- Crossing the terminator into night.
- The west coast of North America.
:36:08
- I am receiving whale song.
- Put them on speakers.
:36:22
This is strange.
:36:24
The song is coming
directly from San Francisco.
:36:30
From the city?
That doesn't make sense.
:36:35
We have a serious problem.
:36:42
It's these Klingon crystals.
The time travel drained them.
:36:47
- They're decrystalising.
- Give me a round figure.
:36:51
24 hours, staying cloaked. After that
we're visible and dead in the water.
:36:58
We haven't the power to break out
of Earth's gravity or get home.
:37:03
We can't stop now.
Can't we recrystalise the dilithium?
:37:07
We can't even do that
in the 23rd century.
:37:19
Admiral, there may be
a 20th century possibility.
:37:25
I recall there was a dubious
flirtation with nuclear fission reactors.
:37:29
They resulted in toxic side-effects
and were replaced in the fusion era.
:37:35
But at this time,
we may be able to find some.
:37:40
- But you said they were toxic.
- We collect only high-energy photons.
:37:46
These photons would recrystalise
the dilithium structure... theoretically.
:37:52
- Where would we find these reactors?
- They were used in naval vessels.
