Scotty, any news on the Lexington?

Aye, a crew from the rescue. But they had to scuttle the ship.

Eight.

Eight starships, sir.

Scuttle and accretion, this can be a dangerous business.

Got caught in the plasma jet. Well, at least there were no casualties.

Aye, there were.

The Lexington.

Notify all adjacent civilizations to avoid that system.

Aye, sir.

All right, middle shift, that'll be all. You're officially relieved.

It is unlikely that can be fixed with

standard procedure.

Good night.

Hey. Oh, Eliza.

Where do you think you're going? We're headed to the rec room. Join us.

My bed's calling me.

My vodka martini's calling me.

That's a powerful call to resist.

We'll take a rain check?

Yeah, sure.

Have a good night.

Night.

There she goes, sir.

Working double shifts, are we now, Mr. Checkman?

Sounds like somebody really wants some stripes.

Force. Hold breach, Captain.

Forward deck four.

Hold breach.

Meteoroid, Captain.

Traveling at near light speed.

That's impossible.

Secure deflection.

Notify damage control teams.

Report on any casualties.

to level four, section three. What happened? Meteorite impact, deck four.

Repeat. Maintenance to level four. The navigational deflector should have

this, sir.

Mr. LaFalle, some answers, please.

Scott here. Glad I came down.

My engineers on deck four have put a breach over two meters wide.

They can't find it.

Find what?

They never made the blast at all. There's nothing there.

Captain, reading additional damage on an internal bulkhead.

Deck four?

Yes, sir. Aft wall, section three.

Captain, now deck five is reporting a rupture. In the ceiling, sir.

Signal all decks.

We've been boarded.

All decks, intruder alert. Repeat, we have an intruder on board.

Repeat, all decks, intruder alert. We have an intruder on board.

The final frontier.

These are the voyages of the starship

Enterprise.

Its continuing mission. To explore strange new worlds.

To seek out new life and new civilizations.

To boldly go where no man has gone before.

Captain's log, stardate 6257 .4.

Something or someone has pierced our primary house and is making its way

the Enterprise.

Captain, whatever it is has damaged a sufficient number of conduits to

compromise our power grid.

Confirmed. Engines are offline.

Edson? What is it?

On our way.

Sir, I believe I could assist you.

Yes,

sir.

Cat, hold this position. Dickerson, on point.

I'm sorry, sir.

What was it? What did you see?

It was enormous.

Like... Stone.

I threw it at it and it ran away.

You better get to thick, then. Dr. McCoy will give you a one -way.

I'm fine, really.

I'm just a bit scared.

Please, please.

Please find him.

Captain, in the corridor.

Spock, reading.

What are you?

Can you understand me?

Wilson here, sir.

Chief, how are you with intrusion beaming? I'm a bit of an expert.

Good. The intruder is at my location.

Lock onto it and beam it out of there.

Captain, there's no reading for me to lock onto.

The alien must be generating some sort of sensor shock.

Anson, you're supposed to be off -duty right now.

Sorry, Captain, I couldn't sleep.

I'll admit that it leaves a strong impression.

Yes, it does.

Bones?

It's a rock.

We think the creature can hide from our scans.

Sometimes. I've been able to detect several hearts beating at different

No lungs, very high salt levels, and...

That's it.

There's just not enough data.

I am perplexed by its biology as well.

The exoskeleton is quite formidable.

Complex living polymer chains interwoven with infrangible metals and minerals.

I am not able to calculate how it propels itself at such high velocities,

although obviously it does.

Nor am I able to determine how it survives the vacuum of space.

But obviously it does.

It could be a species of nomadic extremophile.

Extremophore?

We have previously encountered Cosmozoa, space -faring organisms that need no

atmosphere to survive.

Gentlemen, we know it's here.

The question now is why.

With Lieutenant Uhura's assistance, I have attempted to tune the ship's

universal translators to compensate for the creature's unusual vocalizations.

You're the human in account.

I'm sorry if I hurt you.

What are you called?

Do you have a name?

Husti.

Husti. Husti.

Ask him why it broke into the ship.

Husti.

Why'd it come here?

Oh, what?

Fuck. Keep at it.

Whatever it is, it's trying to communicate with us.

Or it's trying to threaten us.

Mr. Sulu?

Not another intruder, sir. More like a controlled shockwave directed at the

Enterprise.

Stronger than the last one.

It's a two -component wave, sir.

One penetrates.

One reflects back.

Echolocation? It's a form of echolocation, Captain.

Someone's searching for something.

Lieutenant, can you calculate the origin of the pulses?

Aye, sir. I should be able to talk more.

Captain, another shockwave approaching.

This one's different.

Significantly stronger. Maneuvering thruster. It's hard to start it. It's

fast, sir. More power to the forward shields.

