In 2273, at least three log entries were made on the Captain's log for the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). They were all concerning the V'Ger incident and were recorded by Rear Admiral James T. Kirk who had taken command. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
Entries
- "Captain's log, stardate 7412.6, 1.8 hours from launch. In order to intercept the intruder at the earliest possible time, we must now risk engaging warp drive while still within the solar system."
- "Captain's log, stardate 7413.4. Thanks to Mr. Spock's timely arrival and assistance, we have the engines re-balanced into full warp capacity. Repair time less then three hours. Which means we will now be able to intercept intruder while still more than a day from Earth."
- "Captain's log, stardate 7414.1. Our best estimates place us some four hours from Earth. No significant progress thus far reviving Ilia memory patterns within the alien probe. This remains our only means of contact with our captor."
