The Genesis Device an overview
'The Genesis Device was designed and built by Doctors Carol and David Marcus on the Regula one station during the TOS film era. It was a small cylindrical torpedo that was designed to rapidly terraform planets. Although the actual elapsed time is unknown, the Genesis Device is known to work fairly quickly- various scene-changes complicate the process of estimating elapsed time during ST2, but the duration could not have been more than an hour or so.
It uses proto-matter to transform matter at the subatomic level. The device is most likely based on a combination of localized time-compression and a large-scale application of transporter technology. Using this combination of technology, the Genesis Device can rapidly terraform planets into any desired configuration. The ability to gather a planetary mass from the matter in a diffuse nebula is also a ability of this device.
The device detonated in the Mutara Nebula (located in the Regula system, just beyond the orbit of the planet which supported the Regula One space station, reachable within 5 minutes at sublight velocities). It gathered a planetary mass from the nebula, and accelerated the gravitic process of collapse so that the matter quickly collapsed into a planetary configuration.
This may have been an inverse time-dilation effect, which locally accelerated time to facilitate the planetary collapse (this may have been part of the original Genesis Device design, to speed up what might otherwise have been a long slow transformation process).
Its ability to collect nebular matter into a planetary configuration would therefore be an unexpected but welcome side-effect of this feature. It has been claimed by Federation cultists that the Genesis Device required hyper nova-level energy to collapse the planet, but this is simply not so.
Suffice it to say that the collapse of a nebula into a planetary mass represents a net gravitational potential energy loss, rather than an energy gain. Therefore, no energy is required from the Genesis Device and its energy requirement is zero.
To use an analogy, what is the energy requirement for freezing water into ice? There is, of course, no energy required to freeze water since ice has a lower thermal energy state than liquid water. Similarly, there is no energy requirement for collapsing a nebula into a planet because the planet has a lower gravitational potential energy than the nebula. Federation cultists claim that because the process occured in an unnaturally short time-frame, millions of supernovae worth of energy were required.
The Genesis Device is a fascinating piece of technology which is able to rapidly terraform planets with little or no energy requirement. However, it will probably have no effect on a shielded ship or planet; the time- compressed gravitic collapse was only seen once, and it was only used on an unshielded natural phenomenon (the Mutara Nebula).
The Genesis Device has no significant military applications against planets. However, it would be a devastating strategic weapon in Federation space since they do not possess our planetary shielding technology. Acquisition of the Genesis Device would be useful to us primarily for economic reasons: although the Old Republic terraformed at least five planets to duplicate the configurations of other planets during its reign, it was a very expensive process.
The Genesis Device would potentially make this process much more quick and economical, but there are three problems:
The technology may be "lost". The only prototype was destroyed, the design data was wiped from the Regula One space station's computers, only two scientists survived from the entire research team, one of those survivors was killed shortly afterwards, and the only information known to be in Federation hands is a useless briefing video.
The Genesis Device didn't work. It created a planet but the planet was highly unstable and quickly became uninhabitable. Scientists are unsure as to whether we would be able to solve these problems once we had possession of the technology.
Thus ending the info about the Genesis project.'

"This is nuts." The blond/grey captain stalked back and forth closely watched by his friends.
"Four months. Nothing. Not one message answered, not one sign of life. No nothing." McCoy sighed.
"Jim, Sulu is watching out for her, Uhura, who by the way is chief Intel. I am watching, Spock is looking, Sarek waits for reply and you have pulled every string you could." Kirk glanced at his friends.
"I know. But where is she...why would she not respond.Spock already told me that she did not skip to make sure her Pon Farr was the reason."
"Captain. I do have news." Spock entered the living room in his ambassadorial robe. "Which is?" Spock walked to an console and activated the com. "Observe." On the screen a ship logo appeared. The Grissom. But how was Starfleet able to retrieve that information.
"You will now look at images between Saavik and doctor David Marcus." Kirk looked up. His dead son? Interesting.
What they saw were dinners, gatherings in the recreation room, training even scenes that were taken in science labs. Ending in various visits of either David in Saavik's quarters at night or vice versa. Only appearing in the early hours of the day.
"And this.computer hold.is the most fascinating scene of all. Observe." All did. All being Uhura, McCoy, Spock, Scott, the chief engineer and Kirk. They saw a picture of David and Saavik really close to each other in a corridor, Saavik in uniform, David in his own outfit. "We even have audio." Spock tapped a button and soft whispers came to their ears.
-When will we tell.- Saavik's soft voice echoed. -Soon, not yet. Will my father be surprised.- -Indeed he will.- They stopped for a moment letting a crew member pass. -I do not wish to prolong this David.- -I know T'Hyla..- all saw fingers touching the other.
"Computer freeze image." Kirk looked up.
"Spock I feel like a voyeur." Spock gazed at him and shrugged.
