Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:08,274 --> 00:00:10,708
Space, the final frontier.
2
00:00:17,217 --> 00:00:20,618
These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.
3
00:00:21,454 --> 00:00:25,185
Its five-year mission:
To explore strange new worlds,
4
00:00:25,658 --> 00:00:28,684
to seek out new life
and new civilizations,
5
00:00:29,562 --> 00:00:32,531
to boldly go
where no man has gone before.
6
00:01:21,714 --> 00:01:25,650
First Officer's Log, Stardate 4187.3.
7
00:01:26,186 --> 00:01:30,418
The Enterprise shuttlecraft Copernicus
is en route to Starbase 25
8
00:01:30,523 --> 00:01:32,150
with an important cargo.
9
00:01:32,258 --> 00:01:33,816
A Slaver stasis box
10
00:01:33,927 --> 00:01:37,021
discovered by archaeologists
on the planet Kzin.
11
00:01:37,664 --> 00:01:40,497
These stasis boxes
are the most remarkable thing
12
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,534
the Slavers ever produced.
13
00:01:42,635 --> 00:01:45,604
Time stands still inside a stasis box.
14
00:01:46,005 --> 00:01:48,838
A billion years means nothing in there.
15
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:51,236
What is it, Lieutenant?
16
00:01:51,344 --> 00:01:54,745
I've studied the history
of the Slaver Empire, but it's sketchy.
17
00:01:54,848 --> 00:01:58,306
We know they were masters
of all the intelligent beings in this galaxy
18
00:01:58,418 --> 00:02:01,945
a billion years ago.
Until one race revolted.
19
00:02:02,589 --> 00:02:05,888
Are the stasis boxes
the only source of information we have?
20
00:02:05,992 --> 00:02:08,517
The Slavers and all their subjects
were exterminated
21
00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:10,255
in the war that followed.
22
00:02:10,363 --> 00:02:13,355
Intelligent life had to evolve
all over again.
23
00:02:14,234 --> 00:02:19,137
The stasis boxes are the only remnant
of those lost civilizations.
24
00:02:21,307 --> 00:02:23,400
Why is it glowing like that?
25
00:02:35,054 --> 00:02:36,817
Mr. Sulu! What is our position?
26
00:02:36,923 --> 00:02:41,257
Passing Beta Lyrae, sir. 142 degrees
north-east of galactic plane.
27
00:02:41,361 --> 00:02:42,851
Most peculiar.
28
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:49,299
This indicates there is
another stasis box circling Beta Lyrae.
29
00:02:49,636 --> 00:02:50,728
Another one?
30
00:02:50,837 --> 00:02:54,432
It would be most illogical
that a stasis box would remain here
31
00:02:54,541 --> 00:02:56,202
undiscovered for so long.
32
00:02:56,976 --> 00:03:00,412
Beta Lyrae is one of the rare spectacles
of the galaxy.
33
00:03:00,513 --> 00:03:03,573
Almost every ship that passes
stops to see it.
34
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:06,742
Maybe no one else was carrying
a stasis box detector.
35
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:08,115
Possible.
36
00:03:08,288 --> 00:03:12,520
The only known stasis box detector
is another stasis box.
37
00:03:13,526 --> 00:03:16,393
- Still. Mr. Sulu.
- Yes, sir?
38
00:03:16,496 --> 00:03:19,329
Bring us about.
We'll investigate the Beta Lyrae system.
39
00:03:19,432 --> 00:03:20,592
Aye, aye, sir.
40
00:03:25,305 --> 00:03:29,207
Stasis boxes and their contents
are the only remnant of a species
41
00:03:29,309 --> 00:03:32,870
which ruled most of this galaxy
a billion years ago.
42
00:03:33,580 --> 00:03:36,572
Their effect on science
has been incalculable.
43
00:03:37,150 --> 00:03:39,118
In one was found a flying belt
44
00:03:39,219 --> 00:03:42,120
which was the key
to the artificial gravity field
45
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:43,883
used by starships.
46
00:03:44,424 --> 00:03:48,417
Another box contained a disrupter bomb
with the pin pulled.
