Stardate 7403.6: Commander Ari Ben Bem, a native of an advanced planet which the Federation hopes will soon join its ranks, accompanies the Enterprise crew for several months, though he has spent virtually all of that time in seclusion. However, when the opportunity to beam down to the newly-charted planet Delta Theta III presents itself, Bem all but takes charge of the landing party (much to Kirk’s annoyance). Delta Theta III turns out to be inhabited, and Bem quickly puts the Enterprise officers in harm’s way. When Kirk and Spock try to escape and take Bem back with them, they discover that they’re not the only intelligent beings who are interfering the the planet’s life forms.

Stardate 5275.6: The Enterprise arrives at Dramia with a precious cargo of badly-needed medical supplies, but the locals want something else as well – the unconditional surrender of Dr. Leonard McCoy, renowned throughout their solar system as a mass-murderer. McCoy is stunned to learn that a previous visit to neighboring Dramia II, to innoculate its entire population against a plague nearly two decades before, resulted in most of that planet’s inhabitants dying of a subsequent plague. One of the few survivors of Dramia II steps forward in McCoy’s defense, but as the Enterprise carries him back to Dramia to testify for the doctor, the crew contracts the same plague – with the sole exception of Spock. Spock releases McCoy from his prison on Dramia with only one goal – to stop the plague once and for all.

Stardate 6063.4: Kirk and his crew are trying to pinpoint the origin of a vessel which recently scanned Earth’s solar system and then transmitted its finds toward unknown coordinates with a very powerful signal. But before the crew even expects to find an answer to this puzzle, an unidentified ship approaches, trapping the Enterprise in an energy field and kidnapping four officers including Kirk. The being aboard the vessel claims to be Kulkukan, a godlike creature from ancient Aztec legend – and at the moment, a rather angry one, since no one on Earth has worshipped him in many centuries. The creature challenges Kirk and the others to a test of logic. The prize if the humans win is the gift of Kulkukan’s boundless knowledge – and if they lose, the punishment is death for the entire crew of the Enterprise.
