THE FINAL FRONTIER. Kirk: SPACE:

OF THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE. THESE ARE THE VOYAGES

TO EXPLORE STRANGE NEW WORLDS, ITS FIVE-YEAR MISSION:

AND NEW CIVILIZATIONS, TO SEEK OUT NEW LIFE

WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE. TO BOLDLY GO

Kirk: CAPTAIN'S LOG, STARDATE 5499.9.

WE ARE ORBITING THE PLANET ARGO.

ARGO WAS ONCE A LAND PLANET,

BUT ITS SURFACE IS NOW ALMOST COMPLETELY COVERED BY WATER.

VIOLENT SEISMIC DISTURBANCES. THE CHANGE WAS CAUSED BY

TO STUDY THE EFFECTS WHICH THE QUAKES OUR MISSION IS

AND OTHER PHENOMENA HAD ON ITS SURFACE.

SAVE MILLIONS OF LIVES THIS KNOWLEDGE MAY

ON A FEDERATION PLANET IDENTICAL TO ARGO

WHICH WILL SOON BE UNDERGOING SIMILAR TRANSFORMATION.

ON THE PLANET, ISN'T IT, SPOCK? THIS IS THE LARGEST LAND MASS

Spock: YES, CAPTAIN.

MERE OUTCROPPINGS. THE OTHERS ARE

THEY SUGGEST THE PEAKS OF SUBMERGED MOUNTAINS.

WELL, I SUGGEST THAT WE GET THESE SEAWATER AND ALGAE SPECIMENS.

THEY'RE THE LEAST OF THE LOT.

I AGREE WITH YOU, DOCTOR. FOR ONCE,

THE MORE INFORMATIVE SPECIMENS

FROM THE SEA BOTTOM. WILL COME

LIEUTENANT CLAYTON, OPEN THE HATCH

AND LET OUR TWO SCIENTISTS HERE GET ON WITH THEIR BUSINESS.

[CRASHING] AYE, SIR.

WHAT'S THAT?

PHASERS ON STUN, MR. SPOCK.

FIRING, CAPTAIN.

WHAT THE DEVIL WAS THAT THING?

APPARENTLY A LIFE FORM

WHICH PREVIOUS SURVEYS HAVE NOT RECORDED.

LET'S GET A CLOSER LOOK AT IT BEFORE THE PHASER STUN WEARS OFF.

SUBMERGE, LIEUTENANT.

AYE, SIR.

DUAL RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. McCoy:

LUNGS AND GILLS.

TO THAT OF A DENEBIAN WHALE, ITS SKELETON IS SIMILAR CAPTAIN.

[CRASHING]

IT'S REGAINING CONSCIOUSNESS.

SURFACE, MR. CLAYTON.

Clayton: AYE, SIR.

[ROARING]

TO FIRE PHASERS. SPOCK, PREPARE

PHASERS DO NOT RESPOND, CAPTAIN.

WE MUST HAVE SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE POWER PACK

WHEN THE CREATURE STRUCK US.

[ROARS]

KIRK TO ENTERPRISE. EMERGENCY.

Scotty: ENTERPRISE. WHAT IS IT, SIR?

BEAM US ABOARD, SCOTTY. WE'RE UNDER ATTACK.

[ROARING]

Scotty: WE'VE LOST CONTACT, CAPTAIN.

REPEAT, WE'VE LOST CONTACT.

COME IN, CAPTAIN. COME IN.

SHIP'S LOG, STARDATE 5504.2.

LIEUTENANT COMMANDER SCOTT IN COMMAND.

AND FIRST OFFICER SPOCK CAPTAIN KIRK

FOR ALMOST FIVE DAYS. HAVE BEEN MISSING

SEARCH PARTIES CAN FIND OR THE AQUA-SHUTTLE. NO TRACE OF THEM

CONTINUING THE SEARCH DR. McCOY AND I ARE

AT A GREATER DISTANCE FROM THE ATTACK POINT.

[SIGHING] THERE'S NOTHING. THERE'S JUST NOTHING.

I SEE SOME ROCKS.

