KIRK:
Captain's log, stardate 5725.3.

The Enterprise is
en route to Memory Alpha,

a planetoid set up by the Federation
solely as a central library

containing the cultural history

and scientific knowledge
of all Federation members.

With us is
specialist Lieutenant Mira Romaine.

She is on board to supervise
the transfer of new equipment

directly from the Enterprise
to Memory Alpha.

You're the sanest, the smartest,

the nicest woman
that has ever come aboard this ship.

Anything else?

Anything else I'll...
I'll keep to myself for the moment.

KIRK: When a man of
Scotty's years falls in love,

the loneliness of his life
is suddenly revealed to him.

His whole heart once throbbed
only to the ship's engines.

He could talk only to the ship.

Now he can see nothing
but the woman.

I didn't think Mr. Scott
would go for the brainy type.

I don't think he's noticed
she has a brain.

Mr. Scott.

Mr. Scott?

Mm?

As soon as we're within viewing range,

you and Lieutenant Romaine
will go to your positions.

You will prepare for transfer
of the equipment.

- Aye, Captain.
- We're ready, sir.

May I offer my congratulations on your
first assignment for the Federation.

- Good luck, Lieutenant.
- Thank you.

I'm picking up a high-intensity reading.

- Is that Memory Alpha?
- No, sir.

Excuse me.

Magnification 8.

- What is that?
- Indications are a storm.

Although I have never seen one
of such great intensity

or strange conformation.

- Readings?
- Sensors are at maximum calibration.

Captain, it's approaching at
warp factor 2.6 and accelerating.

Check that.

No natural phenomenon can move
faster than the speed of light.

It is definitely doing so, therefore
it cannot be a phenomenon of nature.

- Deflectors on. Condition Yellow.
- Shields activated, Captain.

KIRK:
Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages
of the starship Enterprise.

Its five-year mission:
To explore strange new worlds,

to seek out new life
and new civilizations,

to boldly go where no man
has gone before.

Mr. Sulu, get us the devil out of here!

Scan the disturbance
that penetrated the bridge.

All decks, stand at report.

Mira!

- KIRK: Dr. McCoy, emergency.
- Mira!

[GURGLES]

What's that you're saying?

Was she hurt by the fall
or the action of the disturbance?

I don't know. Did you notice, Scotty?

After the disturbance was over,
she just collapsed.

How's she doing, Doctor?

I think she's coming round now.

Easy, now. You had quite a fall.

I'm... I'm fine.

Let me judge that.
Feel like walking to Sickbay?

I'm fine, Doctor. Really, I am.

- Is everybody else all right?
- Aye. Do what Dr. McCoy ordered.

- Why? I feel...
- Get to Sickbay. That's an order.

- Yes, sir.
- Is it all right if I go to Sickbay?

No. Stay at your post for the moment.
Lieutenant, damage report?

- All stations are operative.
- Mr. Spock?

Some equipment was out of order.
My sensors were inoperative.

- Any damage to the warp engines?
- None.

Good. From the action of that storm,
we'll need all the speed we can get.

Captain, it was not a storm.

Captain, during the disturbance,
Memory Alpha was hailing.

I wanted to respond,
but I couldn't make my hand move.

CEHKOV:
Captain.

It was not hands that were paralyzed.
It was eyes.

I could not look down
and set a new course.

It was speech that was affected.
I couldn't utter a sound.

Mr. Spock. Explanation?

Only of the result, not of the cause.

In each case, a different area
of the brain was affected.

Our voluntary nerve functions
were under some form of pressure.

Or attack.

Attack might be
a more precise formulation, Captain.

And Lieutenant Romaine
seems most susceptible.

- Are the readings corresponding?
- Everything appears normal.

Thank you.

- What's that you're doing?
- Recording your responses.

I haven't had a response worth noting.

- Lieutenant, please.
- Well, have I?

There are 430 people aboard this ship.

You're the only one that passed out
and I want to know why.

I want to know why, too.
You're the doctor. You tell me.

- This is a new experience for me.
- It is a new experience for all of us.

All of you are accustomed to new
experiences. It's part of your work.

I'm not.

She might have something there.

The first deep space
trip affects people.

If we can get on with this,
we might make that determination.

Now, then, tell me. What did you feel
before you passed out?

- Nothing.
- Nothing?

Absolutely nothing.

- Lieutenant...
- There is nothing more I can tell you.

- You're being uncooperative.
- Will you put that in my record?

I'll put the facts into your record
if I can get them.

Come on, now, Mira. We must help
the doctor. Tell us what happened.

Perhaps you can explain that
any career she hopes for in Starfleet

requires discipline and cooperation.

I'm sure that's what the lieutenant
wants. She just didn't understand.

Did you, now, lass?

With a bedside manner like that,
Scotty, you're in the wrong business.

When the record is forwarded,
I'll be sent back.

You will not. That's ridiculous.

Getting used to space travel takes
some doing. Not everybody takes to it.

- Did you?
- Well, me, that's different.

I was practically born to it.

- I want to continue.
- You will.

You passed your
Starfleet preliminary examinations.

And this is just getting used to what
you might call your space legs.

I hope that's all it is.

Captain, I've plotted the storm's path.

Main screen projection.

On its present course,
it will hit Memory Alpha as it did us.

Lieutenant, warn Memory Alpha
of the proximity of that phenomenon.

- Give me an ETA for its impact.
- I cannot.

It has the ability to change speed.

I'm unable to establish contact.

I'm hailing on all frequencies.
No response.

It is of little consequence.
Memory Alpha has no shields.

- No shields?
- None.

When it was assembled,

shielding was considered
inappropriate to its purpose.

