translate English to French: Spock is calling him, telling him that he's received a private message from Starfleet Command and that by telling Kirk about it, he is violating regulations. Spock tells Kirk that he must wait until planet dawn over principal target to permit Kirk to carry out their mission; if Kirk does not discharge his duties, then Spock is ordered to kill him and proceed against the Halkans as the new captain of the Enterprise.
McCoy ne répond pas, mais Spock (miroir) utilise la fusion mentale Vulcan pour connaître toute la vérité.
