OPENING CREDITS

(3 Klingon battle cruisers approach a luminescent Cloud)

[Klingon bridge]

KLINGON CAPTAIN: (In Klingonese) Tactical.
(the battle cruisers overfly the Cloud)
KLINGON Helm: (In Klingonese) Visual.
(the Cloud on the viewscreen)
KLINGON CAPTAIN: (In Klingonese) Tactical. Stand by on torpedoes. ...Prepare. ...Fire!
(the battle cruisers burn down photon torpedoes at the Cloud)
KLINGON CAPTAIN: (In Klingonese) Evasive!

[Epsilon 9 - outside]

LIEUTENANT: This is comm station Epsilon Nine, calling U.S.Southward. Columbia. Come in Columbia. Respond!
COLUMBIA [OC]: (too faint to understand)
LIEUTENANT: This is Epsilon Nine. Am boosting output. How do yous read this?
COLUMBIA [OC]: All correct. (too faint to understand)
LIEUTENANT: Scout Columbia NCC six two 1 to rendezvous with Scout Revere NCC five ix 5 on stardate seven four ane i point 4. Further orders to be relayed at that time. Signed, Commodore Probert, Starfleet. End of manual.
COLUMBIA [OC]: All correct. (likewise faint to empathise)

[Epsilon Nine - interior]

LIEUTENANT: Our sensor drone is intercepting this on Quad L fourteen.
Branch: That's in Klingon boundaries. Who are they fighting?
LIEUTENANT: Unknown, sir.
TECHNICIAN: I have an exterior visual.
(the battle cruisers are destroyed past energy bolts from the Cloud)
LIEUTENANT: We've plotted a course on that Cloud, Commander. Information technology will pass into Federation space adequately close to the states.
Co-operative: Heading?
LIEUTENANT: Sir, it's on a precise heading for Earth!

[Surface of Vulcan]

Female person Chief: (in Vulcan) Our ancestors cast out their animal passions on these very sands, ...saving our race through the attainment of Kolinahr.
MALE MASTER: (in Vulcan) Kolinahr, through which all emotion is renounced and shed.
Female MASTER: (in Vulcan) You accept laboured for many seasons, Spock ...and you take proved yourself worthy ...to receive this symbol of pure logic.
(Spock stops her putting the ancient pendant around his neck)
FEMALE MASTER: (in Vulcan) Your thoughts, give them to me. Our minds are joined, Spock, ...together, and as ane. I sense the consciousness calling to you from space. ...Your human being blood is touched by it, Spock. You have not however attained Kolinahr. He must search elsewhere for his reply. He shall not discover it hither. Live long and prosper, Spock.

STARFLEET HEADQUARTERS
STARDATE: 7410.two

[San Francisco Air Tram station]

KIRK: Commander Sonak, you received your engagement as Enterprise scientific discipline officer?
SONAK: Based, I am told, on your recommendation, Admiral. Give thanks you lot.
KIRK: Why aren't you on board?
SONAK: Captain Decker requested I complete concluding science briefing hither before we leave on our mission.
KIRK: Here? At Starfleet? The Enterprise is in terminal preparation to leave dock.
SONAK: Which volition crave 20 more than hours at minimum.
KIRK: Twelve! I'm on my style to a meeting with Admiral Nogura which volition non terminal more than iii minutes. Report to me on the Enterprise in i 60 minutes.
SONAK: Report to you, sir?
KIRK: It is my intention to be on that ship post-obit that meeting. Study to me in one hr.

[Orbital Function Complex]

SCOTT: Admiral.
KIRK: Mister Scott.
SCOTT: Those departure orders, twelve hours, Starfleet cannot exist serious.
KIRK: Why aren't the Enterprise transporters operating, Mister Scott?
SCOTT: A wee problem, sir, actually. Just temporary. Admiral, we have simply spent eighteen months redesigning and refitting the Enterprise. How in the name of hell do they expect to take her ready in twelve hours?
KIRK: Take me over, please.

[Travel Pod]

SCOTT: She needs more work, a shakedown.
KIRK: Mister Scott, there's an alien object with unbelievable subversive power less than three days abroad from this planet. ...The simply starship in interception range is the Enterprise. Ready, or not, she launches in twelve hours.
SCOTT: The crew hasn't had near enough transition time with all the new equipment. And the engines are not yet tested at warp power. And an untried Captain.
KIRK: Two and a half years as Principal of Starfleet Operations may accept made me a stale merely I wouldn't exactly consider myself untried. They gave her dorsum to me, Scotty.
SCOTT: Gave her dorsum, sir? I uncertainty it was that easy with Nogura.
KIRK: You're correct
SCOTT: Well, any man who could manage such a feat, I wouldna dare disappoint. She'll launch on time, sir, ...and she'll be ready.
(Enterprise flyby)
KIRK: Thanks, Mister Scott.
SCOTT: Aye sir.

[Enterprise cargo deck]

TANNOY [OC]: Cargo bay to launch crew. Travel pod is now bachelor at dock six.
KIRK: Permission to come aboard, sir?
ENSIGN: Granted, sir. Welcome aboard, Admiral. ...Commander Scott, you lot're needed in engineering science immediately.
SCOTT: Sir, you'll excuse me?
TANNOY [OC]: Flight deck. Ready for incoming shuttlecraft.
ENSIGN: Sir, if you'll follow me, I'll...
KIRK: I think I tin observe my way, Ensign.
ENSIGN: Yep sir.

[Enterprise turbolift]

KIRK: Span.

[Enterprise span]

FEMALE CREWMEMBER'S [OC]: What's the trouble? I thought you had that circuit patched an hour ago.
Male person CREWMEMBER'S [OC]: We did. And we had to disconnect it.
CREWMEMBER'S VOICES: (full general technical chatter)
UHURA: I'll become somebody down there but every bit shortly every bit I can. ...Captain! Starfleet just signalled your transfer-of-command orders, sir.
SULU: Captain!
KIRK: I appreciate your welcome. I wish the circumstances were less disquisitional. Epsilon 9 is monitoring the intruder. Go on a channel open up.
UHURA: Aye sir.
KIRK: Where's Captain Decker?
SULU: He's in engineering, sir. ...He ...doesn't know.
KIRK: Mister Chekov!
CHEKOV: Yep sir.
KIRK: Assemble the crew on the Recreation Deck at oh four hundred hours. I desire to show them what we're facing.
SULU: He wanted her dorsum. He got her!
Alien ENSIGN: And Captain Decker? He's been with the ship every minute of her refitting.
UHURA: Ensign, the possibilities of our returning from this mission in one piece may have just doubled.

