Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.

Its five-year 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 5371.3.

A huge cosmic cloud has been reported

moving into the outer fringe
of our galaxy.

Nothing like it
has ever been seen before.

Starfleet Command
has sent the Enterprise to investigate

as we're the only vessel
in the vicinity of the phenomenon.

Our present position
is in the Pallas 14 system

which contains Mantilles,

the most remote inhabited planet
in the entire Federation.

We will intercept the cloud
in the vicinity of Alondra,

the outermost planet, sir.

Captain, we are now approaching
sensor range of the cloud.

- Readings?
- It seems to be of irregular shape,

some 800,000 kilometers across

and about half that in depth.

It's immense.

Twice the diameters of Saturn,
Jupiter and Neptune together!

Put up our present position,
Lieutenant Arex.

- Yes, Captain.
- Reading, Spock?

This is very curious, Captain.

It computes as a strange combination
of matter and energy.

Captain, look.

Captain, Alondra has disappeared
from navigation scan.

The cloud could have come
between us and the planet.

No, Lieutenant,
the cloud has engulfed Alondra.

Captain, the planet
seems to be breaking up.

Its mass is definitely growing smaller.

Spock, is it possible
the cloud consumes planets?

It seems a logical assumption, Captain.

- Sir, the cloud is changing course.
- That's impossible.

The course change is verified, sir.

The cloud is now moving
directly toward the inhabited planet.

- But if it continues on that course...
- Mantilles will die.

Mr. Sulu, increase speed to warp 8.

- Push it to the limit.
- Yes, sir.

Captain's Log, supplemental.

At warp 8, we will intercept the cloud

before it reaches
the inhabited planet Mantilles.

But we are uncertain what we can do
to stop a matter-energy cloud

which measures thousands of times
more than our vessel.

Jim, if we can't stop it,
millions of people will die.

Perhaps more, Doctor.

If planet annihilation
is part of this thing's nature,

it might seek them out as instinctively
as an ameba seeks out food.

It may not consume only planets,
but also stars.

We do not know yet
whether it has any selective ability,

but it could be a threat
to every planet in our galaxy.

Bones, I need
an expert psychological opinion.

Do we dare tell the people on Mantilles,
try to save a few who could get away?

- How much time do they have?
- Four hours, ten minutes, sir.

It's certain there'd be planetwide panic.

- Blind panic.
- On the other hand, notifying them

may still save some small fraction
of the population, Captain.

Who's the governor of Mantilles, Jim?

Bob Wesley.
He left Starfleet for the governorship.

- He's no hysteric.
- Then tell him.

Coming up on the cloud, sir.
ETA five minutes, ten seconds.

Thanks, Bones.

Lieutenant Uhura,
send a priority one call

- to Governor Wesley on Mantilles.
- Aye, aye, sir.

Captain, I'm getting unusual readings
on the chemical identity sensors.

What kind?

Elements unknown
in our periodic tables, Captain.

I'm of the opinion this cloud has come
from outside our galaxy.

Captain.

- Evasive action.
- Aye, sir.

- Reverse full power.
- Full reverse, sir.

It's still got us.

The streamers are
a combination of koinoenergy,

almost an ambiplasma,

with an unusually powerful
attraction force.

Prepare to fire all phasers
into cloud mass.

Locked on. Phasers ready, sir.

- Fire.
- Firing.

No effect, Captain.

The cloud appeared
to absorb the phaser energy, Captain.

We're floating inside the cloud.

All decks report considerable
shaking up, but no damage, sir.

Captain, objects approaching
on the bow.

Deflector shields on.

- Shields up and operating, sir.
- More objects approaching aft, sir.

Analysis, Spock?

The objects are some form
of highly charged gaseous antimatter.

- Engineering to Captain Kirk.
- Kirk here.

Captain, the power drain on the shields
is too heavy to hold

- for any length of time.
- I know, Scotty.

Scotty, prepare the shields
for an antimatter charge.

Aye, sir. Engineering out.

- Antimatter charge ready, sir.
- Fire.

- Double the charge.
- Ready, sir.

Fire.

Well, Spock, any conclusions?

Only the beginning of a theory, Captain.

It is possible this cloud
in which we are entrapped

is a living thing.

The cloud is alive.

Yes, Captain,

its components appear similar
to those found in living organisms.

- Bones, any opinion?
- There's some resemblance.

I don't know how much
we can depend on it.

But I'll tell you one thing.
We have to get out of this area.

Those mists out there

are acting something like
a macromorphase enzyme.

If the shields don't stay up,
the hull will be corroded

and we'll all be broken down
into nice digestible particles.

I am inclined to agree
with the Doctor, Captain.

The mass of the planet Alondra
has been steadily growing smaller

since we've been in here.

Captain, I have a subspace
radio message coming in

from Governor Wesley of Mantilles.

- Transfer it to my quarters.
- Yes, sir.

Mr. Sulu, use your scanners
to assemble a diagram

of the cloud's composition,
and feed it to the library computer.

Three and a half hours, Jim.
That's not enough.

