The Tholian Web: The Memorial Service For Captain Kirk

Approximately two dozen crew members assemble for Kirk's memorial service on the USS Enterprise. So far, Dr. McCoy's attempts to make an antidote for the space the spaceship is in have failed, while Theragan was promisingly tested so far. Commander Spock speaks, noting Captain Kirk's concern for his crewmembers that led him to stay aboard the Defiant. Spock repeats the sequence of events that led to Kirk's disappearance and says that the crew of the Enterprise must accept the fact that Captain Kirk is no longer alive. One of the crew members becomes unstable at this point, screaming and yelling, and must be removed. Spock concludes that "I shall not attempt to voice the quality of the respect and admiration Captain Kirk commanded. Each of you must evaluate the loss in the privacy of your own thoughts." Scotty calls the crew to order, and they observe a moment of silence.
