:42:00
into a pre-selected area of a lifeless
space body, such as a moon.
:42:05
The device is delivered,
instantaneously causing
:42:08
what we call the Genesis Effect.
:42:11
Matter is reorganised
with life-generating results.
:42:30
Instead of a dead moon,
a living, breathing planet
:42:33
capable of sustaining whatever
lifeforms we deposit on it.
:42:37
Fascinating.
:42:39
The moon simulated here represents
a fraction of Genesis' potential,
:42:44
should the Federation wish to fund
the experiment to its conclusion.
:42:49
When we consider the cosmic problems
of population and food supply,
:42:53
the usefulness of this process
becomes clear.
:42:56
This concludes our proposal.
Thank you for your attention.
:43:00
It literally is Genesis.
:43:04
The power of creation.
:43:08
- Have they proceeded?
- The tape was made a year ago.
:43:11
I can only assume
they've reached Stage Two by now.
:43:15
But, dear Lord, do you think
we're intelligent enough to...
:43:19
Suppose... What if this thing
were used where life already exists?
:43:24
It would destroy such life...
in favour of its new matrix.
:43:28
Its new matrix? Do you have any idea
what you're saying?
:43:34
I was not attempting
to evaluate its moral implications.
:43:38
In cosmic history it has always been
easier to destroy than to create.
:43:43
Not any more! Now we can do
both at the same time.
:43:46
According to myth,
Earth was created in six days.
:43:49
Now watch out! Here comes Genesis!
We'll do it for you in six minutes!
:43:53
Really, Dr McCoy, you must learn
to govern your passions.
:43:57
They will be your undoing.
Logic suggests...
