Star Trek 7: Generations

How does it feel to be back on the enterprise bridge?

Female reporter: Captain kirk?

- Can I ask you a few questions? - Did you participate in the redesign?

Female reporter: We'd like to know how you feel about being on...

Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.

There will be plenty of time for questions later.

I'm captain John harriman, and I'd like to welcome you all aboard.

- It's our pleasure. - I just want you to know

how excited we all are

to have a group of living legends with us on our maiden voyage.

I remember reading about your missions when I was in grade school.

Really?

- Well, may we have a look around? - Please, please.

Yes, sir, it's very nice to finally meet you.

- Chekov: Demora! - Excuse me. Captain?

This is the first starship enterprise in 30 years

without James t. Kirk in command. How do you feel about that, sir?

Just fine. I'm glad to be here to send her on her way.

And what have you been doing since you retired?

Keeping busy.

Captain kirk, just a few more questions, sir.

Man: Why don't we give the captain a chance to look around first?

Captain. Excuse me.

I'd like you to meet the helmsman of the enterprise-b. Demora.

Ensign demora sulu.

It's a pleasure to meet you, sir.

My father's told me some interesting stories about you.

- Your father is hikaru sulu? - Yes, sir.

- You've met her before, but she was... - It wasn't that long ago.

- It couldn't have been more than... - Twelve years, sir.

- Twelve years? - Absolutely.

Incredible.

Congratulations, ensign.

It wouldn't be the enterprise without a 8qu at the helm.

Thank you, sir.

I'm sure hikaru must be very proud of you.

I hope so.

I was never that young.

No, you were younger.

- Scotty: Damn fine ship if you ask me. - Scotty, it absolutely amazes me.

And what would that be, sir?

Sulu, when did he find time for a family?

Well, like you always say,

if something's important, you make the time.

So that's why you seem so restless.

Finding retirement a little lonely, are we?

You know, I'm glad you're an engineer.

With tact like that, you'd make a lousy psychiatrist.

Excuse me, gentlemen, if you'll take your seats.

Yes, of course.

Prepare to leave spacedock.

Aft thrusters ahead one-quarter, port and starboard at station keeping.

- Captain kirk. - Yes?

I'd be honored if you'd give the order to get underway.

- Thank you very much, I... - Please, sir.

- No, no, no, no. - Please, I insist.

Take us out.

- Very good, sir. - Brought a tear to me eye.

Be quiet.

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

Now that you've seen the rest of the ship,

how does it feel to be back?

- Well, we... fine. - Fine, fine.

- Fine, fine. - Well, ladies and gentlemen,

we've just cleared the asteroid belt.

Our course today will take us out beyond pluto

and then back to spacedock. Just a quick run around the block.

Reporter: Captain, will there be time

to conduct any tests on the warp-drive system?

We're picking up a distress call, captain.

On speakers.

Distorted voice: This is the transport ship lakul.

We 're caught in some kind of energy distortion.

Two ships in our convoy... trapped in a severe gravimetric distortion.

We can't break free. We need immediate help.

It's tearing us apart. This is the transport...

The lakul is one of two ships

transporting ei-aurian refugees to earth.

Ensign sulu, can you locate them?

The ships are bearing at 3-1-0 Mark 2-1-5.

Distance, three light-years.

Signal the closest starship.

We're in no condition to mount a rescue.

- We don't even have a full crew aboard. - We're the only one in range, sir.

Well, then, I guess it's up to us.

Helm, lay in an intercept course and engage at maximum warp.

Demora: Aye, sir.

Captain, is there something wrong with your chair?

We're within visual range of the energy distortion, captain.

On screen.

What the hell is that?

I've located the transport ships.

Their hulls are starting to buckle under the stress.

They won't survive much longer.

We're encountering severe gravimetric distortions

from the energy ribbon, captain.

We'll have to keep our distance. We don't wanna get pulled in, too.

- (Softly) Tractor beam. - Hmm?

