Stardate 5554.4: A visit to a previously uncharted planet reveals an advanced laboratory, and a race of mobile plant life, the Phylosians. These beings prove to be friendly enough when they cure Sulu of the effects of a local poison. But when an a flock of airborne creatures aid in the abduction of Spock, a seemingly giant human being appears, claiming to be the long-lost Dr. Keniclius – a geneticist who was banished for his attempts to create a master race during the disastrous Eugenics Wars. Keniclius claims that he needs Spock to create a clone-army of beings to “enforce” peace upon the entire galaxy – but after seeing that the Phylosians have a hangar full of spacecraft, Kirk is suspicious of Keniclius’ goals.
