If I was mentally compromised. 00:13:47.416 --> 00:13:48.750 But I am not. 00:13:50.208 --> 00:13:52.500 So, what's the logical solution? 00:13:52.541 --> 00:13:54.083 Perhaps the doctor could do a full scan. 00:13:54.125 --> 00:13:55.541 Why don't we try a mind meld? 00:13:55.583 --> 00:13:57.791 That way you'll know if I'm lying or not. 00:14:09.125 --> 00:14:11.958 My mind to your mind. 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:15.541 My thoughts to your thoughts. 00:14:26.583 --> 00:14:27.958 You... 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.958 carry the weight of a terrible future, Chris. 00:14:31.958 --> 00:14:34.875 The accident in question was six months ago. 00:14:36.875 --> 00:14:38.583 In this timeline, 00:14:38.625 --> 00:14:41.916 there were no cadets at the reactor incident to save. 00:14:41.958 --> 00:14:43.166 No one was even hurt. 00:14:43.208 --> 00:14:45.125 I need your help, Spock. 00:14:45.166 --> 00:14:48.125 I was sent forward to this moment in time for a reason. 00:14:48.166 --> 00:14:49.500 We have to figure out why. 00:14:49.583 --> 00:14:51.250 I would posit that in this present, 00:14:51.291 --> 00:14:53.125 you were never injured in the training accident, 00:14:53.166 --> 00:14:55.416 thus, you remained captain of the Enterprise, 00:14:55.458 --> 00:14:56.958 putting you in charge at a crucial moment 00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:58.666 in the ship's existence. 00:14:58.708 --> 00:15:01.416 A moment where the whole future hangs in the balance. 00:15:01.458 --> 00:15:02.916 All we can surmise 00:15:02.958 --> 00:15:04.541 is that, in the prime future, 00:15:04.583 --> 00:15:06.708 some other captain of the Enterprise 00:15:06.750 --> 00:15:08.250 must have commanded it differently. 00:15:08.291 --> 00:15:10.958 Thus, it is imperative you do not change 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:12.583 what you would normally do on the ship. 00:15:12.625 --> 00:15:14.625 I thought we were trying to avoid a terrible future. 00:15:14.666 --> 00:15:17.625 We are trying to discover why this future is, 00:15:17.666 --> 00:15:20.583 in the estimation of your older self, worse... 00:15:20.625 --> 00:15:23.125 So the only way to discover the terrible future... 00:15:24.583 --> 00:15:25.666 ...is to live it. 00:15:35.958 --> 00:15:38.583 Enterprise is in position and holding, sir. 00:15:38.625 --> 00:15:40.250 Just out of weapons range. 00:15:41.541 --> 00:15:42.958 Detecting a fair amount 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:44.458 of debris, but no sign of any attacking ship. 00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:46.041 Let's triple check. 00:15:46.083 --> 00:15:47.791 Nyota, see if there are any other Federation ships 00:15:47.833 --> 00:15:49.458 in the vicinity, in case we need backup. 00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:51.625 The Farragut is closest. 00:15:51.666 --> 00:15:52.708 A couple hours away. 00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:57.500 That's La'an's ship, sir. 00:15:58.583 --> 00:16:00.625 Yes. I'd forgotten. 00:16:03.458 --> 00:16:05.125 Sir, we're being hailed. 00:16:05.166 --> 00:16:08.000 It's the outpost.

