Transcript
[Against a black background, a white spaceship travels toward a space object, identified as a black hole. Two characters speak from within the spaceship.]
Ship officer: Sir, the enemy ship is closing in!
Captain: Helm, head for the black hole.
Captain: On my mark, fire torpedoes, phasers, and all our other weapons at different points around the event horizon.
Captain: Let's see what kind of budget these showrunners have.
