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.

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

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.

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?

Interesting tie-in to S19. One question though. 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

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.

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.

the entire model used... I'll try to dig it out and forward it to Marcy to

John Fleming's message indicating that he didn't find the Eagle in

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.

Hi y'all,
This Eagle on Red Dwarf business...
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.

I had heard that the production crew had all these copyright dramas,

as "kit bashing" from the then available model kits.
But that was years ago, around 1991.

At it again, am I.
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...

Actually, Betty 1 and Betty 2 were played by Trish and Cyb Barnstable.
The Landry sisters also appeared in guest star roles in late 70's TV
shows. I think they guest starred on "The Love Boat" about 9 million
times. Don't really know what the Barnstable twins have done other than
calendars since "Quark."
