I am now remembering the sound that was made when the person was turned into the cube. Wasn't the cube what was suppose to be left after all water was removed from the persons body? Why do I remember this ? I was born after Star Trek was canceled! (Still loved it!) I blame this on my brother, we had to watch every episode 20x!
Wasn't the cube what was suppose to be left after all water was removed from the persons body?I don't think so. It was more abstract. Something about encoding all their thoughts and personality, etc.
OK. here it is:
"This is the essence of what they were. The flesh and brain and what you call the personality, distilled down into these compact shapes."
( I can never get over being able to find all this kind of stuff on the internet. )
