StarTrek 6: The Neutral Zone
Part II of VIII
From Part I of StarTrek 6: The Neutral Zone
Voice Over: There Shall Be NO PEACE, so long as Kirk Lives!
In the war torn corners of space known as the neutral zone, battle has
already begun. As the Federation and the Klingons jockey for political
position, field commanders fight to stay alive.
With an ongoing shortage of dilithium and Federation/Klingon relations on a
war footing there is a growing unrest among starfleet field commanders
underfire in the field. James T. Kirk has become a liability.
Captain Nielson: [Garbled and static filled] Captain Nielson here.
[Clearer] We are functional enough not to need YOUR escort Enterprise,
Sorenson OUT. [captain motions to the officer to cut off communications by
drawing an imaginary slash across his throat]
Orrington: Bad. We've lost 6 starships and 19 ore carriers. The outer
stations are calling for the head of James Kirk
As the galaxy stands on the brink of a war that could obliterate billions,
An advanced research team has made a discovery that could eternally change
the balance of power.
Novak: I say we keep this secret, we don't even know what we're dealing
with here.
Jennings: {With Hostility} We were sent out here by Starfleet as a survey
team. I don't think any of us have to be reminded of what's going on out
there.
Novak: Starfleet politics are not our concern, we are a mining research
station not the Starfleet General Security Council.
Xu: Computer On Audio, full screening
Taylor: That sounds like a biologic.
Orrington: Theres only one way to know for sure, We'll have to go down
there.
An Allianced is formed in the heat of political battle;
Figure: Our ranks are larger than you know.
Figure: Then we have a deal Mr. Ambassador, [Pan angle spins to a starfleet
insignia above the computer. as we are over the shoulder of the figure
locking head on at the monitor] Have your forces stand ready.
Voice Over: To the End of these attacks.
----
And Now Part II of The Neutral Zone
Figure: And the End of James -- T. -- Kirk.
He presses a button on the comm system sounding the familiar intership
whistle. As the screen blinks to the Starfleet Logo.
Communications Voice Over: Narrott Here Sir, Captain
Captian: Get me Captain Halverton Nielson code 47-- Captain's eyes only.
On board the Enterprise a rather disgruntled Kirk steps into a turbo lift,
Chekov steps quickly into the turbo lift
Kirk: {To Chekov} Commander. Transporter Room Three.
Chekov: Bridge.
There is a momentary silence as the turbo lift streaks to its destination.
The mechanical whirr of the turbo lift is the only sound.
Chekov: {Slowly} Keptin, is it worth it?
Kirk: Commander?
Chekov: having command of your own starship?
Kirk: You're referring to Sulu's command obviously.
Chekov: Awviously.
Kirk looks more worn now than ever before, he composes himself and turns
to Chekov for a second.
Kirk: Trust me, [The Elevator stops] Its not what it used to be.
Chekov: Keptin?
The Doors of the turbolift close on his words. And cut to the opening of
the transporter room doors. McCoy stands in the room arms folded, a look
of disdain on his face equalled only by the look on the face of Kirk. Kirk
takes a stand next to McCoy & Spock and there is a long silence.
Spock: Captain. [almost asking, whats wrong?]
McCoy: Jim.
Kirk: Starfleet is putting us out to pasture. Because of the Klingons are
putting a hefty price on my staying in Starfleet, weve been assigned to
transport duty gentlemen.
McCoy feeling the heavyness of Kirk's words tries to lighten the mood.
McCoy: So once ar, {a beat} Why would we be intrusted to simulate transport
for a stannious based xenovoric envoy preferring to sustain dorsally?
McCoy: {To Jim but pointed at Spock} He's still under warrantee isn't he
Jim.
Kirk: Gentlemen, your attempt at houmor is duly noted,
There is a COLD pause.
McCoy: [Softly]: Sorry. [A doble Beat] Im a doctor, not a comedian.
Spock raises an eyebrow in agreement.
The shot cuts to the hands of transporter chief activating the
transporter. The circular transporter pads hm and then a blue glow
encircles the pad. In a shimmering glow of the transporter beam Kirk is
able to barely make out the face of his passenger for this mission. She
stands on the transporter platform for a moment. The air becomes electric.
McCoy: {Softly} Well, well, Dr. Carol Marcus
Marcus: Dr. McCoy, Mr. Spock, {She steps of the transporter pad and walks
towards Kirk. There is a feeling Marcus wants to say more but doesn't}
Captain.
Kirk: {Softly and only to Carol} Jim, {He starts}
The shot is just of Kirk, the rest are just voices.
