"Chess Game"

Star Trek Strange New Universe

Chess Game

Ortega was walking down a corridor on the spaceship Enterprise.

It was 2 a.m. And the night's peace was felt on the Enterprise.

Suddenly, Ortega heard a voice coming from the direction of the lounge bar.

Voice: "I will spare you, I will destroy you.

I will spare you, I will crush you."

Ortega entered the lounge bar and saw Jeff sitting at the table, talking with a delicious piece of cheesecake.

Ortega: "Hey Jeff. What are you doing?"

Jeff: "I'm deciding whether to eat this delicious piece of cheesecake."

Ortega: "The cake looks great.

There is not much doubt here.

I would eat such a delicious cake right away."

Jeff: "That's how I thought about the first five cakes today.

Since we entered the 2020 year, I threw myself into the most famous cake from that time.

After five delicious cakes, I am now in doubt about this sixth one."

Ortega: "Eat that sixth cake, you will probably regret it later."

Number 1 is heard over the communication system.

Number 1: "All senior officers, report for duty."

Ortega headed to the bridge of the Enterprise.

On the Enterprise bridge.

Spock: "A quantum comet has entered the solar system.

It is the first such comet we have seen.

The comet is now approaching planet Pluto."

La'an: "A quantum comet has a large gravitational field.

We can't get close to him within 1 million kilometers."

Number 1: "Eagle Eye is a smaller ship with a lower overall mass.

He could get much closer to the quantum comet.

That way we can study it better."

Captain Pike: "Let Eagle Eye approach the comet.

Lt. Elon will take the Eagle Eye and go on a mission."

The crew on the bridge of the Enterprise watched as Lt. Elon took off in the Eagle Eye craft towards the quantum comet.

Number 1: "Eagle Eye approached within 500,000 kilometers of the quantum comet.

We're getting readings."

Suddenly, an explosion flashes from where the Eagle Eye was.

Spock: "Eagle Eye has hit a mine.

The spacecraft has disappeared.

I'm scanning inside the quantum comet."

A few moments passed.

An image of the interior of the quantum comet appeared on the screen.

Inside the quantum comet was a room with two chairs and a table.

Two Elon's were sitting on the chairs and there was chess on the table.

Captain Pike: "Can we contact the two Elons playing chess?"

Spock: "No, we are unable to do that.

We can only watch what happens.

If we get close to a quantum comet, we will be destroyed."

The crew on the bridge of the Enterprise watched two Elons play a game of chess.

The two Elons were 100% dedicated to the game of chess.

15 minutes have passed

Elon played an even game of chess against another Elon.

It was obvious that this game of chess would end in a stalemate.

Elon made the last move.

The game of chess ended in a draw.

The two Elons disappeared from the room.

Two other Elons appeared in the room and began a new game of chess.

The crew of the Enterprise watched two Elons play chess.

Elon's played an even game of chess.

15 minutes have passed.

The game of chess ended in a stalemate.

Two Elon's have disappeared.

Two new Elon's appeared in the room.

They started a game of chess.

Spock: "Captain Pike, the quantum comet will continue to take Elons from different universes and put them in a chess room, and chess games between two Elons will always end in a stalemate."

Captain Pike: "How can we free Elon from the quantum comet?"

Spock: "According to my calculations In 100 hours it will be Elon's turn, from the universe we are in, for a game of chess.

We have to go get him from planet Earth and prepare him for a game of chess."

Captain Pike gave the order and the Enterprise headed away from the quantum comet into the orbit of planet Earth.

On the bridge of the Enterprise.

La'an: "I found where Elon is.

He's on the beach."

Captain Pike: "I'm going to teleport to the beach."

On the beach, Elon watched as Captain Pike teleported beside him.

Elon: "Captain Pike, good day.

We haven't seen each other in a while."

Captain Pike: "Greetings Elon, we have a situation on the Enterprise that we need your help with."

Captain Pike briefly explained to Elon what it was all about and the two of them teleported to the Enterprise.

On the Enterprise, Spock prepared a table, two chairs, and a chessboard.

To one side sat a crew member of the Enterprise.

Elon sat down on the other side.

The two started playing a game of chess.

Elon beat an Enterprise crew member at chess in 15 minutes.

The next crew member sat down at the chess table.

Elon played chess against him.

Elon has beaten him.

Over the next 30 hours, Elon played 100 games of chess against 100 members of the Enterprise crew.

Elon won all one hundred chess games.

Elon was exhausted.

He went to rest.

When Elon woke up.

He continued to play chess against the crew of the Enterprise.

He played another 100 games of chess against 100 Enterprise crew members.

Elon won all 100 chess games.

Fatigue overcame Elon.

He went to rest.

When he awoke, a member of the Enterprise crew was waiting for him at a chess table.

Elon started playing chess.

He defeated a crew member of the Enterprise.

Elon played another 50 games of chess.

He won every time.

Spock: "Captain Pike, there are two and a half hours left.

We are running out of time.

If we want to break the quantum loop, we need to pick up the pace."

Captain Pike: "I see, it is time for a mirror game of chess."

Captain Pike sat down at the chess table.

Captain Pike made the first move.

Elon made a move.

Captain Pike made a move.

Elon made a move.

Captain Pike made a move.

Elon made a move.

Captain Pike made a move.

Elon looked at the mirror situation in front of him.

Elon made a move and checked Captain Pike.

The next member of the Enterprise crew sat down for a game of chess with Elon.

Elon has beaten him in 4 moves.

Elon won each of the next 50 chess games in 4 moves.

100 hour have passed.

A light flashed where Elon was.

Number 1: "Elon is in a quantum comet at a chess table.

Opposite him is Lieutenant Elon.

The two of them started playing a game of chess."

The crew on the bridge of the Enterprise watched intently as the two Elons played chess.

The game of chess was uncertain.

Suddenly Number 1 spoke.

Number 1: "Discovery appeared next to us."

The moment Discovery appeared next to Enterprise, on the quantum comet, Elon made a move and checkmated Elon.

The comet exploded.

Enterprise found itself four days earlier.

It was 2 am.

On the Enterprise Bridge.

Spock: "Captain Pike, the Discovery has appeared ahead of us.

Number 1: "All senior officers should report for duty."

Uhura: "Discovery is not sending a communication request."

Captain Pike: "Send Discovery communication request.

We haven't seen each other in a while.

It would be their turn to come to dinner."

The crew on the bridge of the Enterprise watched as the Discovery vanished in a quantum leap.

Captain Pike's communicator ring.

Jeff was on the line.

Jeff: "Captain Pike, a situation has occurred."

Captain Pike: "Say, Jeff."

Jeff: 'I'm in the lounge bar and there was a piece of cheesecake in front of me.'

Ortega: "I saw that piece of cheesecake, it looked very tasty."

Jeff: "The cheesecake indeed looked delicious.

A few moments ago, the cheesecake disappeared before my eyes.

It seemed to be teleported.

A note in place of cheesecake has appeared."

Captain Pike: "What does the note say?"

Jeff: "On the note it says;

These 1001 pieces of cheesecake are mine.

A signature, D."

Captain Pike: "Next time I'm calling everyone from Discovery to dinner."

Spock: "Captain Pike, I am reading a quantum signal, in the signal are quantum coordinates.

Signal cane from a place where Discovery was several moments ago.

Quantum coordinates are degrading and they will become unusable in the next 5 min."

Captain Pike:" Looks like Discovery has left us a present.

Enter the quantum coordinate and start the quantum drive."

Enterprise has executed a quantum jump.
