Star Trek Page #8

- How are we Scotty?

- Unbelievably sir. The ship is in position.

Whatever happens Mr. Sulu, if you

think you have the tactical advantage

you fire on that ship even if we're still

on board. That's an order.

Yes, sir.

Otherwise we'll contact the Enterprise

when we're ready to be beamed back.

Good luck.

- I will be back.

- You better be.

- I'll be monitoring your frequency.

- Thank you, Nyota.

- So her first name's Nyota?

- I have no comment on the matter.

Oky doky then. If theres any common

sense in the design of the enemy's ship

I should be putting you somewhere in the

cargo bay, shouldn't be a soul in site.

Energize.

Captain, we have Starfleet officers

aboard the ship.

- One of them is Vulcan.

- No.

Ayel!

- I'll cover ya.

- Are you certain?

Yeah, I've gotcha.

Do you know where it is?

The black hole device?

And captain Pike.

Move.

They have activated the drill.

Communication and transportation are inoperative.

Sulu, please tell me you have them.

Otherwise we won't be

able to beam them back.

Kirk and Spock are on their own now.

I foresee a complication. The design of this ship

is far more advanced than I have anticipated.

Voice print and face recognition

analysis enabled.

Welcome back ambassador Spock.

That's weird.

Computer, what is your manufacturing origin?

Star date 2387. Commissioned by the

Vulcan Science Academy.

It appears that you have been keeping

important information from me.

You'll be able to fly this thing, right?

Something tells me I already have.

- Good luck.

- Jim.

The statistical likelihood that our

plan will succeed is less than 4,3%.

I will work.

In the event that I don't return

please tell lt. Uhura ...

Spock, it'll work.

Fascinating.

Startup sequence initiated.

Nero, order your men to disable

the drill or I will ...

I know your face from Earth's history.

James T. Kirk was considered

to be a great man.

He went on to captain the USS

Enterprise. But that was another life.

A life I will deprive you of just like

I did your father.

Captain Nero. The Vulcan ship's been

taken. The drill has been destroyed.

Spock! Spock!

- Open a channel.

- Yes, sir.

Spock, I knew I should have

killed you when I had the chance.

I hereby confiscate this illegally

obtained ship

and order you to surrender your

vessel. No terms.

That ship ... take it out.

- Sir, if you ignite the red matter..

- I want the Spock dead now!

- He went to warp.

- Go after him.

Yes, sir.

Your species is even weaker

than I expected.

You can't even speak.

What?

I got your gun.

What's he doing?

Ambassador Spock, you are

on a collision course.

Fire everything.

Incoming missiles. If the ship is hit,

the red matter will be ignited.

Understood.

Captain, I've picked up another ship.

- What are you doing here?

- Following orders.

Enterprise now!

Nice timing Scotty.

I've never beamed three people

from two targets

onto one pad before.

- Jim. - Bones.

-I've got him.

That was pretty good.

Captain, the enemy ship is loosing

power. They're shields are down.

- Hail them now.

- Aye.

This is captain James T. Kirk

of the USS Enterprise.

Your ship is compromised. You're

too close to the singularity

to survive without assistance

which we are willing to provide.

Captain, what are you doing?

Showing them compassion may be the only way

to make peace with Romulus, Spock.

It's logical, Spock.

Thought you'd like that.

No, not really. Not this time.

I would rather suffer the end of

Romulus a thousand times,

I would rather die in agony than

accept assistance from you.

You've got it.

Arm phasers. Fire everything we've got.

Yes, sir.

- Sulu, let's go home.

- Yes, sir.

- Why aren't we at warp?

- We are, sir.

Kirk to engineering.

Get us out of here, Scotty.

You bet your ass captain.

Captain, we're caught in

the gravity well. It's got us.

Go to maximum warp. Push it!

I'm giving it all she's got captain.

All she's got isn't good enough.

What else you got?

Ok, if we eject the core and detonate

the blast could be enough to push us away.

I can't promise anything though.

Do it! Do it! Do it!

- Clear the area. Go!

- Yes, sir.

Father?

I am not our father.

There are so few Vulcans left we

cannot afford to ignore each other.

Then why did you send Kirk aboard when

you alone could have explained the truth?

Because you needed each other.

I could not deprive you of the revelation

of all that you can accomplish together.

Of a friendship that will define you both.

In ways you cannot yet realize.

How'd you persuade him to

keep your secret?

He inferred that universe

ending paradoxes would ensue

should he break his promise.

You lied?

- Oh. I implied.

- A gamble?

An act of faith.

One I hope you will repeat in

the future in Starfleet.

In the face of extinction it is only

logical I resign my Starfleet commission

and help rebuild our race.

And yet you can be in two places at once.

I urge you to remain in Starfleet.

I've already located a suitable planet

on which to establish a Vulcan colony.

Spock, in this case do yourself a favor

put aside logic, do what feels right.

Since my customary farewell

would appear awfully self serving

I shall simply say good luck.

This assembly calls captain

James Tiberius Kirk.

Your inspirational valor and supreme

dedication to your comrades

is in keeping with the highest

traditions of service.

And reflect at most credit to yourself,

your crew and the Federation.

It is my honor to award you

with this commendation.

By Starfleet order 28455, you are

hereby directed to report to admiral Pike

USS Enterprise, for duty as his relief.

I relieve you, sir.

I am relieved.

- Thank you, sir.

- Congratulations, captain.

Your father would be proud of you.

Thrusters on full.

Firing thrusters and impulse

engines at your command, sir.

Weapon systems and shields on standby.

Dock control reports ready, captain.

Bones.

Buckle up.

Scotty, how we doin'?

Dilithium chambers at maximum captain.

Get down!

Mr. Sulu, prepare to engage thrusters.

Permission to come aboard, captain.

Permission granted.

As you have yet to select a first officer,

respectfully I would like to submit

my candidacy.

Should you desire I can provide

character references.

It would be my honor commander.

Maneuvering thrusters Mr. Sulu.

- Thrusters on standby.

- Take us out.

Aye aye, captain.
