[Bird-of-Prey bridge] Ready to engage computer, Admiral.
What is our target in time?
Late twentieth century.
Surely you can be more specific.
Not with this equipment.
I have had to program some of the variables from memory.
What are some of the variables?
Availability of fuel components, the mass of the vessel through a time continuum, and
the probable location of humpback whales, in this case, the Pacific basin.
You've programmed that from memory?
I have.
Angels and ministers of grace, defend us.
Hamlet, Act one scene four.
No doubts about your memory.
Engage computer.
Prepare for warp speed.
...Shields, Mister Chekov.
Shields, aye.
May fortune favour the foolish?
...Warp speed, Mister Sulu!
Warp two, ...warp three.
Steady as she goes.
Warp four, ... warp five, ...warp six, ...warp seven, warp eight.
Heat shields at maximum.
Warp nine!
...Nine point two, ...nine point three.
We need breakaway speed!
Nine point five, nine point six, nine point seven, nine point eight.
Now, Mister Sulu!
(after the slingshot around the sun, ethereal voices)
I should never have left him.
Jim, where are we?
You're talking about the end of everybody on Earth.
(the crew awake from the time-travel) Mister Sulu?
...Mister Sulu!
...Mister Sulu.
Aye sir?
What is our condition?
Sir, ...the braking thrusters have fired.
Picture, please.
...Earth.
...But when?
...Spock?
Judging by the pollution content of the atmosphere, I believe we have arrived at the latter half
of the twentieth century.
Well done, Spock.
Admiral, if I may, we're probably already visible to the tracking devices of the time.
Quite right, Mister Spock.
Engage cloaking device, Mister Chekov.
