Captain's Log, Stardate 5221.3. On outward course beyond the fringe of our galaxy towards Questar M-17, a source of mysterious radio emissions. Mission, starcharting. [Kirk]
Situation, Mr. Scott? [Kirk]
We've picked up speed, sir, rapidly. I've cut back power, but we continue to gain momentum. [Scott]
I can only describe it as hypergravity, Captain, more powerful than any we've ever encountered. It's dragging the Enterprise toward it. [Spock]
Why aren't our sensors picking it up? Forward scanners, Mr. Sulu. [Kirk]
Captain, that's the source of the radio emissions. [Uhura]
Negative star mass. Spectra analysis, imploded matter, but every reading on it is negative. [Spock]
Captain, we're still gaining speed. [Sulu]
Full reverse thrust. [Kirk]
No good, sir. We're still falling toward it. [Sulu]
Sulu, flank speed ahead. Our only chance is to try to get into orbit around that thing. [Kirk]
If its pull is this strong, Jim, how do we get out of orbit? [McCoy]
Slingshot effect, Mr. Spock? Do we have enough power? [Kirk]
I'll need some time for the computations, Captain. [Spock]
I'm getting that radio sound again, sir. Nine seconds right ascension from galactic plane, dead ahead and closing fast. It's on the view screen now, sir. [Uhura]
Put us alongside, Mr. Sulu. [Kirk]
It's a starship like nothing I've ever seen. The size of it. It's been damaged. I'll bet she was pulled in like we were. [McCoy]
It's coming from that ship, Captain. [Uhura]
Confirmed, Captain, but it isn't possible. That ship is dead. Temperature is absolute zero. There is no thermal reading to support life aboard her, and no energy store to send radio messages. Nothing except a slight magnetic flux reading, which could be normal for the ship's metal. [Spock]
Can you identify that metal, or the design of the ship? [Kirk]
Negative to both, Captain. Unknown alloy, harder and lighter than any registered metal. It is not a recorded galactic starship design. Retro analysis of the ship's spectra dates it as having been in orbit here for slightly more than 300 million years. [Spock]
A civilization that advanced 300 million years ago before life even emerged on Earth. [Kirk]
Barely an instant in eternity, Jim. [McCoy]
Mr. Spock, any indication of that ship's power source? [Kirk]
No, Captain, but this far from a G1 star, it is logical to assume they had some kind of warp drive. [Spock]
We'll board her, Mr. Spock. Scotty, Bones, you'll come with us. We'll need life-support belts. Mr. Sulu, have the Transporter Room stand by. [Kirk]
The hexagonal shape of the windows suggests a similarity to natural insect designs of Earth, the honeycombs of bees. The individual cells are shaped precisely like this. [Spock]
Would you look at this now? This metal, it isn't cast or rolled. It was drawn into filaments and spun. [Scott]
Like a spider spins his web. [Kirk]
Look, every pod, they've all been burst open. [Kirk]
Aye, from the inside, from the looks of them. [Scott]
Must have been some accident to get almost every pod. [McCoy]
Accidents seldom have such system, Dr. McCoy. I believe we must consider the alternative possibility that the crew of this ship destroyed her themselves. [Spock]
Captain's Log. We have beamed aboard the alien ship found orbiting a strange dead star. The Enterprise is recording all data for the log and a full report later. [Kirk]
What do you make of it, Spock? [Kirk]
Captain, it's registering energy, very little, but building. [Spock]
You mean it's functioning after all the millenniums this ship has been here? [Kirk]
The wands are accumulators, receptors to attract energy, motion, sound, light, heat, every kind of energy around them. [Spock]
Gives me the creeps. I feel like Something's watching us. [McCoy]
A physiological symptom of latent primal superstition, the fear of primitive people confronting something unknown to them. [Spock]
Compared to the beings that built this ship, we are primitive people, even you, Mr. Spock. All right, let's keep going. [Kirk]
Enterprise, do you read me? Sulu? [Kirk]
No use, Captain. Some sort of interference has been set up. [Spock]
We can cut our way out of here. [Scott]
No energy registering. Something's drained them. [Kirk]
You mean we're trapped here? No communication, nothing? [McCoy]
This is... Was the control center of the starship. These must be control and navigational instruments. [Kirk]
The source of the interference is here, Captain. It's not part of the normal equipment. It's like something they jury-rigged during an emergency. Something to shield this room.
But shield it from what? [Scott]
Possibly from whatever had come aboard their ship. [Spock]
But nothing, no form of life could survive 300 million years. [Scott]
Quite right, Mr. Scott. No known form of life. [Spock]
Something is trying to get in. The field of interference is reacting against the magnetic flux lines, Captain. [Spock]
It could be a ship's log or a warning. It seems to keep repeating. [Kirk]
A message from 300 million years ago? [McCoy]
It is possible that this much of their technology survived. [Spock]
Danger. Danger. The dead star, we are being drawn to it. Rather than carry this malevolent life form to other worlds, we have decided to destroy our own ship. There is no other answer. If you understand this message, you are protected only for this moment in this room. This thing it wants... [an insectoid alien]
Located them right after that explosion, Mr. Sulu. We're locked on and beaming them aboard. [Kyle]
Good work, Mr. Kyle. I thought we lost them when we were cut off so long. [Sulu]
Piece of cake, sir. Here they come now. Captain, something beamed aboard with you. [Kyle]
That alien commander, sir. The message said that they had to destroy their own ship. [Scott]
Until we learn more about it, Scotty, perhaps we should be ready to do the same. Take two of your men and arm the self-destruct device in the Engineering core. [Kirk]
Aye, sir. [Scott]
Mr. Spock, any change in ship's readings? [Kirk]
We're registering a slightly higher than normal magnetic flux. Not dangerous, but the level isn't constant. It seems to fluctuate, a steady, almost pulsing rhythm. [Spock]
Like the beating of a heart. [Kirk]
Captain, Decks 5 and 6 report shutdown of all life-support systems. They've gone to life-support belts, manual override is not responding. [Uhura]
Trouble in the Engineering core, sir. [Spock]
Bridge to Sickbay. Bones, get down to the Engineering core on the double! Get on those life-support systems now! [Kirk]
The force field of his belt won't hold that weight for long, Jim. [McCoy]
Override systems, Mr. Spock. Open the core hatch. [Kirk]
It's no use, sir. The mechanism is frozen. They've already tried. [McCoy]
Something's jammed the circuits. They're magnetized. [Spock]
All right, get the cutter beams on that hatch. Move! [Kirk]
Bridge to Captain Kirk. Something's activating the ship's phaser banks. They're locking on the alien starship. [Sulu]
Phaser banks were off, Captain. They activated themselves. [Sulu]
And mutual override did not work? [Kirk]
No, sir. [Sulu]
Exactly like the Engineering controls and the life-support systems on Decks 5 and 6. [Spock]
Sir, we cannot get into the core. [Scott]
The cutter beams. [Kirk]
Drained of all energy, sir. [Scott]
Spock, can you rig a low-frequency shield like the one on the alien ship, on our navigation console? [Kirk]
It would have a very small field. [Spock]
Do it. [Kirk]
Jim, you don't think that's going to help us? Whatever that thing is, it survived millennia in a dead hulk. All it has to do here is outlast us and just take over. [McCoy]
