Chekov had beamed down with five security officers and captured the Klingons. They hear phaser fire, then silence, then Chekov calling them. Sensing trouble, Sulu pushes the female colonist and McCoy away from a sudden Klingon ambush. Kodrash says that is "preferable to returning to the Empire later than ordered." Scotty replies he'll blow up their ship if Kodrash doesn't return them in one hour. They will be returned in exchange for dilithium. Kodrash, captain of the Klingon cruiser, says his landing party has captured three of Scotty's shipmates. Unable to communicate with Sulu and McCoy, Kirk, Spock and Taskul pursue in another boat. Meanwhile, the baby is reunited with its parents, who tell them that the Klingon group has already been there, smashed their radio, and taken a boat. In order to beam up a quantity of dilithium found by Doctor McCoy and Helmsman Sulu, we are tapping residual charge from ship's phasers for a single-surge boost directly into the transporter. Spock realizes their value as hostages had ended, and quickly wrenches wires from an electrical junction box to plunge the mine into darkness, allowing them to evade their captors and flee outside.Ĭaptain's Log: Stardate 7504.7. McCoy reports to Kirk that they've found dilithium aboard a wrecked Klingon ship a few kilometers downriver, unaware he is being overheard. After taking their phasers and communicators, Koth demands dilithium in exchange for their lives, and threatens to use an agonizer on him.Īt the end of their tour, the female colonist brings Sulu and McCoy to a Klingon D7 class battlecruiser that had crashed before she'd been born. Then they hear crying, run to discover a bound Human baby, and find themselves surrounded by five Klingons.
Meanwhile, two Klingons remaining on the planet, Krax and Koth, first officer of the Kandar, watch from nearby woods.Īt the mine, Taskul tells Kirk, Spock and another colonist that "every known detection technique" had not located dilithium. Sulu had requested to be on the landing party in order to see the planet's famous flora, so the female colonist takes McCoy and Sulu on a guided tour of the area. The colonists say the Klingons have searched the mine and failed to find any dilithium there. Kirk, Spock, Leonard McCoy, Hikaru Sulu and Arcturian mining engineer Ensign Taskul land a shuttle near the colony. Janice Rand reports power reserves too low to trust the transporter, so James T. The Klingon ship leaves at impulse speed. We have made contact with the Forma VI colony, and received permission to land a party. The Klingons have left orbit at our warp speed approach. Rather than reveal our limited capability to Klingons already in orbit, we are using the last of our reserves to approach at warp speed. Our dilithium supply nearly exhausted, we are en route to Forma VI to replenish our supply. On the threshold of total burnout our dilithium reserves, we are enroute to Forma VI, in the hope of replenishing our supply from a played out mine there.Ĭaptain's Log: Stardate 7504.4. The ship is more than four years away from the nearest starbase at sub- warp speed, but nine days away from Forma VI, site of a colony and an old dilithium mine.Ĭaptain's Log: Stardate 7504.3. The Enterprise is marginally operational. The recent drain upon our dilithium reserves critically limits our range and capability.
