Great little read with Jonathan Frakes, aka #WillRiker. Maybe he couldn't have saved Nemisis, but might have made it more watchable...

Setting the scene is this #inTake (an out-take that's been edited back into the original clip) from #StarTrek #TheNextGeneration: https://youtu.be/qsVO9EPhpFc (Ryan's Edits: Star Trek INtakes #143, *Riker Rolls With It".)
"Damn it", Geordi muttered to himself as he headed towards the turbolift, "this is the last time I'm going to haul his drunk ass home again... He knows he can't handle his Romulan Ale."
"Computer, location of Commander Riker?", Geordi asked with a sigh, as the turbolift doors whooshed open.
"Commander Riker is in Shuttle Bay 2," the computer answered.
"Huh, I guess the drunken fool thought he could pop off to Risa... again... good thing we installed those breathalysers after the last time; don't want to have yet another incident like we had with that Vidiian ambassador... he really got under her skin."
Geordi chuckled to himself at the pun, but then quickly shuddered as he remembered the holophotos.

"Alright, go home, you're drunk Will", he started with an exasperated groan, recovering quickly with "... 'you ever have a day without bugs popping up', is what I said to the computer after it garbled up your message, sir! So, I figured I'd just head on over here STAT before I have a look at the comms systems. What seems to be the issue?"
'Nice save', LaForge thought to himself, 'better double-check with the computer next time before I assume he's off his rocket again next time... So glad his name also acts as a verb!'

Heh, I just learned that #XCOM2: #WarOfTheChosen has a whole bunch of #StarTrek actors as #VoiceActors!

Michael Dorn (#Worf) as Mox, Jonathan Frakes (#WillRiker) as Volk, Dwight Schultz (#Murdock from The #ATeam and #ReginaldBarclay from Star Trek) as Jeriah, Marina Sirtis (#DeannaTroi) as Elena, John de Lancie (#Q) as Geist, and Denise Crosby (#TashaYar) as Betos. That just put this game a lot higher on my to-play list!
