Exactly five years from now. The opening scene will be as follows:
KIRK: Whew! What a five-year mission that was!
BONES: You said it Jim! The things we've seen, the adventures we had.
UHURA: Everything that happened was so original and unexpected! Too bad we can't find the right words to express how original and unexpected our adventures were!
Awkward silence as the crew just stare at each other blankly for 5 seconds.
KIRK: Hey, look at the viewscreen. What's the deal with that alien probe shooting beams into Earth's oceans?
Cue opening credits.