Even if I had the ships available
to totally evacuate the planet.

You have time
to save some people, Bob.

That won't be long enough either,
but it'll have to do.

How are you going to choose?

There is no choice, Jim.
We'll save the children.

In three hours and 20 minutes
the cloud will reach Mantilles.

Millions of people will die.
I need your help, gentlemen.

Your analyses?

If we assume the cloud is a living being,

we must also assume it needs
some kind of food to sustain itself.

Agreed.

Judging from the disappearance
of Alondra,

the cloud lives on the energy it converts
from the planets it consumes.

Exactly. It is like a huge bull

grazing here and there
in the pasture of the universe.

What about those blobs, Bones?

I think they perform
the same function as teeth.

They break up the
larger chunks of matter for digestion.

Lieutenant, let's see what the scanners
have come up with

on the cloud's composition.

It seems to have some sort of anatomy.

- Arex, where are we on that chart?
- Posting Enterprise position, sir.

The opening where we were drawn in
seems to have closed.

But there's another opening
up there on top.

If this thing does have
some kind of digestive system,

we don't stand much of a chance
of making it that far.

Three hours, five minutes
until the cloud reaches Mantilles, sir.

Thank you, Mr. Arex.

Since we appear to have
only one way out, we're going to take it.

Mr. Sulu,
take us to that central core area.

- Aye, aye, sir.
- And if this thing does have a stomach,

we just might be able
to give it enough indigestion

to make it turn away from Mantilles.

We've reached the entrance
to the central core, Captain.

What do we do now? Knock?

No need, Bones. Here we go.

What are those things?

I think we're in what corresponds
to the small intestine.

Those things growing out of the wall
would be similar to villi.

- Villi?
- The human small intestine

is lined with millions of them,
to absorb nutrients into the body.

Captain, those villi are antimatter.

- Lf the Enterprise touches one of them...
- We'll explode.

Mr. Sulu,
keep the deflectors up at all costs.

- Yes, sir.
- Incredible.

They're destroyed on contact
with the matter this thing takes in

and then they regenerate immediately.

- Scott to Bridge!
- Yes, Scotty?

Keeping the deflectors this high

is putting an enormous strain
on the engines, Captain.

Especially the antimatter.

What with the
maximum power demands and all,

the reserve is falling fast.

- How much time do we have?
- Twenty-one minutes, sir.

But if the indicator goes
below two anti-kilos,

the engines won't regenerate.

Thank you, Mr. Scott.

Mr. Arex, try to make your way through
to the opening on the other side.

Yes, sir.

I can't hold it on course, sir.
We're using all power.

Increase deflector screens to maximum.

Screens to maximum, sir.

Captain's Log, supplemental.

The Enterprise has only 15 minutes left
before her power is drained

and we are left helpless.

If we don't stop the power drain
right now, that'll be the end of us.

And if we do stop,
we'll be drawn into one of the villi

and the ship will explode.

Captain, you said that
villi are antimatter.

If we could get a piece of it,

I could put it in the antimatter engine
and it would regenerate.

We'd have enough power
for the engines and the shields

to go on maximum again.

We need both the matter and
the antimatter engines regenerated.

Matter's no problem.
We could beam aboard

some of the planet chunks out there.

And we can cut a piece
of the antimatter villi

with the tractor beam
and transport it aboard like that.

Bring it aboard?

If the antimatter touches
the inside of the ship or any of us,

we'll be blown to bits.

I can rig a force field box

that'll hold the piece of villi
suspended in the center.

Then I can take it
into the antimatter nacelle,

put it into the regenerating chamber

and release the force field
by remote control.

Scotty, we've got 10 minutes left.

The force field is holding. Let's go.

Well, that gives us two minutes.

All right, Gabler, open it.

Close it.

Scotty, you've just given
the Enterprise and Mantilles

a chance to live.

Thank you, sir.

Situation, Mr. Spock?

The cloud is now only 42 minutes,
14 seconds from Mantilles, Captain.

And we have ascertained
an important fact.

- This being does have a brain.
- Intelligent?

Lmpossible to say
at this moment, Captain.

It has made only one action

which might be interpreted
as intelligent.

It changed course
from Alondra toward Mantilles.

But that could have been
an involuntary response

to the sensing of food.

Where is the brain located?

That irregularly-shaped object
at the top of the core

emanates considerable
electrical activity.

It's pretty certain to be the brain, Jim.

The functioning of the brain
is basically electric.

If we can reach it
before the cloud gets to Mantilles,

we might be able to save the planet.

We'll use the photon torpedoes
to destroy the brain.

Captain, this is a living creature.

Starfleet regulations...

I know the regulations against the killing
of intelligent life forms, Mr. Spock.

But we don't know
this life form is intelligent.

And we do know
the people on Mantilles are doomed

if we don't stop it.

If I have to be a judge,
I decide in favor of saving Mantilles.

Captain's Log, Stardate 5372.0.

Spock and Uhura are using our sensors
to prepare a detailed chart

so we may determine targets
for our photon torpedoes.

