Spock requests a moment alone with his former commanding officer, and says cryptically to him, " You know why I have come… I know it is treachery and it is mutiny, but I must do this." Pike can do nothing but repeatedly beep " No." His sole means of communication is a flashing light with an accompanying beep: once for yes, twice for no. Now, confined to a wheelchair, Pike is disfigured and cannot speak, though his mind is unimpaired. Pike removed the cadets who were still alive, severely exposing himself to delta rays.

Mendez is surprised that Kirk does not know the news about Captain Pike and leads them to the medical section, explaining that, during an inspection tour of a cadet vessel, one of the baffle plates ruptured. Kirk insists that Spock received the urgent request from the former commander of the Enterprise, Fleet Captain Pike. McCoy beam down, they are puzzled when Crewman Piper, assistant to the base's commander, Commodore José Mendez, tells Kirk the base sent no such message. The USS Enterprise arrives at Starbase 11 after a subspace message asks it to divert there.
