Summary[edit | edit source]
During the final ten seconds of its auto-destruct countdown above the Genesis Planet, the USS Enterprise reflects on the fact that it has possibly become a sentient being. It regrets that it will not know the future, but is content to sacrifice itself in battle rather than be decommissioned and disassembled.