THEY'RE JUST ABOVE SEA LEVEL, ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY.

THERE'S SOMETHING ON THEM.

MAYBE THEY'RE STILL ALIVE.

THEIR BODIES ARE FUNCTIONING.

METABOLISM, HEART.

EVERYTHING BUT THE LUNGS.

[INHALING]

CAN'T BREATHE.

SUFFOCATING.

[GASPING]

HELP. CAN'T BREATHE.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM, DOCTOR? WHAT IS IT?

THEIR WHOLE LUNG STRUCTURE. SOMETHING'S CHANGED

IN THE AIR ANYMORE. THEY CAN'T LIVE

McCoy: MEDICAL LOG, STARDATE 5506.2.

WERE RESCUED 48 HOURS AGO. AND FIRST OFFICER SPOCK CAPTAIN KIRK

THEY HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM

AFTER THEY WERE ATTACKED,

BUT MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS SHOW

AN UNIDENTIFIED SUBSTANCE IN THE BLOODSTREAM

THEIR ENTIRE METABOLISM HAS AFFECTED

INTO WATER-BREATHERS. AND CHANGED THEM

IS COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED, THEIR INTERNAL STRUCTURE

WITH A TRANSPARENT FILM, AND EVEN THEIR EYES ARE COVERED

LIKE THE SECOND EYELID OF A FISH.

TO RETURN THEM TO NORMAL SO FAR ALL EFFORTS HAVE FAILED.

WE'RE STUMPED, JIM.

MAJOR FACTOR IN YOUR MUTATION, THE HORMONE SEEMS TO BE THE

BUT WE JUST CAN'T IDENTIFY IT.

ARE YOU SURE THE MUTATION WASN'T SOMEHOW ACCOMPLISHED NATURALLY?

IT WAS INFUSED INTO YOUR BODIES AT KEY STRUCTURAL POINTS.

IT HAD TO BE DONE BY INJECTION.

BUT CAN'T YOU DUPLICATE IT, BONES?

YOUR MEDICAL COMPUTERS HAVE INFORMATION

IN THE FEDERATION'S HOSPITALS. ON EVERY PROCEDURE

OH, IT'S HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED AND COMPLETELY UNKNOWN TO US.

THAT IMPLIES THERE ARE INTELLIGENT LIFE FORMS ON ARGO.

THE SENSORS DON'T INDICATE ANY LIFE FORMS DOWN THERE, McCoy:

ASIDE FROM FISH.

THEY DID FAIL TO INDICATE

THE LARGE MARINE CREATURE THAT ATTACKED US.

PERHAPS THE READINGS ARE INCOMPLETE,

BLOCKED BY UNDERWATER PRESSURE FORCES.

OCEANS ARE LESS TURBULENT AT GREATER DEPTH.

SUCH CONDITIONS WOULD BE MORE SUITABLE TO INTELLIGENT FORMS.

McCoy: WELL, WE CAN'T DO MUCH UNDERWATER EXPLORATION

WITHOUT THE AQUA-SHUTTLE.

IS TOO LIMITED. OUR EQUIPMENT

WE AREN'T LIMITED.

WE CAN GO WHEREVER WE WANT IN THAT OCEAN.

McCoy: IT'S TOO RISKY, JIM.

ARGO'S ALMOST TOTALLY UNEXPLORED.

YOU'D BE OUT OF CONTACT RANGE, UNARMED.

I HAVE TO, BONES.

LOOK AT THIS PLACE. A TANK.

FROM INSIDE AN AQUARIUM. I CAN'T COMMAND A SHIP

I CAN'T LIVE IN HERE.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, JIM,

BUT IF YOU GO DOWN ON THAT PLANET AND YOU DIE THERE...

WE HAVE ONLY TWO CHOICES. RIGHT NOW,

LIVE IN AN AQUARIUM SOMEWHERE FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES

OR STAY ON ARGO.

EITHER ONE OF THEM. I WON'T ACCEPT

WHAT ABOUT YOU, SPOCK?

WHAT DOES YOUR LOGIC TELL YOU?

