wasting your time, Doctor. It is my time to waste, Ambassador. Doctor, the captain asked me to come here for safety. Safety? What is your estimate of our chances for survival, Doctor? That is the captain's responsibility, Ambassador. Captain, message from the Klingon ship. They're ordering us to stand by for boarding or be destroyed. They demand an immediate reply. They're trying to force a fight. Scotty, what's our energy status? 93% of impulse power, sir. We can still maneuver. Maneuver? Aye. We can wallow like a garbage's cow against a warp-driven star ship. Our shields will hold for a few passes, but without the matter- anti-matter reactor, we've no chance. Captain, can you not call Starfleet? And let the Klingons know they succeeded in wiping out our warp engines? Help could not arrive before the Enterprise was destroyed. Now that we are all about to die, I ask you once again to accept this necklace, and to wear it as a token of respect for the desperate wishes of your people and mine for peace. That's all you men of other worlds can speak of, duty and responsibility. We'll stall for time. Proceed on course and hope the Klingons can be bluffed, or that they're not prepared for a general war. Open a hailing frequency. Frequency open, sir. This is Captain James Kirk of the U.S.S. Enterprise on Federation business. Our mission is peaceful, but we're not prepared to accept any interference. Enterprise, prepare to be boarded or destroyed. I'd say our strategy wasn't totally effective. Captain, the Klingon ship is closing on an intercept course. 500,000 kilometres. Deflector shields up. Scotty, can you give me partial power on the phaser banks? No, sir, not a chance. 300,000 kilometres. I told you to stay in Sick Bay. I want to die with you. We're not going to die. Now get off the bridge. 100,000 kilometres. He's past us. All shields held. Mr. Sulu, bring her to 143 mark 2. Keep our forward shields to him. Here he comes again, sir. Stay with the controls. Keep our forward shields to him. Better than warp 7. Hard over, Sulu. Bring her around. He's going for our flank. Sulu! Sorry, Captain. She won't respond fast enough on impulse. He's past us again. Damage to number four shield. How bad? It will not withstand another full charge, Captain. I'm getting some very peculiar energy readings. He's paralleling us again. He seems to have broken off the attack. What sort of readings, Mr. Spock? She is the source. Elaan? The necklace. What kind of jewels are in this? They call them radans. The necklace is supposed to bring you luck. It is of little value. They are common stones. These are common stones? See, Captain? Here and here. Common stones? Now I see why the Klingons are interested in this system. May I have this? If I can be of any help, of course. You may have Just saved our lives. Mr. Spock, do you think Scotty could make use of dilithium crystals? No doubt, Captain. [Sulu] He's coming in again, sir. Mr. Sulu, prepare on my order to turn quickly to port. Try and protect the number four shield. Aye, sir. Now, Sulu. hard to port! Shields holding, but weakened, sir. Captain. Message coming in. Enterprise, our readings confirm your power extremely low, your shields buckling. This is your last chance to surrender. Captain, number four shield just collapsed. Impulse power down to 31%. Lieutenant Uhura, open a hailing frequency. Channel open, sir. This is Captain James Kirk of the United Spaceship Enterprise. May I request your terms for surrender? No terms. Surrender must be unconditional and immediate. Scotty, your estimate. We're fitting it now, sir, but we'll have to run tests to make sure. Test it in combat. Captain, these are crude crystals. There's no way to judge what the unusual shapes will do to the energy flow.
