Here's the content for Day 5....
    [*]DS9's "The Search II" by Marc.[*]Doctor Who's "Aliens of London" (a title that makes me think of "Werewolves of London" and then in turn of "Bad Moon Rising"), by Scooter.[*]And Cliffhangers, Part 3, by Kira.[/list]

    Tomorrow, Day 6, which will bring a new twist or two.

Odo: I never get any helpful insights when I change into something. Most inanimate objects lead very dull lives.
Female Shapeshifter: Then you must be doing something wrong. What was the last object whose shape you assumed?
Odo: A burned-out lightbulb. It wasn't an enlightening experience.
Heheh.

Quote:
Borath: Really, Commander... you should learn to be more trusting.
Sisko: That's the same answer I got from Dax when I asked her to explain why a Wookie was piloting a Federation Stardestroyer.
:mrgreen:

Quote:
Odo: She and I are just friends, not lovers.
Female Shapeshifter: I am pleased to learn that to you she is nothing but a platonic solid.
Ouch! :lol:

Quote:
Bashir: Well, we could ask the Prophets to make the Dominion fleet vanish when it travels through the wormhole.
Dax: Or we could lay a field of self-replicating mines around its entrance.
Sisko: Let me rephrase my question -- does anyone have any realistic proposals?
Garak: I suggest using a salvo of photon torpedoes to collapse the entrance to the wormhole.
Jem'Hadar Soldier: Silence, you Cardassian traitor, or I'll remove your ra!
Garak: My ra? Whatever are you talking about?
(ZAP!)
Garak: GAK!
:mrgreen:


Quote:
Jackie: Traveling? You left your passport!
Rose: As if that mattered. It's London, Cardiff, or nothing with this guy. I'd see more of the world watching Food Network.


Jackie: He's an alien! The Doctor! He travels in a big blue box!
QVC Operator: Ma'am, we don't have anything like that. Are you trying to reach the
Alien Helpline?
Jackie: Sorry, must have hit speed dial.
Heehee :mrgreen:

Quote:
Doctor: The pig still had the sales slip from Ikea. It's actually a coffee table cunningly modified for low-orbit space travel.
Rose: Ooo, I always wanted one of those.
Doesn't everyone?



Quote:
Derek: What the--? I didn't narrate that bazooka.
Kira: (aiming the bazooka) I think we can all see where your narrating got us, Mr. Let's-Get-Chased-By-Aliens.
Yeah, really!

Quote:
Marc: Almost reminds me of New Zealand.
Kira: You're imagining things. Anyways, so we find this powerful ring --
Zeke: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
IJD GAF: Hey look, Zeke found a cedar tree.
:lol:

Quote:
IJD: Maybe we should find an adventure that doesn't have anything to do with rings.
Zeke: (up the tree) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
[...]
(pause)
IJD: I'm done.
:lol:

Quote:
Kira: ...Right. Okay, so we're in a tomb deep in a forbidden jungle. We're here to retrieve a priceless artifact with mysterious powers.
IJD: So we can sell it?
Kira: So we can keep it from falling into the wrong hands, obviously.
Marc: Like yours?
Kira: I plead the fifth.
Derek: What does any of this have to do with Star Trek?
Kira: What do aliens have to do with Star Trek, Mr. Smarty Pants? Wait....

Female Shapeshifter: Goodbye, Odo. It's too bad you don't share our vision of order for the Alpha Quadrant. We could have made the trains run on time there.
Odo: You're the rulers of a vast interstellar empire. I can't believe you'd want to get involved in something so mundane as overseeing the details of railroad timetables.
Female Shapeshifter: How little you understand us. We are what the solids mockingly call control freaks. That's what we do.
Heh, 'course that's what it ended up being all about, didn't it? (I think I recall a "peace in our time" line somewhere -- guess it must have been in another fiver.)

Pig Alien: Squeeee -- GAK!
Doctor: It was scared, you didn't have to kill it! And mint sauce is for lamb, you moron.
Soldier: I knew that.

Quote:
Jackie: Um, which bureau are you from again?
Strickland: The Bureau of Unzipping My Head and Killing You.
Jackie: What a cock-up! That's not who I called at all.
Hee hee hee. Isn't that always the way?

Hmmm ...

I suspect though if any future events manage to achieve a higher pun density than this one that severe disruption to the normal flow of space and time will result. Not that anyone would notice, mind.

O'Brien: We'll take her back with us, sir. We came to look for you in a Federation Star Destroyer, so we've got plenty of room aboard.
Methinks the Founders got their series crossed when they prepared their simulation.

Quote:

Odo: A burned-out lightbulb. It wasn't an enlightening experience.
*Twitch.*

Quote:
Garak: Let me go talk with her and try to smooth things out. I have a talent for persuading Romulans to play along.
I should know what this means, but I'm drawing a blank, unless it refers to Garak's tenure as a "gardener" at the Cardassian embassy on Romulus.

Quote:
Kira: A great man once said, "Don't try to be a great rock, just be a rock, and let history make its own judgments."
Odo: Someone really said that?
Kira: Well, not exactly.
*snicker*

Quote:
Nechayev: Good news, Commander -- the treaty's been signed.
Borath: Under its terms, the Dominion will now take control of the wormhole, the station, Bajor, all Federation colonies, all of Starfleet....
Sisko: And just what happens to Earth, if I may ask?
Borath: Earth? Let me check... I think it's mentioned somewhere here in Appendix D.
Demolished to make ay for a hyperspace bypass.

Quote:
Jem'Hadar Soldier: Silence, you Cardassian traitor, or I'll remove your ra!
Garak: My ra? Whatever are you talking about?
(ZAP!)
Garak: GAK!
Took me a second reading to get this. Very clever.

Quote:
Kira: The power source seems to be behind this mysterious door. Can you open it?
Odo: I think so. (knocks) Open up in there, it's me.
(CREAK!)
Kira: Incredible. They fell for it.
Odo: Of course. "Me" is always someone everybody knows.
Everything old is new again.

Quote:
Zeke: Quick, into the garbage chute!

Kira: We're not on a Death Star.

Derek: You could have picked a better time to not rip off Star Wars.
*snicker* Self-parody is a great thing.

The whole thing was great, Kira, just not in a way that's easily quotable.

It's a reference to "In The Pale Moonlight," in which Garak "persuades" the Romulans to join the war against the Dominion.