Disobedient, though. Your weapon, sir.

I'm in charge.

You'll respect me.

See what you made me do?

Commander Spock, report.

Spock, answer me!

Is anyone else feeling... unusual?

I feel... sufficient, sir.

Almost paranoia. Yes.

Resentment? Sickbay to bridge.

Captain, you better get down.

What happened?

He's got broken ribs, a ruptured spleen. At least I think it was his spleen. I

have no time for levity, Doctor. Neither do I.

Whatever those waves are doing to us, it's affecting Spock a dozen times more.

The mesial frontal cortex suppresses emotions in Vulcans, but his is working

hard I'm afraid it's going to burn up.

Captain.

Lock me up.

I must be isolated.

Spock.

McCoy's trying to figure out why... No.

I am very dangerous.

Far away.

An agenda.

Spock, the rage that you're experiencing, we're all feeling it.

The energy waves are somehow, but with me, it reaches deeper.

A part I share with no one.

More than my human half.

It is awakening.

primitive, savage side of my Vulcan mind.

It is a darkness I cannot control.

Bridge to Captain Kirk.

What? Another energy wave approaching, Captain.

Readings are off the scale.

Set forward shields to maximum.

Impact in six seconds.

You must stop me by any means necessary.

Cannot control what I will do

Put him in the brig. Jim, you can't lock him up. He asked for it!

It's my ship. I decide the punishment for insubordination.

Punishment? Jim, he's not himself.

Neither are you.

Put him in sickbay, double the restraint.

And the next time, whether it's Spock, or that pathetic creature, or the ship's

surgeon,

I don't know.

Is it clear?

Very clear.

Sir?

Ow!

You can't analyze a triaxulated signal like that.

I'm sorry.

If you aren't capable of following instructions, you don't belong in that

uniform.

You know, you should get that looked at.

You think?

Where's that thing?

Well?

Sir, we've located the source of the waves. It's a ship about 10 ,000

kilometers.

Listen to me.

The only thing that matters, the only thing, is to find that delinquent little

brat.

Get him off my bridge.

I don't want to see his face. We can find a corner.

Ship wide.

Sure. Ship wide.

Gladly.

Captain, in case any of you are confused about your duties, let me spell it out

for you.

There's an intruder aboard my ship, and finding him is the singular priority

above all else.

He's undisciplined, disobedient.

All personnel are ordered to locate and apprehend this intruder.

He thinks he's smarter than us.

He's defying us.

He needs to be taught a lesson.

Use all available force necessary.

It's McKenna!

I didn't know who else to call.

I think he knows these ways.

He seems to be... He's more afraid each time one hits us.

Are you okay?

You look like you've been in a fight.

Oh.

Yeah. And I started it.

You must have done something to deserve this. No, no, no, no, no. Okay.

Okay.

Whatever these pulses are, it's making it impossible to think clearly.

It's getting harder to manage the anger.

Maybe anger management's the wrong path.

I mean, we can't stop the emotion. Why even try?

We've got to target the action centers.

How?

Alpha wave inducers.

They're used for psychological trauma.

McCoy has a supply.

I can't just march in there and take them.

Leave McCoy to me.

Damn it, Doctor!

What makes you think you can barge into my sickbay like you own nothing?

Sarah, I need the mobile alpha wave inducers.

All of them.

you think you're doing.

My orders were to search the ship for that creature.

Do not tell me how to do my job.

Do you want the engines fixed or no? The engines are expendable.

Is that so?

Let me show you what's expendable.

I thought Neoda could be of help speaking with the alien.

Oostie. His name's Oostie.

I tried fine -tuning the translator, but he's not saying anything.

I think he's running from that ship.

So he came here seeking sanctuary.

Well, maybe we can give it to him.

Engineering.

The waves, they dissipate as they go through the Enterprise.

If we take the alien to... Oostie, to the aft section...

then the enemy vessel should have a harder time locating them.

But even if we get them there, we have to clear the engine room.

I'll have to make some adjustments to tie into my linguistic matrix, but how

we going to get them all the way to engineering?

I guess I better make friends with the transporter chief.

Have you seen that creature?

Emergency. We have a work core coolant leak. All personnel evacuate engineering

deck.

Mr. Scott is in the brig.

Meet me in the transporter room in five minutes.

Repeat. Coolant leak. All engineering personnel evacuate immediately.

Repeat. Coolant leak. All engineering personnel evacuate immediately.

Repeat. Coolant leak. All engineering personnel evacuate immediately.

I'm glad you're on our side.

Repeat. Coolant leak. All engineering personnel evacuate immediately.

Repeat. Coolant leak. All engineering personnel evacuate immediately.

Dickard, can you feel the doors? Yes.

Well, look what we have here.

Step away from the console, Chief.

Belay that order.

