One side always faces the sun.
Temperatures reach 1 80 degrees.
:07:07
The mines line the temperate zone
between the day and night sides,
:07:11
but they are deserted.
:07:13
Why the devil
are we going to this planet?
:07:16
Are there any miners
or indigenous life forms there?
:07:19
The answer to both questions is no,
sir.
:07:22
It is nothing
but a lifeless hunk of rock,
:07:25
a useless ball of mud,
a worthless chunk...
:07:27
Thank you, Data, I get the idea.
:07:31
Captain, we are approaching
Dytallix B.
:07:34
Very good, Number One. I'm on my way.
:07:46
Captain, sensors are detecting
three Federation starships
:07:50
- already in orbit around the planet.
- Identify.
:07:54
Two are frigates. The Renegade,
commanded by Tryla Scott,
:07:58
and the Thomas Paine,
Capt Rixx commanding.
:08:03
The third
is coming into range now, sir.
:08:06
It is Ambassador-class
heavy cruiser USS Horatio.
:08:12
Horatio?
lsn't that Walker Keel's ship?
:08:15
Attempts at communication
have been ignored by all three.
:08:18
Make no further attempts, Mr Worf.
:08:21
Any life-form readings
on the surface?
:08:23
Three, sir. All gathered
inside what appears to be
:08:27
the entrance to a mining tunnel.
:08:29
Very well.
:08:31
Relay those coordinates to the
transporter room. I'm beaming down.
:08:35
- Alone, Captain?
- Alone, Number One.
