Sulu, Lock Phasers and Await My Command 1

Captains Log Star date 8391.1, I now face a terrible dilemma. After the bloodiest of battles with a crew from another dimension, a crew of doppelgangers, in essence a crew of ourselves, we have finally gained the upper hand, and this other Enterprise, Enterprise of ourselves, Enterprise of unquestioning faith, is tumbling, helplessly through the coldness of space. And I, I remain unsure of my next move. Do I destroy this other Enterprise before it makes me believe in the ideas I hear repeated the most? If I destroy it, what will the consequences be for me and my crew? (Status Mr. Chekov?) Captain, her shields are down With no anti-matter inducer interface Basically she's a wounded wessel Just hurling through space (Spock) But her coils are recharging As is that of her design You have only a brief window Before her mains are back on line Mr. Sulu, arm photon torpedoes And stay ready with your hand Lock phasers on target And then await my next command (locking phasers) (Uhura) Captain, the other Enterprise is hailing Wishing to express their desire This faith-based you wants to discuss The terms of a mutual cease fire (ON SCREEN) (the faith-based me} What's the meaning of this attack? You have taken this too far And don't you dare forget I know how blood thirsty you are (the questioning me) You represent the old me The empty parrot of my faith But so often you gave me comfort During the loneliest of days (the faith-based me) Then we have an understanding You can see that you need me I just want.............. to live..... To love and ........to breath......
