Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) Soundboard Edit

A simple binary code transmitted by carrier wave signal.

A thruster suit?

A wee problem, sir. Just temporary.

Absolutely, I will not interfere.

Activate auxiliary computer circuits through manual shutoff.

Admiral, this is an almost totally new Enterprise.

Admiral, we have just finished 18 months

Alien weapon is a form of plasma energy, Captain.

All planetary defense systems have just gone inoperative!

All ship's functions going to automatic, Captain

All those vessels were called Enterprise.

An answer? I don't know the question.

And a lot of foolish human emotions, right, Mr. Spock?

And an untried captain.

And complete vessel status.

And even the smallest body functions are exactly duplicated.

And fell into the machine planet's gravitational field.

And I hope we got this one off to a good start.

And I intend to keep her, is that what you're saying?

And it must evolve.

And joining with its Creator might accomplish that

And possible

And the engines, they're not even tested at warp power.

And who is the Creator?

Any thought patterns you might sense,

Apparently, a kind of plasma energy conduit,

Arm photon torpedoes!

As your continued predilection for irrelevancy demonstrates.

Assemble the crew on the recreation deck at 0400 hours

At their frequency and rate of speed.

Auxiliary power test in three minutes

Auxiliary power test in three minutes.

Aye, sir

Aye, sir

Aye, sir

Aye, sir.

Aye, sir.

Aye, sir.

Aye, sir.

Based, I am told, on your recommendation, Admiral.

Because V'Ger's going to destroy all the carbon units on the third planet.

Before carbon units can be patterned for data storage

Before forward velocity slows to sub light speed!

Belay that phaser order!

Believe luminescent cloud to be enormous power field

Both effective immediately

Bridge

Bridge to officer's lounge.

But I still recommend further simulation study.

But I wouldn't exactly consider myself untried.

But one of them is refusing to step into the transporter.

By channeling it through the main engines.

Captain Kirk has the utmost confidence in me.

Captain Kirk, revised estimate on cloud visual contact, 3.7 minutes.

Captain Kirk, these messages will detail my attempt to contact the aliens.

Captain, as your exec, it's my duty to point out alternatives.

Captain, assuming we have full warp capability,

Captain, I believe that is our destination.

Captain, I'd like to go along.

Captain, it was the engine imbalance

Captain, Starfleet is sending this tactical on V'Ger's position.

Captain, we need further warp simulation on the flow sensors.

Captain, we've been seized by a tractor beam.

Captain, with your permission,

Captain!

Captain? Starfleet signals are growing in strength, sir.

Captain.

Captain's Log, Stardate 7412.6,

Carry on with your assignment, Mr Decker

Clear the bridge, Captain?

Cleary! Put a new backup sensor into the unit.

Cloud dissipating rapidly as it approaches.

Commander, if I may?

Commander. Commander.

Communications are normal, sir.

Confirm, please

Confirmed, sir. Lunar beacons indicate intruder on a course into Earth orbit.

Contacted?

Continuing friendship messages on all frequencies, sir.

Decker, you don't know what that'll do to you!

Definitely something inside there, but all scans are being reflected back.

Deflector power is down 70%!

Deflectors, emergency full!

Designed to collect data

DiFalco, disengage engine navigation relays now!

Divert auxiliary power to deflectors

Don't interfere with it!

Don't worry

Emergency alert! Emergency alert!

Energy of a type never before encountered.

Engineer, we need warp speed now.

Engineering to all decks,

Engineering to bridge. Cannot hold full power on force fields!

Engineering, what's happening to our force fields?

Enterprise, order up the ship's computer library of records

Enterprise, stand by.

Enterprise, they could be mistaking our scans as a hostile act.

Enterprise, what we got back didn't live long.

Enterprise. The cloud is definitely a power field of some kind.

Evasive!

Every exocrine system is the same, too.

Evolving, learning, searching,

Exact composition, unknown. Guidance system, unknown.

Faulty modules.

Find the Creator? Whose...

Fine. Let's get her to sickbay.

Five hundred meters. Viewer ahead, sir

Five years out there dealing with unknowns like this.

Force field circuits E10 through 14 show ready for reactivation.

Force fields and deflectors up full, Captain!

Force fields up full! Deflectors, now!

Force fields up full. Put object on viewer

Force fields! Full remaining strength! Total reserve!

Four!

From a source more powerful than I have ever encountered.

Gentlemen.

Has been pulled into the wormhole with us, Captain, directly ahead!

He doesn't know.

He... They are in engineering, sir.

He's in engineering, sir.

Heading, sir?

Heading?

Holding at 37.65 degrees.

How do we know...

How?

I have a null reading at the centre of the cloud

I have an exterior visual.

I hear Chapel's an MD now.

I knew it! The transporter sensor was not activated.

I know engineers. They love to change things.

I need you.

I offer my services as science officer.

I remember when you recommended me for this command.

I should've known

I wish the circumstances were less critical.

I'm afraid our hand is pretty weak, Captain.

I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.

I'm sorry, Will.

I'm taking over the centre seat, Will.

