Welcome to the world of Yonada. I can't say I think much of your welcome. Take them. You will kneel. She called this the world. These people don't know they're on a spaceship. They've been in flight 10,000 years. Maybe they don't realize it. Oh, oracle of the people, most perfect and wise, strangers have come to our world. They bear instruments we do not understand. Who are you? I am Captain Kirk of the star ship Enterprise. This is my medical officer, Dr. McCoy. My first officer, Mr. Spock. For what reason do you visit this world? We come in friendship. Then learn what it means to be our enemy before you learn what it means to be our friend. Spock. Dr. McCoy. Bones. Bones. Doctor must've received an excessively large electrical shock. No, that's not it. Nothing else could've caused this, Captain... At least nothing that has happened here. You're right, Spock. The shock is serious because of McCoy's weakened condition. May I ask precisely what is troubling the doctor? I don't think he would've told you himself, but I think you should know now. It's xeno-polycythemia. Yes. I know of it, Captain. Then you know that nothing can be done. Mmm. Bones. How is it? I'm all right. Are you all right, Mr. Spock? Very well, Doctor. The captain and I seem to have suffered no ill effects. Oh, that oracle really got to me. I must be especially susceptible to its magic spells. Spock knows. Well, we better get to the control room. Are you in any condition to get up? Don't worry. I can make it, Jim. Captain, informing these people they're on a ship may be in violation of the Prime Directive of Starfleet Command. No. The people of Yonada may be changed by the knowledge, but it's better than exterminating them. Logical, Captain. And the three billion on Daran Five. Also logical, Captain. Gentlemen, I believe we have a visitor. For strength. Many of us have felt the power of our oracle. This has been a benefit. It tastes like an ancient herb derivative. You are... not of Yonada. We're from outside your world. Where is outside? Up there. Outside, up there, everywhere. So they say, also. Many years ago... I climbed the mountains, even though it is forbidden. Why is it forbidden? I am not sure. But things... are not... as they teach us. For the world is hollow, and l... have touched the sky. Aah! What is it, Bones? There's something under the skin. He's dead. For the world is hollow, and I have touched the sky. He said it was forbidden to climb the mountains. Of course it is, because if you did, you'd touch the sky and find out that you were living on a big ball, not a planet, but a spaceship. And that knowledge seems to be forbidden. What happened? He just suddenly screamed in pain and died. Fetch the guard. Forgive him for he was an old man, and old men are sometimes foolish. But it is written that those of the people who sin or speak evil shall be punished. He served well for many years. Take him away gently. You do not seem well. It is distressing to me. Oh, no. I'm quite all right. Thank you. It is the will of the oracle that you now be treated as honored guests. You seem to be the special favourite. The young lady did show a marked preference for your company. Nobody can blame her for that, can they? Personally, I find the lady's taste questionable, but she obviously prefers you, and you obviously don't seem to mind. If you could arrange to be alone with the young lady, Spock and I would be left alone to find the power controls of this world. It is time to refresh yourselves. Thank you, Mr. Spock. To our good friends of Yonada. We are very interested in your world. That pleases us. Then you wouldn't mind if we looked around? Not at all. The people know of you now. [Coughing] Are you well enough to go about? Perhaps not. Then why not remain ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Белое солнце пустыни на английском - текст Друзья - Сезон 8 на английском - текст Американский пирог 4 на английском - текст Зелёный слоник на английском - текст Крулл на английском |