No. It must be held by the magnetic force of the dead star, and it needs a starship to break free and a crew to man it. [Kirk]
You are correct, Captain James T. Kirk, and I have the starship I've waited for so long, so terribly long. [Magnetic organism]
It has absorbed the memory banks, Captain, all of them. [Spock]
You will now remove the static shield from the navigation console, Captain James T. Kirk. [Magnetic organism]
You have shut down life-support systems and endangered members of my crew. Restore those systems first. [Kirk]
All nonessential systems are extinguished. You will obey me. [Magnetic organism]
Repair the warp drive controls! Obey me! [Magnetic organism]
Mr. Scott, start repairs. Install the auxiliary controls. [Kirk]
I'm all right, Captain. [Spock]
What are we dealing with, Spock? [Kirk]
High rank probabilities, Captain. It is a magnetic organism without mass, but capable of symbiotic relationship with a host body, a starship, for instance. It is a form of primal energy, and it can utilize the electronic control systems of a starship like the mind of a man uses the neural control systems of the human body. It has become the Enterprise, and we are only life-support organisms in its body like the white corpuscles in human blood, and, Captain, the magnetic flux readings are higher. It is growing stronger, building itself. [Spock]
A slingshot effect to yank us out of orbit. Can you compute it in your mind? If we try to use ship's computers... [Kirk]
The alien will know. I believe I can, Captain. I will need to aid Mr. Scott. [Spock]
The engineer will need aid from my first officer to complete repairs. Is that permitted? Is that permitted? I guess it is. [Kirk]
You will leave this orbit and plot course to galactic coordinates 036.231. [Magnetic organism]
Captain, this symbiont can reproduce itself by mitosis and take over every starship we encounter. It can control computer centers, whole planets. [Spock]
I'm aware of that, Mr. Spock. [Kirk]
Controls activated. [Kirk]
Captain, we're dropping out of orbit! We're falling into the dead sun. [Sulu]
Standby to activate warp drive unit! [Kirk]
Is it gone? [Kirk]
Affirmative. It fled the ship when it thought we would crash into the dead star. [Spock]
Captain's Log, Stardate 5221.8. Final entry. Resuming outward course beyond the farthest star of our galaxy. Mission, starcharting. [Kirk]
(原語台詞なし)
Captain's Log, Stardate 5373.4. We are in orbit around the planet of the time vortex, the focus of all the timelines of our galaxy. Our mission is to assist a team of historians in the investigation of Federation history. [Kirk]
Captain, I was expecting there to be one the historians with you. But a Vulcan... [Scott]
Explain yourself, Mr. Scott. I don't know what's going on, but the first officer of this ship will be treated with respect. [Kirk]
Captain, I assure you no one has ever treated me otherwise. [Thelin]
Sir, we've checked the Starfleet records Commander Thelin asked for. There is no Vulcan named Spock serving with the Starfleet in any capacity. [an officer]
If we didn't change anything while we were in the time vortex, someone else must have. Was the Guardian in use while we were gone? [Kirk]
Yes, but it was nothing unusual. We were scanning recent Vulcan history. [a historian]
Was there any notation on the death of Ambassador Sarek's son? [Kirk]
Yes. The boy is recorded as dying during the maturity test. [an historian]
The kahs-wan, a survival test traditional for young males. [Spock]
でT'Polが言及した。
That was the day my cousin saved my life in the desert when I was attacked by a wild animal. I do not recall clearly. I was very young. He called himself Selek. He was visiting us, but I never saw him after that. [Spock]
Spock, did Selek look like you do now? [Kirk]
I believe so, Captain. And I know what you're thinking. It was I saved myself that other time. [Spock]
But this time, you were in Orion's past with us when the historians had the time vortex replay Vulcan history. You couldn't be in two places at once, so you died as a boy. [Kirk]
This change in the timeline will put you in my place, yet I am not aggrieved. [Thelin]
Andorians are not known for their charity. [Spock]
True. A warrior race has few sympathies, but one we do possess is for family. In your time place, you will live and so will your mother. That is valuable. Live long and prosper in your world, Commander Spock. [Thelin]
And you in yours, Commander Thelin. [Spock]
Personal Log, Stardate 5373.5. Subjective time. I have returned to the past in an attempt to restore the future. I am home and I had almost forgotten its beauty. [Spock]
My apologies, visitor. I regret you were witness to that unfortunate display of emotion on the part on my son. [Sarek]
In the family, all is silence. No more will be said of it. Live long and prosper, Sarek of Vulcan. [Spock]
Peace and long life. You are of my family? [Sarek]
My name is Selek, an humble cousin descended of T'Pel and Sasak. I am journeying to the family shrine to honor our gods. [Spock]
Soon you will undergo your test of adulthood in the desert. To survive for 10 days without food, water or weapon on Vulcan's Forge will demand more of you than anything ever has. To fail once is not a disgrace for others. If you fail, there will be those who will call you a coward all your life. I do not expect you to fail. [Sarek]
で取り上げられた
We cannot get him back to the city to a healer. He is too large to move. [Spock]
Then what? [boy Spock]
You are a Vulcan. What is the logical thing to do? [Spock]
My home is yours if you pass this way again. [Sarek]
I think I shall not. Peace and long life. [Spock]
Live long and prosper, Cousin. [Sarek]
(原語台詞なし)
Captain's Log, Stardate 5371.3. A huge cosmic cloud has been reported moving into the outer fringe of our galaxy. Nothing like it has ever been seen before. Starfleet Command has sent the Enterprise to investigate as we're the only vessel in the vicinity of the phenomenon. Our present position is in the Pallas 14 system which contains Mantilles, the most remote inhabited planet in the entire Federation. [Kirk]
It seems to be irregular shape, some 800,000 kilometers across and about half that in depth. [Spock]
It's immense. Twice the diameters of Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune together! [Arex]
Captain, Alondra has disappeared from navigation scan. [Arex]
The cloud could have come between us and the planet. [Uhura]
No, Lieutenant, the cloud has engulfed Alondra. Captain, the planet seems to be breaking up. Its mass is definitely growing smaller. [Spock]
Spock, is it possible the cloud consumes planets? [Kirk]
It seems a logical assumption, Captain. [Spock]
Captains Log, supplemental. At warp 8, we will intercept the cloud before it reaches the inhabited planet Mantilles. But we are uncertain what we can do to stop a matter-energy cloud which measures thousands of times more than our vessel. [Kirk]
The objects are some form of highly charged gaseous antimatter. [Spock]
Engineering to Captain Kirk. Captain, the power drain on the shields is too heavy to hold. [Scott]
I know Scotty. Scotty, prepare the shields for an antimatter charge. [Kirk]
Aye, sir. Engineering out. [Scott]
Bones, any opinion? [Kirk]
There's some resemblance. I don't know how much we can depend on it. But I'll tell you one thing. We have to get out of this area. Those mists out there are acting something like a macromorphase enzyme. If the shields don't stay up, the hull will be corroded and we'll all be broken down into nice digestible particles. [McCoy]
