up fast. - I cannot. We have a complete power failure. We're on emergency battery power. - What happened? - I can't explain it, sir, but the matter and antimatter are in red zone proximity. - What caused that? - There's no knowing... and there's no stopping it either. The shielding is breaking down, and I estimate four hours before it goes completely. Four hours before the ship blows up. The estimate is quite correct. Your ship will blow itself to bits within four hours... unless you defeat the others before then. Is that cause enough to fight for? What if they defeat us? To save your ship and your crew, you have to win. Scotty, inform Starfleet Command. Disengage nacelles, Jettison if possible. Mr. Spock, assist them. Advise and analyze. - [ Communicator Chirps ] - Scotty! Scotty! Your communicators no longer function, Captain. You may proceed with the spectacle. James, the war is forced upon us. History repeats itself. Supplemental Log : Star date 5906.5. Engineer Scott reporting. The Enterprise is doomed to explode in two hours... if Captain Kirk is defeated by the enemy on the surface of the planet. The enormous power of the Enterprise has been neutralized... and we sit here watching, unable to assist. - Did you set the traps? - Yes. What'd you find out? What are they doing? They've done nothing. They've not armed themselves... nor prepared for any kind of defense. I say attack now and finish them. - With what? These? - Better than what they have. No, it's not advantage enough. I want to make sure the odds are in our favor. Overwhelm and devastate-- that's the way to get power... and to hold it, and I mean to do that. There's nothing immoral about fighting an illusion, Mr. Spock. We play their game-- fight, or lose the ship and all the crewmen aboard. And if they’re real, Captain? We'll use this... as a base. It's defensible. They can't approach without being seen. - Are we fighting a defensive war? - No, we don't have time. But if things go against us, I want a place to retreat. What I want to do now is scout them out, find their weaknesses and attack. - Mmm. Do you drink whiskey? - Occasionally. Why? Because you have qualities very much like those of another man... I admire greatly-- General Grant. Thank y-- [ Chuckles ] Thank you. Mr. Spock, we'll need weapons. The ancient Vulcan’s... - made something like a boomerang? - Yes, Captain. And slings and spears. Slings. Mr. President, you used a sling as a boy. - Indeed, I did. - [Spock] Captain. Logic dictates that we consider another course. We don't have much time, Spock. In my time on Vulcan, we also faced these same alternatives. We'd suffered devastating wars... which nearly destroyed our planet. Another was about to begin. We were torn. But out of our suffering some of us found the discipline to act. We sent emissaries to our opponents to propose peace. The first were killed, but others followed. Ultimately, we achieved peace, which has lasted since then. Circumstances were different then, Surak. The face of war has never changed, Captain. Surely it is more logical to heal than kill. I'm afraid that kind of logic doesn't apply here. That is precisely why we should not fight. My ship is at stake! I will not harm others, Captain. His convictions are most profound in this matter. So are mine, Spock. If I believed there was a peaceful way out of this-- The risk will be mine alone. If I fail, you lose nothing. After all, I'm no warrior. The captain knows that I have fought at his side before... and will do so now, if need be. However, l, too, am a Vulcan, bred to peace. Let him attempt it. You saw how treacherously they acted. Oh, yes. But perhaps it's our belief in peace... that is actually being tested. Hmm. I have no authority over you. You may do as you think best. [ Sighs ] Thank you.
