"The Doomsday Machine" Line-by-Line

[Leandar]

Decker: Don't you think I know that?! There was, but not anymore! (sobbing) They called me, they begged me for help, four hundred of them! I couldn't! I couldn't.... (breaks down sobbing)

 

[Enterprise1981]

SCOTTY: Captain, Washburn has our report.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Go.

 

[Enterprise1981]

WASHBURN: We made a complete check on structural and control damage, sir. As far as we can tell, something crashed through the deflectors and knocked out the generators. Somehow the antimatter in the warp drive pods has been deactivated.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Deactivated, Scotty could some sort of general energy dampening field do that, and would the same type of thing account for the heavy subspace interference?

 

[Leandar]

Scotty: Aye, it all adds up. But what sort of a thing could do all that?

 

[Enterprise1981]

DECKER: If you'd seen it, you'd know. The whole thing's a weapon. It must be.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: What does it look like?

 

[Alienesse]

Decker: Well, it's miles long, with a maw that could swallow a dozen starships. It destroys planets, chops them into rubble.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Well what is it? An alien ship or is it alive-

 

[Alienesse]

Decker: Both or neither, I don't know.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Matt, your log stated that the 4th planet was breaking up. You went in to investigate.

 

[Alienesse]

Decker: We saw this thing hovering over the planet, slicing out chunks of it with a force beam.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Did you run a scanner check? What kind of a beam?

 

[Alienesse]

Decker: Pure antiproton. Absolutely pure.

 

[LeadHead]

Communicator Beep

Kirk: Kirk Here.

 

[Alienesse]

Spock (OC): Spock here, Captain.

 

[CoveTom]

Continuing...

[Enterprise Bridge]

SPOCK: Unable to raise Starfleet Command due to heavy subspace interference.

[Constellation Auxiliary Control]

SPOCK (over comm): Attempting to remedy.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: What about the Constellations tapes?

 

[Captain Robert April]

SPOCK: She was attacked by what appears to be essentially a robot, an automated weapon of immense size and power. Its apparent function is to smash planets to rubble and then digest the debris for fuel. It is, therefore, self-sustaining as long as there are planetary bodies for it to feed on.