THE CAPTAIN STATES THE CASE EMOTIONALLY, OF COURSE,

BUT CORRECTLY.

I WOULD BE OF LITTLE VALUE TO THIS SHIP

TO A TANK IN SICKBAY. IF I AM CONFINED

I MUST ACCOMPANY THE CAPTAIN.

THIS KIND OF MUTATION THAT CAN PRODUCE AN INTELLIGENCE

CAN CHANGE US BACK.

WE'VE GOT TO FIND IT, BONES.

IT MUST BE THERE.

WE'LL MAKE CONTACT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, MR. SCOTT.

AYE, SIR.

GO AWAY, AIR-BREATHERS. YOU'RE NOT WANTED HERE.

WE WON'T HARM YOU. WE'RE FRIENDS.

LEAVE US.

IT IS ENOUGH OUR YOUNG SAVED YOUR LIVES ONCE.

NOTHING WILL SAVE YOU AGAIN. IF YOU GO ON,

WAIT! LISTEN!

GO AWAY!

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THEY'D SAVED US ONCE. THEY SAID

I BELIEVE THE PHRASE WAS,

"OUR YOUNG SAVED YOUR LIVES ONCE."

YES, AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO APPROVE.

THE ANSWER APPEARS TO BE IN THAT DIRECTION, SPOCK.

Spock: I WOULD SAY SO, CAPTAIN.

OF ALL FRIGHTENED CREATURES THE INSTINCTIVE REACTION

TO A PLACE OF SAFETY. IS TO RETREAT

FASCINATING.

AND BEAUTIFUL.

AN UNDERSEA CIVILIZATION Kirk:

OF FANTASTIC ARCHITECTURE. CAPABLE

UNHEARD OF IN OUR GALAXY. MEDICAL TRIUMPHS

AFRAID OF US, SPOCK? WHY SHOULD THEY BE

IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE, CAPTAIN,

GROTESQUE AND UGLY. THAT THEY FIND US

AND MANY PEOPLE FEAR BEINGS DIFFERENT FROM THEMSELVES.

WELL, SPECULATION ISN'T MUCH HELP.

WE HAVE TO GET IN THERE.

A WAY OPEN ON THE FAR SIDE. Spock: PERHAPS THERE IS

THERE IS MUCH LESS ACTIVITY THERE.

THAT BUILDING IN THE CENTER.

IT SEEMS TO BE IMPORTANT.

THESE ARE THE SPIES, TRIBUNE!

AIR-BREATHERS.

YOU STAND BEFORE THE RULING TRIBUNAL OF THE AQUANS. Domar:

THE HIGH TRIBUNE. I AM DOMAR,

OF THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE. I'M CAPTAIN KIRK

MY FIRST OFFICER, MR. SPOCK. THIS IS

YOU ARE AIR-BREATHER ENEMIES FROM THE SURFACE.

WE HAVE EXPECTED SPIES FOR A LONG TIME.

WE CAME HERE IN PEACE, TRIBUNE.

THE ANCIENT RECORDS WARN

NEVER COME IN PEACE. THAT AIR-BREATHERS

THEY CAME WITHOUT WEAPONS.

THE ANCIENT RECORDS? WITHOUT CONSULTING CAN WE DO NOTHING

WHY DO THE JUNIOR TRIBUNES WISH ALWAYS TO CHANGE THE RECORDS?

LET THE MESH BE REMOVED, BUT STAND READY.

THE SURGO-OP WAS EXCELLENT. Aquan:

THEY HAVE MUTATED PERFECTLY.

YOUR SCIENTISTS INDUCED THESE MUTATIONS?

WE DO NOT WISH TO KILL,

EVEN AIR-BREATHERS.

SO YOU COULD NOT RETURN HERE. YOUR MEMORY WAS ERADICATED

MMM.

THEIR ANCIENT RECORDS IT WOULD SEEM

ARE AS WELL PRESERVED AS OURS.

THEY FOUND US AGAIN

TO COME AMONG US AS SPIES.

YOU DO NOT GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES, CADMAR.

RILA IS CORRECT.

YOU MAY SPEAK.

WE ARE VISITORS TO YOUR PLANET.

