But Captain, 00:14:45.458 --> 00:14:47.750 it is tethered in orbit around a black hole. 00:14:47.791 --> 00:14:50.375 Like, how big of a black hole? 00:14:50.416 --> 00:14:52.583 One problem at a time. 00:14:53.916 --> 00:14:55.791 Can we maneuver inside the brown dwarf? 00:14:55.833 --> 00:14:57.250 While technically possible, 00:14:57.250 --> 00:14:58.833 there are a number of dangers involved. 00:15:00.958 --> 00:15:03.625 Shields at 40%. 00:15:03.625 --> 00:15:04.833 Bottom-line it for me. 00:15:04.916 --> 00:15:06.416 The central mass of the brown dwarf 00:15:06.458 --> 00:15:08.250 has a density that will crush the entire ship. 00:15:08.291 --> 00:15:10.666 -Surrounding that is a volatile gas cloud. -How volatile? 00:15:10.708 --> 00:15:12.708 Enterprisewill need to lower its electrical output. 00:15:12.791 --> 00:15:15.000 Primary and auxiliary systems need to go off-line. 00:15:15.083 --> 00:15:17.708 We will lose sensors, optics, long-range communications 00:15:17.791 --> 00:15:19.416 and, most importantly, the shields. 00:15:19.458 --> 00:15:20.791 We'll be running dark. 00:15:20.833 --> 00:15:22.958 -That sounds... -Perfect. 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:24.875 Anything following us will have to do the same. 00:15:24.916 --> 00:15:27.125 If you're right, it's our best shot. 00:15:27.166 --> 00:15:29.000 You're the acting Number One again. Do you concur? 00:15:29.083 --> 00:15:30.916 Yes, sir. 00:15:30.958 --> 00:15:33.125 Helm, full impulse to Spock's mark. 00:15:33.166 --> 00:15:35.458 Aye aye. Full impulse. 00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:37.958 Into a giant gas cloud of death. 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:39.416 Why not? 00:15:57.708 --> 00:16:00.750 Captain, Sickbay and their cargo stores just took direct fire. 00:16:03.666 --> 00:16:06.125 As did the Main Cargo Bay. 00:16:23.375 --> 00:16:25.375 Lieutenant Hemmer? Lieutenant Hemmer?! 00:16:28.625 --> 00:16:30.875 Please get this off me. 00:16:48.333 --> 00:16:50.458 Oh. It's broken. 00:16:50.500 --> 00:16:52.500 Well, let's get you to Sickbay. 00:16:56.791 --> 00:16:59.333 -The door is blocked, isn't it? -Yep. 00:17:00.375 --> 00:17:03.208 - 00:17:07.416 --> 00:17:08.833 How long before it blows? 00:17:08.916 --> 00:17:10.791 I have time to stabilize the unit. 00:17:10.833 --> 00:17:12.666 An explosion of that magnitude w... 00:17:12.708 --> 00:17:15.791 Would consume theEnterprise in an atomic blast. Yes. 00:17:15.791 --> 00:17:18.250 Transporters are off-line. We'll send in a team to dig you out. 00:17:18.291 --> 00:17:20.833 Either way, I'll be here repairing. 00:17:20.916 --> 00:17:22.250 Hemmer out. 00:17:22.291 --> 00:17:24.291 Is it just me or is it hot in here? 00:17:24.333 --> 00:17:26.833 The ionic gas surrounding the ship is overwhelming 00:17:26.916 --> 00:17:29.000 climate controls. Many systems are down. 00:17:29.041 --> 00:17:32.000 Including Sickbay. Everything is off-line. 00:17:32.041 --> 00:17:35.291 We're stabilizing patients, but without medical systems, 00:17:35.375 --> 00:17:39.041 no one is getting better. It's triage. 00:17:39.083 --> 00:17:40.583 Casualties? 00:17:40.583 --> 00:17:43.583 Yes, Captain. Nine confirmed. 00:17:43.625 --> 00:17:47.250 The hit we took decimated our stock of treatment supplies. 00:17:47.291 --> 00:17:49.291 And with the matter synthesizers also off-line, 00:17:49.291 --> 00:17:52.125 we can't make more when we run out. 00:17:52.208 --> 00:17:54.500 -How's Una? -She reports that she's fine. 00:17:54.541 --> 00:17:56.041 She's on her way in. 00:17:56.125 --> 00:17:57.958 I haven't had time to check her yet. 00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:59.708 We're still playing catch-up. 00:17:59.750 --> 00:18:02.083 I've activated all backup medical personnel, 00:18:02.125 --> 00:18:04.875 but what I really need down here are supplies. 