One of Our Planets is Missing Line-by-Line

KIRK: Don't worry, Bob. She'll be all right. Goodbye.

 

Wesley [on viewscreen]: Goodbye, Jim.

 

McCoy: Who's Katie?

 

KIRK: His daughter. She's 11. Spock, is there any way we could establish whether or not it is definitely intelligent? Perhaps a Vulcan mind touch?

 

Spock: It would require physical contact, which is impossible, Captain. But I may be able to reach out with my mind. If we focus our sensors onto the cloud's synaptic electrical impulses the input could be routed to the ship's computer for analysis into thought.

 

Uhura: I can link in the universal translator and put it on the audio system from here.

 

Kirk: Can you do it in time?

 

Spock: It is impossible to calculate, Captain. There are too many unknown factors. I can only try to accomplish the link. No more.

 

SULU: Twenty six minutes exactly to Mantilles, sir.

 

Kirk: All right, Spock. Get at it.

 

Captain's log, stardate 5372.1. The cloud will reach Mantilles in seven minutes. Spock has been working on the mechanics of reaching the cloud's thoughts, but I doubt if there's any time left. And even if we do establish contact, can we communicate with it and persuade it not to kill?

 

Scotty: The procedure is ready, sir.

 

KIRK: Thank you, Scotty.

 

Spock: Ready, Captain.

Listen to me. Listen to me. You are not alone here, there is someone else. Listen to me.

 

CLOUD: What?

 

Spock [OC]: You are not alone here, there is someone else. Listen to me. Listen to me.

 

CLOUD [OC]: What you?

 

Spock: I am another being.

 

CLOUD: Being? Where?

 

Spock: I am inside you.
