( beeping )
What--?
It's all right.
( beeping silenced )
It's all right.
(whispering ): A signal, commander.
We have him.
Move toward him.
(
Power on.
Reverse course. He'll try to slip under us.
Lateral power, sir.
Coming around, sir.
Phasers, fire.
( phasers firing )
( explosions )
How, commander? How?
He's a sorcerer, that one.
He reads the thoughts in my brain.
( explosion )
Our fuel supply all but gone, and he stays out of reach.
We are beaten.
Can it be true?
The Praetor's finest and proudest flagship, beaten.
Perhaps we can yet save your Praetor's pride for him.
More debris into the tubes.
Decius, do we have some of the old-style
nuclear warheads aboard?
Yes, commander, but only for self-destruction.
Place one in with the debris. Proximity fuse.
Yes, commander. At once.
( explosion )
More wreckage, sir. Scattering across our path.
Cease fire.
Debris on our scanners.
Analysis, quickly.
Same type as before, sir.
Except one metal-cased object.
Helm, hard over.
Phasers, fire. Point-blank!
STILES: Phasers, fire!
( phasers fire )
( explosion )
( beeping )
Glorious. Glorious.
Now we go home.
They are at our mercy.
Commander...
I remind you of your duty.
Captain to Sickbay.
McCOY:
Casualties?
Twenty-two so far.
Mainly radiation burns,
mostly from the ship's outer areas.
Could've been much, much worse, captain.
Thank you, doctor.
Report, Mr. Spock.
Nuclear device of some kind, sir.
Our phasers detonated it less than 100 meters away.
Ship damage?
Mainly overloads
and circuit burnouts.
Weapons status.
SCOTTY:
Fully operable, Scotty?
Yes, sir.
But Specialist Tomlinson is manning it alone.
No standby crew available.
Sir, my first assignment was in Weapons Control.
Go.
Lieutenant Uhura, take over navigation.
Yes, captain.
We have engine power now, captain,
if you'd like to move off and make repairs.
No, no.
