The U.S.S. Enterprise leaves the dock and sets the course to intercept the Intruder. While trying to gain Warp 1 speed (thus going into hyperspace), Enterprise loses its engines. The hyperspace wormhole, due to inaccurate warp drive tuning, becomes unstable and draws a large asteroid inside itself, sending it on a collision course with the space cruiser.
Kirk orders phaser weapons, the most destructive ones on the Enterprise, to be fired at the asteroid but Decker overrides his order by telling Chekov, the weaponry coordinator, to use missiles. After smashing the asteroid with missiles the ship succesfully leaves hyperspace. Decker, when asked about why he did not follow the captain's orders, explains to Kirk that the weapon systems have been rerouted through the engines to increase power output and thus went offline during the accident.