I've been programmed by V'Ger to observe and record

If I had seen you again,

If our exec has no objections?

If V'Ger destroys the Enterprise,

If we could control it, persuade it, use it...

Ilia!

Ilia!

Ilia!

Ilia?

Imperial Klingon Cruiser Amar, continuing to attack.

Impulse power, Mr. Sulu.

In just a second, Exec. We're picking up the pieces down here!

Indications of some neurological trauma.

Instinctively needing.

Interrogative from Starfleet.

Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!

Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!

Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!

Investigate and take whatever action is necessary

Invoked a little known, seldom used reserve activation clause.

Is an unwarranted gamble.

Is less than three days away from this planet.

Is that possible?

It considers the Enterprise a living machine.

It doesn't seem interested in us!

It is my intention to be on that ship following that meeting.

It will happen again if we don't correct it.

It will pass into Federation space fairly close to us.

It's directly ahead.

It's running our records! Earth defenses! Starfleet strength!

Its knowledge has reached the limits of this universe

Jim, V'Ger expects an answer.

Jim, what the hell kind of strategy is this?

Just a moment, Captain, sir.

Kirk unit, disclose the information.

Kirk unit. V'Ger awaits the information

Kolinahr: through which all emotion is finally shed.

Linguacode?

List them as missing.

Looking for its Creator.

Machine.

Malfunction!

Maneuvering thrusters, Mr Sulu. Ahead one third.

Mark, zero. Incoming fire ahead.

Measures...

Mr

Mr Spock?

Mr Sulu,

Mr. Decker, every minute brings that object closer to Earth.

Mr. Scott, we need warp drive as soon as possible.

Mr. Sulu, you have the conn.

My God! Over 82 AUs in diameter.

My security scan shows it has a Grade 1 priority, Captain.

Navigational deflectors coming up, sir.

Navigational deflectors inoperative, Captain.

Navigator, lay in a conic section flight path to the cloud centre.

Navigator, maintain course. Helmsman, steady as she goes.

Negative. We'll take no provocative action.

No mystery. No beauty.

No one interfere!

No response.

No significant progress thus far,

No, Admiral. I don't think you're sorry.

No.

No.

None available, Captain.

Nor have you, Doctor,

Normal functions of the carbon based units infesting U.S.S. Enterprise.

Not a doctor who'll argue every little diagnosis with me.

Obedience, friendship might all be there!

Object is an asteroid, reading mass 0.7.

Of course not. I'm well aware of Mr Spock's qualifications.

Of the solar system directly ahead?

Oh, my God.

Only the ship.

Other dimensions, higher levels of being.

Our minds, Spock..

Our orders are to intercept,

Our sensor drone is intercepting this on Quad L 14

Our shields cannot handle another attack.

Permission to come aboard, sir.

Photon torpedo load status.

Photon torpedoes

Quite true, Doctor.

Radio?

Ready or not, she launches in 12 hours

Ready to launch remote communications drone

Recommend defensive posture, Captain. Screens and shields

Red Alert! Red Alert!

Redesigning and refitting the Enterprise.

Registering power loss on force fields!

Reply we are holding position awaiting final crew replacements

Report to me on the Enterprise in one hour.

Report to you, sir?

Science officer's computation confirmed, sir.

Scout Columbia NCC 621,

Secure all stations. Clear the bridge.

Seriously jeopardizes this mission.

Set the Enterprise transmitter on appropriate frequency

Shall I go to battle stations, sir?

She nearly always won.

She needs more work, sir. A shakedown.

She's already aboard and en route to the bridge, sir.

Signal from a Federation registered long range shuttle, sir.

Signed Commodore Probert to Starfleet.

Sir, I've located the source of V'Ger's radio signal.

Sir, the Enterprise redesign increases phaser power

Six...

So that Voyager could actually fulfil its programming.

Specifically, we want the old NASA code signal

Spock, you haven't changed a bit.

Spock!

Spock! What should you have known? What should you have known?

Spock?

Spock.

Standard on viewer.

Starfleet reports forward velocity has slowed to sub warp speed.

Starfleet, do you have them?

Subspace frequencies jammed, sir! Wormhole effect!

Systems overloading, Captain!

Take me over, please

Take us out.

Targeting asteroid!

Thank you, sir

That created the wormhole in the first place

That depends on you.

That he wouldn't put his own interests ahead of the ship's?

That measures twelfth power energy?

That object is less than two days away from Earth.

That reasons the way we do.

That was the order, Mr. Sulu. Clear the bridge!

That we are inside a living machine.

That you left Delta IV? Or that you didn't even say goodbye?

That's it, sir. I can't do any better.

That's what it's been signaling! Its readiness to transmit its information!

That's why the probe refers to our ship as an entity

That's why you're staying aboard.

The carbon units will now provide V'Ger with the required information

The Creator is that which created V'Ger.

The Creator must join with V'Ger

The Creator must join with V'Ger.

The Enterprise is in final preparation to leave dock

The existence of which cannot be proven logically.

The intruder has been attempting to communicate.

The machines interpreted it literally. They built this entire vessel

The only starship in interception range is the Enterprise.

