But, like so many of us... it does not know what. The carbon units know why the creator has not responded. Disclose the information. Not until V'Ger withdraws the devices orbiting the third planet. Captain. I'm losing Starfleet. Interference from V'Ger. Kirk unit, disclose the information. Why has the creator not responded? No. Secure all stations. Clear the bridge. Clear the bridge, Captain? - That was the order, Mr. Sulu. - Aye, sir. Your child is having a tantrum, Mr. Spock. V'Ger requires the information. Bridge, secure all stations. Move out. Jim, what the hell kind of strategy is this? All ship's functions going to automatic, Captain. If V'Ger destroys the Enterprise... the information that V'Ger requires will also be destroyed. It is illogical to withhold required information. Kirk unit! Kirk unit. Why do you not disclose information? Because V'Ger's going to destroy all carbon units on the third planet. They have repressed the creator. The information will not be disclosed. V'Ger needs the information. Then V'Ger must withdraw all the orbiting devices. V'Ger will comply... if the carbon units will disclose the information. It learns fast, doesn't it? Captain, the vessel-- V'Ger-- obviously operates from a central brain complex. The orbiting devices would be controlled from that point, then. Precisely. The carbon unit's information cannot be disclosed to V'Ger's probe... but only to V'Ger directly. Forward motion, Captain. Tractor beam. Captain, what's the next move? The question is, Mr. Decker... is there a next move? Resume duty stations. All personnel, resume stations. Well, Mr. Decker, it seems my bluff has been called. I'm afraid our hand is pretty weak, Captain. Mr. Chekov, when do those devices reach final position? Twenty-seven minutes. Mark. - Engineering. - Scott here. Mr. Scott, be prepared to execute Starfleet order 2-0-0-5. When, sir? On my command. Aye, sir. Why has the captain ordered self-destruct, sir? I would say, lass, because he thinks-- he hopes that when we go up, we'll take the intruder with us. Will we? When that much matter and antimatter are brought together... oh, yes, we will indeed. Eighteen minutes to device activation, sir. Gravity control, get me an all-decks readout. Starfleet has been apprised of our situation, Captain. Crew status is 1-7-2 at duty stations... 2-4-8 of fi-duty... 11 in sickbay 0-9'er. Tractor beam remains constant. We are 1 7 kilometers inside the vessel. Engineering, show me your pylon stress readings. Deck4, that temperature should read 1-0-1-3 degrees. Please confirm. Spock. Mr. Spock. Not for us. No, Captain, not for us. For V'Ger. I weep for V'Ger as I would for a brother. As I was when I came aboard... so is V'Ger now-- empty, incomplete and searching. Logic and knowledge are not enough. Spock, are you saying that you found what you needed... but V'Ger hasn't? What would V'Ger need to fulfill itself? Each of us... at some time in our lives, turns to someone-- a father, a brother, a god... and asks... ''Why am I here? What was I meant to be?'' V'Ger hopes to touch its creator... to find its answers. ''Is this all that I am? Is there nothing more?'' Captain. Forward motion slowing, Captain. Captain, I believe that is our destination. I read an oxygen-gravity envelope forming outside the Enterprise. Forward motion stopped, Captain. V'Ger. Sir, I've located the source of V'Ger's radio signal. It's directly ahead. That transmitter is a vital link between V'Ger and its creator. The carbon units will now provide V'Ger... with the required information. Mr. Spock. Bones. Mr. Decker, I will contact you every five minutes. Captain. I'd like to go along. Mr. Sulu, you have the com. V'Ger. ''V... G-E-R.'' V'Ger. ''V-O-Y-A-G-E-R.'' Voyager. Voyager 6. NASA.