I am inclined to agree with the Doctor, Captain. The mass of the planet Alondra has been steadily growing smaller since we've been in here. [Spock]
Three and a half hours, Jim. That's not enough. Even if I had the ships available to totally evacuate the planet. [Wesley]
You have time to save some people, Bob. [Kirk]
That won't be long enough either, but I'll have to do. [Wesley]
We've reached the entrance to the central core, Captain. What do we do now? Knock? [McCoy]
Mr. Arex, try to make your way through to the opening on the other side. [Kirk]
Yes, sir. [Arex]
Increase deflector screens to maximum. [Kirk]
Screens to maximum, sir. [Arex]
Captain's Log, Supplemental. The Enterprise has only 15 minutes left before her power is drained and we are left helpless. [Kirk]
If we don't stop the power drain right now, that'll be the end of us. [Scott]
And if we do stop, we'll be drawn into one of the villi and the ship will explode. [Kirk]
Captain, you said that villi are antimatter. If we could get a piece of it, I could put it in the antimatter engine and it would regenerate. We'd have enough power for the engines and the shields to go on maximum again. [Scott]
We need both the matter and the antimatter engines regenerated. [Kirk]
Matter's no problem. We could beam aboard some of the planet chunks out there. And we can cut a piece of the antimatter villi with the tractor beam and transport it aboard like that. [Scott]
Bring it aboard? If the antimatter touches the inside of the ship or any of us, we'll be blown to bits. [Kirk]
I can rig a force field box that'll hold the piece of villi suspended in the center. Then I can take it into the antimatter nacelle, put it into the regenerating chamber and release the force field by remote control. [Scott]
Scotty, you've just given the Enterprise and Mantilles a chance to live. [Kirk]
Captain, this is a living creature. Starfleet regulations... [Spock]
I know the regulations against the killing of intelligent life forms, Mr. Spock. But we don't know this life form is intelligent. And we do know the people on Mantilles are doomed if we don't stop it. If I have to be a judge, I decide in favor of saving Mantilles. [Kirk]
Am I doing the right thing, Bones? Once I said, "Man rose above primitiveness by vowing, 'I will not kill today.'" [Kirk]
But you can't let this thing destroy over 80 million lives, either. [McCoy]
Captain, I have completed the analysis of the target area. Unfortunately, the brain is so vast, our entire offensive armament will not assure its destruction. However, the brain could be completely destroyed if we convert the entire ship to energy, aimed at the brain's cortex, and expend the energy in one mortal strike. [Spock]
That sounds like you're telling us to blow up the ship. [McCoy]
I believe that is what I just said, Doctor. [Spock]
Your figures are specific and absolutely correct, of course? You're sure it will do the job? [Kirk]
Mr. Scott, prepare the self-destruct mechanism in the Engineering core. Computer control will be on the Bridge when it's time to trigger it. [Kirk]
Bob. Is the evacuation proceeding? [Kirk]
As best it can. There was some hysteria at the beginning, but most agreed to let the children be taken off first. But it's only 5,000 children out of 82 million people. [Wesley]
Spock, is there any way we could establish whether or not it is definitely intelligent? Perhaps a Vulcan mind touch. [Kirk]
It would require physical contact, which is impossible, Captain. But I may be able to reach out with my mind. If we focus our sensors onto the cloud's synaptic electrical impulses, the input could be routed to the ship's computer for analysis into thought. [Spock]
Can you do it in time? [Kirk]
It is impossible to calculate, Captain. There are too many unknown factors. I can only try to accomplish the link. No more. [Spock]
Listen to me. I'm going to come into your thoughts. And at the same time, you will come into mine. [Spock]
Bones, he's the cloud. Its thoughts are here. [Kirk]
Captain's Log, Stardate 5483.7. The Enterprise is en route through an unfamiliar sector of space where a series of Earth Federation ships have disappeared mysteriously during the last 150 years. Recent joint discussions with the Klingon and Romulan Empires have revealed that a starship has disappeared in this sector precisely every 27.346 star years. [Kirk]
If my calculations are correct, Captain, we have 20 seconds to go. [Spock]
Twenty seconds to what? That's what worries me. Lieutenant Uhura, place the ship on Yellow alert. [Kirk]
Captain, we are being probed. [Spock]
From where? Can you trace it? [Kirk]
The signal is coming from a star system 20 light-year away. [Spock]
Can you identify it? [Kirk]
It is the Taurean system. A small star at the extreme edge of this sector. [Spock]
That's a powerful signal to reach here from that great a distance. [Kirk]
It seems to be calling us. [Scott]
Strange. Yes, I get the same feeling myself. [Kirk]
It does resemble a summons. [Spock]
I find no resemblance to a summons, Captain. [Uhura]
Option noted. Set a course for the Taurean system, Lieutenant Arex. Warp factor 7. [Kirk]
Sickbay, Dr. McCoy. Please, report to the bridge. [Uhura]
Magnolias in blossom. Beautiful. [McCoy]
Ship's Log, Stardate 5483.8. Engineering Officer Scott in command. We are in orbit around Planet Two in the Taurean system. Probes and sensors indicate there was once a vast civilization here. Lovely. Lovely. However, life readings are sparse and concentrated. Captain Kirk is beaming down with a scouting party in investigate. [Scott]
The form is humanoid, but there are many internal differences. Their bodies appear to function on an unusual psychokinesis level. [Spock]
First time I ever admired a body function. [McCoy]
How do you know our names? [Kirk]
The Opto-aud revealed you to us. [Theela]
Tonal control. Fascinating. [Spock]
The opto-aud will reveal what ever is asked, Mr. Spock. We are grateful that you heard the signal, Captain. [Theela]
The signal? A distress call, wasn't it? [Kirk]
Captain's Log, Stardate 5483.9. The beauty of this place is unequaled. It's the answer to all of man's dreams. Exquisite in every way. We're here to investigate... To investigate... The woman radiate delight. [Kirk]
There are the most beautiful women in the galaxy. But where the men? [McCoy]
They occupy another compound. [Theela]
That makes sense. [Kirk]
Probably that nectar. It's potent as Saurian brandy. [McCoy]
Results of every scan run by the women science teams. If there is an answer, it's here. Summation of medical, biological, astrophysical scans. [Chapel]
Working. Probe directed at ship from planet surface is severely enervating to humanoid males. Exposure causes increasing weakness. Possibly to point of death. [Computer]
Lieutenant Uhura to Security Officer Davison. I want an all-woman security team on every transporter immediately. No one is to transport down to the planet unless it is on my order. [Uhura]
The equipment belonging to the men of the Enterprise, where is it? [Spock]
Ship's Log, supplemental. Lieutenant Uhura commanding. We have assembled an all-female rescue party in accordance with Mr. Spock's request. [Uhura]
Lieutenant Uhura of the Starship Enterprise. We're here to locate Captain Kirk. [Uhura]
Return to your ship. You are not wanted here. [Theela]
Until we find Captain Kirk, we will not leave. Phasers on stun. Fire! [Uhura]
Search the temple. Parties of two. [Uhura]

Captain's Log, Stardate 5392.4.