[Enterprise applied science]

VOICES [OC]: Bank check. Cleary on number six.
Space matrix restoration coils. Dilithium crystals.
I knew information technology. The transporter sensor was not activated.
Faulty modules.
SCOTT [OC]: Cleary! Put a new backup sensor into the unit.
CLEARY [OC]: Aye sir.
DECKER: Admiral Kirk! ...We're getting a top brass send off? Don't worry, she'll launch on schedule if nosotros have to tow her out with our bare easily. Right, Scotty?
SCOTT: Aye, yes, that we will, sir.
KIRK: Permit's talk.
DECKER: Sure. Permit me now when the backup'south ready.
SCOTT: Aye sir.
DECKER: With all due respect, sir, I hope this isn't some kind of Starfleet pep talk, I'thou really too busy.
KIRK: I'grand taking over the heart seat, Will.
DECKER: You're what?
KIRK: I'thou replacing yous equally Captain of the Enterprise. You'll stay on equally Executive Officer. Temporary grade reduction to Commander.
DECKER: You personally, are assuming command?
KIRK: Yeah.
DECKER: May I enquire? Why?
KIRK: My experience, five years out there dealing with unknowns similar this, my familiarity with the Enterprise, this crew.
DECKER: Admiral, this is an nigh totally new Enterprise. Yous don't know her a 10th as well as I do.
KIRK: That's why you're staying aboard. I'k sorry,
DECKER: No, Admiral. I don't call back you are, not one damn bit. I remember when you lot recommended me for this command. You told me how envious yous were, and how much yous hoped you'd find a way to get a starship control again. Well, it looks like you lot institute a way.
KIRK: Study to the span, Commander. Immediately.
DECKER: Aye sir.
CLEARY: Transporter room, come in! Urgent! Redline on the transporters, Mister Scott!
SCOTT: Transporter room, do not engage! Exercise not...
CLEARY: It's too late. They're beaming at present!

[Enterprise transporter room]

RAND: Practise you read me Starfleet? Override us. Pull them back!
STARFLEET [OC]: Unable to receive their pattern, Enterprise.
KIRK: Requite it to me. Starfleet, heave your affair proceeds, we need more bespeak! ...More indicate!
SCOTT: We're losing their design.
RAND: Oh, no! They're forming!
Woman: (a scream)
SONAK: (a moan)
KIRK: Starfleet, do you take them?
STARFLEET [OC]: Enterprise, ...what we got back didn't live long, ...fortunately.
KIRK: Starfleet, ...Kirk. Delight ...express my condolences to their families. Commander Sonak'south tin be reached through the Vulcan Embassy. There was nix you lot could have washed, Rand. It wasn't your fault.

[Enterprise corridor]

KIRK: Yeoman! Turboshaft eight?
YEOMAN: Back that way, sir.
KIRK: Nosotros have to replace Commander Sonak. I'd still like a Vulcan there, if possible.
DECKER: None available, Captain. There's no one bachelor. In fact there'south no one who'south fully rated on this design.
KIRK: You lot are, Mister Decker. I'g afraid you're gonna have to double as scientific discipline officer.

[Enterprise recreation deck]

KIRK: That's all we know about it, except that it's at present fifty-iii point iv hours away from Earth. Enterprise is the only Federation starship that stands in its style. Our orders are to intercept, investigate, and take whatsoever action is necessary, ...and possible.
BRIDGE [OC]: Bridge to Helm. Priority signal from Epsilon Nine.
KIRK: Put it on the viewer.
UHURA [OC]: On viewer, sir.
BRANCH (on viewer): Enterprise, the Cloud is definitely a ability field of some kind. Measures, my God, over two A.U.'s in diameter. Must be something incredible within at that place generating it. We're transmitting linguacode friendship messages on all frequencies. No response.
TECHNICIAN (on viewer): I have a goose egg reading at the center of the Deject, sir.
LIEUTENANT (on viewer): Definitely something inside in that location only all scans are existence reflected back.
Co-operative (on viewer): A kind of power surge.
LIEUTENANT (on viewer): Receiving an odd pattern now.
Branch (on viewer): Enterprise, ...they could be mistaking our scans as a hostile human action.
LIEUTENANT (on viewer): They seem to exist reacting to our scans, sir.
BRANCH (on viewer): Deflectors, emergency total! We are nether attack!
KIRK: External view!
(Epsilon 9 is destroyed in the aforementioned way as the Klingon battle cruisers)
KIRK: Viewer off. ...Pre-launch countdown will commence in forty minutes.

[Enterprise bridge]

UHURA [OC]: Transporter organization fully repaired and functioning usually, sir.
SULU: Dock signals clear, Captain.
KIRK: Answer we are holding position awaiting final coiffure replacements.
UHURA: Aye sir. Transporter personnel reports the Navigator Lieutenant ...Ilia. She's already aboard, and en route to the bridge, sir. She's Deltan, sir.
ILIA: Lieutenant Ilia reporting for duty, sir.
KIRK: Welcome aboard, Lieutenant.
DECKER: Hullo, Ilia.
ILIA: Decker!
DECKER: I was stationed on the Lieutenant's habitation planet some years agone.
ILIA: 'Commander' Decker?
KIRK: Aye, our Exec and scientific discipline officeholder.
DECKER: Captain Kirk has the utmost confidence in me.
KIRK: And in you too, Lieutenant.
ILIA: My oath of celibacy is on record Helm. May I presume my duties?
KIRK: By all means.
UHURA: Helm, Starfleet reports our terminal six crewmembers are ready to beam upwards, ...but one of them is refusing to step into the transporter.
KIRK: Oh? I'll run into to it that he beams upward! ...Transporter room.

[Enterprise transporter room]

KIRK: Ellen.
ELLEN: Yes sir.
KIRK: What was the problem down in that location?
ELLEN: He insisted nosotros become outset, sir. Said something almost start seeing how it scrambled our molecules.
KIRK: That has a familiar ring, doesn't it? Starfleet, this is Helm Kirk. Axle that officeholder up now! ...Well, for a human who swore he'd never render to Starfleet.
McCOY: Just a moment, Helm, sir. I'll explain what happened. Your revered Admiral Nogura invoked a little known, and seldom used, reserve activation clause, ...in simpler language, Captain, they drafted me!
KIRK: They didn't!
McCOY: This was your thought! This was your thought, wasn't information technology?
KIRK: Basic, there's a 'affair' out at that place...
McCOY: Why is whatever object we don't sympathise always called a 'affair'?
KIRK: ...headed this manner. I need you. Dammit Basic, I need you lot. Desperately!
McCOY: Permission to come aboard?
RAND [OC]: Permission granted, sir.
McCOY: Well, Jim, I hear Chapel's an MD now. Well, I'm gonna demand a acme nurse, not a doc who'll argue every piddling diagnosis with me. And ...they've probably redesigned the whole sickbay, too. I know engineers. They dear to alter things.

(the Enterprise in Spacedock)

[Enterprise span]

UHURA: Dock control reports prepare, sir.
SULU: Helm ready, sir.
ILIA: Orbital departure on plot, sir.
UHURA: Yard control signalling clear, sir.
KIRK: Maneuvering thrusters, Mister Sulu.
SULU: Maneuvering thrusters, sir.
KIRK: Concur station.
SULU: Thrusters at station keeping.
KIRK: Thrusters ahead, Mister Sulu. ...Have us out.

[Enterprise engineering]

SCOTT: Intermix prepare. Span, impulse power at your discretion.

