You take out your communicator and contact the starship Enterprise.
In Star Trek, you are immediately contacting the right party. But in
reality, here is what you'd have to contend with:
"Thank you for calling the Starship Enterprise. If you are sending
a distress signal, press 1. If you would like to be beamed up, press
2. If you are an omnipotent god-being who is trying to take over
the universe, press 3. If you are a green-skinned alien female
interested in seducing our captain, press 4. If you have a
rotary-dial communicator, please hold and wait for Lieutenant Uhura."