The Enterprise has been assigned to escort two robot grain ships to Sherman's Planet, which has been struck by crop failures and famine. This shipment of seed grain, quintotriticale, is necessary to the survival of the colonists. We are breaking course to Sherman's Planet to investigate what appears to be a Klingon battle cruiser pursuing some kind of smaller ship. Observation may confirm a rumor that the Klingons have a new weapon, type so far unknown. [Kirk]
で登場した"quadrotriticale"の改良版なんだろうな。追記: SNW"A QUALITY OF MERCY"(邦題:情けの価値)で、これと同様のロボット船が登場した。明らかに本エピソードからの引用だろう。
Klingon battle cruiser, identify yourself.
Ahead, warp factor 6.
Scotty, lock the transporter
on that small vessel.
We're going to rescue that pilot.
[Kirk]
Open hailing frequencies.
Klingon battle cruiser, identify yourself. You are violating Federation space. Identify yourself. Stop firing on scout ship. Arm all phasers.Deflector shields up. [Kirk]
They got him.
- Scotty, have you got that pilot yet?
[Kirk]
- I don't know, sir.
That Klingon...
That blast decalibrated
the integration parameters.
[Scott]
The new weapon.
Spock?
[Kirk]
Some kind of field effect, Captain.
It will hit us in precisely four seconds.
It produces a most remarkable...
Disruption.
[Spock]
Captain, we have been hit
by a kind of projected stasis field.
Our matter-antimatter generators
are disabled.
We are paralyzed.
[Spock]
Fire phasers.
[Kirk]
The phasers don't work, sir.
[Sulu]
The photon torpedoes
will not respond, either.
The stasis field disables all
higher-order field and warp functions.
[Spock]
Well, we could always throw rocks.
[Uhura]
This new Klingon weapon
must be one of surprising power
if it can immobilize a starship.
The energy drain on the Klingon ship
would be enormous.
[Spock]
- Scotty, did you get that pilot?
[Kirk]
- I got him in the beam, sir,
but I can't integrate him.
The system's been discoordinated.
[Scott]
Captain Kirk.
[Koloth]
Release my ship.
[Kirk]
I'd be delighted to, Captain Kirk,
if you will turn over the pilot
of the little ship.
[Koloth]
That ship was a Federation-built craft.
The pilot is under our protection.
[Kirk]
He has committed ecological sabotage.
If I have to take him by force, I will.
[Koloth]
The first Klingon to step aboard
this ship will be the last Klingon.
Full-security alert, Mr. Spock.
[Kirk]
I'm afraid, Captain Kirk,
you'll find your phasers no longer work,
nor any of your weapons.
Mr. Spock, I'm losing contact
with our robot ships.
They're not held by the stasis field
and they're moving out of range.
[Uhura]
They still have power?
We still control them? Bring them back, Mr. Sulu. Have them ram the Klingon ship. [Kirk]
Captain, you can't afford
to lose that grain.
[Spock]
I can afford even less
to lose the Enterprise. [Kirk]
Captain Koloth.
I'm going to give you one last chance
to release the Enterprise. [Kirk]
You're going to give me one chance?
It won't work, Captain Kirk.
[Koloth]
It will work.
Or he'd still be gloating.
[Kirk]
I think we know that man.
[Kirk]
Cyrano Jones.
And he's got tribbles with him.
Tribbles.
[Scott]
Captain's Log, supplemental.
Our rescue effort has given us some
knowledge of the new Klingon weapon
and the presence of Cyrano Jones,
intergalactic trader
[Kirk]
You know the law about transporting
animals proven harmful.
[Kirk]
Captain, these are safe tribbles.
[Jones]
There's no such thing as a safe tribble.
[McCoy]
A safe tribble would be
a contradiction in terms.
Tribbles are well known
for their proclivities in multiplication.
[Spock]
And they breed fast, too.
And that's why these tribbles are safe.
- They don't reproduce.
[Jones]
- They don't reproduce.
[McCoy]
I've had them genetically engineered
for compatibility
with humanoid ecologies.
See how friendly and lovable they are?
And not a baby in the bunch.
They're great pets and profitable, too.
[Jones]
Jones, how did you get away
from Space Station K-7?
You were supposed to clean up
all the tribbles there.
[Kirk]
Oh, well, I managed a short parole.
I found some help.
This is a tribble predator.
It's called a glommer.
[Jones]
You sold tribbles on a Klingon planet?
Well, I didn't know
it was a Klingon planet.
Tribbles don't like Klingons.
That should have given you some clue.
[Kirk]
According to our computer files, Jones,
you are in violation
of three Federation mandates
and 47 local ones.
You're confined
until we complete our mission.
Then we'll turn you over
to the proper authorities.
[Kirk]
Photon torpedoes.
Fire one.
[Kirk]
They disabled the robot ship.
[Sulu]
Scotty, put a tractor beam on it.
We'll take it in tow.
[Kirk]
Captain, that could be exactly
what they want us to do.
Tow the robot
and limit our available power.
We're carrying the extra mass
of the first ship's cargo,
and now we have
the second one in tow.
That requires a great deal of power
we won't be able to use in battle.
[Spock]
- That seems logical.
[Kirk]
Captain Kirk, what can I do for you?
Some Spican flame gems perhaps?
[Jones]
Your tribbles are all over my ship.
My security men can't find them all.
[Kirk]
You need better security men, Captain.
[Jones]
Mr. Jones,
you are in enough trouble already.
[Kirk]
Captain, a harmless, little tribble.
- What can they hurt?
[Jones]
- Harmless, maybe.
Little?
In any case,
they're eating the quintotriticale.
[Kirk]
- The what?
[Jones]
- The wheat!
[Kirk]
They're hungry, Captain.
[Jones]
So are the people on Sherman's Planet.
A little tribble doesn't eat much,
a big tribble does.