[Enterprise bridge]

KIRK: Impulse power, Mister Sulu. Ahead, warp signal five. ...Departure bending on viewer.
SULU: Divergence angle.
KIRK: Viewer ahead.

(external infinite, Enterprise passes Jupiter)

Captain's log, stardate 7412.6. one point eight hours from launch. In guild to intercept the intruder at the earliest possible time, we must at present risk engaging warp drive while even so within the solar system.

DECKER: Captain, assuming nosotros have full warp capability, accelerating to warp seven on leaving the solar system will bring us to IP with the intruder, twenty point 1 hours.
KIRK: Well, Basic, do the new medical facilities see with your approving?
McCOY: They do not. It'southward like working in a damned computer center.
KIRK: Programming ready?
DECKER: Program set for standard warp entry, Captain, ...but I still recommend farther simulation study.
KIRK: Mister Decker, every minute brings that object closer to Earth! Applied science! Stand up by for warp drive.
SCOTT (on intercom): We need further warp simulation on the flow sensors.
KIRK: Engineer, nosotros demand warp speed now!
McCOY: Jim, you lot're pushing. Your people know their jobs.

[Enterprise engineering]

ASSISTANT ENGINEER: That's it, sir. I tin't exercise whatever better.
SCOTT: Aye, lad. It's deadline on the simulator. Helm, I canna guarantee that she'll hold up.

[Enterprise bridge]

KIRK: Warp drive, Mister Scott. Ahead, warp one, Mister Sulu.
SULU: Accelerating to warp one, sir. Warp indicate seven, ...point 8, ...warp one, sir.
KIRK: Mister Decker... Wormhole! ...Get united states of america back on impulse ability! Full contrary!
SULU: Negative helm control, Captain! Going reverse on impulse ability!
UHURA: Subspace frequencies are jammed, sir. Wormhole issue!
DECKER: Negative command from inertial lag will continue twenty-ii betoken 5 seconds earlier forward velocity slows to sub-light speed.
ILIA: Unidentified pocket-sized object has been pulled into the wormhole with us, Captain! Direct alee!
KIRK: Forcefields up, full! Put object on viewer. ...Manual override on helm.
SULU: No manual response!
ILIA: Navigational deflectors coming up.
DECKER: Wormhole distortion has over-loaded main ability systems!
ILIA: Navigational deflectors inoperative, Helm. Directional control also inoperative.
KIRK: (slowly, distorted) Time to bear on?
ILIA: (slowly, distorted) Twenty seconds.
KIRK: (slowly, distorted) Mister Chekov, stand past on phasers.
DECKER: (slowly, distorted) No! ...Belay that phaser guild! ...Arm photon torpedoes.
CHEKOV: (slowly, distorted) Photon torpedoes ...armed.
ILIA: (slowly, distorted) Object is an asteroid, reading mass point seven.
CHEKOV: (slowly, distorted) Targeting asteroid.
ILIA: (slowly, distorted) Impact in x seconds. ...Impact in eight seconds
DECKER: (slowly, distorted) Fire torpedoes!
ILIA: (slowly, distorted) ...Six.
CHEKOV: (slowly, distorted) Torpedoes away.
ILIA: (slowly, distorted) ...4.
SULU: Captain control restored, sir.
DECKER: Position report, Navigator?
ILIA: Computing new interception course.
UHURA [OC]: Communications are normal, sir.
CHEKOV [OC]: Negative impairment report, Captain. No casualties reported, Doctor.
McCOY: Wrong, Mister Chekov, at that place are casualties. My wits! As in 'frightened-out-of', Helm, sir!
DECKER: Nosotros're at warp signal eight. Engineer, ...study your condition there.

[Enterprise technology]

SCOTT: In merely a second, Exec, we're picking up the pieces down here.

[Enterprise bridge]

KIRK: Mister Scott, we need warp bulldoze as presently as possible.

[Enterprise engineering]

SCOTT: Captain, information technology was the engine imbalance that created the wormhole in the first place. ...It'll happen over again if we don't correct information technology.

[Enterprise bridge]

DECKER: We must correct it.
KIRK: That object out in that location is less than two days from Earth. We need to intercept while it still is out in that location. Navigator lay in a new heading to conform with our initial IP. Mister Sulu, you have the conn.
KIRK: Mister Decker, I'd like to see y'all in my quarters.
McCOY: Listen if I tag forth, Captain?
KIRK: Level 5.

[Kirk'due south quarters]

KIRK: All right, explanation? Why was my phaser order countermanded?
DECKER: Sir, the Enterprise redesign increases phaser ability by channelling it through the chief engines. When they went into anti-matter imbalance, the phasers were automatically cut off.
KIRK: And then you acted properly, of course.
DECKER: Thank yous, sir. ...I'm sorry if I embarrassed you lot.
KIRK: You lot saved the ship.
DECKER: I'one thousand aware of that, sir.
KIRK: Stop ...competing with me, Decker!
DECKER: Permission to speak freely, sir?
KIRK: Granted.
DECKER: Sir, you haven't logged a single star 60 minutes in two and a half years. That, plus your unfamiliarity with the ship'south redesign, in my opinion, sir, seriously jeopardises this mission.
KIRK: I trust you will ...nursemaid me through these difficulties, Mister?
DECKER: Yes sir. I'll practice that.
KIRK: And so I won't keep y'all from your duties any longer, Commander.
KIRK: Yes, Doctor?
DECKER: Yep sir.
McCOY: He may be right, Jim.

[Enterprise corridor]

ILIA: Was it difficult?
DECKER: No more than I expected. ...Non as hard every bit seeing you. I'g sorry.
ILIA: That you left Delta Iv? Or that you didn't even say 'cheerio'?
DECKER: If I had seen you lot once again, ...would you accept been able to say it?
ILIA: No.

[Kirk'south quarters]

KIRK: Brand your bespeak, Dr..
McCOY: The point, Captain, is that it'southward you who'south competing. ...You lot rammed getting this command down Starfleet'due south throat. Y'all've used this emergency to get Enterprise back.
KIRK: And I intend to go on her, is it that what you're saying?
McCOY: Yes! It's an obsession, an obsession that can blind you to far more immediate, and critical responsibilities. Your reaction to Decker is an instance.
UHURA (on intercom): Bridge to Helm.
KIRK: Viewer on.
UHURA (on intercom): Signal from a Federation-registered long-range shuttle, sir.
UHURA (on viewer): She wishes to come up alongside, and lock on.
KIRK: For what purpose?
CHEKOV (on viewer):Our security scanning shows information technology has a Grade-One priority, Captain. Not-belligerency confirmed. I suspect information technology is a ...courier of some kind.
KIRK: Very well, Mister Chekov, see to it. Viewer off. Your ...opinion has been noted.
McCOY: Is at that place annihilation further?
KIRK [OC]: That depends on you lot.

[Shuttle dock entrance]

COMPUTER [OC]: Security scan. Ane border. Identity, Starfleet inactive.
SPOCK: Permission to come aboard, sir?
CHEKOV: Granted, sir! Granted!

