You try translating that into its intended meaning (URL) Take your best shot, and I'll tell you what it means later.

It doesn't make any sense in Portuguese, I can tell you that !!

I'm not really a big fan of Star Trek in the sense of episodes and characters, but more so the Star Trek universe in general - the ships, the races, the exploration of space.

I enjoyed most of TNG from the third season onward, as well as most of DS9. I never really got into Voyager that much, but I think I've seen most of the episodes by now. I watch Enterprise and some of the episodes are well done, but I'm really tired of the whole time-travel thing. I wish they'd stick to stories like the Vulcan-Andorian conflict, Romulans, exploration, things like that - those stories seem to fit better with the way I think of Pre-Federation times.

O Avenger em X100, com agitação do punho. O Matador em Curyok IV, ela luzes escurece

Translation #1:
The Avenger in X100, with agitation of the fist. The Killer in Curyok IV, it light becomes gloomy

Translation #2:
The Avenger in X100, with agitation of the fist. The Matador in Curyok IV, she lights darkens

Translation #3:
THE ONE Avail oneself of something well into X100, along ado from the fist. The killer well into Curyok IV , she lights blackens

I prefer the agitation of the fist part to whatever it actually means. Where did you get the other two translations?

Do keep in mind that the message was originally in english, then babelfished into the form I posted.

You'll have to "round off" those results into common english expressions.

I got the other two tranlations from:
http://www.freetranslation.com/
http://www.systransoft.com/
http://www.tranexp.com:2000/InterTran

But one of these was exactly the same as the one from Babelfish, so I ended up with three Versions of the translation.

OK, "rounding off" the translation into common English expressions...
Hmm, this is hard. I'm guessing that "Avenger" and "Matador" are names of ships so they will stay the same, and also "Curyok IV" is the name of a planet. I don't know what "X100" is, but it doesn't seem to translate, so I'll just leave it the way it is, maybe it's also the name of a system or something.

The Avenger in X100 shakes his fist. The Matador in Curyok IV turns off her lights.

...Nah, still doesn't make sense. Besides, if I translate this from English to Portuguese, I don't end up with the original sentences, so it's obviously wrong.

Um,
...The Matador in Curyok IV turns invisible? Turns on her cloaking device?

Oh, I give up...

I'm thinking that "agitation of fist" could be "itchy trigger finger"

Edit: Oh, and the best episodes always have Tribbles in them