WE COME FROM ANOTHER WORLD.

ON THE SURFACE PLACES? YOU DO NOT LIVE

NOT ON THIS WORLD.

CLEARLY, THIS IS A LIE. ENOUGH!

THE AIR-BREATHERS HAVE COME AGAIN TO DESTROY US.

YOU ARE MISTAKEN, SIR.

OUR ONLY PURPOSE HERE

OF REVERSING OUR MUTATIONS. IS TO FIND THE MEANS

THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

BY THE SURGO-RECORDS. ONLY AQUAN MUTATION IS DESIGNATED

ENTERPRISE TO MR. SCOTT. McCoy:

WHAT IS IT, DOCTOR? SCOTT HERE.

McCoy: SENSORS JUST GAVE US AN UPDATE READING, SCOTTY.

IN THAT AREA, A BAD ONE. THERE'S A SEAQUAKE DUE

COMPLETE TOPOGRAPHY CHANGES.

HOW SOON?

McCoy: WITHIN FOUR HOURS.

WHEN ARE JIM AND SPOCK DUE TO MAKE CONTACT?

Scotty: ABOUT THE SAME TIME.

CAN YOU CONTACT THEM SOONER? McCoy:

Scotty: WE CAN TRY LIKE BLUE BLAZES.

SCOTT OUT.

THEIR DIRECTIONAL MARKER INDICATES

TOWARD THAT FERN BED. THEY DESCENDED

AIR-BREATHERS.

WE MUST INFORM THE TRIBUNES.

THE NAME OF OUR STARSHIP IS ON THE AQUA-SHUTTLE.

EXAMINE THE WRECKAGE. IF YOU WANT PROOF,

LET US EXAMINE THE WRECKAGE BEFORE WE MAKE JUDGMENT. YES.

WE HAVE NEWS, HIGH TRIBUNE. SPEAK IT.

THREE AIR-BREATHERS HAVE INVADED THE SEA FOLIAGE.

AS WE GATHERED EDIBLES. WE SAW THEM

THESE CREATURES CAME IN PEACE? DO YOU STILL BELIEVE

WHAT TO BELIEVE. WE DO NOT KNOW

TO THE SURFACE BOULDERS AND LEAVE THEM THERE. TAKE THESE SPIES

IT IS JUSTICE ENOUGH FOR OUR ENEMIES.

[GROANING]

CONSERVE YOUR STRENGTH. I WILL FREE YOU.

[GRUNTS]

THE MESH IS TOO STRONG.

GO TO THE BIG ISLAND.

BRING ASSISTANCE PARTY.

DID YOU SEE ANYTHING?

NOT A SIGN OF THEM.

WAIT A MINUTE. WHO ARE...

YOUR FRIENDS NEED HELP. FOLLOW ME.

THERE. QUICK, LADS.

STAND BY IN THE SCOUTER-GIG, LIEUTENANT.

MY ENGINEERING OFFICER, RILA, THIS IS MR. SCOTT.

TRIBUNE RILA IS AN AQUAN.

A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY. THEIR CITY IS

WE'RE OBLIGED FOR YOUR HELP.

TO CONTACT YOU FOR TWO HOURS. CAPTAIN, WE'VE BEEN TRYING

THERE'S A SEA BOTTOM QUAKE DUE.

THIS WHOLE AREA. IT'LL DESTROY

OF SUCH A HAPPENING. THERE ARE LEGENDS

THE ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE IT DESTROYED

THE GREAT SURFACE PLACES TO SINK INTO THE SEA. AND CAUSED

FROM ITS ANCIENT ENEMIES. Spock: THAT SUGGESTS YOUR RACE EVOLVED

WE DID NOT EVOLVE, MR. SPOCK.

WHEN THE SURFACE PLACES BEGAN TO SINK,

MUTATED THROUGH SURGO-OP, MANY AIR-BREATHERS WERE

JUST AS YOU WERE.

AS THE CENTURIES PASSED, BECAME HEREDITARY. THE MUTATIONS

A HIGHLY DEVELOPED RACE STRANGE THAT SUCH WOULD BE VIOLENT.

