One of Our Planets is Missing Line-by-Line

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Wesley [on monitor]: There is no choice, Jim. We'll save the children.

KIRK: In three hours and twenty minutes the cloud will reach Mantilles. Millions of people will die. I need your help, gentlemen. Your analyses?

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Spock: If we assume the cloud is a living being, we must also assume it needs some kind of food to sustain itself.

 

[Athena28]

KIRK: Agreed. Judging from the disappearance of Alondra, the cloud lives on the energy it converts from the planets it consumes.

 

[Tallguy]

Spock: Exactly. It is like a huge bull grazing here and there in the pasture of the universe.

 

[Athena28]

KIRK: What about those blobs, Bones?

 

[Tallguy]

McCoy: I think they perform the same function as teeth. They break up the larger chunks of matter for digestion.

 

[CaptVader]

KIRK: Lieutenant, let's see what the scanners have come up with on the cloud's composition.

 

[Tallguy]

Kirk: It seems to have some sort of anatomy. Arex, where are WE on that chart?

 

[Athena28]

AREX: Posting Enterprise position, sir.

 

[Tallguy]

Kirk: The opening where we were drawn in seems to have closed. But there's another opening up there on top.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Bones: If this thing does have some kind of digestive system, we don't stand much of a chance of making it that far.

 

[Tallguy]

Arex: Three hours, five minutes until the cloud reaches Mantilles, sir.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Kirk: Thank you, Mister Arex. Since we appear to have only one way out, we're going to take it. Mister Sulu, takes us to that central core area.

 

[Tallguy]

Sulu: Aye aye, sir.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Kirk: And if this thing does have a stomach, we just might be able to give it enough indigestion to make it turn away from Mantilles.

 

[Tallguy]

Sulu: We've reached the entrance to the central core, captain.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Bones: What do we do now, knock?

 

[Tallguy]

Kirk: No need, Bones. Here we go.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

The Enterprise is sucked into an area with bits protruding from walls, and the blobs following get blown up

Uhura: What are those things?
