:30:00
45-50 feet long, about 40 tons each.
:30:04
You're going to try time travel
in this rust bucket?
:30:07
You'd have to slingshot around
the sun to pick up enough speed.
:30:12
- Would you prefer to do nothing?
- I prefer common sense.
:30:15
We go back in time, find some whales,
then bring them forward in time,
:30:21
and hope to hell
they tell this probe to clear off?
:30:25
- That's crazy!
- You have a better idea?
:30:30
- Computation is in progress.
- Uhura, get me Starfleet Command.
:30:44
I'm picking up a faint transmission
from Admiral Kirk.
:30:48
On screen.
:30:51
Starfleet Command,
this is Admiral James T. Kirk.
:30:58
We have intercepted
and analysed the call of the probe.
:31:02
Go to reserve power.
:31:05
It is our opinion that only
the extinct humpback whale
:31:09
can give a proper response
to the probe.
:31:12
Stabilise. Emergency reserve.
:31:21
We are going to attempt time travel.
:31:25
We are computing our trajectory
at this time.
:31:29
Get him back!
:31:44
Ready to engage computer.
:31:48
- What's our target in time?
- Late 20th century.
:31:52
I've had to programme
some of the variables from memory.
:31:56
- What are the variables?
- Availability of fuel. Mass of the vessel.
