Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
(from internet transcript)
CHEKOV: Sir! Airlock four has been opened. A thruster suit is reported missing!
KIRK: A thruster suit? That's Spock! Damn him! Bring him back here. ...No wait, ...get a fix on his position.
CHEKOV: Aye sir.
[Outside Enterprise]
(Spock fires the thruster suit and successfully passes through the opening orifice)
SPOCK: I have successfully penetrated the next chamber of the alien's Interior, and I am witnessing some sort of dimensional image which I believe to be a representation of V'Ger's home planet. I am passing through a connecting tunnel. Apparently a kind of plasma-energy conduit. Possibly a field coil for gigantic imaging systems. Curious. I am seeing images of planets, moons, stars, whole galaxies all stored in here, recorded. It could be a record of V'Ger's entire journey. But who, or what, are we dealing with? The Epsilon Nine station, stored here with every detail. Captain, I am now quite convinced that all of this is V'Ger. That we are inside a living machine. Ilia. The sensor ...must contain some special meaning. I must try to mind-meld with it. Aaaaarhh.
(Spock reappears outside the Enterprise, Kirk in a spacesuit retrieves him)
KIRK: Spock? ...Spock?
[Enterprise sickbay]
CHAPEL: Now scanning pons area. Spinal nerve fiber connection.
McCOY: Indications of some neurological trauma. The power pouring through that mind-meld must have been staggering.
SPOCK: Jim, ...I should have known.
KIRK: Were you right? About V'Ger?

I wrote once somewhere long ago that anything never alive can not ever be considered as 'dead'
And our paths in the world diverged so wide,
Each was nought to each, must I be told?
We were fellow mortals, nought beside?
- Robert Browning
excerpts, by me, Kerry Burgess, August 23, 2013
As it turned out I chose the route that was just about the shortest possible route to walk back to the only point – in a direction getting me away from St. Francis as quickly as possible – within miles that was the only place I recognized from previous experience.
Sometime months before I was taken to St. Francis I had been out driving around in my Jeep and I stopped at a place for lunch and I recently looked that up on the map and I see in the image it is named Monster Burger. I remember that because they had very good hamburgers there.
Well, that is precisely the point I walked to.
