Klingon.
- And the others?
A Terran and a Romulan.
The Federation will be sending
a rescue ship ofits own.
Plot course forNimbus Ill.
I've always wanted to engage
a Federation ship.
Get the damn light out of my face.
We had to send the shuttlecraft.
The transporter is non-operational.
- We have received new orders.
- I had my communicator.
- You forgot to take it with you.
- I wonder why I did that.
It appears shore leave has been
cancelled. Pack out your trash.
"All I ask is a tall ship
and a star to steer her by."
- Melville.
- John Masefield.
- Are you sure about that?
- I'm well-versed in the classics.
Then how come you don't know
"Row, row, row your boat"?
- Enterprise, you have control.
- We're doing just fine.
(SCOTTY): All I can say is
they don't make them like they used to.
(KIRK): You told me you could have
this ship operational in two weeks.
I think you gave me too much time.
How many times do I have to tell you?
The right tool for the right job.
I've never seen him happier.
(KIRK): Bridge...l hope.
I could use a shower.
Yes.
- Doesn't anything work on this ship?
- They can't send us out like this.
- Starfleet transmission on line.
- Put it on the view screen.
Can we have a little quiet, please?
Can you clear that up?
Can we have a little quiet?
- Bob!
- Jim!
- We are dressing informally.
- I'm on my way to the shower.
I apologise for cancelling shore leave.
We have a dangerous situation
out on Nimbus III.
On the Planet of Galactic Peace?
A terroristforce
has captured the only settlement.
They've taken hostages. The Klingon,
the Romulan, the Federation Consuls.
- The Enterprise is not up to specs...
- The Enterprise is a disaster.
- We have ships in the quadrant.
- Butno experienced commanders.
- I need Jim Kirk.
- Please!
Proceed to Nimbus Ill
and assess the situation.
Avoid a confrontation.
Above all, however,
get those hostages back safely.
- Have the Klingons responded?
- No, butyou can bet they will.
- Plot a course for Nimbus Ill, Mr Sulu.
- Course plotted.
I'm afraid the ship's problems
will have to be solved en route.
I'm counting on each one of you
to give his best. Let's go to work.
Jim, if you ask me,
and you haven't...
I think this is a terrible idea.
We're bound to bump into the Klingons.
- And they don't exactly like you.
- The feeling's mutual.
Engine room, we'll need all the power
you can muster, mister.
We'll beat those Klingon devils
even if I have to get out and push.
I hope it won't come to that.
- All possible speed, Mr Sulu.
- Aye, sir.
- What's the matter?.
- I miss my old chair.
The starship Enterprise
has been dispatched to Nimbus Ill.
Enterprise?
That's Kirk's ship!
Ifl could defeatKirk...
You would be the greatest warrior
in the galaxy.
Maximum speed! Success!
Captain's log: Stardate 84...
Captain's log: Stardate 84...
- Good morning, Captain.
- Forget it.
- We have the hostage information.
- Put it on the screen.
This is an authorised transmission
from the Starfleetmemorybank.
- Not General Korrd!
- He's apparently fallen from favour.
Korrd's military strategies
were required learning at the Academy.
When they put me out to pasture,
I hope I fair better than Korrd.
This must be the hostage tape.
A short time ago, we surrendered
to the Galactic Army ofLight.
We are now in the protective custody
oftheir leader.
We will be treated humanely
as long as we cooperate.
He requests thatyou send a starship
to parley for our release at once.
We are in good health and would
appreciate your immediate response.
I regret this desperate act,
but these are desperate times.
I mean no harm to these innocents,
but do notputme to the test.
I implore you to respond immediately.
What is it?
- You look like you've seen a ghost.
- Perhaps I have, Captain.
Spock, what is it?
Do you know this Vulcan?
- I cannot be certain.
- But he does seem familiar?.
He reminds me of someone
I knew
