[Leandar]

Spock: Yes, sir?

 

[Ziz]

Kirk: I'm plotting an intercept course. Will rendezvous with you at fourteen thirteen point seven hours.

 

[Leandar]

(As Enterprise and Constellation head toward each other, in the Enterprise hangar bay, a shuttlecraft begins launch)

Sulu: Mr. Spock, someone's opened the shuttlecraft bay doors.

 

[Claudia]

Spock: Shut them, Mr Sulu.

 

[LeadHead]

Sulu: It's too late Sir.

 

[Claudia]

Kirk (seeing the shuttle launching from the Enterprise): Kirk to Enterprise. Why are you launching a shuttlecraft?

 

[Enterprise1981]

SPOCK: Whoever it is, Captain, has no authorization. Lieutenant, raise the shuttlecraft.

 

[LeadHead]

Palmer: Enterprise to Shuttlecraft. Come in Shuttlecraft. Enterprise to Shuttlecraft. Come in Shuttlecraft. Come in Shuttlecraft.

 

[Enterprise1981]

DECKER: Shuttlecraft to Enterprise. Decker here.

 

[LeadHead]

Enterprise Bridge

Spock: Commodore, I must insist that you return to the ship.

 

[Enterprise1981]

DECKER: You said it yourself, Spock. There is no way to blast through the hull of that machine, so I'm going to take this thing right down its throat.

 

[LeadHead]

Constellation Auxiliary Control

Kirk: This is Kirk. Matt, you'll be killed.

 

[CoveTom]

[Shuttlecraft]

DECKER: I've been prepared for death ever since I... ever since I killed my crew.

 

[LeadHead]

Constellation

Kirk: No one expects you to die for an error in judgment.

 

[Claudia]

Decker: A commander is responsible for the lives of his crew. And for their deaths. Well, I should have died with mine.

 

[LeadHead]

Enterprise

Spock: You cannot succeed Commodore. Your only logical alternative is to return to the ship.

 

[Claudia]

Kirk: Matt. Matt, listen to me. You can't throw your life away like this.

(Shuttle gets ever closer to the object.)

Matt, you're a starship commander. That makes you a valuable commodity.

(via comm) We need you. Your experience. Your judgement. Matt!! We're stronger with you than without you.

(Shuttle flies into the object and is destroyed - Kirk closes communicator.)
