Ambush (The Enterprise Incident)

[Bridge]

CHEKOV: I have completed the assignment, Captain. A theoretical incursion into KIRK: Yes, Mister Chekov. I can read, and as usual your theoretical evaluations do not tally with mine. Return to your duty and I'll let you know when your work is satisfactory. KIRK: Mister Spock. Full sensor scan of the region, please. SPOCK: I did give a full report KIRK: Yes, Mister Spock, that was the past. I'm concerned with the present. Or is it becoming too much for this crew to present me current information? SPOCK; No, sir. Compliance presents no problem. KIRK: Then, Mister Spock, comply. SPOCK: Sensor scan to one half parsec. Negative, Captain. KIRK: Very well. MCCOY [OC]: I can find no reason for the captain's behaviour, except possibly that we've been on patrol too long without relief and diversion. He has resisted all of my attempts to run a psychological profile on him. SULU: Maintaining course and speed, sir. KIRK: Change course. Come about to one eight five, mark three. SULU: But, sir, that'll lead us directly into the Romulan Neutral Zone. KIRK: Yes, very perceptive, Mister Sulu. I know where the course change takes us. Execute. SULU: Aye, sir. SPOCK: Increasing sensor scan to one parsec. All scanners report clear. Nothing in our immediate vicinity. KIRK: Better and better, Mister Spock. SULU: Captain, leaving Neutral Zone. Now entering Romulan space. (Scott enters the Bridge.) KIRK: Very well, Mister Sulu. SCOTT: Lieutenant, when did the order come through? UHURA: Order? SCOTT: From Starfleet. The order to enter the Neutral Zone. UHURA: There's been no order I know of, Mister Scott. SCOTT: Surely the Captain couldn't be doing this on his own authority. KIRK: If you two have complaints, you can bring them out into the open. (A sinister shape appears on the viewscreen.) SCOTT: That's a Klingon ship! But it couldn't be, not in this area. SPOCK: Intelligence reports Romulans now using Klingon design. KIRK: Sound Red Alert. Man battle stations. Stand by main phasers. UHURA: Battle stations. All hands, battle stations. SPOCK: A second ship has appeared. (another one decloaks) Correction, there are now three. We are surrounded.