47
00:03:49,062 --> 00:03:53,965
As a result, all stasis boxes are now
under the jurisdiction of Starfleet,
48
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:57,497
and only certain key specialists
handle them.
49
00:03:59,706 --> 00:04:02,834
The boxes are rare,
potentially dangerous,
50
00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:06,038
and we seem to have found
a second one.
51
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:15,586
I never did like
these little ice-bound worlds.
52
00:04:15,688 --> 00:04:17,747
We are not tourists here, Lieutenant.
53
00:04:17,857 --> 00:04:22,351
Mr. Spock, if it takes a stasis box
to find another stasis box,
54
00:04:22,662 --> 00:04:24,687
how did anyone ever find the first one?
55
00:04:24,797 --> 00:04:28,563
As with a number of discoveries,
purely by accident, Lieutenant.
56
00:04:29,235 --> 00:04:31,999
The other box
seems to be almost under us,
57
00:04:32,138 --> 00:04:34,129
perhaps 30 meters below the ice.
58
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,208
We won't have any trouble digging for it.
59
00:04:36,309 --> 00:04:40,336
In this low pressure, the ice should boil
as soon as the phasers melt it.
60
00:05:03,303 --> 00:05:06,101
I must take full responsibility
for this event.
61
00:05:06,205 --> 00:05:09,003
Instead of being warned
by the highly unlikely coincidence
62
00:05:09,108 --> 00:05:10,871
of a second stasis box,
63
00:05:10,977 --> 00:05:14,413
I allowed its possible value
to influence my judgment.
64
00:05:14,914 --> 00:05:17,542
The Kzinti now possess our stasis box.
65
00:05:17,817 --> 00:05:20,149
Its contents will determine
how much damage
66
00:05:20,253 --> 00:05:24,155
my error has done the Federation
and its people.
67
00:05:26,559 --> 00:05:28,891
- Where are we?
- A Kzinti spacecraft.
68
00:05:28,995 --> 00:05:30,155
That isn't good.
69
00:05:30,263 --> 00:05:32,424
Kzinti aren't supposed to have phasers,
are they?
70
00:05:32,532 --> 00:05:35,729
The Treaty of Sirius does not
permit them any weapons at all,
71
00:05:35,835 --> 00:05:37,826
beyond police vessels.
72
00:05:37,937 --> 00:05:40,906
Obviously, the treaty has been broken.
73
00:05:41,607 --> 00:05:43,074
A police web.
74
00:05:43,743 --> 00:05:47,008
We won't be able to move
unless we can turn it off somehow.
75
00:05:57,223 --> 00:06:00,590
The lean, bedraggled one
is a reader of minds.
76
00:06:00,693 --> 00:06:04,030
I've heard all Kzinti telepaths
are unhappy neurotics.
77
00:06:04,297 --> 00:06:05,696
He fits the description.
78
00:06:05,798 --> 00:06:09,097
There is no sure way
to guard our thoughts from him.
79
00:06:09,502 --> 00:06:14,098
Mr. Sulu, he is not likely to deal
with me or Lieutenant Uhura.
80
00:06:14,607 --> 00:06:17,405
She and I are inferior beings to them.
81
00:06:18,144 --> 00:06:20,442
But the Kzinti are meat eaters.
82
00:06:21,013 --> 00:06:25,313
If you sense him reading your mind,
think of eating a raw vegetable.
83
00:06:25,418 --> 00:06:29,411
Yes, sir. Maybe I can goad them
into revealing their purpose.
84
00:06:29,522 --> 00:06:31,956
Lieutenant Uhura. This may be crucial.
85
00:06:32,058 --> 00:06:35,755
In the presence of the Kzinti,
do not say anything,
86
00:06:35,862 --> 00:06:38,092
do not do anything startling.
87
00:06:38,564 --> 00:06:40,191
Try to look harmless.
88
00:06:40,299 --> 00:06:41,561
Any special reason?
89
00:06:41,667 --> 00:06:44,898
Are you forgetting
Kzinti females are dumb animals?
