"Uh, excuse me?" "Why don't they want it anymore?" "Uh, well, this was once a piece of an ancient weapon, and now they offer it as a symbol of..." "Of peace." "In the Fibonan culture, to surrender a weapon is an offer of truce." "How did they come by it?" "They told me they acquired it a long time ago." "So they stole it, then." "No, they, um..." "Well, I don't know." "You don't know the Fibonans like we do!" "(STAMMERS) Yeah, that's very true." "Your Excellency, this gift..." "They're a crowd of untrustworthy thieves who want to see us murdered in our own beds!" "This beloved artifact is a symbol of trust and peace."

"But, well, we do what we can to make it feel like home." "The crew, as always, continues to act admirably despite the rigors of our extended stay here in outer space." "And the personal sacrifices they have made." "We continue to search for new life forms in order to establish firm diplomatic ties." "Our extended time in uncharted territory has stretched the ship's mechanical capacities." "But fortunately our engineering department, led by Mr. Scott, is more than up to the job." "The ship aside, prolonged cohabitation has definitely had effects on interpersonal dynamics." "Some experiences for the better, and some for the worse." "As for me, things have started to feel a little episodic." "The farther out we go, the more I find myself wondering what it is we're trying to accomplish." "If the universe is truly endless, then are we not striving for something forever out of reach?" "The Enterprise is scheduled for a reprovisioning stop at Yorktown, the Federation's newest and most advanced starbase."

" Wow." " Right?" "I mean, I always assumed he'd be" " a vodka man." " A vodka guy, exactly." "I wanted to have something appropriate for your birthday." "Uh, that's in a couple days." "You know I don't care about that." "I know." "I know you don't like celebrating it on the day because it's also the day your pa bit the dust." "I was being sensitive." "Did they teach you about bedside manner in medical school?" "It's just your southern charm." "(BOTH GULPING)" " Oh, yeah." "That's good." " Ooh." " Lordy!" " (LAUGHS)" "Are you gonna call your mom?" "Yeah, of course." "I'll call her on the day." "(CHUCKLES LIGHTLY)" "I'm one year older." "Yep, that's usually how it works." "A year older than he ever got to be." "He joined Starfleet because he..." "He believed in it." "I joined on a dare." "You joined to see if you could live up to him."

" You know, in case you got spliced." " Oh." "I couldn't imagine a worse scenario." "Good to have you back." "You all right?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "He's hurt." "I am functioning adequately, Captain." "In a pig's eye, you are!" "Captain, we discovered that the stolen artifact appears to have come from this planet. (GROANS)" "MCCOY:" "Damn it, Spock." "Are there any medical supplies on this thing?" "This way." "All right." "Lie down." "Come on." " (GROANING)" " There you go." "How are we gonna get out of this one, Spock?" "We've got no ship, no crew." "Not the best odds." "We will do what we have always done, Jim." "We will find hope in the impossible." "Let's get you patched up first, okay?" "No, Captain." "You must focus your efforts on helping the crew." "Well, that's why I need you around, Spock." "These things are from the dark ages." "(SPOCK EXHALES SHARPLY)" " Bones." " (GROANING)" " (COUGHS)" " I'm pretty sure this is a protoplaser."

