V'Ger must evolve. Its knowledge has reached the limits of this universe, and it must evolve. What it requires of its god, Doctor, is the answer to its question -- Is there nothing more?

What more is there than the universe, Spock?

And joining with its creator might accomplish that.

You mean this machine wants to physically join with a human? Is that possible?

Let's find out.