90
00:06:45,505 --> 00:06:46,563
In an emergency
91
00:06:46,672 --> 00:06:50,267
the Kzinti may forget a human female
is an intelligent creature.
92
00:06:50,376 --> 00:06:52,640
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
93
00:06:52,745 --> 00:06:55,578
Lieutenant, I value your intelligence,
94
00:06:55,681 --> 00:06:58,650
but we may be able
to seize an opportunity to escape
95
00:06:58,751 --> 00:07:01,720
- if the Kzinti believe you have none.
- Yes, sir.
96
00:07:02,555 --> 00:07:04,045
Identify yourself.
97
00:07:04,157 --> 00:07:07,285
Lieutenant Sulu
of the Starfleet vessel Enterprise.
98
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,187
This is First Officer Spock.
99
00:07:09,295 --> 00:07:14,164
You're a Vulcan. I feel no pressing need
to talk to an eater of roots and leaves.
100
00:07:14,467 --> 00:07:16,731
Humans at least are omnivorous.
101
00:07:17,003 --> 00:07:18,698
I am Chuft Captain.
102
00:07:18,971 --> 00:07:22,202
You are prisoners
aboard the privateer Traitor's Claw,
103
00:07:22,308 --> 00:07:23,866
a stolen police vessel.
104
00:07:23,976 --> 00:07:28,413
Stealing must be a habit with you.
This ship, two stasis boxes.
105
00:07:28,581 --> 00:07:31,379
Kzinti archaeologists found both boxes,
106
00:07:31,484 --> 00:07:33,714
but the one we managed to keep
was empty.
107
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:36,414
It served us well as bait
to draw you here,
108
00:07:36,522 --> 00:07:39,923
but the Slavers had weapons
that could devastate a galaxy.
109
00:07:40,026 --> 00:07:41,926
There could be one in that box.
110
00:07:42,028 --> 00:07:46,260
The Kzinti fought four wars
with humankind and lost all of them.
111
00:07:46,632 --> 00:07:50,295
The last one was 200 years ago,
and you haven't learned a thing since.
112
00:07:50,403 --> 00:07:52,030
Guard your speech.
113
00:07:52,338 --> 00:07:55,068
None of my crew
has yet tasted human meat
114
00:07:55,174 --> 00:07:56,971
as our ancestors did.
115
00:07:57,477 --> 00:08:00,412
We would welcome the opportunity.
116
00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:02,944
Always you have had
superior equipment.
117
00:08:03,049 --> 00:08:05,677
We seek a weapon
that will defeat you at last.
118
00:08:05,785 --> 00:08:09,152
Then you're really working
for the Kzinti government.
119
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:13,516
The records will show
the Traitor's Claw
120
00:08:13,626 --> 00:08:15,594
is a stolen police ship.
121
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:19,961
If we are captured,
the Highest of Kzin will repudiate us.
122
00:08:22,101 --> 00:08:26,231
But if we succeed,
you are meat for our tables.
123
00:08:46,292 --> 00:08:51,093
- Could that be a picture of a Slaver?
- If so, it is the first ever discovered.
124
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:55,433
- An important historical find.
- It looks like fresh meat.
125
00:08:55,701 --> 00:08:59,034
Over a billion years in that box,
and it looks fresh.
126
00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:07,244
Nothing like this has ever been found.
We are the only ones who have it.
127
00:09:07,346 --> 00:09:08,973
Look at it, human.
128
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:12,677
This weapon may well mean
the end of mankind.
129
00:09:24,096 --> 00:09:26,496
First Officer's Log, supplemental.
130
00:09:26,899 --> 00:09:31,461
The Kzinti now possess a weapon
potentially deadly to the entire galaxy.
131
00:09:32,004 --> 00:09:35,235
The extent of its power
remains to be seen.
132
00:09:35,508 --> 00:09:37,135
Have the humans moved to the surface
133
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:39,609
and be sure they are secured
in the police web.
134
00:09:39,712 --> 00:09:42,476
- We will use them to test the weapon.
- Yes, Chuft Captain.
135
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:45,312
You have observed the aliens.
