KIRK:
During an ion storm, my landing party
has beamed back to the
and found it and the personnel aboard changed.
The ship is subtly altered, physically.
Behavior and discipline has become brutal, savage.
Mr. Scott, the storm has caused some minor damage
in your section.
There are also injuries
requiring your attention, doctor.
Well, gentlemen?
Mr. Spock.
Yes?
The power beam jumped for a moment, sir,
just as the landing party was about to materialize.
I never saw it happen before.
Due to your error, Mr. Kyle?
No, Mr. Spock. Before.
Possibly a result of the severe storm. Captain.
Do you feel any abnormal effects?
(
Yes.
Dr. McCoy, you'd better look us over.
That was a rough beam-up.
Yes, sir.
(
Mr. Spock...
have those transporter circuits checked.
Captain, what is all this?
How did we get in this--?
Not now. Not now.
What is this?
Everything's all messed up,
changed around, out of place.
Captain, what's happened?
Oh, not everything.
That spot.
I spilled acid there a year ago.
Jim, what in blazes--?
I don't know.
It's our
but it isn't.
Maybe...
Maybe what, captain?
Any of you feel dizzy
when we were in the transporter beam?
Yes.
When we first materialized?
I did.
It happened twice.
First, we were in our own transporter chamber,
and then we faded.
And then, when we finally materialized,
we were here, wherever this is.
Captain, the transporter chief
mentioned a surge of power.
The transporter lock might have
been affected by the ion storm,
and we just materialized somewhere else.
Yes, here.
Not our universe Not our ship.
Something...
parallel.
Parallel universe,
coexisting with ours
on another dimensional plane.
Everything's duplicated.
Almost.
Another
Another Captain Kirk,
another Dr. McCoy, another--
An exchange.
If we're here--
Then our counterparts must have been transporting up
at the exact same time.
Similar storms on both universes disrupted the circuits.
We're here, and they're...
on our
Probably asking the same questions:
"Are we in another universe?
And if so, how do we get back to our own?"
They'll use the computer.
And we have to.
What about the Halkans?
We can't let them be destroyed.
Scotty, can you buy me some time?
Get below and short out the main phaser couplings.
They'll think the storm blew the circuits.
Aye, sir.
Then, get on this technology.
It's all we have to work with if we want to get back home.
The intercom may be monitored.
Use your communicators for private messages.
Sub-frequency and scrambled.
Aye, sir.
Lieutenant.
Yes, sir.
Get up to your post.
Run today's communication
from Starfleet Command.
I want to know my exact orders, and options, if any.
Yes, sir.
Bones.
Captain, I-- I'm--
(
Uhura, you're the only one who can do it.
I'll be right there.
Yes, sir.
Bones.
Let's take a look at the library.
We have a lot to learn.