What vessel? Can you identify? 00:16:35.125 --> 00:16:36.333 Negative. 00:16:36.375 --> 00:16:38.375 It all happened so fast. 00:16:38.416 --> 00:16:40.666 And it seems to have disappeared somehow. 00:16:40.708 --> 00:16:42.791 Switching to visual. 00:16:42.833 --> 00:16:46.375 Enterprise, can you see? 00:16:46.416 --> 00:16:48.375 My command post here-- 00:16:48.416 --> 00:16:51.083 we're a mile deep, on an asteroid, 00:16:51.125 --> 00:16:53.666 almost solid iron, 00:16:53.666 --> 00:16:56.041 and even through our deflectors, it did this. 00:16:56.083 --> 00:16:57.125 Can you see? 00:16:57.166 --> 00:16:59.166 We see, Hansen. 00:16:59.208 --> 00:17:00.375 Was your son with you? 00:17:00.416 --> 00:17:02.375 No, thank God. 00:17:04.458 --> 00:17:06.125 What can you tell us about the attacker? 00:17:06.166 --> 00:17:07.583 No identity. 00:17:07.625 --> 00:17:09.958 Only a glimpse of... 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.083 Then it fired something at us. 00:17:12.125 --> 00:17:14.083 High-energy plasma. 00:17:14.166 --> 00:17:16.416 Fantastic power. 00:17:18.041 --> 00:17:20.500 Vessel seems to have disappeared, 00:17:20.541 --> 00:17:22.250 but it is out there somewhere. 00:17:22.291 --> 00:17:25.291 Enterprise, 00:17:25.333 --> 00:17:27.458 there's something's on our sensors moving fast. 00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:28.458 Send us your signal. 00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:30.416 Switching. 00:17:30.458 --> 00:17:33.333 Enterprise, can you see, in the center of my screen? 00:17:33.375 --> 00:17:35.250 - Phasers? - Still out of range, sir. 00:17:35.291 --> 00:17:36.833 We're out of range, Commander.

Warn that ship off. 00:17:41.041 --> 00:17:43.166 I'm trying. They're not acknowledging us. 00:17:49.166 --> 00:17:50.583 Aah! 00:18:12.708 --> 00:18:14.958 Interesting how they became visible for just a moment. 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:16.541 Perhaps necessary to use weapons. 00:18:16.583 --> 00:18:20.416 Sir. We have to find a way to engage them. 00:18:20.458 --> 00:18:22.166 We need something to follow, Lieutenant. 00:18:22.208 --> 00:18:23.458 We have no visuals. 00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:25.833 Analyzing their movement patterns now. 00:18:25.875 --> 00:18:27.500 Give me a moment. 00:18:31.083 --> 00:18:33.208 Sir? Incoming warp signature. 00:18:33.250 --> 00:18:35.000 We're being hailed. 00:18:36.041 --> 00:18:38.125 It's one of ours. The Farragut. 00:18:38.166 --> 00:18:40.000 La'An's ship? 00:18:40.041 --> 00:18:41.916 - Who's hailing us? - Their captain. 00:18:41.958 --> 00:18:43.458 James Kirk. 00:18:45.166 --> 00:18:46.291 Sam's brother? 00:18:47.833 --> 00:18:49.833 Uh... I mean, uh... 00:18:49.875 --> 00:18:51.208 On screen. 00:18:53.041 --> 00:18:55.458 Enterprise, this is Captain James T. Kirk 00:18:55.500 --> 00:18:58.916 of the USS Farragut, offering assistance. 00:19:01.500 --> 00:19:03.333 Christopher Pike. Good to see you, Captain. 00:19:03.375 --> 00:19:05.708 We received Outpost Four's distress signal 00:19:05.791 --> 00:19:07.958 and pushed warp nine for as long as we safely could. 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.166 Do we know who did this? 00:19:09.208 --> 00:19:10.625 We have a pretty good idea. 00:19:10.666 --> 00:19:12.291 We're trying to determine, conclusively. 00:19:13.250 --> 00:19:14.291 I may have a lead, sir. 00:19:14.333 --> 00:19:16.125 The ship in question 00:19:16.166 --> 00:19:17.875 appears to have a kind of cloaking device. 00:19:17.916 --> 00:19:20.208 But they still have a detectable gravitational presence. 00:19:20.250 --> 00:19:22.583 So, can we track it, Commander...? 00:19:22.625 --> 00:19:23.625 Spock. 