1:45:02
Why?
1:45:03
You infest Enterprise.
1:45:06
You interfere with the creator
in the same manner.
1:45:09
Carbon units
are not an infestation.
1:45:13
They are...
1:45:15
a natural function
of the creator's planet.
1:45:18
They are living things.
1:45:19
They are not true life-forms.
1:45:23
Only the creator and other
similar life-forms are true.
1:45:26
"Similar life-forms."
1:45:29
Jim, V'Ger is saying
its creator is a machine.
1:45:36
A machine.
1:45:51
Captain.
1:45:57
V'Ger is a child.
1:46:01
L suggest you treat it as such.
1:46:03
- A child?
- Yes, Captain.
1:46:04
A child...
1:46:06
evolving, learning, searching...
1:46:11
instinctively needing.
1:46:13
- Needing what?
- Spock.
1:46:16
This child is about to wipe out
every living thing on Earth.
1:46:20
Now, what do you suggest we do?
Spank it?
1:46:26
It knows only that it needs,
Commander.
1:46:30
But, like so many of us...
1:46:33
it does not know what.
1:46:48
The carbon units know why
the creator has not responded.
1:46:55
Disclose the information.
1:46:57
Not until V'Ger withdraws the
devices orbiting the third planet.
