to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. [ Thinking ] I'm alone on the Enterprise. I have searched the ship and still cannot find a trace of the crew... or an indication of how its disappearance was managed. The one thing that is obvious is that I suffered a memory lapse... during which time I bruised my arm. It is causing me some irritation. Gideon is contacting us, Mr. Spock. - Put it on the screen. - Aye, sir. Captain Kirk. This is Ambassador Hodin. The council is still awaiting your arrival. This is Mr. Spock, Ambassador Hodin. Captain Kirk was transported down minutes ago. - That's impossible. - I transported him myself. He never arrived. He was beamed directly to your council chambers. Please verify your coordinates. 8-7-5. 0-2-0. - 0-7-9. - Coordinates confirmed. We gave you the exact coordinates, which should have brought Captain Kirk directly to this very room. I am not questioning that, sir. If he is not here, that is your own responsibility, Mr. Spock, and that of your staff. I do not deny that, sir. I am not attempting to blame your personnel. We are glad to hear that. We shall enter it into the records of this most unfortunate event. Your Excellency, even with intricate machinery... as delicately balanced as ours, there is still a margin for error which must be dealt with. It is possible that Captain Kirk... materialized on some other part of Gideon. Let us hope it was on dry land. Your Excellency. May I cut right to the heart of the matter ? -I request permission to beam down. -Permission denied. Your Federation must be aware of our jealous tradition of isolation... from all contaminating contacts... with a violent nature of planets of other star systems. Your Excellency, the wars between opposing star systems... no longer prevail in our galaxy. If you will grant permission-- Of course, we shall institute a thorough search. In the meantime, I suggest that you look to your machinery. [ Sighs ] We must acknowledge once and for all that the purpose of diplomacy... is to prolong a crisis. Well, what are we waiting for ? We're not diplomats ! We are representatives of the Federation, Doctor. That doesn't mean we have to listen to some fool lecture by a diplomat ! Unfortunately, diplomacy is the only channel available at the moment. The planet is shielded from our sensors. We cannot scan it. We are unable to select coordinates. They must be provided by Gideon. We should never have agreed to such restrictions. We did not, Mr. Chekov. The Federation did. - Lieutenant Uhura. - Yes, Mr. Spock. Contact Starfleet immediately. Explain our problem. Request permission to use every means at our disposal... to press the search for Captain Kirk. -At once, sir. -Are there any other possibilities ? There are endless, Mr. Chekov. Well, where do we start, Mr. Spock ? Institute a sensor scan 360 degrees, one degree at a time. You mean you're gonna scan space for him ? - But, sir, that could take years. - The sooner you begin, the better. Aye, sir. [Door Opens] Who are you ? Odona ! Yes, my name is Odona. Why did you bring me here ? What are you doing on my ship ? Is this entire ship yours ? Not my personal property, but I'm the captain. Oh, and you have it all to yourself? It seems, at the moment, we have it all to ourselves. Oh ! You're hurting me, Captain-- Kirk. I'm sorry. James Kirk. And I didn't bring you here. -If you didn't bring me-- -That's right. Who brought you here? I don't know. You-- What happened before you came here ? Try to remember. It's important. It seems I was standing in a-- Yes. I was standing in a large auditorium... crowded with people. Thousands pressed in against me. I could hardly breathe. I was fighting for oxygen, screaming to get out. Don't be afraid. I'm not, but you are troubled.