[Enterprise bridge]

Crew: Why... Why ...information technology'due south Mister...
KIRK: Spock! ...Spock.
SPOCK: Commander, if I may?
DECKER: If... Oh!
SPOCK: I have been monitoring your communications with Starfleet Command, Captain, I'one thousand enlightened of your engine design difficulties. ...I offering my services as science officer. ...With all due respect, Commander.
KIRK: If our Exec has no objections?
DECKER: Of course not. I'm well aware of Mister Spock's qualifications.
KIRK: Mister Chekov, log Mister Spock'due south Starfleet commission reactivated, list him as scientific discipline officer, ...both effective immediately.
CHAPEL: Mister Spock!!!
McCOY: Well, so help me, I'm actually pleased to see you.
UHURA: It'due south how we all feel, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: Captain, with your permission, I will now hash out these fuel equations with the Engineer.
KIRK: Mister Spock, welcome aboard.

Helm's log, stardate 7413.four. Thanks to Mister Spock'south timely inflow, and assistance, we take the engines rebalanced into full warp chapters. Repair time less than 3 hours, ...which means we will now be able to intercept intruder while still more than than a day from Earth.

SULU: Warp point eight, ...bespeak nine, ...warp 2, ...warp five, ...warp half-dozen, ...warp 7, sir.

[Enterprise officers lounge]

SPOCK: Scientific discipline officer Spock, reporting as ordered, Captain.
KIRK: Please sit downwards.
McCOY: Spock, you oasis't changed a bit. You're just as warm and sociable as ever.
SPOCK: Nor have you, Medico, as your continued predilection for irrelevancy demonstrates.
KIRK: Gentlemen. At last study you were on Vulcan. Apparently to stay.
McCOY: Yes, y'all were undergoing the Kolineer field of study.
KIRK: Sit down.
SPOCK: If you are referring to the Kolinahr, Doctor, you are correct.
McCOY: Well, however it's pronounced, Mister Spock, it's the Vulcan ritual supposed to purge all remaining emotions.
KIRK: The Kolinahr is also the subject you broke ...to join usa. Will you, please, ...sit downwards!
SPOCK: On Vulcan I began sensing a consciousness of a forcefulness more powerful than I take ever encountered. Idea patterns of exactingly perfect order. I believe they emanate from the intruder. I believe it may hold my answers.
McCOY: Well, isn't it lucky for you that we but happened to be heading your way?
KIRK: Bones! Nosotros need him. I need him.
SPOCK: And then my presence is to our common reward.
KIRK: Any thought patterns you might sense, ...whether they announced to touch on yous personally or non, I wait to exist immediately reported.
SPOCK: Of course, Captain. Is in that location anything else?
KIRK: No.
McCOY: Jim, ...if this super-intelligence is every bit important to him as he says, how do we know?
KIRK: That he wouldn't put his interests ahead of the send's. I could never believe that.
McCOY: How do nosotros know about any of united states?
UHURA (on intercom): Span to Officer's lounge, Helm Kirk. Revised judge on Cloud visual contact, three betoken seven minutes.
KIRK: On my way.

[Enterprise span]

(klaxon sounding RED Alarm)
KIRK: Give us a reading, Commander. ...Standard light, Engineer. Full mag on viewer.
SULU: Full mag, sir.
KIRK: Linguacode?
UHURA: Continuing friendship messages on all frequencies.
CHEKOV: All decks and divisions ostend, status cherry.
SPOCK: Captain, we are beingness scanned.
KIRK: Do not return scan, Mister Spock. It could be misinterpreted as hostility.
SPOCK: Intruder scans emanate from the exact center of the Deject. Energy of a type ...never before encountered.
UHURA: No response to friendship messages, Captain.
CHEKOV: Should I go to battle stations, sir?
KIRK: Negative, We'll have no provocative activeness.
DECKER: Recommend defensive posture, screens and shields.
KIRK: No, Mister Decker, ...that could also exist misinterpreted as hostile. Deject composition, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: Twelfth-power energy field.
SULU: 12th-ability?
DECKER: Helm, we've seen what their weapons can do. Shouldn't we take every possible precaution?
KIRK: Mister Decker.
SPOCK: Captain, I suspect there's an object at the heart of that Cloud.
KIRK: Mister Decker, I will non provoke an attack, If that order isn't clear enough for y'all...
DECKER: Captain, as your Exec, information technology'due south my duty to point out alternatives.
KIRK: I stand corrected.
ILIA: Five minutes to Cloud purlieus.
KIRK: Navigator, lay in a conic section flight path into the Cloud heart. Bring u.s. parallel to any nosotros find in there. ...Mister Sulu, tactical plot on viewer.
SULU: Tactical on viewer.
DECKER: That measures 12th power energy? Thousands of starships couldn't generate that much.
KIRK: Spock... Spock, tell me.
SPOCK: I sense ...puzzlement. We accept been contacted. Why have we not replied?
KIRK: Contacted? How?
(klaxon sounds again)
KIRK: Forcefields up. ...Deflectors now!
CHEKOV: Forcefields and deflectors upwards full, Helm.
KIRK: Analysis, Mister Spock
SPOCK: Alien weapon is a form of plasma energy, Captain. Exact composition unknown. Guidance system unknown.
KIRK: All decks brace for impact.
(an energy bolt hits the Enterprise)
KIRK: Engineering, status report.

[Enterprise applied science]

SCOTT: Systems overloading, Helm.

[Bridge}

(the consequence of the energy bolt hits Chekov'southward right mitt through his console)
CHEKOV: Aaaaarhh. ...Aaaaarhh.
KIRK: Medic.
DECKER: Medics are coming.
SCOTT (on intercom): Engineering to span.

[Enterprise engineering]

SCOTT: Nosotros cannot concur full power on forcefields. Deflector power is downwardly 70 percentage!

[Enterprise bridge]

KIRK: Divert auxiliary systems power to deflectors.
UHURA: Oh proficient, Christine. Information technology'southward Chekov.
CHAPEL: Medic.
ILIA [OC]: I tin can stop his hurting.
CHEKOV: Thank you.
SPOCK: Helm, the intruder has been attempting to communicate. ...Frequency more than one million megahertz, and at such high rate of speed their entire bulletin lasts only a millisecond.
SPOCK: I am now programming our computer to transmit linguacode at their frequency and charge per unit of speed. ...Commander
KIRK: Spock!
SULU [OC]: Hither it comes!
KIRK: Engineering, ...what'south happening to our forcefields?

[Enterprise technology]

SCOTT: Our shields cannot handle another assault!