Spock: You see Doctor we have not been giv.. {Suddenly} Doctor McCoy
Kicking a superior officer is punishable by section
Kirk: {Moving only his eyes toward them, a small smirk on his face} Mr.
Spock, Bones. {Bones and Spock glance at each other and McCoy puts on an
artificially large grin as Spock looks as happy as vulcans look. (Okay he
raises an eyebrow)} [Kirk under his breath, almost showing off for Carol
Marcus] And to think I turned down command of the Avitar for this.
Marcus [Ice Cold]:May I been shown to my quarters Captain. We have an
important mission ahead of us.
Ext. Shot The Enterprise sits in stardock as the Uss Excelsior pulls into
the bay work continues on the Enterprise and other ships in the bay as
cargo pods streak through hold of the massive stardock. In conference room
seven of the Enterprise Kirk, Marcus, Uhura, Scotty and McCoy sit
Spock Enters.
McCoy: Can We get this underway
Kirk: Have you got something to do Doctor?
McCoy: As A matter of fact I do
Spock: Navigaation Banks linked in Captian.
Kirk: Are we ready to leave Stardock Scotty? {He finishes as spock takes a
seat}
Scotty: She can be ready now Captain, all systems are up to 80%. Give me
thirty minutes and she'll be purring like a newborn kitty.
Kirk: [Acknowledging the rather interesting analogy] Are We Combat ready?
Scotty: Aye. That she will captain. She'll be ready for anything those
Klingons can throw at us Captain.
Kirk: Thank You Mr. Scott, {Clicking on the communicator} Mr. Chekov
proceed on departure procedures and lay in course for Epsilon Alpha as soon
as possible, and notify me. Kirk Out. {Looking up at Spock, Click off.}
Dr. Marcus;
Activating a 3-D hologram representation, Marcus begins.
Marcus: [50.220.32] Epsilon Alpha is a class M planet, Cataloged 4121.1, no
natural satellites, no remarkable ores, Uncharted. Primary use now is an
outpost mining and survey colony under the command of Colin Kellogg.
Operation status, Classified.
Spock: {Hands folded, swivelling towards doctor Marcus} Then I don't
understand Doctor, what is so important about this particular planet?
Marcus: I am not a liberty to reveal that information at this time Mr.
Spock. {to Spock who's Sitting Contemplative}
McCoy: But needless to say starfleet found it neccessary to commandeer the
Enterprise before we even reached stardock.
Kirk: As you know well be running blind and flag-down, Meaning no friend or
foe identification codes
Scotty: Aye and we wont know where we are till we get there..
Kirk: Exactly, The only thing that we know for sure is that we'll be
heading into the delta and I want every department on this ship at peak
performance, understood?
All nod in agreement except Spock who keeps starring at the 3D halogram.
Kirk: Something wrong Spock?
McCoy: Maybe we can trade him in for a newer model Jim
Kike: Bones
Spock: [a beat] A momentary diversion Captain,
Kirk: Would You Care To Elab..
The sound of the intercom breaks the session,
Chekov: {Over speaker} All sections report operational and ready for
departure.
Kirk: Received Mr. Chekov --I'll be right there, Everyone, to your
stations.
Everyone leaves except Spock, Kirk and Marcus
Spock: {Only to Kirk} one thing for certain "Jim" as you stated this
mission well take us well into the delta; the area adjoining the
federation, the romulans and
Kirk: The Klingons, understood Spock. You Have the conn.
Spock nods and departs. Kirk looks down at the conference table and then at
Carol.
Kirk: Carol.
Marcus:[Leaving the table and heading for the door] I have duties to attend
to, Captain you'll excuse me [She starts as Kirk grabs onto her arm]
Kirk: Carol, I...
Marcus:[Flustered] I must
Kirk: Carol [Pausing] we need to talk
Marcus:[She breaks free and walks toward the door and stops] Damn You. [A
beat] He was MY son, 20 years of my life and then you waltzed back into my
life and you took him, [a beat] you didnt call, [a beat] you didnt even
come to his funeral and most of all you didnt care.
Kirk: Thats not fair, Our son, I would have given my life for him...
Marcus: Thats a lie! You gave your life to Starfleet 20 years ago. "OUR
son"?, How dare You! [Hurt] You want to talk?, talk to Spock! Not Fair?
I'll tell you whats not fair,[a long hard pause] Its not fair that it was
him instead of you!
On those words Marcus turns and storms out of the conference room. Standing
in the door way looking back at him tearfully
Marcus: If giving your life would fill this emptyness in my life[clutching
at her chest], If it would bring my boy back, Id gladly take you up on that
offer! Now live with that!
