CAPTAIN'S LOG, STARDATE 2947.3.
WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH A SEVERE ION STORM.
ONE CREWMAN IS DEAD.
THE SHIP'S DAMAGE IS CONSIDERABLE.
I HAVE ORDERED A NONSCHEDULED LAYOVER
ON STARBASE 11 FOR REPAIRS.
A FULL REPORT OF DAMAGES WAS MADE
TO THE COMMANDING OFFICER OF STARBASE 11-- COMMODORE STONE.
MAINTENANCE, SECTION 18.
THE SECTION IS WORKING ON THE INTREPID.
RESCHEDULE. THE ENTERPRISE IS ON PRIORITY 1.
THAT MAKES THREE TIMES YOU'VE READ IT, JIM.
IS THERE AN ERROR?
NO.
BUT THE DEATH OF THE CREWMAN...
REGULATIONS, CAPTAIN.
AND THE EXTRACT FROM YOUR SHIP'S COMPUTER LOG
CONFIRMING THIS SWORN DEPOSITION?
KIRK TO ENTERPRISE.
[UHURA] BRIDGE HERE. GO AHEAD, CAPTAIN.
WHERE'S MR. SPOCK WITH THAT COMPUTER LOG EXTRACT?
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE 10 MINUTES AGO, SIR.
KIRK OUT.
IT'S A GREAT PITY.
THE SERVICE CAN'T AFFORD
TO LOSE MEN LIKE LIEUTENANT COMMANDER FINNEY.
I AGREE.
I WAITED UNTIL THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT.
WE WERE ON RED ALERT, THE STORM GOT WORSE.
I HAD TO JETTISON THE POD.
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG, MR. SPOCK?
CAPTAIN...
I BELIEVE--
I'LL TAKE THAT.
JAME.
THERE YOU ARE.
I JUST WANTED ONE MORE LOOK AT YOU--THE MAN WHO KILLED MY FATHER.
THAT'S NOT SO. HE WAS MY FRIEND.
YOUR FRIEND?
YOU HATED HIM ALL YOUR LIFE!
THAT'S WHY YOU KILLED HIM, YOU MURDERER!
JAME.
MR. SPOCK,
WOULD YOU PLEASE...
MISS FINNEY, COME WITH ME, PLEASE.
CAPTAIN KIRK,
YOU SAY YOU JETTISONED THE POD AFTER THE RED ALERT?
YOU HAVE MY SWORN DEPOSITION.
THEN, CAPTAIN, I MUST PRESUME
YOU HAVE COMMITTED WILLFUL PERJURY.
THIS EXTRACT FROM YOUR COMPUTER LOG SAYS YOU JETTISONED THE POD
BEFORE GOING TO RED ALERT.
CONSIDER YOURSELF CONFINED TO THE BASE.
AN OFFICIAL INQUIRY WILL DETERMINE
WHETHER A GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL IS IN ORDER.
SPACE--THE FINAL FRONTIER.
THESE ARE THE VOYAGES OF THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE.
ITS FIVE-YEAR MISSION--
TO EXPLORE STRANGE NEW WORLDS...
TO SEEK OUT NEW LIFE AND NEW CIVILIZATIONS...
TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE.