I said step away from the console!

Sir, I don't... Barbara?

It's me.

Put the phaser down.

He is going to get what he deserves.

Why? Why?

Let me give you one of these.

Okay?

Trust me.

Kirk to Smith.

I want to know when the transporter room's secure.

I'm secure.

It's secure now.

It's okay.

I'm here.

How

is

he?

All right, for now.

What's the plan?

I don't know.

Go ahead, British.

Sir, the enemy vessel is cruising fast, but it's not the ship.

Pipe it down here.

Captain's log supplemented. The Enterprise is face -to -face with the

has been flooding the ship with energy waves.

And Usti, our stowaway, would appear to be a member of its species.

Bob. Captain.

What do we know about it?

Definitely the same type of organism as our visitor.

Obviously, proportionately, much larger.

Like an adult to a child.

Shields at 80%. Based on what we have experienced, Captain, it is reasonable

assume that the creature is quite angry.

And once Uzi returns... Welcome back, Mr. Scott. We need engines online.

Captain, my behavior... I'll fire you later.

Get to work.

Lieutenant, open a channel.

Hatch in the translator upgrade.

Aye, sir.

Alien entity.

This is Captain James T. Kirk of the United Starship Enterprise.

Discontinue your attack on our ship immediately.

No reply on any frequency, sir.

Captain!

Forward shields at 50%. Phasers on out.

Navigations offline.

We cannot run.

The logical decision is to release Uzi into the creature's custody.

Captain, we can't.

The region on its back seems to be generating the waves.

Logical assumption, Captain.

Load photon torpedo tubes. Target that region.

Torpedoes armed and ready.

Fire.

Those people protect.

No. No, Eusebio.

We must protect.

No. Please don't go out there.

Please. Please don't go.

Direct hit.

The alien's biofines are fluctuating.

We appear to have injured it.

Hostile is accelerating. It's on an intercept course, Captain. We're loaded

torpedoes. Captain, the parent lifeform will likely not survive another torpedo

impact. Do we know what this is, parent?

Yes.

Luthier has positioned himself directly between the Enterprise and his father.

The creature has stopped.

Very open

Unknown

entity

Surely you must know you nearly died here today.

We all did.

You filled me, you filled all of us with your anger.

And for some reason that anger was directed at your child.

He was scared, he was hiding, and yet he still protected you.

Captain, they're moving off.

Where are they going?

He saved his father's life today.

Only time will tell if they'll make a difference.

Captain, I believe I owe you a profound apology.

Well, there's a lot of that going around right now. I think everyone on this

ship owes someone an apology.

I forgive you. And I'm sorry for shooting you.

I forgive you.

But it was the logical decision, given the circumstances.

I must also confess to being perhaps a bit frustrated with the inability to

control my actions.

Well, that wasn't your fault, Spock.

McCoy will be sending me the bill for the wall in Thick Bay, I'm sure.

He should be sending it to me.

Something else, Captain?

Speaking of frustrating.

Sir?

I've gotten so used to being able to persuade with words.

Getting others to see things in a new and different way, give arousing speech.

And it was frustrating not to be able to do the same thing with Usti's father.

Did you genuinely expect you could convince him to change a deeply

behavior simply with your words?

Well, now that you put it that way...

I don't know what I expected.

But I didn't expect silence.

I wonder, what would it take to change

someone like that?

In my conversations with Dr. McKenna, we have discussed

the many differences between people.

The multitude of paths that everyone walks through life, some easy, some

difficult. And a reoccurring observation has been made.

One is much more able to lead another down an unfamiliar path when one has

already been down that path oneself.

I think I found something.

Transfer it to this computer.

Right there.

Captain, you might like to see this.

I just wanted to tell you both.

I just apologize to Dr. McCoy myself.

It's okay.

It wasn't you.

It's not hard for rage to take control of good people.

How about that drink we promised ourselves, huh? Yes.

I'll catch up with you girls.

At ease, Vincent.

We've analyzed the alien's ion trail.

Seems they're in a comet cloud not far from here.

Spock, are you ready?

We're within range of the comet cloud now, Captain.

Very good.

Lieutenant, open a channel.

Patch in the ship's translators to the comm.

Aye, sir.

I wasn't able to reach him.

Perhaps you can.

I don't know what your name is.

Mine's Liza.

When your son came to us, I knew he chose me for a reason.

I didn't know why.

Now I know.

Your son loves you very, very much.

Just like I love my father.

I know in my heart that you're not a monster.

But every time you lash out in anger at your son, you become

less the father he loves.

And more the monster he fears.

Please.

Please find a way to heal yourself.

Because my father never did.

Him. Love.

Change. For Rusty.

Change. For Rusty.

Maybe...

Change begins when someone reaches you.

I'd say you reached him.
