Timeline: Present

{Admiral Star’s Office, Starfleet HQ}

::Sprague, Andrews and Key beam in::

::Mysterious figure tries running away, but Sprague stuns him. The Mysterious figure crumples to the ground::

Sprague: “Let’s see who has been pulling the strings…”

::Unmasks the mysterious figure by pulling his hooded cloak down::

Key: “No way!”

Andrews: “I don’t believe it!”

::The Mysterious Figure is revealed to be… another Sprague-Bot!::

::Sprague 3000 walks in, seemingly repaired::

Sprague 3000: ::Looks at the mysterious figure:: “What’s happened? What is the meaning of all this?”

Sprague: “It’s about the future. Some people think the future means the end of history. Well, we haven’t run out of history quite yet. Your father called the future… the Undiscovered Country. People can be very frightened of change.”

Andrews: ::Whispering to Key:: “What’s he talking about?”

Key: ::Shrugs:: “I tend to just go with it.”

Star: ::Cheerfully:: “And so, the mystery is finally over.”

Andrews: “No it isn’t. This just poses more questions. Who created these Sprague bots? And all the other bots? And why?”

Star: ::Sternly:: “I said: the mystery is finally over. That’s an order.”

Andrews: “Aye, sir.”
