Now on with the show
In the first-ever feature length episode of Cravenprise-The Large Generation,
The FAT-1701-D(Food & Travel)USS Cravenprise encounters a ghost ship from the past, the Cravenprise-C.
In the new timeline that is created by the arrival of the Cravenprise, The Federation are at war with the Chienians(Klingons) and are losing.
All characters in this story are over exaggerated and do not always act like this
except one but I won�t mention who�He knows who he is and people who goto my school know who he is).
In 79-forward Gomez the ship�s counciler, and Captain Craven are sitting at a table piled with food.
G- I�ve noticed that you always eat alone on a separate table from everybody else. I think that as Captain, you should socialize with your crew, get to know them better.
Cr-I can�t
G- I know, its some sort of problem for you.
I think that there is something in your mind, which prevents you from interacting with others.
Something is at the root of your psychological inability to blend in;
(2 cadets at the next table snigger, Craven pulls out a phaser and shoots them,Gomez continues ignoring Craven's gunfire)
...perhaps you were neglected as a child,
your parents kept you in, stopped you from getting out,
freeing your emotions, and expressing yourself in a way that would clear your mind of shyness.
Cr-Thats not it.
G- Its not?
Cr-No, there�th just not enough room on my table for all my food, let alone anyone else�s.
Look! You,ve just that on my thouflet! Clear off! Go on!
Gomez leaves
Cr-Bloody shrinks.
Suddenly over the intercom
