Star Trek Into Darkness Page #4

and you were reassigned.

It is fortunate that the consequences

were not more severe.

(SIGHS) You've got to be kidding me.

Captain, it was never my intention...

Not Captain.

I saved your life, Spock.

You wrote a report, I lost my ship.

Commander, I see now

I should have alerted you

to the fact that I submitted the report.

KIRK:
No, I'm familiar

with your compulsion

to follow the rules.

But you see, I can't do that.

Where I come from,

if someone saves your life,

you don't stab him in the back.

Vulcans cannot lie.

Then I'm talking

to the half-human part of you.

All right?

Do you understand

why I went back for you?

Commander Spock?

Frank Abbot, U.S.S. Bradbury.

Guess you're with me.

Yes, Captain.

The truth is

I'm going to miss you.

(SIGHS IN FRUSTRATION)

ABBOT:
Admiral Marcus, sir.

Thank you for convening

on such short notice.

Be seated.

By now, some of you

have heard what happened in London.

The target was a Starfleet data archive.

Now it's a damned hole in the ground,

42 men and women are dead.

One hour ago,

I received a message

from a Starfleet officer,

who confessed to

carrying out this attack,

that he was being

forced to do it by this man,

Commander John Harrison.

He's one of our own.

And he is the man responsible

for this act of savagery.

For reasons unknown,

John Harrison has just declared

a one-man war against Starfleet.

And under no circumstances

are we to allow this man

to escape Federation space.

You here tonight represent

the senior command

of all the vessels in the region.

And in the name of those we lost,

you will run this bastard down.

This is a manhunt,

pure and simple, so let's get to work.

Earth's perimeter sensors

have not detected

any warp signatures leaving the system,

so we know he can't be far.

You will park your ships

in a blockade formation

then deploy search vehicles

and landing parties

to run down every lead.

This man has shown willingness

to kill innocent people,

so the rules of engagement are simple.

If you come across this man

and fear for your life

or the lives of those nearby,

you are authorized to

use deadly force on sight.

- What's in the bag?

- James, not now.

It doesn't seem odd to you

that he'd target an archive?

It's like bombing a library.

Chris? Everything okay there?

Yes, sir. Mr. Kirk is just acclimating

to his new position as First Officer.

You got something to say, Kirk, say it.

Tomorrow's too late.

I'm fine, sir. My apologies.

Spit it out, son. Don't be shy.

Why the archive?

All that information is public record.

If he really wanted to damage Starfleet,

this could just be the beginning.

The beginning of what, Mr. Kirk?
