Space, a 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,

who boldly go where no man has gone before.

Captain's Log, star date 5221.3.

On outward course beyond the fringe of our galaxy

towards Quest R.M. 17, a source of mysterious radio emissions.

Mission, star charting.

Situation, Mr.

Scott.

We picked up speeds on rapidly.

I've cut back power, but we continue to gain momentum.

Mr. Sulu?

She's not answering the helms, sir.

Two minutes, right ascension off course, and drifting far to kept.

Stand by to reverse course.

Standing by, sir.

Reverse course.

I can only describe it as hypergravity captain.

More powerful than any we've ever encountered.

It's dragging the enterprise toward it.

Why aren't our senses picking it up forward scanners, Mr.

Sulu?

Captain, that's the source of the radio emissions.

Negative star mass.

Spectra analysis.

Imploded matter.

But every reading on it is negative.

Captain was still gaining speed.

Full reverse thrust.

No good, sir.

We're still falling toward it.

How much time do we have?

Impacted in 93 seconds.

92.

91.

Captain, there's another signal.

Listen.

40 seconds, Captain.

39.

38.

Sulu.

Flank speed ahead.

Our only chance is to try to get it to orbit around that thing.

High high, Captain.

9 seconds.

8.

7.

Orbital velocity.

Steady as she goes, Mr. Sulu.

Maintain orbit.

High high, Captain.

If this pull is this strong, Jim, how do we get out of orbit?

Slingshot effect, Mr. Spock, do we have enough power?

I'll need some time for the computations, Captain.

I'm getting that radio sound against, sir.

9 seconds, right ascension from galactic plane.

Dare to hear them closing fast.

It's on the view screen now, sir.

Put us alongside, Mr. Sulu.

High high, sir.

This is Starship.

But nothing I've ever seen.

The size of it.

It's been damaged.

I'll bet she was pulled in like we were.

It's coming from that ship, Captain.

Confirm, Captain.

But it isn't possible.

That ship is dead.

Temperature is absolute zero.

There's no thermal reading to support life aboard her.

And no energy storage and radio messages.

Nothing except a slight magnetic flux reading,

which could be normal for the ship's metal.

Your show, Mr. Spock.

Probability.

0.997, Captain.

Can you identify that metal or the design of the ship?

Negative to both, Captain.

Unknown alloy.

Harder and lighter than any registered metal.

It is not a recorded galactic Starship design.

Retroanalysis of the ship's spectra.

Dates it as having been in orbit here for slightly more than 300 million years.

It's beautiful.

What kind of people could have built it to

touch even a Starship with grace and beauty?

A civilization that advanced 300 million years ago before life even emerged on Earth.

Barely and instant and eternity.

Mr. Spock, any indication of that ship's power source.

No, Captain.

But this far from a G1 star, it is logical

to assume they had some kind of warp drive.

We'll board her, Mr. Spock.

Scottie, Bones, you'll come with us.

We'll need life support belts.

Mr. Sudo, have the transporter room stand by.

Yes, sir.

Ready, Captain.

Activate life support belts, energize.

The hexagonal shape of the windows suggests a

similarity to natural insect designs of Earth.

The honey comes of bees.

The individual cells are shaped precisely like this.

Would you look at this now?

This metal, it isn't cast or rolled.

It was drawn into filaments and spun.

Like a spider spins his wind.

A lighter and stronger material than anything we have now.

Look, every pod, they've all been burst open.

I, from the inside from the looks of them.

Must have been some accident to get almost every pod.

Accidents seldom have such system, Dr. McCoy.

I believe we must consider the alternative possibility

that the crew of this ship destroyed her themselves.

Captain's lawn.

We have beamed aboard the alien ship found orbiting

a strange dead star.

The Enterprise is recording all data for the log and the full report later.

Clerk to Enterprise.

Enterprise, Lieutenant O'Hora here.

Lieutenant, are you still getting that radio signal from this ship?

Negative Captain.

It's stop transmitting when you beam the board.

All right, lock on us with the transporter and be ready to transport.

We're going inside.

Transport to beam on and lock standing by.

What do you make of its fun?

Captain, it's registering energy.

Very little.

But building in its function.

After all the millenniums the ship has been here.

The wands are accumulators.

Receptors to attract energy.

Motion, sound, light, heat.

Every kind of energy around them.

The structure of the ship.

Those huge arches thrusting up.

The whole ship is designed to receive and store energy.

It gives me the creeps.

I feel like something's watching us.

I feel it too, Captain.

The physiological symptom of latent primal superstition.

The fear of primitive people confronting something unknown to them.

Compared to the beings that built this ship, we are primitive people.

Even you, Mr. Spock.

All right, let's keep going.

Tricotter analysis, Mr. Spock.

Artificial gravity is an effect here, Captain.

Both air and gravity within two points of Earth normal.

And a prize.

Do you read me?

Salut, no use, Captain.

Some sort of interference has been set up.

We can cut out a way out of here.

No energy registering.

Something strange them.

You may be trapped here, no communication.

Nothing for the moment.

This is was the control center of the Starship.

These must be controlled and navigational instrument.

The source of the interference is here, Captain.

It's not part of the normal equipment.

It's like something they jury rigged during an emergency.

Something to shield this room, but shield it from what

possibly from whatever had come aboard their ship.

But nothing, no form of life could survive 300 million years.

Right, Mr. Scott.

No known form of life.

Jim, the door.

Something is trying to get in.

The field of interference is reacting against the magnetic flux lines, Captain.

Will it hold if the energy stays at that level?

What is it? I'm not sure.

I think.

It could be a ship's vlog or a warning.

It seems to keep repeating.