And these are growing.
Jones, is this the ecological sabotage
the Klingons are so mad about?
[Kirk]
Mr. Sulu, release the robot ship.
We'll swing back and pick it up later.
Deflector shields up.
Stand by photon torpedoes.
And all noncombatants off the Bridge.
[Kirk]
Ready photon torpedoes.
- Fire one.
[Kirk]
- One fired.
[Sulu]
Jones' genetic engineering
Jones' genetic engineering was very slipshod, Jim. He may have kept the tribbles from reproducing, but he didn't slow down their metabolism. You see, they're not just giant tribbles, they're colonies. [McCoy]
Captain's Log, Stardate 5143.3. While patrolling the edge of the Romulan Neutral Zone, the Enterprise has changed course to assist a one-man vessel which has fallen victim to a meteor swarm. Sensors indicate the occupant is still alive. [Kirk]
I'm especially honored to meet you, Mr. Winston. My daughter was going to school on Cerberus about 10 years ago when the crop failure occurred. The entire population would've starved, Jim, if Winston here hadn't used his personal fortune to bring in enough food and goods to carry them through the crisis. [McCoy]
One of the many stories I've heard about you, Mr. Winston. It's an honor for all of us to have you aboard. [Kirk]
There is one person aboard who should be especially happy to learn you are alive, Mr. Winston. Lieutenant Anne Nored of our security detail. [Spock]
My fiancee. Anne's aboard this starship? [Winston]
We will notify her as soon as we've verified your credentials, Mr. Winston. If you have your identity tapes with you... [Spock]
Spock! Of all the cold-blooded, inhospitable requests I've ever heard! [McCoy]
The Enterprise has rescued a living legend, the foremost space trader of our time. Carter Winston has acquired a dozen fortunes only to use his wealth time and again to assist Federation colonies in times of need or disaster. [Kirk]
Anne, I'm changed. First there was surgery, skin graft, regrowth of bone. After they put me together, they assigned one of their people to me, and he nursed me back to health. [Winston]
But you said you've changed. How? I don't see any change. [Nored]
It's over between us, Anne. I'm sorry, I can't explain why but I can't marry you, ever. [Winston]
I've been down to examine my ship. They stowed it in the shuttlebay. [Winston]
Yes, I'm afraid it's pretty badly damaged. It's hardly worth salvaging right now. I've had our engineering officer, Mr. Scott, examine it and make a report. It's here somewhere. He doesn't think there's anything left in your ship except scrap value. [Kirk]
Weren't you going to your cabin, sir? [Sulu]
Mr. Sulu, lay in a direct course for Rator III. [Kirk]
Through the Romulan Neutral Zone, sir? [Sulu]
That was the order, helmsman. [Kirk]
But, sir, if we're caught there, the Romulans can confiscate the ship. The treaty... [Sulu]
I know the terms of the treaty, Mr. Sulu, and I believe you heard my order. [Kirk]
Captain, the extreme long-range sensors show something in the Zone. At this distance, I cannot determine precisely what it is. It could be a trading vessel like Winston's. But it does not seem prudent to take the risk of trespass into the Zone. [Spock]
Mr. Spock, I've spoken to Winston on this at some length. He has assured me it is absolutely vital to get to Rator III in the shortest possible time. The survival of the entire planetary population may depend on it. [Kirk]
An admirable mission, Captain, but if we endanger our ship... [Spock]
I wouldn't have ordered it if I didn't feel it safe, Spock. Winston says his sensors detected no Romulans when he came through the Zone last week. I'm satisfied he's telling the truth, and his word is considered good. Isn't it? [Kirk]
That has been his reputation. [Spock]
Course laid in, sir. [Sulu]
Execute. [Kirk]
Ship's Log, Stardate 5148.7. First Officer Spock recording. The Captain's course change has taken us deep into the Romulan Neutral Zone. [Spock]
I'll take the conn, Mr. Spock. [Kirk]
Is something wrong, Captain? [Spock]
I'm not sure. I went down to my quarters to dictate the accident report, and I seem to have fallen asleep. I've never done that before. [Kirk]
Perhaps you needed the rest. We are on course through the Neutral Zone, sir. [Spock]
The Neutral Zone? We have no authorization to enter it. Did you order a course change, Spock? [Kirk]
No, sir. You did. [Spock]
Ridiculous. No captain of the Starfleet would do that unless it was a matter of life and death. [Kirk]
I believe that was the reason you gave, Captain. [Spock]
That's enough, Spock. Mr. Scott, take the conn. Spock. Mr. Sulu, plot a course to take the Enterprise out of the Neutral Zone at warp 8. Lieutenant M'Ress, put the ship on yellow alert. Mr. Spock, I don't remember giving those orders. I left the Bridge, went to my quarters and fell asleep. That's all. [Kirk]
Perhaps Dr. McCoy should examine you, Captain. [Spock]
Definitely. I've become subject to blackouts, I'm a possible danger to the safety of the ship. I can't allow that. [Kirk]
Oh, Winston. I was just finishing the tests I ran on you. I don't think...
Can I help you? [McCoy]
I don't know, Doctor. I just thought... Well, I have to talk to someone. [Norad]
Now, let me guess. It's you and Carter Winston. He told me a little about it when I examined him. [McCoy]
Doctor, what do I do? I still love him. [Norad]
Yes, but, my dear, if he doesn't want you and he has asked you to forget him, then I suggest you take that as an honest concern for you and do it. Forget Winston. [McCoy]
What can I do for you, Captain? [McCoy]
I want a complete medical examination, Bones. Something's just happened... [Kirk]
I'm afraid I'll have to make it later today, Captain. I have too many tests to process right now. [McCoy]
Carter Winston's? [Spock]
That one's done. Tested out normal. [McCoy]
Are you sure there is no possibility you made an error? [Spock]
Well, there's always that possibility. I'll go over them again if you like. [McCoy]
No, that won't be necessary. I'll come by later for that examination. Let's go, Spock. [Kirk]
A Vendorian, Doctor. Their planet is quarantined, and few people ever do see them. Their ability to rearrange their molecular structure into anything with the same general size and mass and their practice of deceit as a way of life puts them off limits. [Spock]
Mr. Spock, get a security team down here on the double. [Kirk]
Spock to Bridge. Put me on ship's audio. All security teams, intruder alert. Repeat, intruder alert. The intruder is a Vendorian, capable of assuming any shape or identity. [Spock]
Anne, what are you doing? [Winston]
My job. It isn't hard to guess who the intruder is. You're the only stranger aboard, Carter. [Norad]
Lieutenant Nored, you could've stopped him. Why didn't you fire? [Kirk]
I... I couldn't. I knew he had to be the intruder, Captain, but I couldn't harm the image of the man I loved. [Norad]
Lieutenant, he is not the man you loved. Carter Winston is dead. [Kirk]
Captain's Log, supplemental. Due to interference by the alien Vendorian aboard, the Enterprise has been detected violating the Romulan Neutral Zone. By the terms of our treaty, the Romulans have a legal right to seize and impound the Enterprise. To complicate matters, we have not been able to apprehend the Vendorian responsible for putting us in this position. [Kirk]
You appear to have a propensity for trespassing in the Neutral Zone, Captain Kirk. [a Romulan officer]
It was not deliberate, I assure you. [Kirk]
It never is. But the rules of the treaty are clear. To contravene them would mean war. You will surrender your ship, Captain. We will release you and your crew at the nearest outpost that guards the Neutral Zone. [a Romulan officer]
I'd like a few minutes to inform my crew. [Kirk]
Very well. Five minutes, no more. [a Romulan officer]
The Romulans were expecting us, Mr. Spock. That wreck of Winston's ship was the bait to get a Romulan spy onboard. And what better spy than a Vendorian who can change shape at will? When I went down to my cabin, he must have put me out long enough for him to return to the Bridge and order the course change. [Kirk]
It would seem so. [Spock]
Open a hailing frequency, Lieutenant M'Ress. [Kirk]
Hailing frequency open, sir. They're waiting for us. [M'Ress]
I assume you are now ready to turn your ship over to us, Captain. [a Romulan officer]
Wrong assumption, Commander. [Kirk]
Captain, you are outnumbered, outgunned and in the wrong. I admire your courage, but I... [a Romulan officer]
I have no choice, Commander. You lured me here in direct violation of the treaty. [Kirk]
Lured, Captain? How could we lure a Starfleet vessel into the Neutral Zone? [a Romulan officer]
Through the use of a spy using the human form of Carter Winston.
