"Uhura!"
"Yes, Captain Kirk?"
"What are you & Scotty doing over there all this time?"
"Well, Captain, we were, uh, ... you see, ..."
"Captain, Ah'm afrrrraid it's all my fault, we, uh ..."
"Scotty, tell...me...what do you... mean it's...
your fault?"
"Captain, Scotty merely asked me to a certain
frequency,and we ran across this interesting dialog
and, I'm afraid that we might have caused a slight
hitch in the time continuum."
"Scotty, what... does she ... mean ...a ...slight ...
hitch ...in the ...time...con--tinuum?!"
"Captain, do ye rrrememberrrr that time when we had a
wee bit o' trib, uh, Ah mean, trrrrouble with the
trrrransporterrr when we werrre trrrying to trrransport

"Well, ya seee, Captain, uh, do ye rrrrememberrrr
those Irrrish musicians we had trrrransported a bit
earrrrlierrr that day to another ship?"
"You mean, ... those ... drummers, ... Mr. ... Scott?"
"Aye, Captain! Ah'm afrrrraid that when we sent those
Irrrrish musicians, the molecules o' theirrr
instrrruments may ha' been in the trrranporrrterrrrr
bufferrrs the whole time, and then when we trrrried
to trrransport the wee beasties, welll, Captain,
theirr molecules may ha' been a wee bit scrrrambllld
wi' the instrrruments, so, ye see, Captain, we may ha'
sent 'em back in time, welll, onto earrrrth, in the
past, sirrr!"
"Uhura, ... just ... what ... year ...do...you and...
Mr. ...Scott, uh ...what earth ...year...were they ...
transported to?"
"Well, Captain, Scotty & I believe that it was
aproximately the very late 1900's, or possibly as late
as the year 2000 or so."
