and Spock back up? We don't have the power. They'll come aboard a mass of dying flesh. Well, can we send the phasers down? There's nothing we can do. Nothing but watch them. He's skimmed the worst ones in history to face them. But they're not real, any more than that Lincoln or Surak. - What do the sensors read? - As life-forms. They are living beings. Could they be aliens projecting an illusion? The readings are those of humanoids. [Rock] Why do you hesitate? Do you wish further clarification? Your choice of action is unlimited, as is your choice of weapons. Should you wish to use any, you may fabricate anything you desire... out of what you can find around you. Captain? Mr. Spock and I refuse to participate. You will decide otherwise. [Rock Sizzling] Analysis, Spock. Why do they want us to fight? It may be exactly as explained, Captain. Our concept of good and evil is strange to them. Perhaps they wish to determine which is strongest. And they'll get their answers if it kills us. I'm afraid none of us may leave, gentlemen, until we do what it demands of us. Captain Kirk, may I speak with you? I quite agree with your attitude toward this charade. It's ridiculous to think that we should take part in it. What do you want? The same thing as you do-- to get out of here. I have no quarrel with you any more than you have with me. You're somewhat different... than the way history paints you, Colonel Green. History tends to exaggerate. I suggest we call a halt to this at once... and see if we can't find some way out of our difficulties. My associates are in full agreement with me. Captain... you were tricked into coming here, weren't you? So were we all. Where do you come from? I can't remember. Isn't that strange? My memory used to be quite remarkable. Well, wherever it was, I want to get back. So it seems to me, Captain, that we have a common cause, and our enemy is that creature. What do you propose? [Green] That we combine forces, and reason some way to overcome it. You were notorious, Colonel Green, for striking... at your enemies in the midst of negotiating with them. [Green]But that was centuries ago, Captain, and not altogether true. There is much I would change now if I could. Don't let prejudice and rumors way you. Captain! How can we warn him? Anyone hurt? I fear my clothing is somewhat damaged, but how delightful to discover at my age that I can still wrestle. - Mr. Spock? - I'm all right, Captain. However, I suggest that we prepare ourselves for another attack. No, I think Colonel Green is right. That rock-like thing is our enemy, - not those illusions. - For an illusion, my opponent carried a considerable punch. Oh, I forgot. You consider me an illusion too. The captain speaks wisely. Those four are not our enemy. We should arrive together at a peaceful settlement. [Rock] lam disappointed. You display no interest in the honor we do you. We offer you an opportunity to become our teachers... by demonstrating whether good or evil is more powerful. [ Sizzling, Gasps ] You find my body heat distressing, Captain? You forget the nature of this planet. I must conclude that your species requires a cause to fight for. You may now communicate with your ship. - [ Communicator Chirps ] - Kirk to Enterprise. Enterprise, come in. Scott to Engineering. Report, Lieutenant. Emergency increasing, sir. Deterioration has started, sir. Give me that again, man. I cannot hear you. Mr. Scott, I have the captain. - Scotty, do you read me? - Mr. Scott, I have the captain. Engineering, check for radiation. - Get a repair crew on it at once. - I have already, sir. - We can't seem to stop it. - Is there a danger of detonation? - Estimating four hours, sir. - Red alert, Captain. - Mr. Scott is standing by. - What caused the red alert? - I don't know yet, sir. - Captain! - Scotty, beam us ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Чудо на 34-й улице на английском - текст Мятеж на Баунти на английском - текст Темный рыцарь на английском - текст Бетховен 5 на английском - текст Война и мир на английском |
