long way for the power of Genesis. And what do I find? A weakling human, a Vulcan boy and a woman. My Lord, we are survivors of a doomed expedition. This planet will destroy itself soon. The Genesis experiment is a failure. A failure? The most powerful destructive force ever created. You will tell me the secret of the Genesis torpedo. I have no knowledge. Then I hope pain is something you enjoy. - I ordered no interruptions. - But, sir... - Federation Starship approaching. - Bring me up. Grissom, this is Enterprise calling. Do you read? Grissom, this is Enterprise calling. Please come in. Battle Alert! Grissom, this is Enterprise. Admiral Kirk calling Captain Esteban or Lieutenant Saavik. - Report status. - We are cloaked. Enemy closing on impulse power. Range five thousand kellicams. Good! This is just the turn of luck I have been waiting for. - Nothing on my scanner, sir. - Short-range scan, Mr Chekov. Put it on visual, Mr Sulu. Range three thousand kellicams. Steady. Continue on impulse power. Range two thousand kellicams. Stand by to transfer energy to weapons. At my command. There! That distortion, see it? Yes, sir. It's getting larger as we close in. Firing range, sir. Gunner... Target engine only. Understood? Understood clearly, sir. - Opinion, Mr Sulu. - I think it's an energy surge. - Enough energy to hide a ship? - A cloaking device. Red Alert, Mr Scott. One thousand kellicams and closing. All power to the weapons systems. Wait. Wait. No shields? If my guess is right, they'll have to de-cloak before they can fire. May all your guesses be right. - Klingon Bird of Prey. Arming. - Fire, Mr Scott! Good shooting, Mr Scott. Precautionary, Mr Chekov, shields up. Emergency power to the thrusters! - Sir, the shield's non-responsive. - Scotty?. The automation system's overloaded. I didn't expect combat, you know. Fire! Emergency power. Prepare to return fire. Mr Scott, can you transfer power to phaser banks? I don't think so. They've knocked out the automation centre. - I've got no control over anything. - Mr Sulu? Nothing, sir. So...we're a sitting duck. Ready to fire emergency tube. Why haven't they finished us? They outgun me ten to one! My Lord. The enemy commander wishes a truce to confer. Put them on screen. This is Admiral James T. Kirk of the Federation Starship Enterprise. - The Genesis Commander himself. - A violation of treaty... ..between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, ..your presence here is an act of war. You have two minutes to surrender your crew and your vessel... - ..or we will destroy you. - He's hiding something. We may have dealt him a more serious blowthan I thought. - How can you tell that? - I trust my instincts. Admiral Kirk, this is your opponent speaking. Don't lecture me about treaty violations! In creating an ultimate weapon, the Federation has become criminals! It is not I who will surrender, it is you! On the planet below, I have three prisoners from the team who developed your doomsday weapon. If you don't surrender, I'll execute them as enemies of galactic peace! Who is this? How dare you take prisoners? Who I am is not important. That I have them is. You may speakto them. - Admiral, this is Lieutenant Saavik. - Saavik! - Is David with you? - Yes, and someone else. A Vulcan scientist of your acquaintance. This...Vulcan... Is he alive? He is not himself, but he lives. He's subject to rapid ageing, like this unstable planet. Hello, sir, it's David. I'm sorry I'm late. I should've known you'd come. It's true, this planet is unstable. It's gonna destroy itself within hours. David, what went wrong? - I went wrong. - I don't understand. I'm sorry, sir. Just don't surrender. Genesis doesn't work. I can't believe they'd kill us for it. Admiral, your friend is mistaken, I meant what I said. And to showthat my intentions are sincere, I shall kill one ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Перестройка на английском - текст Путёвка в жизнь на английском - текст Кандагар на английском - текст Преступление в Раю на английском - текст Бабуся на английском |