APPARENTLY THEY WERE EXPOSED GEOLOGICAL DISASTER. TO A FRIGHTENING

SUCH HARDSHIP INDUCES SAVAGERY AND VIOLENCE.

THEY HUNTED AND KILLED US.

WE FEARED THEY WOULD WITH THEIR VIOLENCE. CONTAMINATE US

THAT IS ALSO WHY IT IS FORBIDDEN

TO SURFACE FORMS. TO MUTATE BACK

THEN REVERSE MUTATION IS POSSIBLE.

IN THE SUNKEN RUINS THERE ARE LEGENDS OF SEALED PLACES

WHERE MANY KNOWLEDGE-RECORDS OF IT ARE KEPT.

[RUMBLING]

THERE'S NOT MUCH TIME, CAPTAIN.

IN LESS THAN TWO HOURS. THE QUAKE'S DUE

HOW FAR ARE THE RUINS, RILA?

ONLY A SHORT DISTANCE.

THOSE OLD RECORDS MAY HOLD THE KEY

TO REVERSING OUR MUTATIONS.

WE'VE GOT TO FIND THEM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

OH, I--I CANNOT TAKE YOU TO THE RUINS.

IT IS AGAINST ORDAINMENTS.

IT'S IMPORTANT, RILA, NOT JUST FOR US.

OF ANOTHER PLANET THE POPULATION

BY SURFACE CHANGES, TOO. IS THREATENED

ARGO'S ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE CAN HELP SAVE THEM.

AS FAR AS THE REEF BARRIER. YES. I WILL TAKE YOU

THE RUINS LIE THAT WAY.

THE TIDES ARE STRONG. NOW, TAKE CARE.

Spock: FASCINATING.

OBVIOUSLY, AN ENTIRE PORTION OF THE CONTINENTAL SHELF SANK

WITHIN A FEW MINUTES.

THIS MAY BE THE SEALED PLACE RILA MENTIONED.

AN ENTRANCE PANEL, CAPTAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS

Kirk: THERE'S ANOTHER CHAMBER.

ANCIENT MEDICAL SYMBOLS, THIS RESEMBLES CAPTAIN.

THE TORSO INDICATES MUTATION.

THAT'S IT, SPOCK.

THE KEY TO THE SURVIVAL OF THE RACE.

[ROARING]

[ROARING]

IF THE UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR IS RIGHT,

IN YOUR BLOODSTREAM THE SUBSTANCE

IS SIMILAR TO THE AMBERGRIS OF EARTH WHALES.

REVERSE MUTATION IS INDUCED BY INFUSION OF AN ANTITOXIN,

CONCENTRATED DOSES OF IT.

OF THE ANTITOXIN, BONES? WHAT'S THE COMPOSITION

IT'S MADE FROM THE VENOM OF THE ARGO SUR-SNAKE.

Kirk: TO CAPTURE A SUR-SNAKE, WE NEED YOUR HELP.

DESCEND TO THAT DEPTH. OUR PEOPLE CAN'T

Nephro: DOMAR HAS WARNED THAT IF WE BREAK MORE ORDAINMENTS,

WE WILL BE EXILED TO THE OPEN SEAS.

WE CANNOT REVERSE OUR MUTATIONS WITHOUT THE SERUM,

NOR CAN THE AQUANS BENEFIT FROM THE KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR ANCESTORS.

BUT THE ORDAINMENTS STATE CLEARLY

THAT CAPTURING SUR-SNAKES IS FORBIDDEN.

ORDAINMENTS ARE USELESS IN TIMES OF TURBULENCE.

ONLY KNOWLEDGE WILL HELP US.

NEPHRO, WE MUST BREAK THE ORDAINMENTS.

QUICKLY, CAPTAIN.

[ROARING]

[RUMBLING]

QUICKLY. WE MUST LEAVE.

WE NEED MORE VENOM.

NO. NO, THERE IS NO TIME.

AN ANTITOXIN FROM THE VENOM McCoy: WE HAVE PREPARED OF THE SUR-SNAKE,

BUT A PART OF THE OLD RECORDS IS MISSING,

SO THE EXACT DOSAGE IS UNKNOWN.