00:18:04.875 --> 00:18:07.208 CHAPEL: Doctor, I could really use some help over here. 00:18:07.250 --> 00:18:09.375 M'Benga out. 00:18:14.833 --> 00:18:16.875 - 00:18:23.333 --> 00:18:25.125 Doctor! 00:18:29.916 --> 00:18:31.333 You said you were fine. 00:18:31.333 --> 00:18:32.291 I was mistaken. 00:18:32.333 --> 00:18:33.458 These are deep. 00:18:34.416 --> 00:18:36.625 We can't power up the surgery bays. 00:18:40.333 --> 00:18:41.791 If I recall, you have an interest 00:18:41.875 --> 00:18:43.416 in archeological medicine. 00:18:45.416 --> 00:18:47.750 How good are you at sewing? 00:18:48.750 --> 00:18:50.166 Aces. 00:18:55.041 --> 00:18:57.333 No weapons systems, no phasers. 00:18:57.375 --> 00:19:00.000 What about photon torpedoes? Those can be self-guided. 00:19:00.041 --> 00:19:03.250 The torpedo bay was hit in the attack. We lost all but one. 00:19:03.333 --> 00:19:06.500 We only have one photon torpedo? 00:19:06.583 --> 00:19:08.041 The amount is inconsequential. 00:19:08.083 --> 00:19:10.500 If we fire a torpedo inside the brown dwarf, 00:19:10.583 --> 00:19:12.500 the atmospheric composition will cause a failure 00:19:12.541 --> 00:19:14.458 in the internal systems. It would propel 00:19:14.500 --> 00:19:17.125 in a random direction, likely missing its intended target. 00:19:17.208 --> 00:19:20.291 So, no shields and no weapons. 00:19:20.333 --> 00:19:22.458 What do we do-- 00:19:22.500 --> 00:19:24.875 throw luggage at them? 00:19:24.916 --> 00:19:28.458 And the Gorn-- really? We're out here fighting the... 00:19:28.500 --> 00:19:30.250 the boogeyman? No one has even seen one. 00:19:30.291 --> 00:19:32.583 So how are we supposed to take them on? 00:19:32.625 --> 00:19:34.625 I've seen them. 00:19:36.375 --> 00:19:38.333 They aren't supernatural. 00:19:38.375 --> 00:19:41.208 But they are monsters. 00:19:43.250 --> 00:19:46.083 The Federation teaches that if we can find a way to empathize 00:19:46.125 --> 00:19:49.666 with an enemy then they can one day become our friends. 00:19:49.708 --> 00:19:51.541 They're wrong. 00:19:51.541 --> 00:19:54.625 Some things in this universe are just plain evil. 00:19:54.666 --> 00:19:56.541 Have you ever seen eyes that are both 00:19:56.583 --> 00:19:58.833 dead and hungry at the same time? 00:19:58.875 --> 00:20:01.500 To them, humans are just walking feed bags 00:20:01.541 --> 00:20:05.625 of flesh and bone and jelly. 00:20:05.666 --> 00:20:07.708 The Gorn trigger a primitive, ancient, terror 00:20:07.791 --> 00:20:09.666 in warm-blooded species. 00:20:09.666 --> 00:20:12.583 We are prey. 00:20:12.625 --> 00:20:15.333 And when they hunt, they're unrelenting. 00:20:15.375 --> 00:20:19.166 The truth is plenty of people have seen the Gorn. 00:20:19.208 --> 00:20:22.083 They just don't live long enough to talk about it. 00:20:26.791 --> 00:20:28.541 All right. 00:20:30.750 --> 00:20:32.708 Be vigilant. 00:20:32.750 --> 00:20:34.541 Get creative. 00:20:34.583 --> 00:20:36.333 You're the best of Starfleet. 00:20:36.416 --> 00:20:38.166 We survive this by working together. 00:20:45.833 --> 00:20:48.000 A moment, Lieutenant. 00:20:51.166 --> 00:20:52.541 How you holding up? 00:20:54.541 --> 00:20:56.166 The enemy doesn't care about my feelings, Captain, 00:20:56.208 --> 00:20:58.208 so I don't waste my time having any. 00:20:59.208 --> 00:21:00.750 Well, that may be true, but it's not 00:21:00.791 --> 00:21:03.125 looking that way to the crew. 00:21:03.166 --> 00:21:04.750 With all due respect, 00:21:04.833 --> 00:21:06.375 you know me well enough to know that I don't care 00:21:06.416 --> 00:21:08.041 what the crew thinks. 