A spy? Come now, Captain. Your imagination is creative but obviously out of control.
You used a Vendorian, which, I might add, is also a violation of the treaty. [Kirk]
Captain, our deflector shields are coming down. [Sulu]
Bridge to Engineering. Scotty, what's happened to the shields? [Kirk]
How long will it take to fix? [Kirk]
Two hours. At least. [Scott]
You're not getting past me this time. I've learned my lesson. [Norad]
Anne, this is what I am. Can you love this? You see why I told you it would be best to forget me? [Winston]
But unfortunately, I can't. [Kirk]
Direct hit, Captain. Damage to the secondary propulsion system. The commander has apparently decided to fight. [Spock]
Captain Kirk, all our main batteries are trained on you. To resist would be useless and wasteful of lives. Do you surrender?
Without deflectors, we're just a clay pigeon for them. [Kirk]
Practicality does suggest capitulation, Captain. [Spock]
Captain, the deflector shields are coming up again. [Sulu]
That's only one shield. [Kirk]
Yes, sir. But it is between us and the Romulans. [Sulu]
Second vessel power supply out. Crew unharmed. They should be able to repair the ship in a few days. [Spock]
Good work, Mr. Scott. That deflector shield went up just in time. [Kirk]
But, sir, I haven't finished repairing the shield. I told you it'll take hours, and it will. [Scott]
Interesting. [Spock]
Then what was... Winston. [Kirk]
It is not outside the realm of probability. If he could rearrange his own atoms to become an examination table, one would have to assume he could become a deflector shield. [Spock]
In the meantime, I'm afraid I'll have to keep you under guard. I think we've had enough of that little trick. [Kirk]
Captain, could you assign me that duty? [Norad]
But you've seen me. You know what I am. [Winston]
Form doesn't seem terribly important to me. As Carter Winston or even just part of him, there's a better life for you than anything the Romulans might offer. Can we talk about that? [Norad]
You caught him. [McCoy]
Acute observation, Doctor. [Spock]
I'm glad to see him under guard, Jim. If he'd turned into a second Spock, it would've been too much to take. [McCoy]
Perhaps. But then two Dr. McCoys just might bring the level of medical efficiency on this ship up to acceptable levels. [Spock]
(原語台詞なし)
Captain's Log, Stardate 5554.4. The Enterprise has been ordered to survey a new planet recently discovered at the periphery of the galaxy. [Kirk]
The probe originates in this wall, as does an incredibly powerful force field. It appears to be an amalgam of devices designed to defend and protect the city and this building in particular. [Spock]
What happened to him? [Kirk]
He was bitten by the Retlaw plant. It is deadly only if unattended. [Agmar]
I am Dr. Stavos Keniclius 5. Welcome to Phylos, Captain Kirk. Return to your ship. I am sorry, Captain. You will leave now or suffer the consequences. [Keniclius]
Kirk to Enterprise.Beam us up, Scotty. [Kirk]
One of my great-great-granddaddies, way back, had the finest garden in the South. Had to scramble around a little bit to find the materials, but I've got his recipe brewing now. [McCoy]
Working. From Earth history file. Stavos Keniclius. Earth scientist, period, Eugenics Wars. Planned to clone perfect specimen prototype into master race. Concept considered anti-humanistic. Banned from community. Disappeared. No evidence of death. No further data. [Computer]
Scotty, as soon as we beam down, I want you to leave orbit. If they think we've gone, they won't be scanning the surface. Give us 30 minutes. [Scott]
Aye, sir, but I don't like it. [Scott]
Neither do I, but it appears to be necessary. Energize. [Kirk]
He's dying. Something's happened to his brain. Electrical activity decreasing. [McCoy]
It's too late, Captain Kirk! In a few minutes, your friend will be gone. But as Keniclius 1 lives on in each of his clones, so will Mr. Spock. Behold, gentlemen, the dawning of a new era, the salvation of a galaxy! Spock two. [Keniclius]
Well, how about that. Great-granddaddy's weed spray still works. [McCoy]
All this has been a waste, Keniclius. There's been peace in the Federation for over 100 years. [Kirk]
That is a lie. What about the Eugenics Wars? The galactic wars? What of the depredations of the Romulans, the Klingons and the Kzinti? An army of Spock duplicates is necessary to subdue them. [Keniclius]
に登場した“クーガン”のこと。これはMUD独自訳で、一般的には“クジン人”と訳されているらしい(Wikipedia参照)。
If you have Spock's mind, you'll know the Vulcan symbol called the IDIC. [Kirk]
Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. Symbolizing the elements that create truth and beauty. [Spock 2]
Could an army of Spocks impose peace and Phylosican philosophy on any other beings in defiance of the IDIC concept? [Kirk]
I do not believe so. [Spock 2]
By the way, Mr. Sulu, any change of teaching me that body throw? Could come in handy sometime. [Kirk]
I don't know, sir. It isn't just physical, you know. You have to be inscrutable. [Sulu]
Inscrutable? Sulu, you're the most scrutable man I know. [Kirk]
Captain's Log, Stardate 1254.4. For years scientists have theorized that if our galaxy was created from a great explosion, then the center of the galaxy might still be creating new matter. The Enterprise is now on a science mission to investigate. [Kirk]
It's an awesome thought that we may actually witness matter being created. [Kirk]
If we do, Captain, we may also encounter forces and phenomena beyond our understanding. [Spock]
The creation point. [Kirk]
An extraordinary phenomenon, Captain. [Spock]
Reverse power. Hold our position. Deflector screens on. [Kirk]
Deflectors up. Sir, it's taking considerable power to hold position. [Sulu]
Charting scanners on, Captain. Beginning science survey. [Spock]
Captain, that thing's pulling us in. I'm up to warp 6. [Sulu]
Scanners indicate it's some form of matter-energy whirlwind, Captain. [Spock]
Emergency reverse power. [Kirk]
Captain, I don't know how much more emergency power we can take before we start to break up. [Scott]
There may be only one choice. We must hope this whirlwind is like its atmospheric counterparts, that there is calm at its center. [Spock]
An incredible experience, Captain. I find this scientifically fascinating. [Spock]
At least I have the good sense to be scared, Jim. What now? [McCoy]
Where are we? [Uhura]
I'm afraid our navigational coordinates mean very little here, Lieutenant. My readings indicate we are not in time and space as we understand it. Doctor, these readings may interest you. [Spock]
Captain, the subspace radio, it's dead. [Uhura]
Even the ship's chronometers have stopped. [McCoy]
Captain, there's no reason for it, but the engines are fading out. [Scott]
