Robot Ruckus

And now for something completly different...

Marvin the Paranoid Android, R2-D2, C3P0 and Gir are left on an abandoned Galaxy class starship in the Star Trek Universe.

What happens?

Yeas, i know the name is very stupid

R2-D2 expresses disgust at how poorly designed the ship is and how he can't interface with the computer. Marvin acts like his usual self. C-3PO avoids Marvin because he's horribly depressing; 3PO acts like his usual self. Gir just dicks around and does random shit.

And... that's about it, really.

Marvin sinks into depression over having been abandoned.

R2 tries to figure out a way to get back to Luke and company but fails as he can't seem to get anything to work.

3PO assists R2 as he can but pretty much remains as useless as he normally does insisting that it must be some kind of mistake and Luke and company will retrieve them.

Gir acts crazy (as per usual) going around saying "What's this do?" "Oh look at the shiny" etc and destructive hilarity ensues until he comes across the warp core. Gir proceeds to cause the Galaxy to explode and ends this scenario.

Is this a RAR?

No, merely a crossover.

Marvin sinks into a lethargy. C-3P0 initially finds common ground with him, but eventually decides that he's just too doom and gloom.

R2-D2, as the only vaguely competent robot on board, is forced to kill or disable Gir when the latter starts tearing the ship apart in a manic frenzy.

Marvin sulks in the corner. Artoo enlists Threepio's help to build an adaptor to allow him to interface with the starship's systems and proceeds to use the ship's artificial gravity to chuck Gir out of an airlock.

3PO might actually be more successful than R2 at interfacing with the computer, given the voice command-heavy Federation interface.

where are the other robots?

I mean we could of had Forbidden Planet Robot, the Drones from Silent Running, A cylon Centurian Classic, a Cylon Centurian Neo, Twiky, a Nexus type 6.....

Gumby and his dad come and shut them all off and fix their house, and then Joel and the bots leave the theater.

Sticking a Terminator robot into the mix would've made it more interesting...

Ok, but can we have a nice sexy Gynoid too?

how about Naomi Armitage?

or

Number Six (or was that number Sex)

or

how about Knute and Bareoes' Boss from Appleseed?

I was kind of hoping this thread was going to be about a robotic Uncle Ruckus, who just hates black robots.

If the universal translator gets what R2 is saying, then all he has to do is get down to the holodeck, and use it as a control for the entire ship (by making a control port similar to those that are so common in star wars. In that case R2 doesn't need C3PO.

HAHAHAHA QFT

But seriously, doesn't GIR sometimes go into an incredibly competent mode where he's just uber badass? Surely, he'll end up leading this merry band of scallywags like interstellar pirates as they pillage and loot all the hapless virgins of distant Federation colonies. R2 has a bit of a romantic streak in him, I'd say, so he's probably down with it. They'll have C-3PO run cover with his voice-mimic systems, and no one will ever catch them.

Youtube, for those who don't know what is being talked about

That one's actually Robot Rumpus, not Ruckus. "That squares my chest!"

Anyways, R2 reconfigures a shuttle to run 8000% percent more efficiently than it used to and fine-tunes its phasers and shields to be able to take on half of Starfleet. C3PO tries to strike up a conversation with Marvin, which just sends the latter into an even deeper depression because the former is nothing but a linguistic and intellectual shadow of him.

Marvin interfaces with the ships computer and promptly causes it to commit suicide. He then causes the holodeck to take over the entire ship and do a dramatic re-enactment of the worst parts of the Krikkit wars before shutting down out of sheer boredom.

Gir runs around shouting "Wheeee!", uses the replicator to make four billion burritos before its circuits overload, and connects himself to the plasma conduits, causing every single computer console on the ship to explode at once. He then accidently spaces himself when he mistakes an airlock's controls for a DVD player.

IIRC, that competent mode lasts, on average, about two seconds, long enough for him to get red-eyes and say "Yes my master!" in a menacing voice before going back to his normal self. These episodes usually occur once every week or so.