[Enterprise bridge]

KIRK: Mister Spock? ...Spock!
ILIA [OC]: Fifteen seconds,...
KIRK: Spock! Transmit now!
ILIA [OC]: ...x seconds.
DECKER: Transmitting.
KIRK: Information technology would seem that our friendship messages take been received and understood, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: I would say that was a logical assumption, Captain
ILIA: Ane minute, xxx seconds to Cloud boundary.
SPOCK: Helm, nosotros are obviously confronted by a highly advanced mentality, ...yet they cannot understand who we are, or what we desire.
KIRK: And yet it would seem that they empathise our messages. They broke off the assault.
DECKER: They may have attacked only as a alert to us, Captain, to proceed away.
SPOCK: That would presuppose a feeling, Commander, ...compassion. I sensed no emotion, only ...pure logic.
KIRK: Mister Sulu, concur present position.
SULU: Holding nowadays position, sir.
KIRK: Tactical plot on viewer.
SULU [OC]: Class project on tactical, sir.
KIRK: Opinion, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: Recommend we proceed, Captain.
KIRK: Mister Decker?
DECKER: I advise circumspection, Captain, we tin't withstand another attack.
KIRK: That matter is 20 hours away from Earth. Nosotros know nothing virtually it all the same.
DECKER: That's precisely the point. We don't know information technology will do. Moving into that Cloud, at this time, is an unwarranted take chances.
KIRK: How do you define 'unwarranted'?
DECKER: Y'all asked my opinion, sir.
KIRK: Viewer, standard ahead. ...Navigator, maintain course. Helmsman, ...steady every bit she goes.
(the coiffure scout on the viewer every bit the Enterprise flies into the Deject)
KIRK: No vessel could generate a ability field of this magnitude. ...Spock?
SPOCK: Instruments fluctuating, Helm. Patterns unrecognisable.
(the Enterprise continues to fly into the Cloud)
KIRK: Transmit epitome of the alien to Starfleet, advise we are attempting further to communicate.
UHURA: Unable to brand contact with Starfleet, Captain. Any try to transmit out of the Cloud is beingness reflected back.
SULU: We're closing in on it rapidly, Helm.
KIRK: Reduce magnification. Factor four, Mister Sulu.
SULU: We're already two settings below that, sir.
KIRK: Mister Sulu, ...bring us into a parallel course, over the conflicting at v hundred metres distance.
SULU: 5 hundred metres?
KIRK: And so have the states out to one hundred kilometres, adjusting parallel course.
SULU: Aye sir.
KIRK [OC]: Viewer backward.
SULU [OC]: Reverse angle on viewer.
SULU: 5 hundred metres.
KIRK: Viewer ahead.
SULU [OC]: Viewer ahead, sir.
(Enterprise continues flying fifty-fifty deeper into the Deject)
KIRK: Hold relative position here.
(klaxon sounds alert for incoming conflicting weapon)
CHEKOV: Mister Spock? Can that be 1 of their crew?
SPOCK: A probe from their vessel, Captain. Plasma-energy combination.
DECKER: Don't interfere with it!
CHEKOV: Absolutely I will not interfere.
KIRK: No one interfere. It doesn't seem interested in usa, simply the ship. ...Reckoner off.
DECKER: Its taken control of the computer!
KIRK: It's running our records. Earth defences, ...Starfleet strength,
(Spock smashes the computer console controls)
DECKER: Ilia! ...Ilia!
(the probe with Ilia disappears)
DECKER: This is how I define unwarranted! ...Activate auxiliary figurer circuits through manual shut-off.
(klaxon sounds again)
SPOCK [OC]: Helm, we have been seized by a tractor beam.
KIRK [OC] Get someone up here to take the Navigator'south station! Applied science, ...full emergency ability!
DECKER: Chief Difalco to the span, on the double!

[Enterprise applied science]

SCOTT: Captain, if we don't intermission free in fifteen seconds, she'll fire up.

[Enterprise bridge]

SPOCK: We cannot break free, Captain. We only accept a fraction of the power necessary.
KIRK: Engineering! Belay that order, Scotty! Disengage all principal drive systems!
DECKER: Primary Difalco, accept over Lieutenant Ilia's station.
(the Enterprise is pulled towards an 'iris' aperture)
KIRK: Difalco, disengage engine navigation relays now.
DIFALCO [OC]: Aye sir.
Engineering science TECHNICIAN: Forcefield circuits E ten through East 14 testify ready for reactivation. Confirm, please.
KIRK [OC]: Scotty, bulldoze systems should exist free now.
DECKER: Commander?
UHURA: Ready to launch remote drone with complete ship's tape including our present situation, sir.
DECKER: Delay launching every bit long as possible. Our drone tin't escape as long equally nosotros're held in their traction.
UHURA: Aye.
DECKER: Captain, a maximum phaser strike directly at the beam might weaken information technology just plenty for us to suspension free.
SPOCK: Intermission gratis to where, Commander? Any prove of resistance would exist futile, Helm.
DECKER: We don't know that, Mister Spock. Why are you opposed to trying?
(the Enterprise's journey inside the alien ship continues)
DECKER: Why bring the states inside? Not to destroy us, they could accept washed that outside.
KIRK: They withal can.
SPOCK: Curiosity, Mister Decker, ...insatiable curiosity.
UHURA: Helm, photic-sonar readings indicate the aperture is closing. We're trapped, sir!
SULU [OC]: Reverse bending on the viewer, Captain.
SPOCK: The tractor beam has released us, Helm.
DIFALCO: Confirmed. Vessel is floating free. No frontwards momentum.
KIRK: Viewer ahead.
SULU: Viewer alee, sir.
KIRK: Maneuvering thrusters, Mister Sulu, alee, 1 third.
SULU [OC]: Thrusters alee one third.
KIRK: Let'due south take a look. Total sensor scan, Mister Spock. They can't await us not to look them over now.
DECKER: At present that we're looking down their pharynx.
KIRK: Right! Now that they've got us only where they want us.
SULU [OC]: It'due south closing up.
KIRK: Concur position.
SPOCK: Captain, ...all our scans are being reflected back. Sensors are useless.
KIRK: Damn! ...What do you brand of all this?
SPOCK: I believe the airtight orifice leads to another chamber. Undoubtedly office of the vessel's inner mechanism. I suspect it may exist necessary...
COMPUTER [OC]: Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!
CHEKOV: Deck 5, Captain, Officers' Quarters!
KIRK: Have a security team meet me at deck five main elevator. Spock! Mister Decker you lot have the conn. Hold position.

