Captain's log, supplemental. At warp eight, we will intercept the cloud before it reaches the inhabited planet Mantilles. But we are uncertain what we can do to stop a matter-energy cloud which measures thousands of times more than our vessel.

MCCOY: Jim, if we can't stop it, millions of people will die.

Spock: Perhaps more, Doctor. If planet annihilation is part of this things nature it might seek them out as instinctively as an amoeba seeks out food. It may not consume only planets but also stars. We do not know yet whether it has any selective ability but it could be a threat to every planet in our galaxy.
Kirk: Bones, I need an expert psychological opinion. Do we dare tell the people on Mantilles, try to save a few who could get away?
Arex: 4 hours, 10 minutes, sir.
KIRK: "Blind panic."
Spock: On the other hand, notifying them may still save some small fraction of the population, Captain.
KIRK: "Bob Wesley. He left Starfleet for the governorship. He's no hysteric."
Uhura: Aye, aye, sir.
SPOCK: "Captain, I'm getting unusual readings on the chemical identity sensors."
SPOCK: "Elements unknown in our periodic tables, Captain. I'm of the opinion this cloud has come from outside our galaxy."
Kirk: Evasive action.
