:16:00
I'm sorry, Mr Scott,
but there will be no refit.
:16:04
Admiral... I don't understand.
The Enterprise is not...
:16:08
Jim, the Enterprise is 20 years old.
We feel her day is over.
:16:14
But we had requested...
:16:18
We had hoped to take her
backto Genesis.
:16:21
- That is out of the question.
- May I ask why?.
:16:24
In your absence, Genesis has become
a galactic controversy.
:16:30
Until the Federation Council
makes policy,
:16:34
you are all under orders
not to discuss with anyone
:16:37
your knowledge of Genesis.
:16:40
Consider it a quarantine planet...
and a forbidden subject.
:16:53
To understand the events on which
I report, it is necessary to review
:16:58
the theoretical data
on the Genesis device,
:17:00
as developed by Doctors Carol
and David Marcus.
:17:03
Genesis, simply put,
is life from lifelessness.
:17:07
The device was to be introduced
into a pre-selected area
:17:11
of a lifeless space body,
a moon or other dead form.
:17:16
The device would instantaneously
cause the Genesis effect.
:17:21
Instead of a dead moon, a living,
breathing planet now exists,
:17:25
capable of sustaining whatever life
forms we see fiit to deposit on it.
:17:44
So?
:17:47
Speak.
:17:49
Great power to control, dominate.
:17:55
- Speak.
- lmpressive.
:17:58
They can make a planet.
