ESTATE SALE
My mother-in-law recently passed and we're finally going through the items that she collected while she worked in the entertainment industry.
She worked at the Paramount Pictures studio lot in Hollywood, California in the mid-1990s and then moved on to other companies in the biz.
Over the years, she obtained an extensive collection of rare Hollywood items, especially from her favorite franchise "Star Trek". Scripts, crew gifts, screen used props and much, much more.
Our loss is your gain. Please bid high and we thank you for your support!!
This item up for bids would make a great addition to any Star Trek fan’s collection. It is the final draft of the script!
"Scorpion Part I"
From the writer's offices of "Star Trek - Voyager” in the Hart building on the Paramount Pictures studio lot in Hollywood.
It is printed on white pages only.
It is NOT a distribution style that was printed on the various color coded pages. It was the version of the script that was kept in the writer's offices to refer to for continuity. That version of a script is always made on white pages only and was often used to actually MAKE the color coded distribution copies from. Back in the day it was cheaper and faster to print one master via the computer's printer and then use the copier to make additional ones to hand out. There are some scripts that are distribution versions that are up for sale. Be sure to check out our other auctions for more!
For more detail about this, please refer to the web site for
Set Hero as they have a detailed description of script handling on productions. (Screen shot also attached in auction details for clarity)
It is in pristine condition as it has been stored in a plastic protection cover bag with a cardboard backing to prevent damage/tears/folds. It was taken out of the bag only to take these auction photos.
This item is the real deal!
It's not a copy of a copy of a copy like a lot of other auctions that you'll run into.
Always kept in a non-smokers house!
NO torn pages!

Story synopsis quoted from the Star Trek web site:
"Realizing they have entered Borg space, the crew attempts to plot a course through a corridor that seems devoid of Borg activity, which they dub "the Northwest Passage." As the Doctor and Kes research methods of fighting off Borg assimilation, Kes is troubled by recurring visions of dead Borg and the destruction of Voyager.
Suddenly, the ship is surrounded by an armada of the cube-like Borg vessels. But then the armada mysteriously retreats, leaving Janeway to wonder, what would make the Borg run? Not long after, Tuvok and Kim discover that the power signatures of the Borg cubes, which they've been tracking, have terminated. Tuvok finds an unknown weapons signature in the Borg debris, which raises another question: what could do this to the invincible Borg?
Sensors pick up odd bio-readings from the outer hull of one of the cubes, and Janeway sends an away team to investigate. On the defunct vessel, the team finds a pile of Borg bodies that look the way Kes saw them in a premonition. When Kim senses an alien presence on the ship, Kes "sees" him screaming in agony. Janeway orders them back and the team is transported just as a fierce lifeform attacks Kim. As Voyager races away, Kes informs Janeway that the alien, communicating telepathically, told her "the weak will perish."
In Sickbay, Kim's body is infested with alien cells that entered his body in the attack. The Doctor reprograms Borg nanoprobes in the hope of negating the damage. Meanwhile, Torres discovers the alien lifeform, known to the Borg as "Species 8472," has taken over the Northwest Passage, and Kes senses an invasion is planned. With their former plan no longer an option, Janeway faces a terrible choice: retreat into the Delta Quadrent and forget about getting home, or confront the Borg and risk assimilation.
After considerable thought, Janeway comes up with a third alternative. She will offer the Borg a way to defeat Species 8472 in exchange for safe passage through Borg space. Janeway is beamed aboard one of the cubes, where she presents her proposal. Suddenly, Species 8472's bio-ships begin firing at the Borg cubes, and at Voyager, which is locked in the grip of a Borg tractor beam . . ."
