Lieutenant Ilia
reporting for duty, sir.
:33:03
Welcome aboard, Lieutenant.
:33:07
- Hello, Ilia.
- Decker.
:33:09
L was stationed on the lieutenant's
home planet some years ago.
:33:13
Commander Decker?
:33:16
Yes, our exec and science officer.
:33:18
Captain Kirk has
the utmost confidence in me.
:33:22
And in you, too, Lieutenant.
:33:25
My oath of celibacy
is on record, Captain.
:33:27
- May I assume my duties?
- By all means.
:33:32
Starfleet reports our last six
crew members are ready to beam up...
:33:36
but one of them is refusing
to step into the transporter.
:33:40
Oh? L'll see to it
that he beams up.
:33:44
Transporter room.
:33:50
- Yeoman?
- Yes, sir?
:33:51
- What was the problem down there?
- He insisted we go first, sir.
:33:54
Said something about first seeing
how it scrambled our molecules.
:34:00
Has a familiar ring, doesn't it?
:34:03
Starfleet, this is Captain Kirk.
:34:06
Beam that officer up now.
:34:29
Well, for a man who swore
he'd never return to Starfleet...
:34:32
Just a moment, Captain, sir.
L'll explain what happened.
:34:37
Your revered Admiral Nogura
invoked a little-known...
:34:40
seldom-used
reserve activation clause.
:34:44
In simpler language, Captain,
they drafted me!
:34:47
They didn't.
:34:51
This was your idea.
This was your idea, wasn't it?
:34:54
Bones, there's a thing out there.
:34:56
Why is any object we don't
understand always called a thing?
:34:59
Headed this way. L need you.