[Ilia's quarters]

(the Ilia probe is in the sonic shower)
ILIA PROBE: You lot are the Kirk unit. You will assist me. I've been programmed by V'Ger to discover and record normal functioning of the carbon-based units infesting UsS. Enterprise.
McCOY: Jim, what's going on?
KIRK: Tricorder. ...Who is ...'5'Ger'?
ILIA PROBE: 5'Ger is that which has programmed me.
KIRK: Is V'Ger the name of the captain of the conflicting vessel?
McCOY: Jim, this is a mechanism!
SPOCK: A probe, Captain. No doubt a sensor-transceiver combination, recording everything we say and do.
KIRK: Where is Lieutenant Ilia?
ILIA PROBE: That unit no longer functions. I have been given its form to more than readily communicate with the carbon-based units infesting Enterprise.
SECURITY Guard: 'Carbon-based units'?
McCOY: Humans, Ensign Perez. Usa.
KIRK: Why does V'Ger travel to the tertiary planet of the solar system direct ahead?
ILIA PROBE: To observe the Creator.
KIRK: To find the Creator? Whose? ...What does V'Ger want with the Creator?
ILIA PROBE: To join with him.
SPOCK: Join with the Creator? ...How?
ILIA PROBE: V'Ger and the Creator will become one.
SPOCK: And who is the Creator?
ILIA PROBE: The Creator is that which created V'Ger.
KIRK: Who is Five'Ger?
ILIA PROBE: Five'Ger is that which seeks the Creator. I am ready to commence my observations.
SPOCK: Doc, a thorough examination of this probe might provide some insight into those who manufactured it, and how to deal with them.
McCOY: Fine! Let's get her to sickbay.
ILIA PROBE: I am programmed to observe and tape only the normal performance procedures of the carbon-based units.
KIRK: The ...exam is a normal function.
ILIA PROBE: You may proceed.

[Enterprise examining room]

McCOY: ...micro-miniature hydraulics, sensors, and molecule-sized multi-processor chips. ...And have a expect at this!
CHAPEL: Osmotic micro-pump, ...right here. Fifty-fifty the smallest body functions are exactly duplicated. ...And every exocrine system is hither, likewise, ...even center moisture.
ILIA PROBE Deck ...er.
SPOCK: Fascinating. Not 'Decker-unit'? ...Gentlemen.
KIRK: Will.

[Enterprise corridor]

DECKER: What happened to her?
SPOCK: Captain, ...this probe may be a cardinal a key to the aliens.
DECKER: Probe? Ilia?
SPOCK: Exactly. It'southward a programmed mechanism, Commander. ...Its torso duplicates our navigator in precise detail. Suppose that below information technology's programming, the real Ilia's retentiveness patterns are duplicated with equal precision.
KIRK: They had a pattern to follow.
SPOCK: Indeed. ...They may accept followed it likewise precisely.
KIRK: Ilia's memory, her feelings of loyalty, obedience, friendship, ...might all be there.
SPOCK: You did have a 'relationship' with Lieutenant Ilia, Commander.
DECKER: That probe in there, in a different course now, is what killed Ilia!
KIRK: Commander! Volition, we're locked in an alien vessel, six hours from World orbit, our only contact with our captor is that probe. If we could control it, persuade it, utilize it in some mode.
(the Ilia probe breaks out into the corridor)
ILIA PROBE: I have recorded enough here. You will at present assist me farther.
KIRK: The Decker-unit tin can help you with much greater efficiency. ...Deport on with your consignment, Mister Decker.
DECKER: Yep sir.
SPOCK: I am concerned with that existence our but source of information.

Helm'southward log, stardate 7414.one. Our best estimates identify usa some 4 hours from Earth. No significant progress thus far reviving Ilia memory patterns within the alien probe. This remains our but means of contact with our captor.

[Kirk'south quarters]

DECKER (on viewscreen): All these vessels were called 'Enterprise'.

[Enterprise recreation deck]

DECKER: The carbon units use this expanse for recreation. ...This is i of the games. ...What blazon of recreation does the coiffure aboard your vessel enjoy?
ILIA PROBE: The words 'recreation' and 'enjoy' accept no meaning to my programming.
DECKER: Ilia enjoyed this game, ...she nearly ever won.

[Kirk's quarters]

McCOY: Good! He's using audial-visual association.
ILIA PROBE (on viewscreen): This device serves no purpose. ...Why does Enterprise require the presence of carbon units?
DECKER (on viewscreen): Enterprise would exist unable to function without carbon units.
ILIA PROBE (on viewscreen): More than data concerning this functioning is necessary before carbon units can be patterned for information storage.
DECKER (on viewscreen): What does that mean?
ILIA PROBE (on viewscreen): When my test is complete, all carbon units volition be reduced to data patterns.
DECKER (on viewscreen): Within you, are memory patterns of a certain carbon unit of measurement. If I can assist you revive those patterns, you could understand our functions better.
ILIA PROBE (on viewscreen): That is logical. Yous may keep.

[Enterprise airlock area]

(Spock disables a technician with a nerve pinch)

[Kirk's quarters]

(viewscreen has moved to Ilia's quarters)
CHAPEL (on viewscreen): I recollect Lieutenant Ilia in one case mentioning that she wore this.
DECKER (on viewscreen): Put it on. ...On Delta, ...remember?
CHAPEL (on viewscreen): Ilia.
ILIA PROBE (on viewscreen): Dr. Chapel, ...Volition?
DECKER (on viewscreen): Ilia.
McCOY (on viewscreen): Commander. ...Commander, ...this is a mechanism.
DECKER (on viewscreen): Ilia, help us make direct contact with V'Ger.
ILIA PROBE (on viewscreen): I cannot.
DECKER (on viewscreen): This Creator V'Ger'southward looking for. What is it?
ILIA PROBE (on viewscreen): 5'Ger does not know.

[Outside Enterprise - Spock in a thruster suit]

SPOCK: Computer. Commence recording. Captain Kirk, these messages will item my attempt to contact the aliens. ...I intend to calculate thruster ignition and acceleration rates to coincide with the opening of the V'Ger orifice. This should facilitate a better view of the interior of the alien spacecraft.

[Enterprise bridge]

UHURA: Captain, Starfleet signals growing in strength, sir. ...They withal accept the intruder on their monitors. It's decelerating!
SULU: Confirmed. Lunar beacons indicate intruder on a course into Earth orbit.
CHEKOV: Sir! Airlock iv has been opened. A thruster suit is reported missing!
KIRK: A thruster conform? That'due south Spock! Damn him! Bring him dorsum hither. ...No wait, ...go a fix on his position.
CHEKOV: Aye sir.

[Outside Enterprise]

(Spock fires the thruster conform and successfully passes through the opening orifice)
SPOCK: I take successfully penetrated the side by side bedroom of the alien's Interior, and I am witnessing some sort of dimensional image which I believe to be a representation of V'Ger's home planet. I am passing through a connecting tunnel. Manifestly a kind of plasma-energy conduit. Possibly a field coil for gigantic imaging systems. Curious. I am seeing images of planets, moons, stars, whole galaxies all stored in here, recorded. It could be a tape of 5'Ger's entire journey. Just who, or what, are nosotros dealing with? The Epsilon 9 station, stored here with every detail. Captain, I am at present quite convinced that all of this is Five'Ger. That we are inside a living machine. Ilia. The sensor ...must incorporate some special meaning. I must try to mind-meld with information technology. Aaaaarhh.
(Spock reappears outside the Enterprise, Kirk in a spacesuit retrieves him)
KIRK: Spock? ...Spock?