00:19:23.666 --> 00:19:25.208 Theoretically, yes. 00:19:25.291 --> 00:19:27.333 By detecting the microlensing of background stars 00:19:27.375 --> 00:19:28.958 we can determine an approximate location. 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:30.541 Impressive, Mr. Spock. 00:19:30.583 --> 00:19:31.583 Where's the intruder now? 00:19:33.791 --> 00:19:36.500 He has changed heading. At a very leisurely maneuver. 00:19:36.541 --> 00:19:38.750 - They may not be aware of us. - How can that be true? 00:19:38.791 --> 00:19:40.416 They had to decloak to fire. 00:19:40.458 --> 00:19:42.166 Their device may work both ways: 00:19:42.208 --> 00:19:43.875 it makes them invisible to our sensors, 00:19:43.916 --> 00:19:46.041 but requires a massive amount of energy. 00:19:46.083 --> 00:19:47.666 They are likely flying blind, 00:19:47.708 --> 00:19:49.250 without enough power to run their scanners. 00:19:49.291 --> 00:19:52.166 So, we can't see them but they can't see us. 00:19:57.416 --> 00:20:00.041 His heading is now 1-1-1, mark 1-4. 00:20:00.083 --> 00:20:01.958 The exact heading a Romulan vessel would take 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.625 toward the Neutral Zone and home. 00:20:03.666 --> 00:20:06.708 Sir, it's the Romulans. 00:20:06.750 --> 00:20:07.958 We have to take them out. 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:09.333 We can't enter the Neutral Zone. 00:20:09.375 --> 00:20:10.666 Starfleet is clear on this. 00:20:10.708 --> 00:20:12.041 We do, that's considered an act of war. 00:20:12.125 --> 00:20:13.750 They've destroyed three of our outposts. 00:20:13.791 --> 00:20:15.291 That's not an act of war? 00:20:15.333 --> 00:20:16.833 We attack the Romulans without authorization, 00:20:16.875 --> 00:20:18.458 the Federation will consider us expendable. 00:20:18.500 --> 00:20:20.333 We do have another option. 00:20:20.375 --> 00:20:21.791 We can shadow the ship. 00:20:21.833 --> 00:20:24.416 Follow a parallel course, to buy us some time. 00:20:24.458 --> 00:20:26.750 - Not an intercept course, sir? - No. 00:20:26.833 --> 00:20:28.125 The captain is right. 00:20:28.166 --> 00:20:29.458 That would be a declaration of war. 00:20:29.500 --> 00:20:30.500 But if Enterprise and Farragut 00:20:30.541 --> 00:20:31.666 match course and speed 00:20:31.708 --> 00:20:33.250 with the enemy ship, exactly, 00:20:33.291 --> 00:20:34.666 move for move, 00:20:34.666 --> 00:20:36.458 they might think we're just a reflection. 00:20:36.500 --> 00:20:38.041 Echoes on their sensors. 00:20:38.083 --> 00:20:39.625 That way we won't lose them 00:20:39.666 --> 00:20:42.166 while we wait to hear back from Starfleet. 00:20:42.208 --> 00:20:44.375 Let's start shadowing them. 00:20:44.416 --> 00:20:46.666 Uhura, send a message to Starfleet. 00:20:46.708 --> 00:20:49.041 Ask for permission to engage the Romulans. 00:20:49.083 --> 00:20:50.583 Captain Kirk, we'll be talking. 00:20:50.625 --> 00:20:52.833 I look forward to it. Kirk out. 00:20:56.291 --> 00:20:59.166 Get Sam Kirk up here, ASAP. 00:20:59.208 --> 00:21:02.208 Am I off the record here, sir? 00:21:03.583 --> 00:21:05.666 Jim was always at the top of his class. 00:21:05.708 --> 00:21:09.250 He's smart and highly skilled, obviously, 00:21:09.291 --> 00:21:12.000 but he's not above relying on charm 00:21:12.041 --> 00:21:13.500 or even luck. 00:21:13.541 --> 00:21:15.500 Sounds like a wild card. 00:21:15.541 --> 00:21:16.958 A whole deck of them. 00:21:17.916 --> 00:21:20.458 He doesn't like to take the path everyone else does. 00:21:20.500 --> 00:21:23.125 And he doesn't like to lose. 00:21:26.750 --> 00:21:30.750 Should we be worried that he's going to start a war? 00:21:33.041 --> 00:21:36.541 Look, I'm not gonna say that Jim isn't a pain in the ***. 00:21:36.583 --> 00:21:38.750 He is.
