Kirk: CAPTAIN'S LOG, STARDATE 3192.1.
THE ENTERPRISE IS EN ROUTE
TO STAR CLUSTER NGC321.
OBJECTIVE--TO OPEN DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
WITH THE CIVILIZATIONS KNOWN TO BE THERE.
WE HAVE SENT A MESSAGE TO EMINIAR VII,
PRINCIPAL PLANET OF THE STAR CLUSTER,
INFORMING THEM OF OUR FRIENDLY INTENTIONS.
WE ARE AWAITING AN ANSWER.
NOTHING YET, LIEUTENANT?
NOTHING, CAPTAIN.
HAILING FREQUENCIES ARE OPEN.
HAVE YOU RECEIVED AN ANSWER TO YOUR MESSAGE YET, CAPTAIN?
NOTHING YET, AMBASSADOR.
WE'RE AWAITING A REPLY.
TODAY IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD ANY EVIDENCE
THAT THEY'VE PICKED UP OUR SIGNAL.
CAPTAIN, MESSAGE COMING IN FROM EMINIAR VII.
SIR, IT'S CODE 710.
ARE YOU SURE?
POSITIVE. IT REPEATS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN SOMETHING?
CODE 710 MEANS UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
ARE WE TO APPROACH THAT PLANET--
NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER.
YOU WILL DISREGARD THAT SIGNAL, CAPTAIN.
MR. FOX, IT IS THEIR PLANET.
CAPTAIN, IN THE PAST 20 YEARS,
THOUSANDS OF LIVES HAVE BEEN LOST IN THIS QUADRANT--
LIVES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED
IF THE FEDERATION HAD A TREATY FOR HERE.
WE NEED TO HAVE THAT PORT, AND I'M HERE TO GET IT.
BY DISREGARDING CODE 710,
YOU MIGHT WELL INVOLVE US IN AN INTERPLANETARY WAR.
I'M QUITE PREPARED TO TAKE THAT RISK.
YOU ARE.
I'M THINKING ABOUT THIS SHIP, MY CREW.
I HAVE MY ORDERS, CAPTAIN, AND NOW YOU HAVE YOURS.
YOU WILL PROCEED ON COURSE.
ACHIEVE ORBIT STATUS AND JUST LEAVE THE REST TO ME.
YOU ARE WELL AWARE
THAT MY MISSION GIVES ME THE POWER OF COMMAND.
I NOW EXERCISE IT.
YOU WILL PROCEED ON COURSE.
THAT'S A DIRECT ORDER.
IN VIEW OF CODE 710, CAPTAIN, MAY I SUGGEST--
YES, MR. SPOCK.
THIS IS THE CAPTAIN. CONDITION--YELLOW ALERT.
PHASER CREWS STAND BY. DEFLECTOR SHIELDS UP.
WE'RE GOING IN, GENTLEMEN-- PEACEFULLY, I HOPE,
BUT PEACEFULLY OR NOT...
WE'RE GOING IN.
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.