[Enterprise sickbay]

CHAPEL: Now scanning pons area. Spinal nerve fiber connection.
McCOY: Indications of some neurological trauma. The power pouring through that heed-meld must have been staggering.
SPOCK: Jim, ...I should accept known.
KIRK: Were you right? Virtually Five'Ger?
SPOCK: A lifeform of its own, a conscious, living entity.
CHAPEL [OC]: A living motorcar?
KIRK: It considers the Enterprise a living motorcar. That's why the probe refers it as an entity.
SPOCK: I saw Five'Ger'southward planet, a planet populated by living machines. Unbelievable applied science. V'Ger has knowledge that spans this universe. And, yet with all this pure logic, ...V'Ger is barren, common cold, no mystery, no dazzler. I should have known.
KIRK: Known? Known what? ...Spock, what should you take known?
SPOCK: This simple feeling ...is beyond V'Ger'southward comprehension. No significant, ...no hope, ...and, Jim, no answers. It's request questions. 'Is this ...all I am? Is there naught more?'
UHURA (on intercom): Bridge to Captain.
KIRK: Kirk hither.

[Enterprise bridge]

UHURA: A faint signal from Starfleet, sir. Intruder Deject has been located on their outer monitors for past twenty-seven minutes. ...Cloud dissipating chop-chop equally information technology approaches.
SULU: Starfleet reports forward velocity has slowed to sub-warp speed. We are three minutes from World's orbit.

[Enterprise sickbay]

KIRK: I'll be right there. ...I need Spock on the bridge.
CHAPEL: Dalaphaline, v cc's.

[Enterprise bridge]

UHURA [OC]: Captain, Starfleet is sending this tactical on V'Ger's position. V'Ger is transmitting a bespeak.
DECKER: Jim!
KIRK: From V'Ger?
ILIA PROBE: 5'Ger signals the Creator.
KIRK: Spock?
SPOCK: A uncomplicated binary code transmitted by carrier-moving ridge point. Radio.
KIRK: Radio?
DECKER: Jim, Five'Ger expects an reply.
KIRK: An answer? I don't know the question.
ILIA PROBE: The Creator has non responded.
CHEKOV: All planetary defense force systems accept just gone inoperative.
UHURA: Sir, Starfleet says the devices are proceeding to equidistant positions orbiting the planet.
McCOY: They're the same things that hitting us.
SPOCK: They are hundreds of times more powerful, Captain. From those positions they could devastate the entire surface of the planet.
KIRK: Why?
ILIA PROBE: The Creator has not answered. The carbon-units infestation is to exist removed from the Creator's planet.
KIRK: Why?
ILIA PROBE: You infest, Enterprise. Y'all interfere with the Creator in the same manner.
KIRK: The carbon-units are not an infestation. They are ...a natural function of the Creator'south planet. They are living things.
ILIA PROBE: They are not true lifeforms Merely the Creator and other like lifeforms are true.
McCOY: Like lifeforms. Jim, 5'Ger is maxim its Creator is a machine.
KIRK: Machine!
SPOCK: Captain, V'Ger is a child. I suggest you care for it every bit such.
KIRK: A kid?
SPOCK: Yep, helm, a child. Evolving, learning, searching, instinctively needing.
DECKER: Needing what?
McCOY: Spock! This thing is near to wipe out every living thing on Earth At present what practice yous advise we do? Spank it?
SPOCK: It just knows that it needs, Commander. Merely similar so many of us, information technology does non know what.
KIRK: The carbon units know why the Creator has non responded.
ILIA PROBE: Disembalm the information.
KIRK: Not until V'Ger withdraws the devices orbiting the third planet.
UHURA: Captain! I'one thousand losing Starfleet. Interference from 5'Ger.
ILIA PROBE: Kirk unit, disclose the data. Why has the Creator not responded?
KIRK: No. ...Secure all stations, clear the bridge.
(the Enterprise suffers a astringent shock)
SULU: Clear the bridge, Captain?
KIRK: That was the order, Mister Sulu. Clear the bridge.
SULU: Aye sir.
(the Enterprise is rocked by more than astringent shocks)
McCOY: Your kid is having a tantrum, Mister Spock.
ILIA PROBE: V'Ger requires the information.
KIRK: Bridge. Secure all stations. Motility out!
McCOY: Jim! What the hell kind of strategy is this?
DECKER: All ship'due south functions going to automatic, Captain.
KIRK: If Five'Ger destroys the Enterprise, all the data that V'Ger requires will too be destroyed.
ILIA PROBE: It is illogical to withhold the required information. ...Kirk unit. Kirk unit, why exercise yous not disembalm the information?
KIRK: If V'Ger's gonna to destroy all the carbon units on the third planet...
ILIA PROBE: They have repressed the Creator.
KIRK: ...the data will not be disclosed.
ILIA PROBE: V'Ger needs the information.
KIRK: Then V'Ger must withdraw all the orbiting devices.
ILIA PROBE: V'Ger will comply if the carbon units will disclose the information.
McCOY: It learns fast, doesn't it?
SPOCK: Captain, the vessel, V'Ger, manifestly operates from a central brain complex.
KIRK: The orbiting devices will be controlled from that point.
SPOCK: Precisely.
KIRK: The carbon unit'due south information cannot be disclosed to 5'Ger's probe, but but to 5'Ger directly.
DECKER: Forward motion, Captain!
SPOCK: Tractor axle.
DECKER: Helm, what's the next move?
KIRK: The question is, Mister Decker, is there a adjacent motion? ...Resume duty stations.
DECKER: All personnel resume stations.
KIRK: Well, Mister Decker, it seems my bluff has been chosen.
DECKER: I'thousand agape our hand is pretty weak, Captain.
KIRK: Mister Chekov, when practise those devices achieve final position?
CHEKOV: Twenty-vii minutes. Mark.
KIRK: Engineering.
SCOTT (on intercom): Scott here.
KIRK: Mister Scott, be prepared to execute Starfleet society two zero zippo v.

[Enterprise engineering science]

SCOTT: When, sir?

[Enterprise span]

KIRK: On my command.

[Enterprise engineering]

SCOTT: Yep sir.
ROSS: Why has the Captain ordered self-destruct, sir?
SCOTT: I would say, lass, because he thinks, he hopes, that when we go up ...we'll have the intruder with us.
ROSS: Will we?
SCOTT: When that much matter and anti-matter are brought together, oh yes, we will, indeed.

