- Admiral!
- Mr. Scott.
:15:22
Those departure orders... 12 hours.
Starfleet cannot be serious.
:15:26
Why aren't the Enterprisetransporters operating, Mr. Scott?
:15:28
A wee problem, sir.
Just temporary.
:15:30
Admiral, we have just
finished 18 months...
:15:33
redesigning and refitting
the Enterprise.
:15:35
How in hell do they expect me
to have her ready in 12 hours?
:15:37
Take me over, please.
:15:43
She needs more work, sir.
A shakedown!
:15:45
Mr. Scott, an alien object of
unbelievable destructive power...
:15:50
is less than three days away
from this planet.
:15:53
The only starship in interception
range is the Enterprise.
:15:57
Ready or not,
she launches in 12 hours.
:16:21
The crew haven't had
near enough transition time...
:16:23
with all the new equipment.
:16:27
And the engines... They're
not even tested at warp power.
:16:31
And an untried captain.
:16:33
Two-and-a-half years as
chief of Starfleet Operations...
:16:36
may have made me
a little stale, but I...
:16:38
wouldn't exactly
consider myself untried.
:16:45
- They gave her back to me, Scotty.
- Gave her back, sir?
:16:48
L doubt it was that easy
with Nogura.
:16:52
You're right.
:16:55
Well, any man who could
manage such a feat...