"What seemed so clear to me two years ago now seems, well, far away." "You will tell me where it is!" "Now!" "(CREWMEN EXCLAIMING)" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Let him go and I will give you what you want!" "No!" "Syl, don't!" "(SULU GRUNTS)" "Lieutenant, unity is not your strength." "It is your weakness." "We should wait until we're absolutely sure." "No, we have to get the crew back now." "Chekov has the coordinates that can lead us to Krall's base, so we go!" "With respect, sir, how do we know that Krall was at the base when she called him?" "Even if he was, we don't know that the crew is even with him." "Or if they're even still alive." "Mr. Chekov, can you reconfigure the search parameters in order to compensate for this formula?" "(CLEARS THROAT) Aye, Commander, but what is this formula?" "It is Vokaya, Mr. Chekov." "A mineral unique to Vulcan which emits low-level radiation." "I will have to filter out all other energy emissions." "Spock, what the hell would a Vulcan mineral be doing way out here?" "Where are you going with this?" "Lieutenant Uhura wears a Vokaya amulet which I presented to her as a token of my affection and respect." "You gave your girlfriend radioactive jewelry?" "SPOCK:" "The emission is harmless, Doctor." "But its unique signature makes it very easy to identify." "You gave your girlfriend a tracking device." "That was not my intention." "I'm glad he doesn't respect me." "(COMPUTER BEEPING)" "Huh." "I am detecting a very trace amount of Vokaya." "Does the location match the coordinates you acquired from Kalara, Mr. Chekov?" "It is a match, sir." "Its presence suggests that Lieutenant Uhura and thereby the rest of the crew are being held at Krall's base of operation." "Can you beam them out?" "No, sir." "There is some geological interference that is blocking the transporter signal." "Well, I guess we're gonna have to go in and break them out the old-fashioned way." "You cannot go to this place." "Everyone who goes there, he kills." "You've..." "You've been there?" "You've seen it?" "Well, why didn't you say something, lassie?" "Because I know you will ask me to take you there." "If your friends are there, then they will die, just like my family." "And I will not go back to that death place!" "Aye, but if you've escaped, then you can show us the way in and the way out." "No!" "This is not the deal we made, Montgomery Scotty." "If you choose to do this, you are on your own." "Wait." "Let her go." "She's lost people, too, Captain." "Look, that's our friends out there, lassie." "Right?" "We cannae just leave them behind." "Now, we could really use your help." "(STAMMERS)" "We just need you to be brave, is all." "When we were in that place, Krall would come and take someone." "There were screams." "I can still hear them." "And we would not see that person again." "We did not know who would be next." "My father planned an escape." "But we were seen by the one they call Manas." "My father fought him so I could get out." "He was brave and Manas killed him." "What you want is impossible." "Look, maybe it's not." "Right." "My wee granny used to say, "Ya cannae break a stick in a bundle."" "You're part of something bigger now, lassie." "Right?" "Dinnae give up on that." "'Cause we'll sure as hell never give up on you." "That is what being part of a crew is all about." "Is that what you believe in, James T.?" "All I know is we stand a better chance with you." "The digging machines uncovered a tunnel that goes into the crater." "That's how I got out." "So that'll be our way in." "An away team will beam to the other side of the tunnel, follow it to Krall's base, get inside the building and break out the crew." "Uh, Captain, we cannot lock onto anyone inside the crater in order to beam them out." "Oh, I could rig up pulse beacons as pattern enhancers." "That'd get the signal out of the crater." " All right." " How many people can the Franklin transport at a time?" "Uh, with a wee bit of modification, 20 max, but I'm not sure how long it would hold out." "Bones, Mr. Chekov, Jaylah, you're with me on the away team." "Mr. Scott, modify that transporter and then do everything you can to get this ship operational." "Captain, Mr. Chekov's technical acumen makes him more valuable aboard the Franklin with Mr. Scott." "It is thereby logical that I would replace him." "Why is that logical, Spock?" "You just got back on your feet." "Lieutenant Uhura is in that facility, Jim." "I'll keep an eye on him." "Understood." "But his soldiers are everywhere." "We won't pass unseen." "What we require is a diversion." "I think I have an idea." "This is Abronath." "It was used by the Ancient Ones as a weapon."

"You cannot defeat the bees." "Maybe, uh, maybe we lure them away." "How do we get Yorktown time to get people to safety?" "No, we are a horse and buggy compared to those things."

"What about electromagnetic focusing?" "We could use the transporters, disrupt their network." "SPOCK:" "The focus might be too specific." "If we could plant some sort of disruptive communication signal inside the swarm, it might adversely affect their capacity to coordinate." "It would have to be at a frequency they will not anticipate." "We could cause a chain reaction that would wipe out the whole swarm." "Sir, a closed network like that might be susceptible to very high frequency." "VHF." "Radio." "We can broadcast something from the ship to drown out their link." "Something loud and distracting." "Loud and distracting?" "I've got just the thing!" "Do not break my music." "Break it?" "You're getting an upgrade." "Swarm ships are 60 seconds from breaking through!"

" We are fine, Captain, but there are still three ships heading into Yorktown." "That's got to be Krall." "Keep on him, Spock." "Do whatever it takes to stop him from using that weapon."

"We need confirmation that the weapon has been neutralized and Krall is dead!" "MAN:" "Captain!" "It's Krall." "We've seen him do this." "It's some kind of energy transference."

"The Federation do not care about us." "You'll probably never see me again." "But if you do, be ready." "Why has he not used his weapon yet?" "'Cause he wants to find somewhere to inflict maximum damage." "He needs a distribution system." "They have to circulate air here, right?" "Aye, sir." "There's an atmospheric regulator at the core." "Lieutenant, contact Yorktown." "Make sure they shut it down" " until we find Krall." " UHURA:" "Yes." "How would he access the core?"
