our Vulcan exile.
Dr. McCoy, with his sense
of historical irony,
named our captured Klingon vessel.
And like those mutineers
of 500 years ago,
we, too, have a hard choice to make.
Dr. McCoy?
Aye, sir.
Mr. Scott?
Aye, sir.
Uhura?
Aye, sir.
Chekov?
Aye, sir.
Sulu?
Aye, sir.
Let the record show
that the commander and the crew
of the late Starship Enterprise
have voted unanimously
to return to earth
to face the consequences
of their actions
in the rescue of their
comrade, Captain Spock.
Thank you all.
Repair stations, please.
Mr. Scott.
Aye, sir?
When can we leave?
Give me one more day.
Damage control is easy.
Reading Klingon, that's hard.
You'd think they could send a ship.
It's bad enough to be court-martialed,
but to have to go home
in this Klingon flea trap...
We can learn from it.
It's got a cloaking device.
I just wish we could
cloak the stench.
Computer, resume testing.
Who said, "Logic is the cement
"of our civilization
with which we ascend from chaos"?
T'plana-hath, matron
of Vulcan philosophy.
What is the molecular formula
of sulfite crystals?
White queen to
section five, grid six.
Queen takes knight.
Rook takes queen. Checkmate.
What contribution to bioengineering
was made on Klendth?
The universal atmospheric
element compensator.
Starship sensors indicate
it is being pursued so closely,
it occupies the pursuer's space.
Identify object and its
cultural significance.
Klingon mummification glyph.
What were the principal
events on earth, 1987?
What was Kiri-kin-tha's law?
Nothing unreal exists.
Adjust the sine wave of
this magnetic envelope
so that antineutrons
can pass through.
How do you feel?
I do not understand the question.
What is it, Spock?
I do not understand
the question, mother.
But you're half human.
The computer knows that.
The question is irrelevant.
Spock, the retraining of your mind
has been in the Vulcan way,
so you may not understand feelings,
but as my son, you have them.
They will surface.
As you wish, since you value them,
but I cannot wait here to find them.
Why? Where must you go?
I must go to earth to offer testimony.
You do this for friendship.
I do it because I was there.
Spock...does the good of the many
outweigh the good of the one?
I would accept that as axiom.
Then you stand here alive
because of a mistake
made by your flawed,
feeling, human friends.
They have sacrificed their futures
because they believed
that the good of the one-you-
was more important to them.
Humans make illogical decisions.
They do, indeed.
Here it comes now.
What's causing that?
Their call's being carried
on a powerful amplification wave.
Can we isolate it?
Negative. It's impacting
on all our systems.
Yellow alert. Shields up.
Helm, reduce closing speed.
Thruster controls
have been neutralized.
Emergency thrusters.
No response, Captain.
Emergency lights.
Damage report.
All systems have failed.
We're functioning on reserve power.
Starfleet command, this is Saratoga.
Can you hear me? Come in, please.
Come in, please.
Thank you, sir.
Status report, Admiral.
Not good, Mr. President.
The probe is headed
directly toward us.
Its signal is damaging
everything in its path.
Klingons have lost two vessels.
Two starships and three smaller vessels
have been neutralized.
Neutralized? How?
We don't know.
Get me the Yorktown.
Emergency channel2130.
Code red.
It has been three hours
since our contact
with the alien probe.
All attempts at regaining power
have failed.
It's using forms of energy
our best scientists
do not understand.
Can you protect us?
We're launching everything we have.
Our chief engineer
is trying to deploy
a make shift solar sail.
We have high hopes
that this will, if successful,
generate power to keep us alive.
Systems report, communications.
Communications systems
all ready, sir.
Communications officer
as ready as she'll ever be.
Mr. Sulu?
