Sector 3, sub-tropical vegetation.
:20:08
Temperature decreasing rapidly.
:20:13
It's snow.
Snow in the same sector. Fantastic!
:20:18
Fascinating.
:20:19
All the varieties of land and weather
known to Earth, within hours' walk.
:20:24
- Metallic mass.
- Close range scan.
:20:30
A photon tube.
:20:32
Gravitational fields were in flux.
It must have soft landed.
:20:36
In code to Starfleet:
:20:38
"Captain Spock's tube located
on Genesis surface."
:20:48
I don't believe it.
:20:51
What is it?
:20:53
If equipment is functioning properly,
indications are an animal lifeform.
:21:00
- You said there wouldn't be any.
- There shouldn't be.
:21:03
Cross referenced and verified.
An unidentifiable life form reading.
:21:07
You wish to advise Starfleet, sir?.
:21:10
We don't know
what we're talking about here.
:21:13
- Why don't we beam it up?
- Oh, no.
:21:15
Regulations state,
"Nothing shall be beamed aboard"
:21:18
"until danger of contamination
is eliminated."
:21:21
Captain, beaming down
to the surface is permitted.
:21:26
If the Captain decides that the
mission is vital and reasonably safe.
:21:30
- Please, we must see what it is.
- Or who.
:21:40
Absent friends.
:21:43
Admiral, what's going to happen
to the Enterprise?
:21:47
- She's to be decommissioned.
- Will we get another ship?
:21:50
I can't get an answer. Starfleet's up
to its brass in galactic conference.
:21:56
No one has time for those
who stand and wait.
:21:59
Sir, about Dr McCoy, how is he?
