After receiving a distress call from an unexplored planet, Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise have rescued a Tholian child, the lone survivor of a massacre. So far, this rescue has already led into a direct confrontation with a Tholian dreadnought and its devastating stasis weapon. Thanks to some quick thinking, the Enterprise crew seems to have left the Tholians behind, but with the child survivor still aboard and unable to communicate with the rest of the ship, this surely won’t be the last spot of trouble Captain Kirk runs into on his way back to Earth…
