From Star Trek, season 1, episode 23, &quot;A Taste of Armageddon&quot;:<p>ANAN: It&#x27;s a vicious attack, extremely destructive. Fortunately, our defences are firming, but our casualties are high. Very high.<p>KIRK: Sir, I have been in contact with my ship, which has had this entire planet under surveillance. All during this so-called attack of yours, we have been monitoring you. There&#x27;s been no attack, no explosions, no radiations, no disturbances whatsoever. If this is some sort of game you&#x27;re playing...<p>ANAN: This is no game, Captain. Half a million people have just been killed. Activate the attack units, Sar.<p>SAR: Yes, Councilman.<p>ANAN: Launch immediate counter attack.<p>SPOCK: Computers, Captain. They fight their war with computers. Totally.<p>ANAN: Yes, of course.<p>KIRK: Computer don&#x27;t kill a half million people.<p>ANAN: Deaths have been registered. Of course they have twenty four hours to report.<p>KIRK: To report?<p>ANAN: To our disintegration machines. You must understand, Captain, we have been at war for five hundred years. Under ordinary conditions, no civilisation could withstand that. But we have reached a solution.<p>SPOCK: Then the attack by Vendikar was theoretical.<p>ANAN: Oh, no, quite real. An attack is mathematically launched. I lost my wife in the last attack. Our civilisation lives. The people die, but our culture goes on.<p>KIRK: You mean to tell me your people just walk into a disintegration machine when they&#x27;re told to?<p>ANAN: We have a high consciousness of duty, Captain.<p>SPOCK: There is a certain scientific logic about it.<p>ANAN: I&#x27;m glad you approve.<p>SPOCK: I do not approve. I understand.<p>ANAN: Good. Then you will recall I warned you not to come here. You chose to ignore my warning. I&#x27;m sorry, but it&#x27;s happened.<p>KIRK: What has happened?<p>ANAN: Once your ship was in orbit about our planet, it became a legitimate target. It has been classified destroyed by a tricobalt satellite explosion. All persons aboard your ship have twenty four hours to report to our disintegration machines. In order to ensure their co-operation, I have ordered you, Captain, and your party held in custody until they surrender. If possible, we shall spare your ship, Captain, but its passengers and crew are already dead.
