STAR BLECCH VI: THE UNINSPIRED CONTINUATION
MAD Super Special #83. September 1992
w: Dick DeBartolo
a: Paul Coker, Jr.
The Enterprise is manned by James Kirk (William Shatner), Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols), Chekhov (Walter Koenig), and Scotty (James Doohan). Sulu (George Takei) is captain of the U.S.S. Excelsior. Valeris (Kim Cattrall) is the new helsman protege of Spock.
The Klingons are to make peace with Earthlings and join the United Federation of Planets and are set to diplomatically have dinner aboard the Enterprise, to the reluctance of Kirk, who distrusts Klingons for killing his son. They breaked bread with Klingon Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner) accompanied by his daughter Azetbur (Rosanna DeSoto) and Gen. Chang (Christopher Plummer). After the Klingons return, a torpedo fires at their ship.
All evidence points to the Enterprise having fired at the Klingons, Though they swear it wasn't them. Kirk and McCoy board the Klingon ship to investigate. McCoy tries to save the life of wounded Gorkon and fails. Kirk and McCoy are put on trial for his murder. All that's known is the assassins were wearing magnetic boots.
Kirk and McCoy lose a show trial and are sent to a penal colony. Another prisoner, Martia (Iman) seduces Kirk and makes plans to break them out, then turns out to be a shapeshifter that betrays them. They find out the Klingons sabotaged their own ship, aided by Valeris, to insure there would never be peace between Earthlings and Klingons. The crew must also prevent an assassination attempt at a peace conference to further absolve their guilt. Everyone lives long and prospers once again.
