I've plotted the storm's path. Mr. Numny. Main screen projection. [Sulu] On its present course, it will hit Memory Alpha as it did us. Lieutenant, warn Memory Alpha of the proximity of that phenomena. Give me an E.T.A. for its possible impact. I cannot, sir. It has the ability to change speed. I'm unable to establish contact with the planetoid. I'm hailing on all frequencies. No response. It is of little consequence. Memory Alpha has no protective shields. - No shields? - None, Captain. When the library complex was assembled, shielding was considered inappropriate to its totally academic purpose. Since the information on the planet is available to everyone, special protection was deemed unnecessary. Wonderful. I hope the storm is aware of that rationale. Completing approach to planetoid. It is already over Memory Alpha, Captain! Its speed is incredible! It's hitting the planetoid! - Are we within orbit range, Mr. Chekov? - Making final approach. Lieutenant, warn them-- I'm sorry, sir. I can't break through this interference. Mr. Spock, how many people are on Memory Alpha? It varies with the number of scholars, researchers, and scientists... from various Federation planets who are using the complex. [Chekov] Captain, we are within orbit range. - Lock into orbit. - Aye, sir. [Sulu] It is leaving Memory Alpha. [Spock] Sensors give no readings of generated energy... from Memory Alpha, Captain. - Any life readings? - None. Let's find out what's going on down there. Kirk to Engineering. Mr. Scott, report. Kirk to Engineering! Mr. Scott! Where the devil is he? Scotty, report to the bridge. Report to the bridge. Have the transporter room stand by. I'm taking a landing party down. Scott here. Scotty, where've you been? Where are you? - In the sickbay. - Are you sick? Oh, no. I was just checkin' on the lass. She's going to be fine. There's nothing wrong. I'm relieved to hear your prognosis, Mr. Scott. Is the doctor there, or will I find him in Engineering? - McCoy here, Jim. - Doctor, how's the girl? I think she's in good shape. Well, Mr. Scott seems to agree with you. The two of you meet me in the transporter room on the double. [Door Opens, Closes] [Kirk] Captain 's log, supplemental: Star date 5725. 6. The storm has cleared Memory Alpha. It is heading away at incredible speed. We have been unable to make contact with the planetoid. Its silence is ominous. We are beaming down to investigate. Somehow I find transporting into the darkness unnerving. Scotty, can you get us some more light? I'm afraid this light'll have to do, Captain. The generator is inoperative. - Damage report, Spock. - A disaster for the galaxy, Captain. The central brain is damaged. The memory core is burned out. The loss to the galaxy may be irretrievable. [ Gasps ] Captain! Getting a very faint life reading... in the immediate vicinity, Captain. Locate him and keep him alive. We need information about this enemy. Over here, Captain! [ Alien Croaking ] - Bones, can you do something? - Not a thing, Jim. [Croaking Continues] The same garbled sounds Lt. Romaine made... when she fainted after the storm. - Are you sure? - Absolutely sure. - Kirk to Enterprise. - Sulu here. - Beam down Lt. Romaine immediately. - Yes, sir. [ Croaking Continues ] Spock, have you seen anything like that before? Negative. - Bones? - She's dead. - What did she die of? - Severe brain hemorrhaging... due to distortion of all neural systems, dissolution of autonomic nervous system. All basic personality factors, Captain. The attack was thorough. What did the others die of? Each had a different center of brain destroyed, cause unknown. A different center of the brain, you say? Yes. I can be more detailed when we return to the ship and use the ship's computers. Mira! The captain has some questions. Yes, Captain.