Apparently, the natural laws of our universe don't operate here, Captain. [Spock]
Ship's life support systems fading. Jim, we need oxygen. [McCoy]
Humans. Lovely primitive humans. Can't you do anything right? [Lucien]
Please. [Kirk]
Of course, friend. Of course. Rhadamanthus! Everything is working, my friends. [Lucien]
It cannot. It is not logical. [Spock]
Logic? Whose logic, my elfin friend? [Lucien]
Lucien, do something. [Kirk]
Very well, Captain. I'd forgotten how much bodily integrity means to you humans. This isn't easy, you know, holding us together like this. It's not even natural. [Lucien]
Being in one piece is very natural where we come from. [McCoy]
I find this all quite absorbing, Doctor. [Spock]
Probably because you're not very natural to begin with, Spock. [McCoy]
Look, Lucien, or whatever you want to call yourself, I want to know why you brought us here. [Kirk]
Children will play. [Lucien]
Is this better, my friends? I've translated my world into symbols your minds can understand. Welcome, my friends, to Megas-Tu. [Lucien]
And just exactly what is Megas-Tu? [Kirk]
A world, Captain James Kirk, that operates by rules quite different from those in your universe. Our universe operates by what you superstitiously call magic. [Lucien]
I know this is ju st my imagination but... [McCoy]
It is real, Doctor. Beautiful? No. But all our women are as young and beautiful as they want to be. So as to ensnare the man of her dreams, she needs an edge. [Lucien]
A love philter? [Kirk]
Never settle for anything less. Do you need a room, a stable, a castle? Stop in at your friendly sorcerer-contractor. Let him do the work. [Lucien]
Of course. Our Federation scientists were more correct than they realized. In order to function, the galactic creation point must extend through space, time, into another dimension where the logic of things is totally different. [Spock]
It took magic to get your vessel working again. Magic you, my friends, don't know how to work. But then you never did know, did you? [Lucien]
Lucien, you keep calling us friends, implying that you know us. How? [Kirk]
Oh, Captain, Captain, to feign such ignorance to me. Very well. Look. Megas-Tu may seem to you a chaotic world, but its people are calm, peaceful, contemplative, each a specialist in his own kind of magic. There are no rivals anywhere in our universe, Captain Kirk. No other life forms at all. Millennia ago, in our search for companionship, we Megans passed through the point between dimensions, and eventually, we found ourselves on your world, Earth. Wherever we went, we became advisors to mankind. To help your ancestors, we drew on the power left behind in our own universe and made it work in your world. But eventually, we had to leave. I didn't want to, my friends. How I fought! I was the generalist amid all the specialists. The troublemaker, they said. But I'd always loved the people of Earth. Those were the days. But now you've come to me, and I'm so very glad. [Lucien]
What did he mean, we're not to give ourselves away? Can't they detect the ship up here? [McCoy]
No, unless they have scanners. See. There. It's like a cloud of some kind. It's been between us and the planet since you vanished. [Scott]
If Lucien put it there... [Kirk]
If Lucien put it there, Captain, the questions become, "Why is he hiding us?" And, "What is our danger if discovered by the rest of his people?" [Spock]
Captain's Log, supplemental. In this incredible universe, it appears to be a part of the natural laws that belief is as potent a force as energy and matter are in our own. [Kirk]
So, the people of Earth would spread their evil to our home? We are ready for human perfidy this time. This time, it is the humans who shall suffer, the humans, and you, Lucien, who shall pay! [the prosecutor]
Keep calm. [Kirk]
We are gathered here today, good citizens, to see justice done. You are the judges. These are the defendants, as representatives of the vilest species in all the universe, treacherous humanity, and those who would aid them. As a specialist in the ethics of magic, I have been appointed prosecutor here. [the prosecutor]
The records of the Enterprise are open for your inspection. All the history of Earth and the Federation is at your disposal. Look at General Order #1, "No starship may interfere with the normal development of any alien life or society." Compare that with the Earth you once knew. [Kirk]
Enough! Here is your history. Here are your records. Citizens, you have heard, you have read. How do you vote? According to your records, your entry here was an accident unlikely to be duplicated. With that in mind, plus all you have said, it seems to us that Megas-Tu is safe. But Lucien must be punished. For his betrayal of his people, he shall be confined in limbo for all eternity, to live with only himself. [the prosecutor]
No. To isolate someone like Lucien, that's the same as sentencing him to death. [Kirk]
Do you realize who you defend? He has told you his name is Lucien. Would you defend him still if you knew he had another name, too? The Rollicker. The Tempter. Lucifer. [the prosecutor]
We're not interested in legend. He's a living being, an intelligent life form. That's all we have to know about him. We will not join in harming him. [Kirk]
You cannot beat an entire planet, Captain Kirk. There is no way you can win. [the prosecutor]
I have to. Or you'll become as bad as the Earthmen you fear. You're acting out of terror, instead of out of thought or respect. [Kirk]
You were prepared to die for Lucien, a being who is alien to you? [the prosecutor]
As I was sure you would, friend Kirk. I told them their fears were groundless. [Lucian]
I don't understand. [Kirk]
This last was a test of your intentions, Captain. We had to be certain your records were no ruse. We have been tricked before much to our pain and sorrow. [the prosecutor]
I see. The Megans had to have proof that mankind had grown and learned wisdom since they last saw Earth. Your compassion was that proof, Captain. [Spock]
If your people should visit us now, we shall do our best to welcome them. The banishment of fear will help us all. [the prosecutor]
A favorite old Earth custom of mine, Asmodeus. A toast to a new friendship. [Lucien]
No more magic for us, Jim. It's all back there. You think Lucien really was the demon some men call Lucifer? [McCoy]
Does it really matter, Bones? [Kirk]
It just might, Captain. If he was, this would be the second time Lucifer was cast out, and, thanks to you, the first time he was saved. [Spock]
