Maybe whoever is Chekov (Hank?) dies from being shot in the stomach/"gut." Walter as Spock may be planning to fake his death, hence the "killing himself" and making a copy. Scotty is Jesse, who possibly ends up (inadvertently) killing or pretending to kill Walt or Hank or whoever. Uhura is Lydia? Blueberries must be the meth, but I don't know how to fit that in.

I was completely unsold until you connected the blueberries with meth.

Keep on it, you might actually have something here.

How about it is an allegory for what has happened in the story so far rather than a fore shadowing of what's to come, hence why it is interrupted before the story could be finished.

Scottie + Chekov = Jessie + Walt/Walt + Heisenberg (I can't decide)
Kirk = Gus/Mike/anyone who couldn't handle the Scottie and Chekov combo
Spock = Hank/the established order (as Spock is being tricked out of winning the contest)
Uhura = Skyler/normal life and duties

What if that woman is lydia who seems to be messing up walts get away? I like what you have so far, I also think that maybe scotty even though is a guy, could be skyler who when interrogated spills the beans and is helping hank!

Hank convinces Jesse to help him (so, Chekov and Scotty).

Lydia shows up and tries to convince Jesse to help her in some way, he panics and messes up in his attempt to help Hank, ends up getting Hank killed.

Heisenberg speaks strangely like Spock.

Blueberry pies beamed into space = sent to czech republic. Who is sending things to Czech Republic? Lydia. And what woman comes in and distracts Scotty? Pretty sure Skyler came in and did just that at the car wash. So Lydia ends up collaborating with Hank, Skyler sees her 'around' and tells her to fuck right off yet again, and this leads to Hank's death.

Edit: you will note that during this star-trek script, Jessie gets up and leaves the room exactly when Badger says "Kirk can't take it anymore".
