"Return to Tomorrow" Line-by-Line

Sargon [OC]: And I am as dead as my planet. Does that frighten you, James Kirk? For if it does, if you let what is left of me perish, then all of you, my children, all of mankind must perish, too.
 
Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. It's five year mission: To explore strange, new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before.

Captain's Log, stardate 4768.3. The Enterprise is in orbit above a planet whose surface, our sensors tell us, is devoid of all life, a world destroyed and dead for at least a half million years. Yet from it comes a voice, the energy of pure thought, telling us something has survived here for those thousands of centuries...

(On the bridge, Kirk continues dictating his log entry)

Kirk (dictating log): ...since exploration and contact with alien intelligences is our primary mission, I've decided to risk the potential dangers and resume contact. Log entry out. (to Uhura) How long before Starfleet receives that?
 
Spock: Sensors registering some form of energy deep inside the planet.
 
:alienblush:


SARGON [OC]: I have locked your transporter device on my co-ordinates. Please come to us. Rescue us from oblivion.
 
:p

SPOCK: Coming from deep under the planet's surface, Captain. Under at least one hundred miles of solid rock.
 
SARGON [OC]: I will make it possible for your transporter to beam you that deep beneath the surface. Have no fear.
 
KIRK: Lieutenant Uhura, have Doctor McCoy report to the transporter room in ten minutes with standard landing party equipment.
 
KIRK: And I would like to have my science officer with me on something as unusual as this, but it is full of unknowns and we can't risk both of us being off the ship.