"You wished to know what she was doing. At the time of this recording I was not alive. This was new for me as well."
"Fine, what is your conclusion then." Spock went mute. He gazed at his life friend, to McCoy, Scott and Uhura. All glued to his conclusion.
"They were bonded.mated.husband and wife." He spoke softly as Kirk almost tumbled off his chair, Uhura gasped, McCoy snickered, Scott mentioning that the lass chose well.
"WHAT? David married Saavik? But when!!!" Kirk almost yelled as Spock stood calmly.
"Approximately three weeks before he was killed. Scenes indicate that they were together from the night of my wake." A hint of humour in his voice. "We also have attained the recording of the captain of the Grissom that he married them."
"Right.I did encounter them when I was walking about but." Kirk picked himself up again and thought about it.
"So, married.he was murdered.then the refusion.oh my." Uhura became pale.
"Mr Spock, is Saavik a touch telepath as well?" Spock gazed calmly at her.
"She is a half Vulcan/Romulan.yes. She can." Kirk clasped his hands.
"Spock. If bonded couples loose their mate.they can go pretty erratic right?"
"Indeed, however, Saavik has not been bonded long but if the bond was deep enough she would grief just as much as if you were married for years." Kirk sighed. Damn.
"That means that she can go run away, slowly killing herself and we don't know where she is."
"Agreed. My father has informed with the spaceport authorities if they had any knowledge. Observe."
A second tape was inserted, a busy spaceport with ships and people of al races walking about. Suddenly the camera's zoomed in and the frame was corrected to give a sharp image. It was Saavik.
"Saavik left a day after I did. With her, several crates, contents unknown. She bought a vessel. The 'Endeavour' took of and went into space. Designation unknown." Spock turned the computer off.
"There is no logical way to determine where she is. Trying to locate one who obvious does not wish to be found is very difficult." All slumped. True.
"Suggestions anybody?" Kirk stated as the news kicked in. No one replied.
"I will keep my ears and eyes open. All I can do." Uhura stated. "I will do the same and gallop around. Maybe some ship will see hers." McCoy replied. "Aye.I will enlist shortly on a star ship again. possibly more scanning range." Scott concluded.
"Good. I will keep taps on Sulu and you Spock?" "I shall try and find information through diplomatic sources."
All rose as they prepared to go home. Spock seemed pre-occupied with these new revelations. Kirk stood before him.
"Missing her already aren't you." "Missing her is a emotion Jim. I am curious to where she is and add to that that I see her as a daughter. I am concerned." And after saying their goodbye's all went their own way.
***
I am here for three months now. Alone but still not alone. The frame is done now. Same design as David did. I am not fatigued but restless. In the morning I will wash, find fruit, walk around and at 8 AM I start my work. Designing new parts, figuring out what to do next. Actually quite a logical process. All parts belong to other more delicate ones. Amazing that my late mate did this. With help.yes. But despite the fact that I am here alone, I still do not wish to be alone. I have been wondering about one part in particular. The part of which cost many their life. The proto-matter part. How figure the Matter in the device. And despite my longing for companionship, I feel fine. Refreshed.for the first time in a very long time. If ever. And a happy mother-to-be.
David scolded me lightly. Saying that it was useless and that I should return to Starfleet. Fact was.he was dead. I am not. I rub my stomach lightly. It does not expand yet but it is very sensitive.I do not bother warring shoes no more. They hurt my feet.
Every now and then I take a piece of the machine and stroll to the genesis cave. There I sit on the grass looking around and wondering how to fix the problem of the moment. I miss my friends and wonder if they miss me already. Probably not. I mean, what kind of role did I had.none.I just , how did humans call it? Tagged along. The one that would miss me is Spock. He probably has send me many messages. Should I bother reading them? Yes. I take the apple that I was eating and leave the soft meadow grass, the soil tickling my feet. I skip happily as a small child. Unbound by rules of anybody. Here I make my own.
I walked to a secure room with probably the only computer with which I can contact the outer rims of my private prison. I tap in the symbols and wait. Ah.linked.entering my personal codes.easy.AH.loaded.oh dear.
"Let's see.Spock, Sarek, Uhura, Sulu, Amanda, Mr. Scott, Kirk.McCoy.Spock again.like the rest.Starfleet command.admiral Cartwright, Checov.wow. Popular when missed.computer, select all messages except those of Spock and delete the rest." I heard the computer hum and make a confirmation. There. Fifty messages collected over three months, three weeks and two days. Gone.
"Computer, play message one of Spock." I sat back, knowing what he would ask. 'Where are you? you don't respond to my messages, contact me.' and I as haven't even finished my last sentence his face turns to mine and says exactly what I thought.
"Message number two." This went on until message 10. Curious to know what he would say next I decided to put my feet on the desk. A nasty habit but there was nobody who would scowl at me for doing so.
