Stardate 9521.6.
Captain's Log, U.S.S. Excelsior.
Hikaru Sulu commanding.
After three years,
I've concluded my first assignment
as master of this vessel,
cataloguing gaseous planetary
anomalies in Beta Quadrant.
We're heading home
under full impulse power.
I am pleased to report
that ship and crew have functioned well.
According to this, we've completed
our survey of the entire sector.
I have an energy wave
at 240 degrees mark 6 port, sir.
Visual.
My God.
Shields. Shields!
She's not answering her helm.
Starboard thruster.
Turn her into the wave.
Aye.
Quarter impulse power.
Damage report.
Checking all systems, Captain.
Don't tell me
that was any meteor shower.
Negative, sir.
The subspace shockwave
originated at bearing 3-2-3 mark 75.
Location...
It's Praxis, sir. It's a Klingon moon.
Praxis is their key
energy production facility.
Send to Klingon High Command.
"This is Excelsior,
a Federation starship.
"We have monitored
a large explosion in your sector.
"Do you require assistance?"
-Aye, sir.
-Mr Valtane, any more data?
Yes, sir. I've confirmed
the location of Praxis, but...
What is it?
I cannot confirm the existence of Praxis.
Onscreen.
Magnify.
Computer enhancement.
-Praxis?
-What's left of it, sir.
Captain,
I'm getting a message from Praxis.
Let's have it.
This is Brigadier Kerla
speaking for the High Command.
There has been an incident on Praxis.
However, everything is under control.
We have no need for assistance.
Obey treaty stipulations
and remain outside the neutral zone.
This transmission ends now.
"An incident"?
-Do we report this, sir?
-Are you kidding?
What are we doing here?
Maybe they're throwing us
a retirement party.
-That suits me. I just bought a boat.
-This had better be good.
I'm supposed to be chairing a seminar
at the Academy.
Captain, isn't this just for top brass?
If we're all here, where's Sulu?
Captain Sulu. On assignment.
Where's Spock?
This briefing is classified.
Ladies and gentlemen, the CinC.
As you were.
To break this information down
succinctly,
the Klingon Empire
has roughly 50 years of life left to it.
For full details,
I'm turning this briefing over
to the Federation's special envoy.
Good morning.
Two months ago, a Federation starship
monitored an explosion
on the Klingon moon Praxis.
We believe it was caused
by over-mining
and insufficient safety precautions.
The moon's decimation means
the deadly pollution of their ozone.
They will have depleted
their supply of oxygen
in approximately 50 Earth years.
Due to their enormous military budget,
the Klingon economy does not have
the resources
with which to combat this catastrophe.
Last month, at the behest
of the Vulcan ambassador,
I opened a dialogue with Gorkon,
Chancellor of the Klingon High Council.
He proposes to commence negotiations
at once.
Negotiations for what?
The dismantling of our space stations
and starbases along the neutral zone,
an end to almost 70 years
of unremitting hostility,
which the Klingons can no longer afford.
Bill, are we talking
about mothballing the Starfleet?
Well, I'm sure that our exploration
and scientific programmes
-would be unaffected, Captain, but...
-I must protest.
within Federation space is suicide.
Klingons would become
the alien trash of the galaxy,
and if we dismantle the fleet,
we'd be defenceless
before an aggressive species
with a foothold on our territory.
The opportunity here
is to bring them to their knees.
Then we'll be in a far better position
to dictate terms.
Sir?
Captain Kirk.
The Klingons
have never been trustworthy.
I'm forced to agree
with Admiral Cartwright.
This is a terrifying idea.
It is imperative that we act now
to support the Gorkon initiative
lest more conservative elements
persuade his empire
that it is better to attempt
a military solution and die fighting.
You, Captain Kirk,
are to be our first olive branch.
We have volunteered to rendezvous
with the Klingon vessel
which is bringing Chancellor Gorkon
to Earth
and to escort him safely
through Federation space.
Me?
Well, there are Klingons who feel
the same way about the peace treaty
as yourself and Admiral Cartwright,
but they'll think twice about attacking
the Enterprise under your command.
I have personally vouched for you
in this matter, Captain.
You have personally vouched?
You will extend Chancellor Gorkon
full diplomatic courtesy, Captain Kirk.
But a full ambassador
would be better equipped...
If there's no further business,
I wish you and your crew Godspeed.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
I remind you, this meeting is classified.
I don't know whether
to congratulate you or not, Jim.
I wouldn't.
We volunteered?
There is an old Vulcan proverb,
"Only Nixon could go to China."
That's arrogant presumption.
My father requested
that I open negotiations...
I know your father's the Vulcan
ambassador, for heaven's sake,
but you know how I feel about this.
They're animals.
Jim, there is an historic opportunity
here.
Don't believe them. Don't trust them.
-They are dying.
-Let them die.
Has it occurred to you that this crew
is due to stand down in three months?
We've done our bit for king and country.
Control, this is SD-103,
approach to spacedock. Over.
SD-103, you are clear
to deliver Captain Kirk and party
to NCC-1701 Alpha. Over.
Captain on the Bridge.
-As you were, Lieutenant...
-Valeris, sir.
We were told that you needed
a helmsman, so I volunteered.
Lieutenant, it is agreeable
to see you again.
Lieutenant was the first Vulcan
to be graduated
-at the top of her class at the academy.
-You must be very proud.
I don't believe so, sir.
She's a Vulcan, all right.
Let's get this over with.
Departure stations.
-Scotty.
-Aye, sir?
Did you find the engine room?
Right where I left it, sir.
Standby. Uhura, get me the dockmaster.
Control tower reading, sir.
Control, this is Enterprise
requesting permission to depart.
This is Control, Enterprise.
Permission to depart granted.
Thirty seconds for port gates.
Clear all moorings.
Awaiting port gates from this mark.
All moorings clear.
Aft thrusters.
Thank you, Lieutenant.
One-quarter impulse power.
Captain, may I remind you
that regulations specify thrusters
only while in spacedock?
Jim?
You heard the order, Lieutenant.
Aye, sir.
Captain's Log, Stardate 9522.6.
and I never will.
for the death of my boy.
It seems to me our mission
to escort the Chancellor
of the Klingon High Council
to a peace summit
is problematic at best.
Spock says this could be
an historic occasion,
and I'd like to believe him,
but how on earth can history
get past people like me?
Sorry.
You could have knocked.
We are almost at the rendezvous, sir.
