager's capacities. Some of Alpha's hydroponics technology might have helped; but otherwise, the Alphans were technologically behind and couldn't have helped much. Voyager's life support could not be expanded enough for the Alphans, I'd imagine. The problem would sound the same the other way around (the Voyager crew settling on Alpha); but Alpha's life support, while only barely supporting the Alphans, *could* be expanded--by the Voyager crew--perhaps to the point of being able to support both groups on Alpha. And Alpha is a well-established place that's actually *on* a material body, namely the Moon. While the Moon is still wandering, it is at least larger than a ship. And the Voyager crew could have helped mine the Moon's resources better. I guess it boils down to a question of small size and mobility versus size and stability, and all the related advantages and disadvantages. With your "average" spaceship, or Voyager in particular, you can get: 1) Greater speed (advantage) 2) Independent (the ship is the ship, and nothing else) a) Can select own course (advantage, mostly) b) Must visit planets for *all* new resources (can be a disadvantage) 3) Fixed size a) Remains at a well-designed and tested size (advantage) b) Allows no growth (disadvantage) 4) Requires huge fuel expenditures to move it (disadvantage) With your "average" base on a traveling moon , you can get: 1) Greater size (hmmm... don't know what to say here) 2) Tied-down (the base is tied down to a Moon) a) Cannot select own course (generally a disadvantage) b) *Some* new resources can be gained from the Moon (advantage) 3) Expandable (the base, not the Moon :-) a) Allows for population and technological growth (advantage) b) Expansion phase takes enormous resources (disadvantage) c) After expansion, higher total maintenance (disadvantage) 4) Requires no extra fuel expenditure for movement (advantage) I don't know that any of this rambling makes much sense (and I'm sure I missed some things anyway), but notice that though Alpha had #3 available as a long-term advantage, the Alphans were apparently so close to the edge between survival and collapse that they would not have been able to survive the tremendous short-term costs of building; and, unable to expand the life-support system significantly, it may have been impossible to maintain a larger base anyway. Plus, they were having enough trouble repairing the constant damage they were taking from various attacks. Hmm, I think I'm rambling off a tangent here. Sorry. In any case, I liked how you pointed out some of the similarities of both groups, through the characters and their interactions -- and that the Voyager crew at least didn't try treating the Alphans like they were dinosaurs. Instead, they quickly started settling in with each other, only to get ripped apart at those early stages. >PS. I KNOW there;s a HUGE gaping plot hole, (well, it's more of a crater >actually, but there you go) about Tony Verdeschi, and his place on >Alpha, (His brother in BofW, etc.), but I thought it sounded cool, so I >wore it. Well, no worse than ignoring the Area One explosion when I wrote my 1999/2001 crossover! There's simply no way to get everything to work together when dealing with two different "universes." And hey, it did *sound* good -- and it definitely works for Victor Bergman, Paul Morrow, and David Kano in the opposite direction. Makes me wonder how well they would have fared in ST's later timeline, as they were sort of "fish out of water." >Opinions are welcome, and I'd like to see whether MArcy would like it >for the Cybrary. Marcy likes to add new fan fiction (she has said that's the most popular section of the Cyber Museum, if I remember correctly), but she is still unable to add anything to the Cyber Museum for now. But you can certainly send her a note and see what arrangements can be made.
From: David Acheson (dkach@hotmail44.com) Date: Tue, 10 Jun 1997 02:58:55 PDT Subj: Space1999: Space: 1999 and Logan's Run? (sort of OT) All these recent conversations about Space: 1999 and 2001: A Space Odyssey existing in the same universe seem interesting enough. I'm more of a purist so would actually prefer that they have nothing to do with each other but some interesting theories have been brought up. So this lead me to think what other film or series storylines could tie into Space: 1999. May I suggest Logan's Run? Maybe the very beginnings of the domed city was a result of the extreme environmental conditions on Earth after Breakaway. Near the end of the pilot episode the Alphans watch a TV newscast which mentions earthquakes,volcanic eruptions and other such catastrophes. Mix this with a tilt in the Earth's axis, the opening of the ozone hole, and the flooding of several coastlines we have a Earth undergoing extreme changes. The dome may have started on the American coastline as a scientific project like the Biosphere. At some point it may have started to look like the only remaining chance for mankind's survival and it grew over the decades eventually becoming the city in Logan's Run. With a civilisation beginning inside a closed world life outside would quickly be forgotten. At some point the planners must have seen population explosion as a serious problem. Hence, the myth of Carousel. Note when Logan and Jessica escaped into the outside world no mention was ever made of the moon nor did we ever see it in the night sky. Just my own ramblings. Any comments?