The orbiting devices would be controlled from that point then?

The point, Captain, is that it's you who's competing.

The real Lila's memory patterns are duplicated with equal precision.

The sensor must contain some special meaning.

The words "recreation" and "enjoy"

Then take us out to 100 kilometers distance, adjusting parallel course

Then V'Ger must withdraw all the orbiting devices.

There's no response to friendship messages, sir.

They can't expect us not to look them over now

They could devastate the entire surface of the planet.

They didn't.

They seem to be reacting to our scans, sir.

They're the same things that hit us.

This consciousness calling to you from space...

This is comm station Epsilon IX calling U.S.S. Columbia.

This is Epsilon IX, Columbia. Am boosting output. How read you this?

This remains our only means of contact with our captor.

This simple feeling

This was your idea. This was your idea, wasn't it?

Those departure orders, 12 hours, Starfleet cannot be serious.

Thought patterns of exactingly, perfect order

Through the ground test computer.

Thrusters at station keeping, sir.

Time to impact?

To abort countdown, flip the control arm up.

To far more immediate and critical responsibilities.

To join us.

To touch the Creator.

Transmit image of alien to Starfleet.

Transporter personnel reports the navigator, Lieutenant Ilia,

Transporter! Do not engage.

Travel pod available. Cargo six.

Twelve.

Twenty seconds.

Twenty seven minutes. Mark!

Unable to make contact with Starfleet, Captain.

Unable to retrieve their pattern, Enterprise.

Unidentified small object

V G E R.

V O Y A G E R

V'Ger and the Creator will become one.

V'Ger has knowledge that spans this universe.

V'Ger is barren, cold.

V'Ger is that which programmed me.

V'Ger must evolve

V'Ger needs the information

V'Ger signals the Creator.

V'Ger.

V'Ger's liable to be in for one hell of a disappointment.

Viewer off!

Viewer off.

Viewer off. Your opinion has been noted.

Visual

Voyager VI!

Voyager!

Warp 0.7.

Warp 0.8.

Warp 2, sir.

Warp 3.

Warp 4

Warp 5

Warp 6.

Was it difficult?

We are closing on it rapidly, Captain

We can only hope that there is a life form aboard that vessel

We don't know that, Mr Spock.

We have been contacted.

We need him.

We need to intercept while it still is out there.

We're already two settings below that, sir.

We're transmitting linguacode friendship messages on all frequencies.

We're trapped, sir.

We've plotted a course on that cloud, Commander.

Well, any man who could manage such a feat,

Well, Bones, do the new medical facilities meet with your approval?

Well, I'm going to need a top nurse.

Well, isn't it lucky for you that we just happened to be heading your way?

Well, Jim.

What more is there than the universe, Spock?

Which means, we will now be able to intercept intruder

Why does Enterprise require the presence of carbon units?

Why has the Creator not responded?

Why is any object we don't understand always called a "thing"?

Will be reduced to data patterns

Will bring us to IP with the intruder in 20.1 hours.

Wormhole! Get us back on impulse power! Full reverse

Wrong, Mr. Chekov, there are casualties.

Yes, sir, I'll do that.

You are the Kirk unit. You will assist me.

You are, Mr. Decker.

You could understand our functions better

You have not achieved Kolinahr.

You mean, this machine wants to physically join with a human?

You received your appointment as Enterprise science officer?

You're just as warm and sociable as ever

Your child is having a tantrum, Mr. Spock.

A child? Yes, Captain. A child

Captain. Bones!

Decker! I'm going to key the final sequence

Departure angle on viewer. Departure angle.

Go manual override on helm! No manual response, sir.

Helm ready, sir. Orbital departure on plot, sir.

Hold position. Intruder location, a sonic shower.

I cannot. This Creator V'Ger is looking for,

Impact in eight seconds. Fire torpedoes!

Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert! Deck five, Captain. Officer's quarters.

It's asking questions. What questions?

Let's talk. Sure.

Lieutenant Ilia reporting for duty, sir. Welcome aboard, Lieutenant.

Malfunction! Malfunction! Give it to me!

Maneuvering thrusters, sir. Hold station

May I assume my duties? By all means.

Mr Decker... Captain.

Mr. Chekov. Aye, sir.

Mr. Decker... Emergency alert! Emergency alert!

Mr. Sulu, ahead warp 1. Warp 1, sir.

Opinion, Mr Spock. Recommend we proceed, Captain.

Permission to come aboard? Permission granted, sir.

Permission to speak freely, sir? Granted!

Right, Scotty? Aye, that we will, sir

Sir, if you'll follow me, I'll show you... I think I can find my way, Ensign.

Spock. Jim,

Torpedoes away! ...seconds.

Twelfth power energy field. Twelfth power?

Viewer ahead. Viewer ahead.

We are under attack! External view.

We know nothing about it as yet. Precisely the point, Captain.

What's the next program? Go ahead

Why, why, it's Mr Spock!

Why? The Creator has not answered

Why? You infest Enterprise.

"Is there nothing more?"

"Is this all that I am?"

"Learn all that is learnable."

"The Creator does not answer."
