Star Trek Page #7

a ship that is travelling at warp speed?

I think that if that equation had been

discovered I'd have heard about it.

The reason you haven't

heard of it, Mr. Scott,

is because you haven't discovered it yet.

- Are you from the future?

- He is. I'm not.

Well that's brilliant. Do they still

have sandwiches there?

Well, she's a wee bit dodgy.

Shield emitters are totally bum jacked

as well as a few other things.

In you go.

So, the Enterprise has had it's

maiden voyage, has it?

She is one well endowed lady.

I'd like to get my hands on her ample nossels,

if you'd pardon the engineering parlance.

Except, the thing is, even if I believed you.

Where you're from, what I've done...

Which I don't, by the way. We're still

talking about beaming aboard the Enterprise

while she's travelling faster than light

without a proper receiving pad.

Get off there. It's not a climbing frame.

The notion of transwarp beaming

is like trying to hit a bullet with a smaller bullet

whilst wearing a blindfold, riding a horse.

What's that?

Your equation for achieving transwarp beaming.

You're out of it...

Imagine that. It never occurred to me to

think of space as the thing that was moving

You're coming with us, right?

No, Jim. That is not my destiny.

Your destiny ...

He. The other Spock is not gonna believe me.

Only you can explain what the hell has happened.

Under no circumstances can he be made aware

of my existence. You must promise me that.

So you're telling me I can't tell you that I'm following

you're own orders. Why not? What happens?

Jim, this is one rule you cannot break.

To stop Nero, you alone must

take command of your ship.

How? Over your dead body?

Preferably, not.

However, there is Starfleet regulation 619.

emotionally compromised by the mission at hand

must resign command.

So, you're saying that I have to

emotionally compromise you... guys?

Jim, I just lost my planet.

I can tell you, I am emotionally compromised.

What you must do is get me to show it.

Aye then lady. Live or die.

Let's get this over with.

You cannot come with me. Go on.

Coming back in time, changing history,

that's cheating.

A trick I learned from an old friend.

Live long and prosper.

Mr. Scott?

Mr. Scott, can you hear me?

Hold on a second.

No. No!

RELEASE VALVE.

Purifier release valve activated.

You all right? You all right?

My head's buzzing and I'm soaked,

but otherwise I'm fine.

Captain Spock, detecting unauthorized

access to water turbine control board

Bring up the video.

Security, seal the engineering deck.

We have intruders in turbine section 3.

Set phasers to stun.

Halt!

Come with me

cupcake!

Who are you?

- I am with him.

- He's with me.

We are travelling at warp speed. How

did you manage to beam aboard this ship?

You're the genius, you figure it out.

As acting captain of this vessel

I order you to answer the question.

Well I'm not telling, acting captain.

What now? That doesn't frustrate you, does it? My

lack of cooperation, that doesn't make you angry?

- Are you a member of Starfleet?

- Yes. Can I get a towel?

Under penalty of court martial I order

you to explain to me how you were able

to beam aboard the ship while moving at warp

- Well.

- Don't answer him.

You will answer me.

- I'd rather not take sides.

- What is it with you, Spock?

Your planet was just destroyed, your

mother murdered, and you're not even upset.

If you are presuming that these

experiences in any way impede

my ability to command this ship

you are mistaking.

And yet you were the one who said

fear was necessary for command.

I mean, did you his ship?

Did you see what he did?

- Yes, of course I did.

- So are you afraid or aren't you?

I will not allow you to lecture me

about the merits of emotion.

- Then why don't you stop me?

- Step away from me Mr. Kirk.

What is it like not to feel anger?

Or heartbreak?

Or the need to stop at nothing to avenge the

death of the woman who gave birth to you.

- Back away from me.

- You feel nothing!

It must not even compute for you.

You never loved her!

Spock.

Doctor, I am no longer fit for duty.

I relinquish my command based on the fact

that I have been emotionally compromised.

Please note the time and

date in the ship's log.

I like this ship.

You know it's exciting.

Well congratulations, Jim. Now we've got

no captain and no God damn first officer

to replace him.

Yeah we do.

- What?

- Pike made him first officer.

- You've gotta be kidding me.

- Thanks for the support.

I sure hope you know what you're

doing, captain.

So do I.

Attention, crew of the Enterprise,

this is James Kirk.

Mr. Spock has resigned commission

and advanced me to acting captain.

I know you're all expecting a regroup with the fleet,

but I'm ordering a pursuit course

of the enemy ship to Earth.

I want all departments at battle

stations and ready in 10 minutes.

Either we're going down or they are.

Kirk out.

Speak your mind Spock.

That would be unwise.

What is necessary is never unwise.

I am as conflicted as I once was as a child.

You will always be a child of two worlds.

I am grateful for this.

And for you.

I feel anger for the one who took mother's life.

An anger I cannot control.

I believe, as she would say ...

... do not try to.

You asked me once why I married your mother.

I married her because I loved her.

Whatever the case we need to

get aboard Nero's ship undetected.

Just can't just go in there guns blazing, Jim.

I'm telling you to ...

- Captain Kirk. Captain Kirk.

- Yes, Chekov. What is it?

Based on the Neradas course

from Vulcan

I have projected that Nero will

travel pass Saturn.

Like you said we need to stay

invisible to Nero or he'll destroy us.

If Mr. Scott can get us to warp factor 4

and if we drop out of warp behind one

of Saturn's moons, say Titan.

The magnetic distortion from

the planet's rings

will make us invisible to Nero's sensors.

From there, as long as the drill

is not activated

we can beam aboard the enemy ship.

Aye, that might work.

- Wait a minute kid, how old are you?

- 17, sir.

Oh good, he's 17.

Doctor.

Mr. Chekov is correct. I can

confirm his telemetry.

If Mr. Sulu is able to maneuver us into position

I can beam aboard Nero's ship,

steal back the black hole device

and if possible bring back captain Pike.

I won't allow you to do that Mr. Spock.

Romulans and Vulcans

share a common ancestry.

Our cultural similarities will make it easier

for me to access the ship's computer

and locate the device.

Also my mother was human. Which

makes Earth the only home I have left.

I'm coming with you.

I would cite regulation, but

I know you will simply ignore it.

See? We are getting to know each other.

Prepare the drill.

All stop in 3 ... 2 ... 1.

Gimme 1/4 impulse burst for 5 seconds.

I'll do the rest with thrusters.

On my mark.

Aye.

Fire.

Transporter room. We are in

position above Titan.

Really? Fine job Mr. Sulu, well done.