In Journey to Where Earth was said to be a total wasteland where nothing could survive. How would you explain the survival of the old man that Logan and Jessica found once they escaped the city. I could see the structures remaining intact but how could a human survive until the world renewed itself. Any thoughts out there??? Kelly
From: "Ted McGee" (thomcg@bconnex44.net) Date: Tue, 10 Jun 1997 19:28:39 +0000 Subj: Space1999: Red Dwarf:1999 Lurk mode off. Some (or many) of you are looking at the subject line and wondering what Red Dwarf and Space:1999 have in common besides being British productions. Check the episode PSIRENS from Red Dwarf VI for the answer. Don't have the tape handy? No problem. I'll tell you. While flying Starbug through an asteroid field in pursuit of the stolen Red Dwarf, the Dwarfers encounter many derelict space craft. On an asteroid, the engine bells, aft VTOL thrusters and port-aft landing gear of an Eagle can clearly be seen. Check it out if you get the chance. Lurk mode on.
From: John J Fleming (John@coldnorth44.com) Date: Wed, 11 Jun 1997 10:11:07 -0400 Subj: Re: Space1999: Red Dwarf:1999 Now, I just watched that ep lastnight. And I looked very closely at that scene. Rewind, slow forward, pause, step one frame at a time, turn my head left, right, almost upside down. (BTW, when you do this in front of the tele, your pets (two cats) start to look at you funny) After all of that. I don't think it is an Eagle. Now, thats just my opinion. The girder work on the top seems to come to a point, as compared to the one we know. And the landing pods on the sides look more pointed as well. Maybe its the low quality of the tapes I have, but I don't think it is an Eagle. An Eagle-like ship yes. An Eagle, no.

I'm out of lurking for a moment to comment on the Red Dwarf Eagle spotting.... it's an eagle without a doubt. Somewhere I have a Red Dwarf publicity photo which shows another shot of the assteroids and you can see the entire model used... I'll try to dig it out and forward it to Marcy to possibly post in the museum. Also within the asteroids is Ripley's escape pod from Alien! cheers, Corey
From: "Ted McGee" (thomcg@bconnex44.net) Date: Wed, 11 Jun 1997 18:55:06 +0000 Subj: Space1999: Red Dwarf:1999 John Fleming's message indicating that he didn't find the Eagle in the Red Dwarf VI episode "Psirens" told me that I forgot to mention exactly where it can be seen. The asteroid on which the Eagle rests will circle from the lower right to the upper right of the TV screen after the scene in which Rimmer faints.
From: Spc1999@aol44.com Date: Wed, 11 Jun 1997 20:17:08 -0400 (EDT) Subj: Re: Space1999: Red Dwarf:1999 There's definately an Eagle in this episode. I think it's an in-joke with the Special Effects guys on the show, some of whom (I believe) used to work for Gerry Anderson. If nothing else, Starbug certainly flys (and crashes) in a fashion remarkably similar to an Eagle. And just for future reference, an object that somewhat resembles the very top of an Eagle appears at 10 minutes fifty-seven seconds into the episode (but I don't think this is an Eagle at all). The scene that clearly shows the main engines and rear landing gear of an Eagle jutting out from behind an asteroid appears at 13 minutes 12 seconds into the episode. -Edd

I recall a feature in a mag (TZ+V Zone, I think) where there is a picture of an asteroid with an Eagle on it, but this was dropped from the actual transmission for copyright reasons, as I recall. Don't have the tape, but I'm pretty sure that the thing people are talking about just looks like an Eagle. They had hoped to use Klingon and other Star Trek craft too, methinks. Time to sleep, let the vodka wear off....

Anyone remember that old half-hour comedy show written by Buck Henry back in the '70's called "Quark"? Well, maybe there's a tie-in with Space: 1999 there... Remember, the mission of Quark's spaceship was to collect nuclear waste in space on behalf of the Perma One colony... there was no longer a Moon on which to store the waste, however... Richard Benjamin would return as Quark and together, he and his crew would encounter the roving Moon lost in deep space. Hilarity and hijinx would ensue as Quark's weird crew interact with members of Koenig's weird crew... - Boomer