-Saavik-am. It has been three months, two weeks ago that I heard from you since. I know your bond to doctor Marcus, and grief with your loss. I however do not have the knowledge of your present location. If you read this, and do not wish to be detected, use my personal codes. You know them well. I just wish to know that you are well. Live long Saavik-am. Spock out.-
Well, well.hmm.so we were not careful enough my mate.figured that Spock would know first. And considering all the messages, the team of The Enterprise would be looking for me.ah.well. Could not be harmful to say I am still well.like.alive. I tap in different codes. Codes that humans would not understand. Too complicated to be detected. I knew Spock used them a lot. Mainly for secret operations and just to make Uhura pull the hair out of her head to make a new program to break them.
I straighten my brown hair and pull my feet down. My jacket hangs over my chair as I realise something. I rise, make sure the computer is aiming for a blank wall and sit down again. What is the use to show the genesis cave. Might as well make a chat to Uhura while a ship is heading my way. I think about what I will say and push the record.
"Spock.peace and long life. Thank you for your concern but it is unfounded. I am, as you see, well. I am in good health and no illness has come over me since my departure.
I am aware of your search for me but I have to request that you stop. You will not find me. I have still unfinished business to fulfil and actually do not appreciate any assistance.
Do not try to locate the 'Endeavour' I destroyed it. I am save and unharmed. I need time alone in contemplation and to work on something that is not even close to completion, I herby resign from Starfleet.
Tell my best wishes to the captain and all that have tried to contact me, bring my regards to Lady Amanda and Sarek, my apologies for not contacting her sooner.
However I did warn her that I would not... Live long and prosper Spock. I will not respond to messages any longer. This is the first and the last. Saavik out."
There. Kind, nice, logical. Short and clear as day. I send it with a giant loop from all the planets I recall and sit back again. Now were are those schematics again.
A very annoying habit I have.mainly not cleaning when I should. I glance around the room filled with papers. David instructing me in dreams now a days. When I wake I have to make sketches or I forget. Problem with that is that I work better on a computer then write and scribble. I only learned to read and write when I was about 13.sigh.David was amused. I however not. Grabbing a stack I decide to be a as a Vulcan meant to be. I place the papers on the desk and grab a writing case. Happy day. Thanks David for saving them here.
After a few hours of sorting I have a kind of library. Oh I can be very precise when wished or demanded. But when being busy with this project it was very important to do so.
I clean the room and place the books back in the shelves. There. Call it a spring cleaning. On the back of the writing cases I write their index. There. When needed I could grab something immediately.
***
Spock glanced curious at the report of the incoming message. He activated it. Would it be audio only? No.visual as well.
-Spock.peace and long life.
Thank you for your concern but it is unfounded. I am, as you see, well. I am in good health and no illness has come over me since my departure.
I am aware of your search for me but I have to request that you stop. You will not find me. I have still unfinished business to fulfil and actually do not appreciate any assistance.

However I did warn her that I would not... Live long and prosper Spock. I will not respond to messages any longer. This is the first and the last. Saavik out-
Clear as day. She eloped. Fascinating. Why did she not mention his discovery of bonding.contemplation.illogical for her to do so in an obvious unknown place. A very standard wall. But she did miss a very vague reflection of the desk.
Would he? Or would he respect the wishes of his protégé.for the time being he would respect her wishes. She really did good on hiding her whereabouts. No trace to where the message came from. So she destroyed her vessel.is in health.obviously working on a project. She did not look tired. On the contrary. Very refreshed and fit.and eating a apple.
His mother was warned that she would not contact.so she was the last person with whom she spoke to. There is no background noise.no people.blank wall.refreshed.occupied.hmm.He rose as he copied the message on a disk and decided to inform his old friend. He would be very pleased.
***
"What the hell is that supposed to mean." Kirk spat as he glared at the calm voice of his old friend. Stalking back and forth with a book in one hand and his glasses in the other. Sometimes glaring at the calm face of Spock. -She obviously does not wish interference and sends you her regards.-
"Right, taken.so? I send her fifteen messages. Only recently I received a message that it has not been read but deleted, not one.all." He saw that Spock raised an eyebrow.
-For her to answer all messages would be illogical Jim. One is more then sufficient. It's logical that she would send it to me.- Kirk glared at his old friend, and sat down instead of pacing about.
"How so.because you are her mentor?" -No, I practically raised her. And my files are highly secured.-
"Right.so.no interference and with other words, 'Back off, no help wanted, can take care of myself.git'?" -That would be a very Terran way of putting it.Yes.-
"Okay.I'll be damned if I do that.I wanne have a chat with her. Bonded with my son and clamping up.keeping it quiet." -She will not respond anymore. And knowing Saavik, she usually keeps her word.-
"I understand.still I will try. Will you?" -No, I respect my protégé Jim. She is very determent on something and if she is done she will contact again. She has no choice.-
"Hmm? Explain.." -She blew up her ship, add to that she resigned.-
"WHAT?" -Like I said, she destroyed her vessel and will be in need to go away from wherever she is now, and what ever she is doing will take longer then she anticipated. She resigned.- Frustrated Kirk slammed the book.
