This is the President
of the United Federation of Planets.
:24:11
Do not approach Earth.
:24:14
The transmissions of an orbiting probe
are critically damaging this planet.
:24:20
It is ionising our atmosphere.
All power sources have failed.
:24:26
Earth-orbiting starships are powerless.
The probe is vaporising our oceans.
:24:32
We cannot survive unless a way
can be found to respond to the probe.
:24:37
Further communications
may not be possible.
:24:42
Save your energy. Save yourselves.
:24:46
Avoid the planet Earth at all costs.
Farewell.
:25:14
Let's hear the probe's transmission.
:25:16
Yes, sir. On speakers.
:25:33
- What do you make of that?
- Most unusual.
:25:36
An unknown form of energy
of great power and intelligence,
:25:40
unaware that its transmissions
are disruptive.
:25:43
I find it illogical
that its intentions be hostile.
:25:46
You think this is its way
of saying, "Hi, there!" to Earth?
:25:52
Only human arrogance would assume
the message must be meant for man.
:25:59
You're suggesting the transmission
is meant for a life form other than man?
