Orangeshirt - shoots themselves for having to wear such a garish color. Whiteshirt - keeps telling the landing party not to stray from the path of good and law until Captain Kirk gets annoyed and shoots them. Greenshirt - gets shot while protecting a piece of exoflora. Blueshirt - gets shot while trying to mediate a truce between the locals and the landing party. Blackshirt - overthrows the local king in a coup, installs a puppet dictator, then gets shot when the landing party overthrows the dictator. Purpleshirt - gets mistaken for the leader of the landing party and installed as king of the local realm, then gets shot in a coup. Greyshirt - stays in the background giving advice to the captain...

My mother told me Someday I would buy A spaceship with good cores Fly to distant shores.
