Stardate 5499.9: In the course of studying an aquatic world whose land masses have completely submerged, Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Lt. Clayton take an aquashuttle to pay the planet a visit. Their expedition is cut short by an attacking sea creature, which traps Kirk and Spock in the sinking shuttle while McCoy and Clayton escape. Five days pass before search parties locate the Enterprise’s captain and first officer, and a shocking physical transformation has taken place in that time – Kirk and Spock can no longer breathe air, and will be confined underwater for the rest of their lives unless the cause of their sudden physical changes can be determined and reversed.
