:29:02
L'd still like a Vulcan there,
if possible.
:29:05
None available, Captain.
:29:06
In fact, there's no one
who's fully rated on this design.
:29:10
You are, Mr. Decker.
:29:12
I'm afraid you're going to have
to double as science officer.
:29:47
That's all we know about it...
:29:51
except that it is now
53.4 hours away from Earth.
:29:58
Enterprise is the only Federation
starship that stands in its way.
:30:02
Our orders are to intercept...
:30:06
investigate and take
whatever action is necessary...
:30:10
and possible.
:30:16
Bridge to Captain.
Priority signal from Epsilon 9.
:30:20
- Put it on viewer.
- On viewer, sir.
:30:22
Enterprise, the cloud is definitely
a power field of some kind.
:30:27
Measures... My God...
over two AU's in diameter.
:30:32
Must be something incredible
inside there generating it.
:30:36
We're transmitting lingua code
friendship messages...
:30:38
on all frequencies.
:30:40
No response.
:30:41
Have a null reading
at the center of the cloud.
:30:43
Definitely something inside there,
but scans are being reflected back.
:30:47
- Some kind of power surge.
- Receiving an odd pattern now.
:30:50
Enterprise, they could be mistaking
our scans as a hostile act.
:30:54
They seem to be reactingto our scans, sir.
:30:56
Deflectors, emergency full!