Captain's Log, Stardate 52.2. We have just entered the Delta Triangle, a vast, uninhabited sector of our galaxy in which a high number of mysterious disappearances of starships have been recorded since ancient times. The Enterprise has been assigned the mission of surveying this area, and, if possible, determining the cause of these disappearances. [Kirk]
Mr. Spock, did you see what I think I just saw? [Kirk]
Yes, Captain. I can offer none at this time. However, the Klingon ship was not destroyed by our phaser fire. Its shields clearly deflected the phasers. Nor was its disappearance the type that would have been affected if it were using its cloaking device. [Spock]
You have been identified as the Starship Enterprise. Captain James T. Kirk, last known to be in command. [Kuri]
Your information is correct. This is Captain Kirk. [Kirk]
I am Commander Kuri of the Klingon Imperial Fleet. We have witnessed the destruction of our sister ship, the Klothos, and hold you responsible. Surrender immediately, or we will destroy you. [Kuri]
What fools! Thinking they can escape. Accelerate to maximum and prepare to open fire. [Kuri]
It's like a vast Sargasso Sea. A graveyard of ships from every civilization imaginable. [Kirk]
Where are we, sir? [Uhura]
At another place in time, I think. If we check closely, I believe we'll find many of those ships are the ones designated as lost in the Delta Triangle. [Kirk]
An alternate universe? [Uhura]
Something corresponding to that. The records say every ship lost here vanished without a trace. Most logged communication loss and disorientation just before disappearance. My guess was they entered a window to some other continuum. Comments, Spock? [Kirk]
Your logic is excellent, Captain. There is a random factor to the ship disappearances. Perhaps the touching of the two time continuums is erratic. In any event, the window stayed open long enough for us to follow the Klothos in. [Spock]
Captain's Log, supplemental. First Officer Spock reporting. We appear to be in an alternate universe. Position, undetermined. Captain Kirk has been transported from the ship by an unknown power. His present location also is undetermined. [Spock]
That will not be needed here, Commander Kor. [Xerius]
Are we in an alternate universe? [Kirk]
It is more aptly described as a pocket in the garment of time. [Devna]
Under our law, you, as ship captains, are responsible for the behavior of your crews. Should a crew member, with or without your knowledge, engage in any form of violence whatsoever, you will suffer the ultimate penalty. Total immobilization of your ship for a century. [Devna]
A century? We'd all be dead by the end of it. [Kor]
No, Commander Kor. This small universe of ours is a curious trap. Time passes here, but very slowly. A century means nothing to us. Our Council appears young. Yet all are centuries old. [Xerius]
We are getting out. [Kirk]
Then we'd better do it pretty quick, Captain. [Scott]
If we find an answer, it will still take time. [Spock]
That's just what we haven't got. It's our dilithium crystals, sir. They're deteriorating rapidly. [Scott]
Very well, what would you think if the Enterprise suddenly disintegrated after our dual-ship had pierced the time continuum? [Kor]
I would think my commander had maneuvered brilliantly. [Kaz]
And it can be arranged, practically speaking? [Kor]
It implies a rather high risk factor, given the time invoked and Kirk's highly suspicious nature. But I believe it can be arranged. [Kaz]
Very good, Kaz. I will leave it to you to attend to the details of the Enterprise's destruction. [Kor]
Gentlemen, I am sure there has been a mistake. Where are you suppose to be working? [Spock]
Engineering, Deck 5. [a Klingon]
First Officer's Log, Stardate 4187.3. The Enterprise shuttlecraft Copernicus is en route to Starbase 25 with an important cargo. A Slaver stasis box discovered by archaeologists on the planet Kzin. These stasis boxes are the most remarkable thing the Slavers ever produced. Time stands still inside a stasis box. A billion years means nothing in there. [Spock]
I've studied the history of the Slaver Empire, but it's sketchy. We know they were masters of all the intelligent beings in this galaxy a billion years ago. Until one race revolted. Are the stasis boxes the only source of information we have? [Uhura]
Mr. Sulu! What is our position? [Spock]
Passing Beta Lyrae, sir. 142 degrees north-east of galactic plane. [Sulu]
I must take full responsibility for this event. Instead of being warned by the highly unlikely coincidence of a second stasis box, I allowed its possible value to influence my judgement. The Kzinti now possess our stasis box. Its contents will determine how much damage my error has done the Federation and its people. [Spock]
That isn't good. Kzinti aren't supposed to have phasers, are they? [Sulu]
The Treaty of Sirius does not permit them any weapons at all, beyond police vessels. Obviously, the treaty has been broken. [Spock]
A police web. We won't be able to move unless we can turn it off somehow. [Sulu]
The lean, bedraggled one is a reader of minds. [Spock]
I've heard all Kzinti telepaths are unhappy neurotics. He fits the description. [Uhura]
There is no sure way to guard our thoughts from him. Mr. Sulu, he is not likely to deal with me or Lieutenant Uhura. She and I are inferior beings to them. But the Kzinti are meat eaters. If you sense him reading your mind, think of eating a raw vegetable. [Spock]
Yes, sir. Maybe I can goad them into reading their purpose. [Sulu]
Lieutenant Uhura. This may be crucial. In the presence of the Kzinti, do not say anything, do not do anything starling. Try to look harmless. [Spock]
Any special reasons? [Uhura]
Are you forgetting Kzinti females are dumb animals? In an emergency, the Kzinti may forget a human female is an intelligent creature. [Spock]
The Kzinti fought four wars with humankind and lost all of them. The last one was 200 years ago, and you haven't learned a thing since. [Sulu]
The records will show the Traitor's Claw is a stolen police ship. If we are captured, the Highest of Kzin will repudiate us. But if we succeed, you are meat for our tables. [Chuft]
Telepath! Am I not affecting him at all? Is it the life support belt interfering? [Chuft]
He hears a faint whine, but he feels no ill effects. There is a vibration in the metal of his belt. Chuft Captain, he is too alien. He makes me taste yellow root munched between flat teeth. [Telepath]
Be glad if you need not read the Vulcan's mind. It may be a communication device, or a sonic stunner designed to affect members of a race now dead. A good serviceable telescope. They build well, these Slavers. [Chuft]
Mr. Spock, we... [Sulu]
Yes. When I give the word, make for the shuttle. Remember to zigzag. Ready? Go. [Spock]