Can you read their minds?
136
00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:48,512
I can read Sulu,
with difficulty, Chuft Captain.
137
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:53,589
The other human is only a female.
The third is a pacifistic herbivore.
138
00:09:53,693 --> 00:09:57,060
Surely you would not force me
to delve such minds?
139
00:09:57,163 --> 00:09:58,755
If it is necessary.
140
00:09:58,864 --> 00:10:01,924
I realize the time you need to recover
from each effort.
141
00:10:17,550 --> 00:10:21,919
Chuft Captain, we have finished testing
the meat that was in the stasis box.
142
00:10:22,021 --> 00:10:24,387
It is protoplasmic and poisonous.
143
00:10:26,325 --> 00:10:27,485
What of the picture?
144
00:10:27,593 --> 00:10:30,494
The human, Sulu,
believes it to be a Slaver.
145
00:10:32,565 --> 00:10:35,557
So do I.
It would have made a worthy enemy.
146
00:10:38,371 --> 00:10:40,066
Perhaps the toggle.
147
00:10:53,185 --> 00:10:56,154
Telepath! Am I not affecting him at all?
148
00:10:56,288 --> 00:11:00,122
- Is it the life support belt interfering?
- No, Chuft Captain.
149
00:11:00,326 --> 00:11:03,625
He hears a faint whine,
but he feels no ill effects.
150
00:11:03,863 --> 00:11:06,764
There is a vibration
in the metal of his belt.
151
00:11:07,366 --> 00:11:10,699
Chuft Captain, he is too alien.
152
00:11:10,803 --> 00:11:14,569
He makes me taste yellow root
munched between flat teeth.
153
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:17,734
Be glad if you need not read
the Vulcan's mind.
154
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:22,644
It may be a communications device,
155
00:11:22,748 --> 00:11:26,707
or a sonic stunner designed to affect
members of a race now dead.
156
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:36,628
A good serviceable telescope.
They built well, these Slavers.
157
00:11:39,932 --> 00:11:43,424
It is of no use to us.
We already have small telescopes.
158
00:11:53,179 --> 00:11:57,377
I give you credit, human.
You are not afraid to die.
159
00:11:58,084 --> 00:11:59,574
Merely a laser.
160
00:11:59,785 --> 00:12:01,776
The Federation has had
a more effective model
161
00:12:01,887 --> 00:12:03,377
for over 100 years.
162
00:12:22,308 --> 00:12:24,003
Telepath's suit is ruptured!
163
00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:26,476
Never mind that.
The female is escaping!
164
00:12:26,579 --> 00:12:30,106
- What of it?
- Fool! Human females are intelligent.
165
00:12:42,194 --> 00:12:44,719
Telepath's suit
lost considerable pressure.
166
00:12:44,830 --> 00:12:46,422
We reached the ship
in time to save him.
167
00:12:46,532 --> 00:12:48,762
Good. We will need him later.
168
00:12:48,868 --> 00:12:51,632
- What is this?
- Perhaps a personal rocket motor.
169
00:12:51,737 --> 00:12:53,967
One could place one's foot
on the pedals and balance.
170
00:12:54,073 --> 00:12:56,667
It appears to be transportation,
not a weapon.
171
00:12:56,809 --> 00:12:59,209
- Nice try.
- I'm slowing down.
172
00:12:59,545 --> 00:13:02,343
I used to run the 100 in record time.
173
00:13:02,515 --> 00:13:05,814
- How long was I out? Did I miss much?
- Not much.
174
00:13:07,219 --> 00:13:09,483
A lot of good they'll get
out of that rocket setting.
175
00:13:09,588 --> 00:13:13,024
We are fortunate none of the settings
so far have been superior
176
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:16,322
to the technology
now available to the Federation.
177
00:13:18,531 --> 00:13:21,659
No gun sight. No obvious way to aim it.
178
00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:30,805
- Mr. Spock. I can move.
- So can I.
179
00:13:31,343 --> 00:13:32,605
The police web is off.
180
00:13:32,711 --> 00:13:35,874
The fifth setting
seems to be an energy absorber.
