Spock Prime:
It is remarkably pleasing to see you again, old friend. Especially after the events of today.
Kirk:
Uh, sir, I appreciate what you did for me today, but -- but if you were Spock you would know we're not friends at all. You hate me, you marooned me here for mutiny.
Spock Prime:
Mutiny?
Kirk:
Yes.
Spock Prime:
You are not the Captain?
Kirk:
No, no. Umm... you're the Captain. Pike was taken hostage.
Spock Prime:
By Nero.
Kirk:
What do you know about him?
Spock Prime:
He is a particularly troubled Romulan.
[stands]
Spock Prime:
Please, allow me. It will be easier.
[attempts to mind-meld with Kirk]
Kirk:
Whoa, whoa. What are you doing?
Spock Prime:
Our minds. One and together.
[Spock Prime melds with Kirk]
Spock Prime:
One hundred twenty-nine years from now, a star will explode, and threaten to destroy the galaxy. That is where I'm from, Jim. The future. The star went supernova... consuming everything in its path. I promised the Romulans that I would save their planet. We outfitted our fastest ship. Using red matter, I would create a black hole, which would absorb the exploding star. I was en route, when the unthinkable happened. The supernova destroyed Romulus. I had little time. I had to extract the red matter, and shoot it into the supernova. As I began my return trip, I was intercepted. He called himself Nero. Last of the Romulan Empire. In my attempt to escape, both of us were pulled into the black hole. Nero went through first. He was the first to arrive. Nero spent the next twenty-five years awaiting my arrival. But what was years for Nero, was only seconds for me. I went through the black hole. Nero was waiting for me. He held me responsible for the loss of his world. He captured my vessel, and spared my life for one reason. So that I would know his pain. He beamed me here, so that I could observe his vengeance. As he was helpless to save his planet, I would be helpless to save mine. Billions of lives lost, because of me, Jim. Because I failed.