00:21:08.083 --> 00:21:10.166 I've always been blunt. That's just who I am. 00:21:10.208 --> 00:21:12.791 Direct, looking at outcomes, not emotion. 00:21:12.791 --> 00:21:14.291 -Exactly. -But right now, your job 00:21:14.333 --> 00:21:17.166 isn't just about orders, it's about hope. 00:21:18.166 --> 00:21:20.750 Belief can be the difference between victory and defeat. 00:21:21.750 --> 00:21:22.833 Get a crew to believe in miracles, 00:21:22.875 --> 00:21:24.541 they might just give you one. 00:21:24.583 --> 00:21:27.875 I will make the adjustment. 00:21:27.875 --> 00:21:29.833 But I will not lie to them. 00:21:31.458 --> 00:21:33.875 The best miracles are born from truth. 00:21:35.083 --> 00:21:37.166 Understood, Captain. 00:21:37.208 --> 00:21:40.458 Now, there's not much on the official record. 00:21:40.500 --> 00:21:43.041 Is there anything else you can remember 00:21:43.083 --> 00:21:44.125 from your time with the Gorn-- 00:21:44.166 --> 00:21:45.791 anything that might help? 00:21:48.500 --> 00:21:51.625 The memories of what happened are, um, 00:21:51.666 --> 00:21:54.625 trauma-inhibited. The... It's all... 00:21:54.666 --> 00:21:57.500 it's-it's... it's all fragments. 00:21:57.500 --> 00:21:59.375 Bit-Bits and pieces. 00:22:00.958 --> 00:22:03.000 Well, if anything comes to mind. 00:22:14.416 --> 00:22:16.250 An engineer's most important tools 00:22:16.291 --> 00:22:18.416 are his mind and his hands. 00:22:18.458 --> 00:22:21.000 And I can't move my fingers. 00:22:21.083 --> 00:22:23.375 -Oh...

You'll have to 00:23:00.041 --> 00:23:02.375 adjust the cooling system. 00:23:06.583 --> 00:23:08.250 What did I do? 00:23:08.291 --> 00:23:10.875 Your other hand operates the cooling system as you work. 00:23:10.916 --> 00:23:13.125 Take the time to get focused. 00:23:13.166 --> 00:23:16.625 Don't let the core get above 110 degrees. 00:23:21.583 --> 00:23:23.416 Captain, a moment please? 00:23:23.458 --> 00:23:24.875 You have something, Spock? 00:23:24.916 --> 00:23:26.500 You challenged us to get creative. 00:23:26.583 --> 00:23:29.708 Computer, run program Vinci 7. 00:23:32.875 --> 00:23:35.708 Primary sensors aren't available. 00:23:35.750 --> 00:23:37.000 But navigation systems constantly take in 00:23:37.041 --> 00:23:39.208 atmospheric data to maintain stability. 00:23:39.291 --> 00:23:42.333 Hey, I still do most of the work. 00:23:42.375 --> 00:23:44.583 A ship traveling through the gas cloud creates 00:23:44.625 --> 00:23:47.333 oscillation in the atmosphere. These are converted into 00:23:47.375 --> 00:23:49.750 -rotational motions by... -ORTEGAS: Coriolis forces. 00:23:49.791 --> 00:23:52.583 Which the nav-com detects automatically. 00:23:52.625 --> 00:23:55.250 Marking Coriolis force readings would allow us to triangulate 00:23:55.291 --> 00:23:58.875 movement inside the gas giant. We can track the Gorn. 00:24:00.583 --> 00:24:03.208 You just turned a compass into a radar. 00:24:03.250 --> 00:24:05.041 Do it. 00:24:12.250 --> 00:24:14.208 It's working. We've got a signal. 00:24:14.208 --> 00:24:16.208 Analysis? 00:24:16.208 --> 00:24:19.791 The size and speed indicate it is the ship that attacked us. 00:24:22.250 --> 00:24:25.083 They're coming right at us. 00:24:25.166 --> 00:24:27.583 ETA is one minute. 00:24:27.625 --> 00:24:29.208 Can they see us? 00:24:29.250 --> 00:24:30.958 It is impossible to tell, Captain. 00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:33.083 Captain, evasive maneuvers? 00:24:33.125 --> 00:24:35.708 Negative.
