Kirk: "Kirk to Enterprise." Spock: "Spock here." Kirk: "Captain Spock,
damage report." Spock: "Admiral, if we go by the book, like Lieutenant
Saavik, hours would seem like days." Kirk: "I read you, Captain,
let's have it." Spock: "The situation is grave, Admiral. We won't
have main power for six days. Auxiliary power has temporarily failed.
Restoration may be possible, in two days, 'by the book', Admiral."
Kirk: "Meaning you can't even beam us back?" Spock: "Not at present."
Kirk: "Captain Spock, if you don't hear from us within one hour, your
orders are to restore what power you can, take the Enterprise to
the nearest starbase, and alert Starfleet Command as soon as you're
out of jamming range." Uhura: "Sir, we won't leave you behind." Kirk:
"Uhura, if don't hear from us there won't be anyone behind. Kirk
out."
