ANYTHING, LIEUTENANT?
NO, SIR.
I'VE TRIED EVERY MAJOR TRANSMITTING STATION ON DENEVA.
NONE OF THEM HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED MY CONTACT SIGNAL.
TRY GSK-783, SUBSPACE FREQUENCY 3.
SIR, THAT'S A CALL SIGN FOR A PRIVATE TRANSMITTER.
I'M VERY WELL AWARE OF THAT, LIEUTENANT. TRY IT.
YES, SIR.
EVALUATION, MR. SPOCK.
AS I SPECULATED, CAPTAIN,
THE OVERALL PATTERN OF MASS INSANITY DESTROYING CIVILIZATIONS
FOLLOWS AN ALMOST STRAIGHT LINE
THROUGH THIS SECTION OF THE GALAXY.
OVER HERE THE BETA PORTILIN SYSTEM--
THE ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS HAVE GIVEN US INFORMATION
INDICATING THAT THEY WERE THE BEGINNING.
200 YEARS AGO,
LAVINIUS 5 WAS SWEPT BY MASS INSANITY,
THEN PHETA SIGNI 12.
THE LAST WAS INGRIAM B,
TWO YEARS AGO.
AND NEXT IN LINE-- DENEVA.
BONES, WHAT'S YOUR THEORY
ABOUT THE CAUSE OF ALL THIS?
THERE IS NO MEDICAL OR SCIENTIFIC CAUSE
FOR WHAT HAPPENED ON THOSE PLANETS, JIM.
BUT IT FOLLOWS A DEFINITE PATTERN--
A SYSTEMATIC PROGRESSION FROM PLANET TO PLANET.
CAPTAIN,
WE'RE PICKING UP A SHIP ON OUR SENSORS,
HEADING DIRECTLY INTO THE DENEVAN SUN.
HE'LL BURN UP.
PLOT AN INTERCEPTION COURSE, MR. SULU, WARP FACTOR 8.
LIEUTENANT UHURA, TRY TO CONTACT THAT SHIP.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
SHIP IS A ONE-MAN VESSEL OF DENEVAN CONFIGURATION, CAPTAIN.
HE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE OUT OF CONTROL.
HIS COURSE IS STRAIGHT FOR THE SUN.
SCOTTY, TRACTOR BEAMS?
OUT OF RANGE, SIR.
Uhura: MAKING CONTACT, CAPTAIN.
DENEVAN SHIP, THIS IS THE "U.S.S. ENTERPRISE."
CAN YOU REVERSE YOUR COURSE? ACKNOWLEDGE.
[STATIC]
CAPTAIN, WE'LL GET TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN.
KEEP CLOSING.
DENEVAN SHIP, REVERSE YOUR COURSE.
DO YOU HEAR ME?
REVERSE YOUR COURSE!
ACKNOWLEDGE.
[STATIC]
OUTER HULL TEMPERATURE NOW 480 DEGREES AND RISING.
HE'S TOO CLOSE, CAPTAIN.
SO ARE WE. HULL TEMPERATURE 1,000 DEGREES AND RISING.
THE SUN'S GRAVIMETRIC PULL INCREASING.
Denevan pilot: I DID IT!
IT'S FINALLY GONE! I'M FREE!
I'M--
HE BURNED UP, CAPTAIN.
REVERSE COURSE. 180 DEGREES ABOUT.
AYE, SIR.
ALL CLEAR, CAPTAIN.
HULL TEMPERATURE FALLING,
GRAVIMETRIC PULL APPROACHING TOLERANCE LEVEL.
VERY WELL.
REDUCE TO SUBWARP SPEED.
TAKE US TO DENEVA.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
THAT DENEVAN SHIP HEADED DELIBERATELY INTO THE SUN. WHY?
THERE'S ONE POSSIBILITY.
THE MASS INSANITY MAY HAVE REACHED THIS PLANET, TOO.
CAPTAIN, I'M HAVING DIFFICULTY ON THAT TRANSMITTER CALL TO DENEVA.
KEEP TRYING.
YES, SIR.
JIM, YOUR BROTHER SAM, HIS FAMILY,
AREN'T THEY STATIONED ON THIS PLANET?
Kirk: SPACE-- THE FINAL FRONTIER.
THESE ARE THE VOYAGES OF THE STARSHIP "ENTERPRISE."
ITS 5-YEAR MISSION--
TO EXPLORE STRANGE NEW WORLDS...
TO SEEK OUT NEW LIFE AND NEW CIVILIZATIONS...
TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE.
