transporter officer?
Well, the pattern of cellular
disruption was the same,
but as to the cause,
your guess is as good as mine.
My guess, Doctor,
would be valueless.
I suggest we refrain from guessing
and find some facts.
Spock out.
The power
of this intruder
to disrupt
every cell in a body...
combined with the almost
inconceivable power
required to hurl
the Enterprise such a distance
speak of
a very high culture
and a very great danger.
You mean that one of
the people who threw us
1 ,000 light-years
away from that planet
is on board
and killing our people?
[Spock]A reasonable
assumption, Mr. Scott.
Then you're right,
Mr. Spock.
Watkins must've
been murdered.
I sent him in to check
the matter/antimatter reactor.
There are no
exposed circuits there.
It couldn't have been
anything he touched.
If there are more of
those beings on that planet,
the captain and the others
are in very great danger.
[Beeping]
I am unarmed.
- Who are you?
- That is not important.
You are Lieutenant Sulu.
You were born
on the planet Earth.
You're helmsman
for the Enterprise.
How do you know?
Where did you get this information?
-Are you from this planet?
- I am from here.
Then the planet
is hollow.
Who killed
Lieutenant D'Amato?
All right. The captain will
want to talk to you. That way.
Move!
You do not understand.
- I have come for you.
- What do you want?
I want to touch you.
You were on
the Enterprise.
Keep back!
Stop or I'll shoot!
I don't want to
have to kill a woman!
Captain Kirk!
Captain Kirk!
Aah!
Hold it!
Who are you?
I am for him.
I am for Lieutenant Sulu.
Don't let her
touch you, Captain!
That's how D'Amato died!
Phasers won't stop her!
I am for Lieutenant Sulu.
Please, I must touch him.
How can you destroy
others and not me?
I don't want to destroy.
I don't want to.
Who are you?
Why are you trying to kill us?
- Only Sulu.
- [Whirring]
I mean you no harm.
Are there men
on this planet?
Please,
I must touch him.
I am for
Lieutenant Sulu.
No!
Bones, did you see that?
Maybe Spock was wrong.
Perhaps this is
a ghost planet.
Well, all I know is she almost
made a ghost out of Sulu.
His shoulder,
where she touched it,
every cell's been
exploded from within.
If she'd gotten
a good grip--
How can such people be,
Captain?
Such evil...
and she's so--
so beautiful.
Yes, I know.
Security sweeps of all decks
are negative, Mr. Spock.
No evidence of intruder.
Cancel red alert,
but maintain increased security.
Aye, sir. All decks,
cancel red alert.
Maintain
increased security.
Please update our subspace
report to Starfleet
to include security search--
results negative.
How did she
get off the ship, sir?
Presumably
the same way she got on.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Spock...
what are the chances
of the captain...
and the others
being alive?
Lieutenant, we are not
engaged in gambling.
We are proceeding
in the only logical way
to return to the place
they were last seen,
and factually ascertain
whether or not they still live.
Yes, Mr. Spock.
Mr. Spock, speed is
increased to warp 8.8.
- Bridge to Engineering.
- Scotty here. I see it.
It's a power surge.
I'm working on it.
Reduce speed until
I locate the trouble.
Very well.
Reduce speed to warp 7.
Aye, sir, warp 7.
Mr. Spock...
our speed is increased
to warp 8.9 and climbing.
Bridge to Engineering.
Negative effect on power reduction.
Speed is still increasing.
Aye, Mr. Spock,
and I found out why.
The emergency
bypass control
of the matter/antimatter
integrator is fused.
It's completely useless.
The engines are running wild.
No way to get at them.
We should reach maximum overload
in 1 5 minutes.
I would calculate
1 4.87 minutes, Mr. Scott.
Those few seconds will
not make any difference
because you and I
and the rest of the crew
will no longer be here
to bandy it back and forth.
This thing
is going to blow up,
and there's nothing in
the universe