Am I doing the right thing, Bones?

Once, I said,
"Man rose above primitiveness

"by vowing, 'I will not kill today."'

But you can't let this thing
destroy over 80 million lives, either.

Captain, I have completed the analysis
of the target area.

Unfortunately, the brain is so vast,

our entire offensive armament
will not assure its destruction.

However, the brain could be
completely destroyed

if we convert the entire ship to energy,

aimed at the brain's cortex,

and expend the energy
in one mortal strike.

That sounds like you're telling us
to blow up the ship.

I believe that is what I just said, Doctor.

Your figures are specific
and absolutely correct, of course?

- You're sure it will do the job?
- Yes, Captain. Quite sure.

- Kirk to Engineering.
- Engineering. Scott here.

Mr. Scott,

prepare the self-destruct mechanism
in the Engineering core.

Computer control will be on the Bridge
when it's time to trigger it.

- Aye, sir.
- Incoming message, sir.

It's Governor Wesley of Mantilles.

- Put it on the viewscreen, Lieutenant.
- Yes, sir.

Go ahead, Governor.

- Jim.
- Bob.

Is the evacuation proceeding?

As best it can.

There was some hysteria
at the beginning,

but most agreed
to let the children be taken off first.

But it's only 5,000 children

- out of 82 million people.
- I know.

We can see
the cloud approaching, Jim.

Thirty-one minutes
and four seconds to Mantilles, sir.

- Bob, where's Katie?
- Here, with me.

Don't worry, Bob. She'll be all right.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, Jim.

- Who's Katie?
- His daughter. She's 11.

Spock, is there any way
we could establish

whether or not it is definitely intelligent?

Perhaps a Vulcan mind touch.

It would require physical contact,
which is impossible, Captain.

But I may be able to reach out
with my mind.

If we focus our sensors

onto the cloud's
synaptic electrical impulses,

the input could be routed to the ship's
computer for analysis into thought.

I can link in the universal translator and
put it on the audio system from here.

- Can you do it in time?
- It is impossible to calculate, Captain.

There are too many unknown factors.

I can only try to accomplish the link.
No more.

Twenty-six minutes exactly
to Mantilles, sir.

All right, Spock. Get at it.

Captain's Log, Stardate 5372. 1.

The cloud will reach Mantilles
in seven minutes.

Spock has been working
on the mechanics

of reaching the cloud's thoughts,

but I doubt if there's any time left.

And even if we do establish contact,

can we communicate with it
and persuade it not to kill?

The procedure is ready, sir.

- Thank you, Scotty.
- Ready, Captain.

Listen to me. Listen to me.

You are not alone here,
there is someone else.

- Listen to me.
- What?

You are not alone here,

there is someone else.

Listen to me. Listen to me.

- What you?
- I am another being.

- Being? Where?
- I am inside you.

Inside? Explain.

- Within me?
- I am very small.

And there are many of me.
We are in a spaceship within you.

Explain.

A small thing which holds us all.

- Within me?
- Within you.

- Explain.
- We came to think to you.

You consumed us.
You thought we were food.

Why? Why, you think to me?

Why? Why, you think to me?

Many of us live
on the things you consume.

- Things I consume?
- Yes.

Many of us are on the thing
near you now.

Do not consume it.

Explain.

The spherical thing ahead of you,

the matter you intend to consume,

sense it closely.

How near is Mantilles, Mr. Arex?

The cloud will envelop it
in three minutes, 20 seconds, sir.

Perceive many somethings.

- So small.
- They are beings.

Alive, like you.

They will all die
if you consume that thing.

- Too small.
- Explain.

I am small.
Some things I perceive too small.

Not alive beings.

Listen to me.
I'm going to come into your thoughts.

And at the same time,
you will come into mine.

- Necessary?
- Yes. Very.

Proceed.

Bones, he's the cloud.

Its thoughts are here.

Don't move.

Lieutenant, use the library computer.

Put some views of the Earth
onto that screen.

Yes, sir.

This is the thing we come from.

Lieutenant, this is what I want.

Awaiting your order, Captain.

A few seconds, Scotty.
We have to give Spock that much.

Jim, if we don't self-destruct now
all those people will die.

The cloud has stopped, sir.

Comprehend.

Not desire to consume other beings.

Quiet.

There are many things in our galaxy

like the one you just perceived.

- Truth?
- Truth.

You do not desire
to consume other beings.

It would be best
if you return to your origin.

The way you came.

- Will you do this?
- A long journey...

Will you return?

Will return to origin place.

Lieutenant Uhura,
contact Governor Wesley.

- Tell him to bring his ships back.
- Yes, Captain.

- Spock, you did it! The cloud is leaving.
- I believe so, Captain.

There is a "grid"
at the top of the brain core.

It uses it to sense.
We can escape the cloud through it.

Mr. Sulu, let's get out of here,
through that grid.

Yes, sir!

Spock, what did you perceive?

The wonders of the universe, Captain.

Incredible, completely incredible.
