will be dissolved.
You'll no longer have us looking over your shoulder.
It's time for Earth to stand on its own.
We're ready.
You failed.
Decades of work have been lost.
Am I to be blamed for your incompetence?
Archer should've been killed.
You brought the humans into this.
I must leave Vulcan. My position here
has been compromised. What about me?
Not now.
Your disappearance would cause suspicion.
This is simply a minor delay.
The reunification of our people
is only a matter of time.I admit it. I've got
a few butterflies.
Okay... more than a few.
You haven't stopped talking about this for a week.
Well, it's different for you.
You grew up with the man. When I was seven,
my mom bought me a book about him:
Emory Erickson: Father of the Transporter.
I made her read it to me every night for a month.
That book is the reason I became an engineer.
Did I ever tell you about meeting Zefram Cochrane?
Yeah, only about 50 times.
Then you know I understand how you feel.
[ chuckling ]
You want a mirror?
You've got a mean streak
in you, you know that?
[ sighs ]
Nothing seems to be missing...
Hello, Emory.
Jonathan, look at you.
I always suspected
you'd be famous...
just didn't think that you'd be
more famous than me. [ cackles ]
Jon...
Good to see you.
Oh, we have a lot of catching up to do. Mm-hmm.
Do it later. I want a tour of this place.
My Chief Engineer, Commander Charles Tucker.
It's an honor.
Guess you and I'll be spending some time together.
I'm looking forward to it.
Danica, Trip...
I hope you don't mind
that I'm borrowing your ship, Captain.
As long as you return it in good condition.
Don't know if I can promise that.
When this test is over,
Enterprise and all of Starfleet could be obsolete.
Sounds like you're trying to put me out of a job.
[ laughter ]
It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near
And I will see my dream
come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna
hold me down no more
No, they're not
gonna change my mind
'Cause I've got faith
of the heart
I'm going where my heart
will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength
of the soul
No one's gonna bend
or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
I've got, I've got
I've got faith
Faith of the heart.
Captain's Log, supplemental:
In preparation for Dr. Erickson's experiment,
we've reduced power on all but essential areas of the ship.
Feel like some company?
We haven't talked much since Vulcan.
How are you holding up? I'm fine.
I've been seeing you by yourself a lot.
I'm reading the Kir'Shara.
How is it?
Interesting.
Interesting.
Extremely.
Look... I know
what you're going through.
Losing a family member... it's the toughest thing there is.
I see no point in discussing it.
It's in the past.
Your mother died a week ago. Talking won't change that.
It may change the way you feel about it.
I don't feel anything about it.
You can tell yourself that...
It's the truth.
You know, when Lizzie died... there were times
I wanted to just close up, retreat inside myself...
Trip, I appreciate what you're trying to do,
but it's not necessary.
You're fine?
Well...
if you ever do want to talk...
let me know.
I'll see you.
Sub-quantum teleportation...
you step on to a transporter on Earth...
a few seconds later, you're on Vulcan.
That's over 16 light-years. That's just for starters.
Theoretically, there's no limit to the distance.
One of the things we're here to test.
You tell me...
with that kind of technology
who'd have any use for a starship?
Maybe you will put me out of a job.
Dad...
Well, I wouldn't worry too much...
it's gonna take decades
to work out all the bugs.
But when we do, Starfleet's gonna look
a helluva lot different...
