MCCOY: They're giants, and we're insects beside them. They could destroy us without meaning to. And all he wants is the body of our captain and our second in command, too. Coincidence?

Athena28 · June 26 2012, 09:07 PM

KIRK: They selected us as the most compatible bodies.

leandar · June 26 2012, 09:28 PM

McCoy: What's your attitude on that, Doctor?

Enterprise1981 · June 26 2012, 09:29 PM

MULHALL: Well, if we all agree, I'm willing to host Thalassa's mind. I'm a scientist. The opportunity is an extraordinary one for experimentation, observation.

leandar · June 26 2012, 09:32 PM

Scotty: A starship engine the size of a walnut...? That's impossible.... But I don't suppose there'd be any harm in looking over diagrams on it.

Enterprise1981 · June 26 2012, 09:34 PM

KIRK: Bones? You could stop all this by saying no. That's why I called you all here together. We'll all be deeply involved. It must be unanimous.

leandar · June 26 2012, 09:43 PM

McCoy: Then I'll still want one question answered to my satisfaction. Why? Not a list of possible miracles, but a simple basic understandable ''why'' that overrides all danger. And let's not kid ourselves that there is no potential danger in this!

Ziz · June 26 2012, 09:43 PM

KIRK: They used to say if man could fly, he'd have wings. But he did fly. He discovered he had to.

Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn't reached the moon, or that we hadn't gone on to Mars and then to the nearest star? That's like saying you wish that you still operated with scalpels and sewed your patients up with catgut like your great-great-great-great-grandfather used to.

I'm in command; I could order this...but I'm not because Doctor McCoy is right in pointing out the enormous danger potential in any contact with life and intelligence as fantastically advanced as this but I must point out that the possibilities...the potential for knowledge and advancement is equally great.

Risk...risk is our business. That's what this starship is all about. That's why we're aboard her.

You may dissent without prejudice. Do I hear a negative vote?

[No one objects]

Engineer, stand by to beam aboard three receptacles.

McCoy: The extreme power of the alien mind will drive the heart action dangerously high, and The body functions will race many times their normal metabolism, so we're going to have to monitor this very carefully.

BlueStuff · June 26 2012, 11:43 PM

CHAPEL: Yes, sir.

Orac · June 27 2012, 01:18 AM

McCoy: Well, I guess we're as ready as we'll ever be, Jim.

leandar · June 27 2012, 06:44 AM

Kirk: Ready, Sargon. (The spheres emit a brilliant light, the patients twitch, then the spheres dim) (Kirk as Sargon speaks as his voice echoes) The transference is complete.

Captain Ice · June 27 2012, 08:08 AM

CHAPEL: Metabolic rate is double and rising, Doctor.

BlueStuff · June 27 2012, 09:54 AM

SPOCK: Hello. Oh, you are a lovely female. A pleasant sight to wake up to after half a million years.

Captain Ice · June 27 2012, 02:50 PM

CHAPEL: Thank you.
