Decker. I'm gonna key the final sequence through the ground test computer. You don't know what that'll do to you! Yes, I do, Doctor. Decker, don't. Jim, I want this. As much as you wanted the Enterprise, I want this. Captain. Spock, did we just see the beginning of a new life-form? Yes, Captain. We witnessed a birth. Possibly a next step in our evolution. I wonder. Well, it's been a long time since I delivered a baby. I hope we got this one off to a good start. I hope so too. I think we gave it the ability to create its own sense of purpose... out of our own human weaknesses... and the drive that compels us to overcome them. And a lot of foolish human emotions. Right, Mr. Spock? Quite true, Doctor. Unfortunately, it will have to deal with them as well. Interrogative from Starfleet. They're requesting damage and injury reports and complete vessel status. Report two casualties. Lieutenant Ilia. Captain Decker. - Aye, sir. - Correction. They're not casualties. They- List them as missing. Vessel status: fully operational. Aye, sir. I would say it's time for that, sir, aye. We can have you back on Vulcan in four days, Mr. Spock. Unnecessary, Mr. Scott. My task on Vulcan is completed. Mr. Sulu, ahead warp 1. - Warp 1, sir. - Heading, sir? Out there. That away.Viewer astern. Reverse angle on the view, Captain. Five hundred meters. Viewer ahead, sir. Hold relative position here. Mr. Spock! Can that be one of their crew? A probe from their vessel, Captain. Plasma-energy combination. Don't interfere with it. Absolutely, I will not interfere. No one interfere. It doesn't seem interested in us. Only the ship. Computer off. It's taking control of the computer. It's running our records-- Earth defenses, Starfleet strength. Ilia! Ilia! This is how I define ''unwarranted.'' Activate auxiliary computer circuits through manual shutoff. Captain, we've been seized by a tractor beam. Get someone up here to take the navigator's station. - Engineering. - Chief DiFalco, to the bridge. - Emergency power. - Going to full emergency. But, Captain, if we don't break free in 1 5 seconds, she'll burn up. We cannot break free, Captain. We have only a fraction of the power necessary. Engineering, belay that order. Disengage all main drive systems. Chief DiFalco, take over Lieutenant Ilia's station. DiFalco, disengage engine navigation relays now. Aye, sir. Force field circuits E-1 0 through 1 4... show ready for reactivation. Confirm, please. Scotty, drive systems should be free now. Commander? Ready to launch remote communications drone... with complete ship's records... including our present situation, sir. Delay launching as long as possible. Our drone can't escape as long as we're held in their tractor. Aye. Captain, a maximum phaser strike directly at the beam... might weaken it just enough for us to break free. Break free to where, Commander? Any show of resistance would be futile, Captain. We don't know that, Mr. Spock. Why are you opposed to trying? Why bring us inside? Not to destroy us. They could have done that outside. They still can. Curiosity, Mr. Decker. Insatiable curiosity. Captain, photic sonar readings indicate the aperture is closing. We're trapped, sir. Reverse angle on the viewer, Captain. Tractor beam has released us, Captain. Confirmed. Vessel is floating free. No forward momentum. Viewer ahead. Viewer ahead, sir. Maneuvering thrusters, Mr. Sulu. Ahead one third. Thrusters ahead one third. Let's take a look. Full sensor scan, Mr. Spock. They can't expect us not to look them over now. Now that we're looking down their throat. Right, now that we've got them just where they want us. It's closing up. Hold position. Captain. All our scans are being reflected back. Sensors are useless. Damn. What do you make of all this? I believe the closed orifice leads to another chamber... ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Семейное дело на английском - текст Снежная королева на английском - текст Полицейский из Беверли Хиллз 2 на английском - текст Война на английском - текст Вам и не снилось... на английском |
