Transitioning to Command and New Challenges
Montgomery Scott
The crew haven't had near enough transition time with all the new equipment. And the engines—they're not even tested at warp power. And an untried captain.
James T. Kirk
Two-and-a-half years as chief of Starfleet Operations may have made me a little stale, but I wouldn't exactly consider myself ... untried. (Scott looks to Kirk in surprise) They gave her back to me, Scotty.
Montgomery Scott
Gave her back sir? I doubt it were that easy with Nogura.
James T. Kirk
(attempting a Scottish accent) Ye Right. (both men chuckle)
Montgomery Scott
Well any man who could manage such a feat I would nea dare disappoint...she'll launch on time Sir...and she'll be ready. (lays a fatherly hand on Kirks arm)

A Timeless Exchange Between Friends
Leonard McCoy
Spock, you haven't changed a bit. You're just as warm and sociable as ever.
Spock
Nor have you, doctor, as your continued predilection for irrelevancy demonstrates.

Phaser Order Countermanded Due to System Imbalance
James T. Kirk
All right, explanation. Why was my phaser order countermanded?
Willard Decker
Sir, the Enterprise redesign increases phaser power by channeling it through the main engines. When they went into anti-matter imbalance, the phasers were automatically cut-off.
James T. Kirk
(crestfallen) Then you acted properly, of course.
Willard Decker
Thank you, sir. I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.
James T. Kirk
You saved the ship.
Willard Decker
I'm aware of that, sir.
James T. Kirk
(getting angry) Stop...competing with me, Decker.

Exploring Molecular Scrambling in Star Trek
James T. Kirk
Yeoman?
Yeoman
Yes, sir?
James T. Kirk
What was the problem down there?
Yeoman
He insisted we go first, sir. Said something about first seeing how it scrambled our molecules.
James T. Kirk
Has a familiar ring, doesn't it? Starfleet, this is Captain Kirk. Beam that officer up now.
[to Rand]
James T. Kirk
Well, for a man who swore he'd never return to Starfleet—
Leonard McCoy
Just a moment, Captain, sir. I'll explain what happened. Your revered Admiral Nogura invoked a little-known, seldom-used reserve activation clause. In simpler language, Captain, they drafted me!
James T. Kirk
They didn't!
Leonard McCoy
This was your idea. This was your idea, wasn't it?
James T. Kirk
Bones, there's a thing out there.
Leonard McCoy
Why is any object we don't understand always called a thing?
James T. Kirk
Headed this way. I need you. Damn it, Bones, I need you. Badly!

Discontent with New Medical Facilities
James T. Kirk

Conflict Over Command on the Enterprise
Willard Decker
Admiral, this is an almost totally new Enterprise. You don't know her a tenth as well as I do.
James T. Kirk
That's why you're staying aboard. I'm sorry, Will.
Willard Decker
No, Admiral, I don't think you're sorry. Not one damn bit. I remember when you recommended me for this command. You told me how envious you were and how much you hoped you'd find a way to get a starship command again. Well, sir, it looks like you found a way.
James T. Kirk
Report to the bridge, Commander, immediately.
Willard Decker
Aye, sir.

Exploring the Birth of New Life-Forms
James T. Kirk
Spock, did we just see the beginning of a new life-form?
Spock
Yes, Captain. We witnessed a birth. Possibly a next step in our evolution.
James T. Kirk
I wonder.
Leonard McCoy
Well, it's been a long time since I delivered a baby. And I hope we got this one off to a good start.
James T. Kirk
I hope so too. I think we gave it the ability to create its own sense of purpose... out of our own human weaknesses... and the drive that compels us to overcome them.
Leonard McCoy
And a lot of foolish human emotions. Right, Mr. Spock?
Spock
Quite true, Doctor. Unfortunately, It will have to deal with them as well.

Commander Branch Analyzes Mysterious Power Field
Commander Branch
Enterprise, the cloud is definitely a power field of some kind. Measures— my God— over 82 AUs in diameter. Must be something incredible inside there generating it. We're transmitting linguacode friendship messages on all frequencies. No response.

A Question of Urgency and Humor

McCoy's Thoughts on Nurse Chapel and Sick Bay
Leonard McCoy
Well, Jim, I hear Chapel's an M.D. now. Well I'm going to need a top nurse... not a doctor who will argue every little diagnosis with me. And they probably redesigned the whole sick bay, too! I know engineers—they love to change things.
