"The Squire of Gothos" Line-by-Line

SULU: Forty degrees.
(He reaches for the switch, and sways as if dizzy, then stands up and vanishes)
 
DESALLE: Captain!

(He dashes to Sulu's station, then suddenly stops and disappears too.)



(Ok, not really)

DESALLE: Mister Spock, they're gone!
 
SPOCK: Emergency! Full reverse power!

Ship's log Stardate 2124.5. First Officer Spock reporting for Captain James Kirk. We are orbiting the lone unrecorded planet in the star desert. For four hours, we have made every possible instrument sweep, but Captain Kirk and Helmsman Sulu remain unaccounted for. I have placed the ship on red alert.
 
[Bridge]

(Enterprise is now orbiting a red planet with white whispy clouds)
SCOTT: We've searched again from stem to stern. If they're not down on that planet, they're nowhere.
 
SPOCK: Function is normal. Continuous sensor sweeps. Lieutenant Uhura, have you checked all wave bands?
 
DESALLE: With due respect, sir. Request permission to transport to the surface immediately and carry out a search.
 
SPOCK: The decision will be mine, Doctor. I have the responsibility for your safety. (he turns to Sulu's replacement) Mister Jaeger, describe your geophysical findings for the surface below.
 
JAEGER: No detectable soil or vegetation. Extremely hot, toxic atmosphere swept by tornadic storm. Continuous volcanic eruptions. Deadly to any lifeforms such as we know it without oxygen and life-support systems.
 
UHURA: Mister Spock. Look.
(Words are appearing on the monitor above her head, in gothic script. Spock reads them out loud)
 
SPOCK: "Greetings and felicitations." Hmm. Send this, Lieutenant. USS Enterprise to signaler on planet surface. Identify self.

(The reply comes up on the monitor.)