EXPERIMENTS ON FISH SHOW THAT IF THE ANTITOXIN IS TOO STRONG,

IT CAUSES OVER-MUTATION,

WHICH CANNOT BE REVERSED BY ANY MEANS.

WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF VENOM,

SO CONCLUSIVE EXPERIMENTS ARE IMPOSSIBLE.

I DECREASED THE STRENGTH BY THREE QUARTERS, JIM,

BUT WE--WE CAN'T BE SURE IT'S RIGHT.

HOW MANY INFUSIONS, BONES?

McCoy: TWO SMALL, ONE LARGE.

Kirk: WELL, LET'S GET STARTED.

[BEEPING]

HIS PULSE IS FADING.

PULSE AND HEART NORMAL.

[GROANING]

SOMETHING'S HAPPENING TO HIS METABOLISM.

IT'S AT LEAST 10 TIMES NORMAL SPEED.

METABOLISM NORMAL. HEARTBEAT NORMAL.

BEGINNING TO REVERT. THE LUNGS ARE

THIS IS THE LAST DOSE, THE LARGEST INFUSION.

THE ANTITOXIN WAS TOO STRONG.

HE'S STARTING TO BREATHE.

GET HIM OUT OF THE TANK! QUICK,

HOW DO YOU FEEL, JIM?

A LITTLE DIZZY.

OTHERWISE NORMAL.

WELL, BETTER GET INTO SOME DRY CLOTHES. I...

I WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO CATCH COLD.

YOUR TURN, SPOCK.

THE UNPOPULATED PRESSURE AREAS Kirk: WE'LL BOMBARD WITH PHASER BEAMS

AND CHANGE THE EPICENTER OF THE QUAKE

YOUR PEOPLE OR YOUR CITY. SO IT WON'T ENDANGER

SUCH KNOWLEDGE WAS POSSIBLE. I DID NOT BELIEVE

IN THREE MINUTES, CAPTAIN. MAJOR TREMORS WILL START

Domar: IT IS INCREDIBLE.

ALL OF IT.

CONFIRM COORDINATES, MR. SPOCK.

CONFIRMED, SIR.

FIRE PHASERS AS DIRECTED, GENTLEMEN.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

THE EPICENTER OF THE QUAKE SENSORS INDICATE

WAS IN THE NORTH POLAR SEAS, CAPTAIN,

A TOTALLY UNINHABITED AREA.

THEN OUR PEOPLE ARE SAFE.

WHEN CAN WE BEAM DOWN, SPOCK?

THE SEABED SHOULD STABILIZE WITHIN A FEW HOURS.

ARGO APPEARS TO HAVE A NEW CITY, CAPTAIN,

OR RATHER, ONE REBORN.

Rila: OUR PEOPLE SURVIVED WITH LITTLE DAMAGE, THE SEAQUAKES

THANKS TO YOUR HELP.

Domar: WE OWE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS

MUCH GRATITUDE, CAPTAIN KIRK.

WE WILL TRY TO REPAY

BY MAKING THE ANCIENT RECORDS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR STUDIES.

HAS SHOWN US THE MEANS OF DIVERTING QUAKES. OUR EXPERIENCE HERE

THAT WILL MEAN MUCH FEDERATION PLANET. TO THE ENDANGERED

AND THE AIR IS SOFT. THE LIGHT IS WARM

WHEN THE SURFACE PLACES CAN BE INHABITED. I SHALL BE GLAD

Domar: THE YOUNG AQUANS HAVE DECIDED TO REBUILD

OF THE AIR-BREATHERS. THE GREAT SHELTERS

ONLY THE YOUNG AQUANS?

SENIOR AQUANS CANNOT ADJUST

OF BECOMING AIR-BREATHERS. TO THE THOUGHT

AT THE AQUA-CITY. WE WILL REMAIN

LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS. DON'T LOSE CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER

WE WILL PASS ORDAINMENTS TO FORBID IT.

WILL NOT IGNORE THEM. AND WE, THIS TIME,