[Enterprise bridge]

CHEKOV: Eighteen minutes to device activation.
DECKER [OC]: Give me an all-decks read-out.
UHURA: Starfleet has been apprised of our state of affairs, Helm.
COMPUTER [OC]: Coiffure status is one seven 2 at duty stations, two four 8 off duty, eleven in sickbay, all minor, Over.
SULU: Tractor beam remains constant.
DIFALCO: Nosotros are seventeen kilometres inside the vessel.
DECKER: Engineering, show me your readings.
SCOTT (on intercom): Deck four, that temperature should read 1 nothing one three degrees.
DECKER [OC]: Please confirm.
KIRK: Spock. ...Spock?
(as Spock turns Kirk and McCoy see that he is crying)
KIRK: Non for us?
SPOCK: No, Captain, not for us, ...for V'Ger. ...I weep for V'Ger, equally I would for a brother. As I was when I came aboard, so is V'Ger now, empty, incomplete, ...searching. Logic and knowledge are not enough.
McCOY: Spock, are you saying that you've found, what you needed, merely Five'Ger hasn't?
DECKER: What would 5'Ger need to fulfil itself?
SPOCK: Each of us, at some time in our life, turns to someone, a male parent, a brother, a god and asks 'Why am I hither?' 'What was I meant to be?' V'Ger hopes to touch its Creator to find its answers.
KIRK: 'Is this all that I am? Is at that place nothing more?'
DIFALCO: Helm!
SULU: Forward movement slowing, Captain.
SPOCK: Captain, I believe that is our destination.
CHEKOV: I read an oxygen gravity envelope forming outside the Enterprise!
SULU: Forward motility stopped.
ILIA PROBE: V'Ger.
UHURA: Sir, I take located the source of Five'Ger's radio signal, it's direct ahead.
SPOCK: That transmitter is a vital link betwixt V'Ger and it'southward Creator.
ILIA PROBE: The carbon units will now provide V'Ger the required information.
KIRK: Spock, Bones. Mister Decker. ...I will contact you every five minutes.
DECKER: Captain, ...I'd like to go on.
KIRK: Mister Sulu, you have the conn.

[Outside Enterprise - with a 'Behemothic's Causeway' leading away]

ILIA PROBE: V'Ger!

[Voyager VI platform]

KIRK: V-G-E-R ...5-O-Y-A-G-E-R ...Voyager! ...Voyager Half-dozen?
DECKER: NASA. National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Jim, this was launched more than 3 hundred years agone.
KIRK: Voyager serial, designed to collect data and transmit it back to Earth.
DECKER: Voyager VI ...disappeared into what they used to call a black hole.
KIRK: It must take emerged sometime on the far side of the Galaxy and roughshod into the machine'due south planet's gravitational field.
SPOCK: The automobile inhabiters found information technology to be ane of their ain kind, primitive yet kindred. They discovered its elementary twentieth-century programming. Collect all data possible.
DECKER: Larn all that is learnable. Render that data to its Creator.
SPOCK [OC]: Precisely, Mister Decker, the machines interpreted information technology literally.
SPOCK: They built this entire vessel so that Voyager could fulfil it'due south programming.
KIRK: And on its journey back information technology amassed so much noesis, it accomplished consciousness itself. It became a living thing.
ALIEN MACHINE VOICE [OC]: (unintelligible)
ILIA PROBE: Kirk unit, Five'Ger awaits the information.
KIRK: Enterprise, order up the ship'due south computer library of records, on the late twentieth-century NASA probe, Voyager 6.

[Enterprise bridge]

KIRK (on intercom): We want the onetime NASA code betoken that instructs the probe to transmit its death.

[Voyager Half dozen platform]

KIRK: ...and fast, Uhura, fast!
UHURA (on intercom): Yeah sir.
DECKER: That's what it's been signalling, its readiness to transmit its data.
KIRK: And there'southward no one on Earth who could recognise the sometime indicate and ship a response.
McCOY: The Creator does not reply.
KIRK: V'Ger, ...Five'Ger, ...V'Ger, ...we are the Creator.
ILIA PROBE: That is not possible. Carbon units are not true lifeforms.
KIRK [OC]: We will prove it. We will make it possible for you to consummate your programming. Only the Creator could reach that. ...Enterprise?

[Enterprise bridge]

UHURA: We accept just received the response code, Helm.

[Voyager Vi platform]

KIRK: Fix the Enterprise transmitter on appropriate frequency, and transmit the code at present.
UHURA (on intercom): Transmitting.
DECKER: Five zilch four, three two nine, three one seven, 5 ane zero, and the final sequence...
KIRK: That should trigger Voyager'south transmitter.
SPOCK: Voyager is not transmitting its information, Captain.
ILIA PROBE: The Creator must join with V'Ger.
KIRK: Uhura! Repeat the final sequence.
ILIA PROBE: The Creator must bring together with V'Ger.
SPOCK: Voyager is not transmitting, Captain, considering it did non receive the last sequence.
McCOY: Jim, nosotros're down to 10 minutes.
KIRK: Enterprise, stand by. The antenna leads are melted away.
SPOCK: Yes Captain, merely now. By V'Ger itself.
KIRK: Why?
SPOCK: To prevent reception.
KIRK: Of course.
DECKER: To bring the Creator here, to terminate transmitting the code in person, ...to affect the Creator.
McCOY: To capture God! 5'Ger's going to be in for one hell of a disappointment.
SPOCK: Maybe not. ...Captain, ...Five'Ger must evolve. Its knowledge has reached the limits of this universe and it must evolve. What information technology requires of its God, Dr. is the answer to its question, 'Is there nothing more?
McCOY: What more than is there than the universe, Spock?
DECKER: Other, dimensions, college levels of beings.
SPOCK: The existence of which cannot be proved logically, therefore 5'Ger is incapable of believing in them.
KIRK: What V'Ger needs in order to evolve is a human quality. Our capacity to leap beyond logic.
DECKER: And joining with its Creator might accomplish that.
McCOY: Yous hateful that this machine wants to physically join with a human? Is that possible?
DECKER: Let' observe out.
KIRK: Decker!
DECKER: I'm gonna key the sequence through the ground-test computer.
McCOY: Decker! You don't know what that will practice to you.
DECKER: Yes, I do, Medico.
KIRK: Decker, don't!
DECKER: Jim, I want this. As much as y'all wanted the Enterprise, I want this.
(the 'Ilia probe' merges into the incandescent deject enveloping Decker)

[Enterprise bridge]

SULU: Captain.
KIRK: Spock! Did nosotros just run across the beginnings of a new lifeform?
SPOCK: Yes, Helm, we witnessed a nascence. Possibly a next footstep in our evolution.
KIRK: I wonder.
McCOY: Well, it's been a long time since I delivered a baby, and I promise we got this one off to a good start.
KIRK: I hope and so, as well. I remember we gave it the ability to create its own sense of purpose. Out of our ain human weaknesses, and the bulldoze that compels united states of america to overcome them.
McCOY: And a lot of foolish man emotions. Correct, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: Quite true, Md. Unfortunately information technology will take to deal with them as well.
UHURA: A communication from Starfleet. They're requesting damage and injury reports and complete vessel status.
KIRK: Written report two casualties. Lieutenant Ilia. Captain Decker.
UHURA [OC]: Aye sir.
KIRK: Correction! They're non casualties. They are... List them as missing. Vessel status, fully operational.
UHURA [OC]: Aye sir.
KIRK: Mister Scott! Shall nosotros give the Enterprise a proper shakedown?
SCOTT: I would say information technology's time for that, sir, aye. We can accept you back on Vulcan in for days, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: Unnecessary, Mister Scott. My job on Vulcan is completed.
KIRK: Mister Sulu, ahead, warp one.
SULU [OC]: Warp one, sir.
DIFALCO [OC]: Heading, sir?
KIRK: Out there. Thataway!

THE Man Hazard IS Just BEGINNING.
