ACT 2

KIRK: ...Alright Doctor,.. alright,... enough with the Stress of Command lecture,...Bones,... about Spock,... tell me,... have you ever heard of a thing called,... Vulcan Karia-Foria?

.

 

[A.V.I.A.F.]

McCoy: Cara-what? Sounds like some Mediterranean dish. What's on your mind, Jim?

 

[Captain Tracy]

KIRK: I know he is one of the best officers in Starfleet,... but how can I run the risk of involving the Federation in an interstellar war,.. my ship,.. my crew,... millions of lives on all sides,... on someone's HUNCH,... Bones,... I,... I don't know how to ask you this,.. but,... when was the last time you ran a complete psycho-analytic profile on,... on Spock?
.

 

[A.V.I.A.F.]

UHURA (over intercom): Captain, I have just intercepted and decoded a reply to the Klingon Commander from the Klingon High Council.

 

[Captain Tracy]

KIRK: See what I mean Bones,... I know all about the stress of command,... (Activates Intercom),... Pipe it down here Lieutenant Uhura.

 

[A.V.I.A.F.]

Klingon voice (translated): Commander, you are ordered to return to base unless you encounter more Romulans...in which case you are ordered to fight until the death...one of the two Romulan spies confessed to the theft of our Stasis Box containing the thought amplifier wristband...all Klingon warbirds will now fly in formations of no less than 20 vessels; an armada will intercept your unless you perish first...Glory to the Empire!

 

[Captain Tracy]

KIRK: Relay that message to StarFleet Command,... code three Lieutenant,... inform me as soon as you get a reply,... And have Mr. Spock and the other department heads meet me in the Briefing Room,... Kirk out.

 

[Captain Tracy]

KIRK: (v.o.) Captain's Log: Stardate 5121.7 - Occupying the fringes of space between the fleets of both the Romulan and Klingon Empires undetected,... the Enterprise has become the silent witness to the preamble to inter-galactic war,... and based on the reports of my senior officers,... some purely speculative in nature,... my final assertion to StarFleet,... as Captain of the Enterprise,.. may endanger millions of Federation lives,... I dare not make a mistake...

 

[A.V.I.A.F.]

KIRK: (v.o.) Flashback: All of this seemed perfectly logical to Spock...the theft of a thought amplifying device originating from the telepathic Slaver race and its effects on the Vulcan mental war-cry Karia-Foria...all perfectly plausible.

 

[A.V.I.A.F.]

KIRK: (v.o.) Flashback: McCoy's cheif concern was that without reinforcements, Enterprise could never begin to match the Romulan threat...his mind is on the potentially catastrophic casualty list, and rightfully so.

 

[A.V.I.A.F.]

KIRK: (v.o.) Flashback: Mr. Scott has calculated (based on what we can determine of the decimation of the Klingon fleet) that we would need a minimum of 120 starships to have a fighting chance against a telepathically supercharged armada of Romulan vessels...the heightened ability of their ships' commanders to communicate with each other in an instant their most subtle and instantaneous military strategies means they could jump dozens of moves ahead of us in the time it would take one commanding officer to give a single battle order...battling the Romulans on those terms would be like playing chess against a thousand duotronic computers at the same time!

 

[A.V.I.A.F.]

KIRK Real-time: In short, it would take nothing less than a divine intervention to help us....divine...godlike...Uhura; get me Starfleet command Emergency Priority coded and scrambled...and tell McCoy to brush up on some of Dr. Piper's last medical logs and to meet me on the bridge ASAP!