181
00:13:36,615 --> 00:13:38,014
Fascinating.
182
00:13:38,384 --> 00:13:40,818
I had no idea
the Slavers had such things.
183
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,979
- Mr. Spock, we...
- Yes.
184
00:13:43,522 --> 00:13:46,047
When I give the word,
make for the shuttle.
185
00:13:46,458 --> 00:13:48,187
Remember to zigzag.
186
00:13:48,828 --> 00:13:51,160
Ready? Go.
187
00:14:17,857 --> 00:14:21,020
- Chuft Captain, what happened?
- I would rather not discuss it.
188
00:14:21,126 --> 00:14:22,991
Help me into the ship.
189
00:14:27,299 --> 00:14:30,291
Mr. Spock!
I thought it was one of the aliens.
190
00:14:30,402 --> 00:14:31,733
I have the weapon.
191
00:14:31,837 --> 00:14:34,806
They've got Uhura. And subspace radio.
192
00:14:35,107 --> 00:14:37,041
They can call for help
from the Kzin planet
193
00:14:37,142 --> 00:14:40,805
- if they think the weapon's worth it.
- No, they cannot.
194
00:14:40,913 --> 00:14:43,211
Or rather, will not.
195
00:14:43,315 --> 00:14:46,079
- Why?
- Because I kicked Chuft Captain.
196
00:14:47,052 --> 00:14:48,280
Consider.
197
00:14:48,387 --> 00:14:52,289
Chuft Captain has been attacked
by an herbivorous pacifist,
198
00:14:52,625 --> 00:14:57,153
an eater of leaves and roots,
one who traditionally does not fight.
199
00:14:57,529 --> 00:14:59,588
And the ultimate insult,
200
00:14:59,698 --> 00:15:01,598
I left him alive.
201
00:15:02,001 --> 00:15:04,401
Chuft Captain's honor is at stake.
202
00:15:04,503 --> 00:15:08,337
He must seek personal revenge
before he can call for help.
203
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,408
That gives us some time.
204
00:15:11,176 --> 00:15:13,667
- You did plan it that way?
- Of course.
205
00:15:13,779 --> 00:15:17,681
As long as you stay free,
the Kzinti can't or won't do anything.
206
00:15:17,783 --> 00:15:20,183
But they could use Lieutenant Uhura
as a bribe.
207
00:15:20,286 --> 00:15:22,880
Agreed. However, to this point,
208
00:15:22,988 --> 00:15:25,252
we have not seen
anything more powerful
209
00:15:25,357 --> 00:15:28,383
- than equipment Starfleet already has.
- Yes.
210
00:15:29,428 --> 00:15:31,191
But I have a feeling, Mr. Spock.
211
00:15:31,297 --> 00:15:35,358
This weapon must have
belonged to a spy, an espionage agent.
212
00:15:35,467 --> 00:15:39,198
I acknowledge your expertise
in the field of weapons, Mr. Sulu,
213
00:15:39,305 --> 00:15:42,274
but I do not see how you can
determine probable ownership.
214
00:15:42,374 --> 00:15:45,537
Well, here, look at it. All these settings.
215
00:15:46,278 --> 00:15:49,975
We don't know a common Slaver soldier
couldn't handle them,
216
00:15:50,516 --> 00:15:53,781
but as a weapon,
only the laser is effective.
217
00:15:54,586 --> 00:15:57,680
The others aren't necessary
for the line soldier's one purpose,
218
00:15:57,790 --> 00:15:59,052
to destroy the enemy.
219
00:15:59,158 --> 00:16:01,422
Assuming it's a spy weapon then,
220
00:16:01,527 --> 00:16:04,894
the Slavers would have wanted
to keep it a secret weapon.
221
00:16:04,997 --> 00:16:09,229
If so, it is logical to assume
it has a self-destruct setting, too.
222
00:16:09,335 --> 00:16:12,270
- But we've seen all the phases.
- Perhaps not.
223
00:16:12,504 --> 00:16:16,497
There is the null setting.
It seems to do nothing.
