The landing party materializes on board the Botany Bay, and Scott confirms that the vessel is Terran in origin, using old style atomic power and computers with transistor units. " A man from the 20th century coming aliveā¦" In the transporter room, Scott takes note of the life support systems coming back on, as if the ship is expecting them to transport over. Kirk also requests the services of the ship's historian, Lieutenant Marla McGivers. Now certain the ship is a derelict, Kirk orders Scott and Doctor McCoy to join an engineering party to board the ship and investigate the life readings. The Botany Bay takes no action as the Enterprise approaches it, the only sign of life being the faint life readings. Faint life signs are detected on board, and Kirk has the ship go to red alert as it closes in on the mysterious vessel to investigate. Spock identifies the vessel from its outer hull markings as the SS Botany Bay, but finds no registry of the ship in the computer library however, he points out that records of the era from which the ship was launched are fragmentary, as the 1990s was the era of the Eugenics Wars, a "strange and violent period in your history" as Spock puts it. Captain Kirk recognizes it as being similar to the DY-500 class, but Spock points it out as being the much older DY-100, built back in the 1990s. In 2267, the USS Enterprise encounters a spacecraft floating in deep space, sending out a signal in Morse code.