"Send me the message. Knowing you, you copied it." He saw the Vulcan nod and place a disk in the computer. -Sending it now.- a sudden bleep was heard as the computer in Kirk's living room signalled the transfer.
"Thanks Spock. Anything else to share?" -No, we will speak soon.- Spock raised his hand in the Vulcan salute as Kirk copied it.
-Peace and long life Jim.- "Yeah, live long and prosper Spock.send your mother my best wishes."
-I will.Spock out.- the screen went blank. "Yeah.okay.let's see." He played the message and was more frustrated then when Spock informed him of it. Absolutely no trace...nothing.no a view, not a sun, not a bit of soil. Some equipment, yes.a book shelve.but that was all. The captain of the Enterprise was mad like a hornet. He who had been able to locate everybody.solve problems that the rest of the galaxy could not.was unable to find one lieutenant who didn't want to be found.

I am aware of your search for me but I have to request that you stop. You will not find me. I have still unfinished business to fulfil and actually do not appreciate any assistance.
Do not try to locate the 'Endeavour' I destroyed it. I am save and unharmed. I need time alone in contemplation and to work on something that is not even close to completion, I herby resign from Starfleet.
Tell my best wishes to the captain and all that have tried to contact me, bring my regards to Lady Amanda and Sarek, my apologies for not contacting her sooner.
However I did warn her that I would not... Live long and prosper Spock. I will not respond to messages any longer. This is the first and the last. Saavik out-
Clear as day. She eloped. Fascinating. Why did she not mention his discovery of bonding.contemplation.illogical for her to do so in an obvious unknown place. A very standard wall. But she did miss a very vague reflection of the desk.
Would he? Or would he respect the wishes of his protégé.for the time being he would respect her wishes. She really did good on hiding her whereabouts. No trace to where the message came from. So she destroyed her vessel.is in health.obviously working on a project. She did not look tired. On the contrary. Very refreshed and fit.and eating a apple.
His mother was warned that she would not contact.so she was the last person with whom she spoke to. There is no background noise.no people.blank wall.refreshed.occupied.hmm.He rose as he copied the message on a disk and decided to inform his old friend. He would be very pleased.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean." Kirk spat as he glared at the calm voice of his old friend. Stalking back and forth with a book in one hand and his glasses in the other. Sometimes glaring at the calm face of Spock. -She obviously does not wish interference and sends you her regards.-
"Right, taken.so? I send her fifteen messages. Only recently I received a message that it has not been read but deleted, not one.all." He saw that Spock raised an eyebrow.
-For her to answer all messages would be illogical Jim. One is more then sufficient. It's logical that she would send it to me.- Kirk glared at his old friend, and sat down instead of pacing about.
"How so.because you are her mentor?" -No, I practically raised her. And my files are highly secured.-
"Right.so.no interference and with other words, 'Back off, no help wanted, can take care of myself.git'?" -That would be a very Terran way of putting it.Yes.-
"Okay.I'll be damned if I do that.I wanne have a chat with her. Bonded with my son and clamping up.keeping it quiet." -She will not respond anymore. And knowing Saavik, she usually keeps her word.-
"I understand.still I will try. Will you?" -No, I respect my protégé Jim. She is very determent on something and if she is done she will contact again. She has no choice.-
"Hmm? Explain.." -She blew up her ship, add to that she resigned.-
"WHAT?" -Like I said, she destroyed her vessel and will be in need to go away from wherever she is now, and what ever she is doing will take longer then she anticipated. She resigned.- Frustrated Kirk slammed the book.
"Send me the message. Knowing you, you copied it." He saw the Vulcan nod and place a disk in the computer. -Sending it now.- a sudden bleep was heard as the computer in Kirk's living room signalled the transfer.
"Thanks Spock. Anything else to share?" -No, we will speak soon.- Spock raised his hand in the Vulcan salute as Kirk copied it.
-Peace and long life Jim.- "Yeah, live long and prosper Spock.send your mother my best wishes."
-I will.Spock out.- the screen went blank. "Yeah.okay.let's see." He played the message and was more frustrated then when Spock informed him of it. Absolutely no trace...nothing.no a view, not a sun, not a bit of soil. Some equipment, yes.a book shelve.but that was all. The captain of the Enterprise was mad like a hornet. He who had been able to locate everybody.solve problems that the rest of the galaxy could not.was unable to find one lieutenant who didn't want to be found.