224
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:19,238
But why should it be there?
225
00:16:19,812 --> 00:16:22,645
It does not correspond to a safety lock.
226
00:16:27,086 --> 00:16:28,986
It may be the key to another setting.
227
00:16:35,761 --> 00:16:38,662
This is the Traitor's Claw
calling Mr. Sulu.
228
00:16:39,198 --> 00:16:41,496
We have the female prisoner.
229
00:16:41,967 --> 00:16:45,562
Will you bargain,
or must we take harsh action?
230
00:16:48,540 --> 00:16:51,532
It will not be pleasant for her.
231
00:16:56,849 --> 00:16:58,009
I repeat.
232
00:16:58,117 --> 00:17:00,711
We have the female prisoner
as hostage.
233
00:17:00,819 --> 00:17:02,844
You have something we want.
234
00:17:02,955 --> 00:17:05,890
We will trade her life
for the Slaver weapon.
235
00:17:06,458 --> 00:17:08,892
- Answer him, Lieutenant.
- Lieutenant Sulu here.
236
00:17:08,994 --> 00:17:11,622
- What about Mr. Spock?
- He must surrender.
237
00:17:11,730 --> 00:17:14,995
- I will offer him single combat.
- Not interested.
238
00:17:15,100 --> 00:17:19,434
I am as the Vulcan left me,
with two ribs broken.
239
00:17:19,838 --> 00:17:22,602
I have not set them
nor bandaged myself.
240
00:17:23,108 --> 00:17:25,269
He may conceivably kill me.
241
00:17:25,444 --> 00:17:28,140
Kzinti ribs have some vertical bracing.
242
00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:30,712
But I kicked him over one heart.
243
00:17:32,051 --> 00:17:35,919
I compute the odds
of my defeating Chuft Captain in combat
244
00:17:36,021 --> 00:17:38,421
at 16-to-1 against.
245
00:17:38,524 --> 00:17:40,151
Offer refused.
246
00:17:40,259 --> 00:17:42,318
They think very little of you.
247
00:17:42,428 --> 00:17:45,226
Wrong. They don't think much of you.
248
00:17:51,503 --> 00:17:54,301
A self-destruct mechanism
would not have a gun sight.
249
00:17:54,406 --> 00:17:56,931
No. Let's see what this does do.
250
00:18:04,183 --> 00:18:06,117
We can't give them that!
251
00:18:06,618 --> 00:18:08,017
Fascinating.
252
00:18:08,454 --> 00:18:12,117
No world in the Federation
has produced anything so powerful.
253
00:18:12,224 --> 00:18:14,624
Almost beyond theoretical limits.
254
00:18:15,194 --> 00:18:20,325
Total conversion of matter to energy
at a distance.
255
00:18:20,466 --> 00:18:23,958
If the Kzinti had that the whole galaxy
would be their dinner table.
256
00:18:26,238 --> 00:18:27,705
Hit the dirt!
257
00:18:59,438 --> 00:19:03,374
- What would this be?
- I have no idea. It is generating power.
258
00:19:04,776 --> 00:19:08,735
There is a grid. It may be
another communications device.
259
00:19:09,648 --> 00:19:11,240
But that seems redundant.
260
00:19:17,022 --> 00:19:18,717
It has the Kzinti frightened.
261
00:19:18,824 --> 00:19:22,658
The Kzinti have legends of weapons
haunted by their owners.
262
00:19:22,761 --> 00:19:24,888
Could it be
a voice-activated mechanism?
263
00:19:24,997 --> 00:19:27,966
No. It appears to be
conversing with them.
264
00:19:28,734 --> 00:19:31,897
A reasoning computer that small?
265
00:19:32,004 --> 00:19:34,472
How long has it been
since you were turned off?
266
00:19:34,573 --> 00:19:37,133
I do not know.
267
00:19:37,609 --> 00:19:39,577
When I am off,
268
00:19:39,678 --> 00:19:44,206
I have no sense of passing time.
269
00:19:44,316 --> 00:19:48,275
- What is the last thing you remember?
- We were on a mission.
