With no power left to open the bay doors, and the ship starting to sink, the whales were trapped and in danger of drowning. Upon their arrival, the Bounty's power systems began to fail as a result of their close proximity to the probe, and subsequently crashed north-west of Alcatraz in the San Francisco Bay. Using the Bounty's transporters, the whales were beamed aboard, and the crew recreated the time warp and returned to the 23rd century. Kirk then ordered the Bounty decloaked, an act which had the effect of frightening the whalers off. Operating under cloak, the crew positioned the Bounty between the boat and the whales, successfully deflecting a harpoon. The modifications complete, the Bounty departed to retrieve the whales, in the process coming across a Finnish whaling vessel attempting to kill the whales for harvest.

Although it initially appeared as if the crew would be unable to return to their own time due to the de-crystallization of the ship's dilithium crystals as a result of the time travel, Spock was able to develop a plan whereby high-energy photons could be collected from the nuclear reactor of a naval vessel, and then injected into the dilithium chamber, causing recrystallization.Īs this was occurring, Captain Scott performed a series of modifications to the Bounty's cargo bay, transforming it into a whale tank with which to transport the humpbacks. Having no choice, the crew elected to undertake the extremely risky slingshot effect to travel back in time and retrieve two humpbacks, with the intention of returning to the 23rd century and re-establishing communication with the probe.Īfter successfully using a time warp to travel to the year 1986, Kirk ordered the Bounty set down in Golden Gate Park under cloak. Upon further investigation, Spock realized that the probe was attempting to establish communication with humpback whales, a species which had been extinct for two hundred years. During their journey home, however, they were made aware of the destructive effects on Earth of an extremely powerful alien probe. ( Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)Īfter three months of exile on Vulcan, during which the Bounty underwent repairs, such as maintenance and conversion of some of its operating systems, Kirk and his crew used the ship to return to Earth in order to face charges regarding their unauthorized appropriation of the Enterprise. After the death of Kruge on the surface of the Genesis Planet, Kirk and his crew were easily able to commandeer the ship, and used it to transport Spock, whose body had been regenerated by the Genesis wave, to Mount Seleya on Vulcan, where his katra was successfully reunited with his body. Later, in a confrontation with the USS Enterprise, the bulk of Kruge's crew was killed when Kirk manipulated them into boarding the Enterprise, which was subsequently destroyed via self-destruct.
In furtherance of this goal, the Bird-of-Prey attempted to disable the USS Grissom by targeting the engine section, which resulted in the inadvertent destruction of the science vessel. He had convinced the crewmembers aboard the vessel that they should acquire the Genesis Device from the Federation for the empire. Commander Kruge was the commanding officer of this ship. This Bird-of-Prey was in the custody of the Klingon Imperial Fleet. The Bird-of-Prey, operating under its original name, was a 23rd century Klingon starship.
