UhuraHailing frequencies open.
[various episodes, whenever Kirk felt it necessary to talk with an alien vessel.]
UhuraMr. Spock, sometimes I think if I hear that word "frequency" again, I'll cry.
It is illogical for a communications officer to resent the word "frequency."
UhuraThen I'm an illogical woman. Why don't you tell me what an attractive lady I am? Or how your planet looks when the moon is full.
Vulcan has no moon, Miss Uhura.
UhuraI'm not surprised.
Uhura[over the intercom] Entering planet's outer atmosphere, sir.
Captain!
What is it?
He's turned the engines off. They're completely cold. It'll take 30 minutes to regenerate them.
Uhura[over the intercom] Entering planet's outer atmosphere, sir. Ship's outer skin is beginning to heat, Captain. Orbit plot shows we have about 8 minutes left.
Scotty!
I canna change the laws of physics! I've got to have 30 minutes!
Stop it! What's the matter with you two? Didn't you hear Spock? Your planet is dead! There's nobody alive on Cheron because of hate. The cause you fought about no longer exists. Give yourselves time to breathe. Give up your hate. You're welcome to live with us. Listen to me. You both must end up dead if you don't stop hating.
You're an idealistic dreamer! [flees toward the Transporter]
Bele, the chase is finished.
He must not escape me!
Where can he go?
[Bele glances at the devastated planet Cheron and purses Lokai.]
Bele!
UhuraShall I alert Security Sir?
No Lt where can they run?
[Loki and Bele chase each other through the ship, knocking over crewmen, whilst imagining the buildings burning on their home planet.]
Captain, I have located them on ship's sensors. Bele is chasing Lokai on deck three. Bele is passing recreation room three, approaching the crewmen's lounge. Lokai is running past the crewmen's lounge. Lokai has just arrived on deck five. Passing recreation room three.
[Lokai beams down to the planet.]
UhuraCaptain, someone has activated the transporter mechanism.
Spock, anyone in the transporter room?
Negative, Captain. Transporter room is clear. However, there is a life-form materialising on the planet. It is Lokai. He is back on Cheron.
There's nobody there to try him. His judges are all dead.
UhuraCaptain, the transporter mechanism has been activated again.
Of course.
It is Bele, Captain. And another life-form has appeared on Cheron.
UhuraIt doesn't make any sense.
To expect sense from two mentalities of such extreme viewpoints is not logical.
But their planet's dead. Does it matter now which one's right?
Not to Lokai and Bele. All that matters to them is their hate.
UhuraDo you suppose that's all they ever had, sir?
No, but that's all they have left. Warp factor two, Mister Sulu. Set course for Starbase Four.
Lieutenant Uhura, has Starfleet honored our request with a reply?
UhuraThere has been no response as yet, sir.
Did you advise them the Captain's life is at stake?
UhuraYes, sir. They insist the matter must be referred to the Federation.
What department?
UhuraThe Bureau of Planetary Treaties.
Contact them directly.
UhuraI did, Mr. Spock. They insist that we must go through Starfleet channels.
