Nero has silently accepted a brutal existence in Rura Penthe, the object of his guard's gambling
habits, routine and pointless interrogations, drugs, a personal revelation, and along with his
crew, mining enough to turn a profit for his captors. Nevertheless, he hasn't forgotten what he
wants most, Spock. Another prisoner, a human stellar cartographer, offers to help with Nero's
little physics problem. Given access to data about Narada and the black hole, the human is
certain that Spock hasn't arrived through the black hole yet. The ship, still in orbit above
Rura Penthe, hasn't yielded its secrets to the Klingons. Narada powers up on its own, attacks
the prison, giving Nero and his crew the opportunity to escape. Back aboard his ship, Nero
discovers that Narada has more secrets.

Spock's ship, with its dangerous cargo of red matter, is pulled aboard the Narada. Nero doesn't
waste any time letting Spock know how long he's been waiting for him, nor is he gentle about it.
He's still furious with Spock, but wants him rested and wide awake when they arrive at Vulcan.
Spock is pensive. His lifelong friends are alive again and now they will suffer because of his
mistake. After a brief and violent interlude with a Klingon task force led by Koth, the Narada
arrives at Delta Vega, whose unique orbit will give Spock a perfect view of Vulcan. Nero says
goodbye to Spock. Romulans donŐt have sayings like live long and prosper.
