Captain, we are under attack by an unidentified ship. Damage report. We've sustained heavy damages to the engines. We've lost our warp drive. We'll have to attempt to make contact. This is Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise. We don't wish to engage. What is the nature of this attack? I am Captain Corps of the ship Coltons. Your ship attacked our search party. No, you're not doing it right. Corps doesn't sound like that. His voice is deeper. I am Captain Corps of the ship Coltons. Your ship... No, if you can't do an authentic Klingon voice, I'll have to find a more serious Star Trek fan who can actually act, okay? But, but, I already bought the Klingon suit and the wig, Ben.