- Tractor beam. - We don't have a tractor beam.

You left spacedock without a tractor beam?

It won't be installed until Tuesday.

Ensign sulu,

try generating a subspace field around the ships.

That might break them free.

Demora: There's too much quantum interference, captain.

What about... what about venting plasma from the warp nacelles?

That might disrupt the ribbon's hold on the ships.

Aye, sir. Releasing drive plasma.

It's not having any effect, sir. I think the ribbon's hold...

Sir, the starboard vessel's hull is collapsing!

Chekov: How many people were on that ship?

Demora: Two hundred and sixty-five.

Sir, the lakul's hull integrity is down to 12%.

Captain kirk, I would appreciate any suggestions you might have.

First, move us within transporter range.

Beam those people aboard the enterprise.

What about the gravimetric distortions? They'll tear us apart.

Risk is part of the game if you wanna sit in that chair.

Helm, close to within transporter range.

Second, turn that damn thing off!

- We're within range, sir. - Beam them directly to sickbay.

- Man: Aye, sir. - How big is your medical staff?

The medical staff? It doesn't arrive till Tuesday.

You and you, you've just become nurses. Let's go.

Main engineering reports fluctuations in the warp plasma relays.

Sir, I'm having trouble locking on to them.

They appear to be in some sort of temporal flux.

Kirk: Scotty!

Scotty: What the hell?

Their life signs are phasing in and out of our space-time continuum.

Phasing? To where?

- Sir, their hull's collapsing! - Kirk: Beam them out of there, Scotty!

Scotty: Transport complete.

I got 47

outof150.

- Report! - We're caught in a gravimetric field

emanating from the trailing edge of the ribbon.

All engines, full reverse!

It's going to be all right. We're going to help you.

We are going to help you.

Man 1: It's okay. Everything is fine. Man 2: My wife...

Why? Why?

It's all right. You're safe. You're on the enterprise.

- No, no, I have to go. I have to go back. - You need to stay right here.

- No. You don't understand. - It's okay.

Let me go back. Let me go back!

Let me go back. Let me go back. Please!

- Man: What was he talking about? - I have no idea.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

It's going to be okay. You'll be all right. You just need to rest. Come over here.

There's just no way to disrupt a gravimetric field of this magnitude.

- Hull integrity at 82%. - But I do have a theory.

I thought you might.

An antimatter discharge directly ahead

might disrupt the field long enough for us to break away.

- Photon torpedoes. - Aye.

We're losing main power.

Kirk: Load torpedo bays. Prepare to fire at my command.

- Captain, we don't have any torpedoes. - Don't tell me, Tuesday.

- Hull integrity at 40%. - Captain, it may be possible

to simulate a torpedo blast

using a resonance burst from the main deflector dish.

- Where are the deflector relays? - Deck 15, section 21-Alpha.

I'll go. You have the bridge.

Kirk: Wait.

Your place is on the bridge of your ship.

I'll take care of it.

Scotty, keep things together until I get back.

I always do.

Forty-five seconds to structural collapse.

Bridge to captain kirk.

Kirk here.

I don't know how much longer I can hold her together.

That's it. Let's go!

Activate main deflector.

We're breaking free.

Demora: It's all right. I'm increasing power to compensate.

- We're clear. - You did it, kirk!

Damage report, ensign.

There's some buckling on the starboard nacelle.

We've also got a hull breach in engineering section.

Emergency force fields in place and holding.

Scotty: Where?

Sections 20 through 28 on decks 13, 14

and 15.

Bridge to captain kirk. Captain kirk, please respond.

Have Chekov meet me on deck 15.

My god! Was anyone in here?

Riker: Bring out the prisoner.

Mr. Worf, I always knew this day would come.

- Are you prepared to face the charges? - Answer him.

I am prepared.

"We, the officers and crew of the u. S. S. Enterprise,

"being of sound mind and judgment,

"hereby make the following charges against lieutenant worf.

"One, that he did knowingly and wilfully
