However the show where Kirk and others are affected by some mysterious disease. (I don't remember the title) They become old and Kirk loses his ability to command. I seem to remember that the romulans had broken code 2. When Bones finally finds the cure the enterprise is surrounded by Romulans. I do Believe Kirk sends starfleet a message, using code 2, saying that he is in a hopeless situation and he is going to self destruct using some new device which will destroy any thing within a particular range leaving that area of space unuseable for some odd number of years. When the Romulans back off they give Kirk enough room to warp away to safety. Once again I apologize if I'm wrong and this device is not the corbomite device. This however was the solution I was proposing. By the way, What was this self destructing mechanism.
