Pet oseb išče avtorja. Ker pač niso zadovoljne s svojo literarno usodo. Malokdo od knjižnih ali filmskih junakov lahko je. Njihov pisatelj je njihov naravni sovražnik, ki jim nekako mora greniti usodo, da se s tem prikupi svojim založnikom in izbirčnim bralcem, posebno pa še literarnim kritikom iz tegale, neliteraturnega sveta. Če je literanemu junaku predobro in prelepo, je roman (ali film) praviloma označen za “pogrošno literaturo, ki nima nobene globje vrednosti”. Angelika recimo, ali Heidi. Taki avtorji, ko zjutraj preberejo njim namenjene kritike, potem jokajo vso pot do banke, pri kateri imajo odprt svoj račun.
Zaradi te družbene presije, delujoče na status pisateljev in scenaristov, usode junakov fikcije, zdaleč niso samo rožnate. Pisatelj, scenarist in režiser, mirno in radevoljno izdajajo interese in osnovno dobrobit protagonistov svojih štorij. Z nekaj slabo skrivanega sadizma zraven?
Kar je tudi razlog, da ne poznate Reikerjeve resnične usode, čeprav poznate vso StarTrex mitologijo, kar jo je. V nekoliko slabši od standardne ST angleščine, predvsem pa ne ozirajoč se niti malo na vse literarne kodekse, vam jo zdaj na hitro povem.
LaForge: Commander Riker hasn’t arrived at the planet below yet. His arrival can’t be confirmed.
Data: He has been sent by the ship’s teleportation device 50 seconds ago. He is not on the ship as well. Search is on!
Seven hours later:
Picard: After a thorough investigation, I regret to inform you, that Number One has been lost. A major malfunction of the teleportation system and the loss of almost all data about him from all our computer storage has been a consequence of direct Romulan sabotage, directed against him personally. Unfortunately, Romulans were extremely successful at this. Number One, Commander Will Riker is dead.
Picard: Fortunately, we managed to eliminate all the bits of this Rumalanian attack. The ship and the crew are safe again. A considerable retaliation against Romulans will ensue at some later time.
Dr. Crusher: Captain, as you ordered, Riker’s room has been scooped for his DNA. I am glad to inform you, that enough of his hair, saliva remains on his pillow, and so forth have been colected and secured. They will be delivered to geneticists on Rika 7 System when we will be there next time.
Data: Rika 7 geneticists are famous for transforming any complete human DNA into a fertilized egg and then that egg into a newborn baby. A little Willy Riker should be reborn. May I say cloned? All these are in accordance with the contract between Star Fleet Command, Riker, and his parents, when he joined.
Picard: This baby will not be Commander, only Will Riker, himself. In 30 years’ time when he grows up, our Fleet may not be necessary anymore. In that case, Will Riker, Number One, may pursue some other carer path. Or maybe not. Perhaps he will become the most legendary space captain we will ever know. We don’t know that now.
Crusher: May I say, Captain, this will not be him.
Picard: You may, of course, say that, dr. Crusher. But Q, and hence me as well, would profoundly disagree with you, doctor!
Data: The probability of an agreement between Q and Captain Jan-Luc Picard is 0.62 percent!
Picard: Oh, shut up Data! And take the control of the bridge for the next 8 hours. I am retreating to my quarters.
Data: Yes, Sir!
Hja, vidite. Reikerjeva usoda je bila preveč “pocukrana”, da bi to lahko šlo skozi sprotno literarno autocenzuro producentske ekipe. Ampak zdaj veste tole. Človek (ali rastlina ali žival) zares umre šele, ko izgine njegova DNA. Ko izgine zadnji, magari elektronski zapis njegove DNA. Razen seveda, če se ni data ujela v Einstein’s ring kakšne črne luknje. Tam se tekom časa nabere marsikaj. Vendar tega vam ne bom razlagal. Niti, kako nadsvetlobne ladje iz ST skoraj zanesljivo niso mogoče, napredna genetika z Rike 7 pa vsekakor je možna. Niti tega ne bom zdaj razlagal, kar Q in Picard očitno vesta, doktorica Crusher, pa zgleda, ne razume.