270
00:19:48,387 --> 00:19:50,685
I may not tell you of it
271
00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:54,953
unless you know certain code words.
272
00:19:55,060 --> 00:19:57,585
If you could describe
the positions of the stars in your sector,
273
00:19:57,696 --> 00:19:59,926
we would know how much time
has passed since then.
274
00:20:00,032 --> 00:20:02,500
Without certain code words,
275
00:20:02,601 --> 00:20:06,196
I may not describe our location.
276
00:20:06,305 --> 00:20:09,536
One of the settings on this weapon
was a total conversion beam.
277
00:20:09,641 --> 00:20:12,269
We saw it. Tell us how to find it.
278
00:20:12,811 --> 00:20:15,177
Twist my widdershins
279
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,183
until you reach the null position.
280
00:20:20,586 --> 00:20:22,679
- Then...
- They've got it.
281
00:20:22,788 --> 00:20:26,019
- There must be something we can do.
- Most peculiar.
282
00:20:37,469 --> 00:20:40,495
That was not
the total conversion beam setting.
283
00:20:42,608 --> 00:20:45,873
Like others, this form
seems to possess no gun sight.
284
00:20:45,978 --> 00:20:48,811
It may be a broad-beam weapon,
for use only from orbit.
285
00:20:48,914 --> 00:20:52,213
We saw its power. I suggest you fire
at a very distant target.
286
00:20:52,317 --> 00:20:53,648
Very well.
287
00:20:54,419 --> 00:20:56,444
We can't let them have that weapon.
288
00:20:56,555 --> 00:20:59,490
- They are not about to get it, Lieutenant.
- Why not?
289
00:20:59,591 --> 00:21:04,153
Assume you are a Slaver war computer.
You've been turned off.
290
00:21:04,529 --> 00:21:06,622
You do not know for how long,
291
00:21:06,732 --> 00:21:10,224
but when you were turned off,
there was a war on.
292
00:21:11,436 --> 00:21:14,701
Now you are awakened
by aliens you never saw before.
293
00:21:15,207 --> 00:21:18,267
They do not know
any of the military passwords.
294
00:21:18,610 --> 00:21:22,546
They ask you so many questions
it is obvious they know little about you.
295
00:21:22,748 --> 00:21:26,582
Your owner is nowhere about.
What would you think?
296
00:21:26,685 --> 00:21:30,815
I'd think I'd been captured by the enemy.
Or an enemy, at least.
297
00:21:30,922 --> 00:21:34,949
And when they asked you how to find
your most powerful weapon setting,
298
00:21:35,060 --> 00:21:37,028
what would you give them?
299
00:21:43,869 --> 00:21:45,996
Activate life support belts.
300
00:21:48,173 --> 00:21:52,405
- A disrupter field.
- Yes. Another conventional weapon.
301
00:21:53,045 --> 00:21:55,104
It appears the total conversion beam
302
00:21:55,213 --> 00:21:58,114
was the only thing the Slavers had
that we do not.
303
00:21:59,484 --> 00:22:01,884
No sign of the weapon, of course.
304
00:22:02,521 --> 00:22:05,251
It would have looked nice
in some museum.
305
00:22:05,490 --> 00:22:07,981
It never would have reached
the museum, Lieutenant.
306
00:22:08,093 --> 00:22:10,891
There was too much power
in that one setting.
307
00:22:10,996 --> 00:22:14,488
If not the Kzinti,
the Klingons or some other species
308
00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:16,533
would have tried to possess it.
309
00:22:26,912 --> 00:22:32,145
Strange, how the past sometimes
breaks through into the present.
310
00:22:33,151 --> 00:22:38,748
That ancient war could have sparked
a new war between man and Kzinti.
311
00:22:38,857 --> 00:22:41,417
Didn't you say the Kzinti
have legends of weapons
312
00:22:41,526 --> 00:22:43,050
haunted by their dead owners?
313
00:22:43,161 --> 00:22:46,289
Yes, an ancient superstition.
314
00:22:47,766 --> 00:22:51,827
At this rate, they'll never get over
those old superstitions.
