Maybe - just maybe - if we divert power from the transporters through to the impulse engines, reverse the photon torpedo banks and feed an inertial vector logarithm into the shield generation programming… It won’t delimit our absolute velocity, but it’ll alter our relative velocity through spacetime and buy us some breathing room…!
There’s no way of knowing what effect this will have on the life support systems, but if it doesn’t work we’re all dead anyway!
Actually, mine was the sort of solution that would likely have originated with Spock, rather than Scottie, i.e.:
Kirk: “KHAAANNN!!!”
Spock: “Captain, if I might suggest, blah blah blah theoretical physics blah blah blah Einstein, Feynman, and Gerblax of Lagomorph V, blah blah relativity, blah blah blah ‘like shrimp through a goose’, I believe is the traditional idiom.”
Kirk: “Close enough, Mr. Spock. Mr. Scott, can you do that?”
Scottie: “Och and Hoot Mon, I dinna ken for sartain, Cap’n, but if any ship can handle it, it’s my wee Poopsie here…I mean the Enterprise. Och!”
Kirk: “I’m counting on you, Scottie! The lives of (let’s see)426 crewmen are depending on it! KHAAANNN!!!”

Are you daft, Captain? We’re already doing warp 9.5 and me poor bairns canna take any more.

I wonder if the sling-shot around the room maneuver will work?

Alright ninmas, we get the point, you’ve lost your sanity.
Loving all the Star Trek jokes. :-D

fritzoid, that was awesome! You definitely know your Trek!

At least it has the benefit of never being tried before.

fritzoid, I think you know that ship better than Scotty. Have you been reading his technical journals?