The message from 300 million years ago.

It is possible that this much of their technology survived.

Anything?

I may be able to get a translation.

Hurry up, Spock.

Patient's doctor.

Dang it.

You get scared.

We are being warned.

Rather than carry this momentum itself that way

to lose, we have decided to destroy our own ship.

There is no better answer if you understand this message.

You are full of traffic.

There is no better answer if you understand this message.

You are full of traffic.

There is no better answer if you understand this message.

There is no better answer if you understand this message.

Get out of here.

Hurry.

Located them right off to that explosive, Mr. Solo.

We're locked on and beaten him aboard.

Good work, Mr. Kyle.

I thought we lost him when we were cut off so long.

These are cakes, sir.

Here they come now.

Captain, something beam aboard with you.

Transport is back out.

Staff us.

Sick Bay reports, no injuries to cruiser.

No damage to holler, engines, captain.

Automatic bridge defense system on and prepare it soon.

So, we're all just fine.

But whatever was on that ship used our transporter beam

to come aboard with us, and now it's here, that alien commander therin.

The message said that they had to destroy their own ship

until we learn more about this Scotty.

Perhaps we should be ready to do the same.

Take two of your men and harm the self-destruct device in the engineering core.

Hi, sir.

Mr. Spock, any change in ship's readings?

We're registering a slightly higher than normal magnetic flux.

Not dangerous.

But the level isn't constant.

It seems to fluctuate.

A steady, almost pulsing ribbon.

Like the beating of a hunt.

Bridge, lieutenant, what?

Captain, decks five and six report shut down of all life support systems.

They've gone to life support bills.

Manual override is not responding.

Trouble in the engineering core, sir.

Bridge to sick bay.

Always get down to the engineering core on the double.

Get on those life support systems now.

Force field of his belt won't hold that wait for long, Jim.

Override systems, Mr. Spock.

Open the core hatch.

That's newly yourself.

The mechanism has a frozen.

They've already tried.

Something's jammed the circuits.

They're magnetized.

All right.

Get the cutter beams on that hatch.

Move.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Bridge to Captain Kirk.

Something's activating the ship's spacer bags.

They're locking on the alien star ship.

The spacer bags were all kept.

They activated themselves.

And mutual override did not work.

No, sir.

Exactly like the engineering controls.

And the life support systems on decks five and six.

Sir.

We cannot get into the core.

The cutter beams.

The range of all energy, sir.

Sir.

The cargo hulls three, four, and five.

Just shut down life support systems.

Power out on all but key levels, Captain.

High magnetic flux reading.

Captain Kirk, the ship's computers.

Something's going through every storage bank.

It seems to be taking control of the whole ship.

Spock.

Can you rig a low frequency shield,

like the one on the alien ship on our navigation console?

It would have a very small field.

Do it.

It's activated, Captain.

But only an area, three meters square.

Do you get a magnetic flux reading there now?

Negative, Captain.

Jim, you don't think that's going to help us.

Whatever that thing is, it's survived millennia and a dead hawk.

All it has to do here is our lastness and just take over.

No.

It must be held by the magnetic force of a dead star.

And it means a starship to break free and a crew to manage.

Do all correct, Captain James D. Kirk.

And I have the starship I've waited for so long.

So terribly long.

It has absorbed the memory banks, Captain.

All of them.

You will now remove the static shield from

a navigation console Captain James D. Kirk.

You have shut down life support systems and endangered members of my crew.

Restore those systems first.

All non-essential systems are extinguished.

You will obey me.

And if I refuse.

All they need.

Captain.

All they need.

Stop.

You'll hurt him.

Remove the static shield from a warp right to crawl.

Do it now.

No.

Captain.

I will be.

Let him go.

Don't pay me.

Mr. Scott.

Start repairs.

Install the auxiliary controls.

I, Captain.

I'm all right, Captain.

What are we dealing with, Spock?

I rank probability, Captain.

It is a magnetic organism without mass.

But capable of symbiotic relationship with a host body.

A starship, for instance.

It is a form of primal energy.

And it can utilize the electronic control

systems of a starship like the mind of a man.

It uses the neural control systems of the human body.

It has become the enterprise.

And we are only life support organisms in its body.

Like the white corpuscles in human blood and Captain.

The magnetic flux readings are higher.

It is growing stronger.

Building itself.

A slingshot effect a yankus out of orbit.

Can you compute it in your mind?

If we try to use ship's computers, the alien will know.

I believe I can, Captain.

I will need to aid the ship.

I believe I can, Captain.

I will need to aid Mr. Scott.

The engineer will lead aid for my first officer to complete repairs.

Is that permitted? I guess it is.

You will leave this orbit and plot course to collect a coordinate 036.231.

That's the heart of a galaxy, Captain.

Plot the course, Mr. Silver, Captain.

This symbiote can reproduce itself by mitosis

and take over every starship we encounter.

It can control computer centers.

Four planets.

I'm aware of that, Mr. Spock.

Complete repairs.

Oh, baby.

Legendary controls ready to activate, Captain.

The auxiliary warp drive controls can only be operated manually.

That is correct.

You will activate the manual controls of a...

Control's activated.

Captain, we're dropping out of orbit.

We're falling into the dead sun.

Apply full power.

Open your head.

I cannot make it.

I cannot destroy the ship.

I'm a need.

I'm a need.

I'm a need.

I'm a need.

I'm a need.

I'm a need.

I'm a need.

I'm a need.

Activate warp drive.

Is it gone affirmative?

It fled the ship, and it thought we would crash into the dead star.

Captains log star date 5221.8.

Finally, resuming outward course beyond the

farthest star of our galaxy mission star charting.