Since the information
is freely available,

special protection
was deemed unnecessary.

Wonderful. I hope the storm
is aware of that rationale.

- Completing approach to planetoid.
- It is over Memory Alpha.

Its speed is incredible.
It's hitting the planetoid.

- Are we within orbit range?
- Making final approach.

- Lieutenant, try and warn...
- I can't break through the interference.

Mr. Spock, how many people
are on Memory Alpha?

It varies with the number
of scholars and scientists

who are using the computer complex.

CHEKOV: Captain,
we are within orbit range.

- Lock into orbit.
- SULU: It is leaving Memory Alpha.

Sensors give no readings of
generated energy from Memory Alpha.

- Any life readings?
- None.

Let's find out
what's going on down there.

Kirk to engineering. Mr. Scott, report.

Kirk to engineering. Mr. Scott?
Where the devil is he?

Scotty, report to the bridge.

Transporter room, stand by.
I'm taking a landing party down.

Scott here.

Scotty, where are you?

- In the Sickbay.
- Are you sick?

No. I was checking on the lass.

She's going to be fine.
Nothing wrong with her.

I'm relieved to hear your prognosis.

Is the doctor there with you
or will I find him in engineering?

- McCoy here, Jim.
- How's the girl?

- I think she's in good shape.
- Mr. Scott seems to agree with you.

The two of you, meet me in
the transporter room on the double.

KIRK: Captain's log, supplemental,
stardate, 5725.6.

The storm has cleared Memory Alpha.
It is heading away at incredible speed.

We have been unable to make contact
with the planetoid.

Its silence is ominous.
We are beaming down to investigate.

I find transporting
into darkness unnerving.

Scotty, can you
get us some more light?

I'm afraid this light will have to do.
The generator is inoperative.

- Damage report.
- Disaster for the galaxy.

The central brain is damaged. The loss
to the galaxy may be irretrievable.

Captain!

A very faint life reading in the vicinity.

Locate him. We need more
information about this enemy.

Over here, Captain!

[GROWLS]

- Bones, can you do something?
- Not a thing, Jim.

The same sounds Lieutenant Romaine
made when she fainted.

- Are you sure?
- Absolutely sure.

Kirk to Enterprise. Beam down
Lieutenant Romaine immediately.

Spock, have you ever seen
anything like that before?

Negative.

- Bones?
- She's dead.

- What did she die of?
- Severe brain hemorrhaging.

Distortion of neural systems.

Dissolution of autonomic
nervous system.

All basic personality factors.

- The attack was thorough.
- What did the others die of?

Each had a different center
of brain destroyed.

A different center of the brain, you say.

Yes, Captain. I can be more detailed
when we return to the ship.

The captain has some questions.

When you were unconscious
you were speaking.

- What did I say?
- The words were unfamiliar to me.

- What did it sound like?
- Like the technician's last words.

- What technician?
- We found one person barely alive.

- The rest were dead and we...
- Lieutenant.

- Lieutenant?
- We must get back to the ship.

- Why? Tell me, why?
- That storm, it's returning.

- How do you know?
- I know. You'll be killed if we stay.

That unexplained phenomenon
was headed away from the planet.

- It is probably seeking other victims.
- It will kill us.

- Enterprise to Captain Kirk.
- Kirk here.

The storm has reappeared on
the scanner and is closing fast.

- What's its course?
- Coming back in this direction.

Beam us up.

Mr. Sulu, get the Enterprise
out of here.

Wait, Captain, we've lost Mira.

- Delay that order.
- Stabilize her.

I have her coordinates,
but she is suspended in transit.

Let me.

All right, Mr. Sulu, get us out of here.

Mr. Scott, check emergency manual
monitor for transporter control.

- Captain, it's changing course.
- Plot the new course, Mr. Chekov.

- Present course is 126, mark 20.
- Plot it.

Present course will bring it across
our starboard side.

Mr. Spock, you made a statement that
phenomenon is not a storm. Explain.

No known conditions in space
would support that phenomenon.

- What is it?
- I'm having difficulty with sensors.

They are under selective attack as the
occupants of Memory Alpha were.

Deductive reasoning
has to be substituted.

Sensors are operating at the moment.

Perhaps the creature will now reveal
something about itself.

But I saw those men dead,
in their exact positions.

Listen to me.

I've told you what strange tricks
a space trip can play on your mind.

- Now, that's all it is.
- No, Scotty.

Have you ever had visions
of future events before this?

- Never.
- If you ask me, nobody ever has.

That seeing of the future, it's pure
bunk. You know that, don't you?

- I've always believed it.
- And you were perfectly right.

Then what is it, Scotty?
What's frightening me?

Ever since that storm hit,

I've had such strange thoughts,
such feelings of terror.

Space. Space. That's all it is.

Then I don't have to report it?

If you want to spend the trip in Sickbay.
But what good would that do?

Dr. McCoy can no more cure it
than he can a cold.

It's heading straight for us.

- Activate shields.
- Shields activated.

Mr. Chekov,
change course to 143, mark 3.

- 143, mark 3.
- Storm's course, Mr. Sulu?

143, mark 3.

- Take evasive action.
- Evasive action.

Hard starboard, 217, mark 5.

217, mark 5.

- Still with us, sir.
- Hard port, 117, mark 2.

117, mark 2.

Still with us, sir.

- Is it closing?
- Negative. Maintaining its distance.

However, it is matching
each maneuver we execute

and I am receiving
increasing magnitude of energy.

Your analysis, Spock? What is it?

Not what is it, Captain. What are they?

There are ten distinct life units
within it, all powerfully alive and vital.

- Who are they? Where are they from?
- We need computer analysis.

We can't outrun them.
What about shields?

I do not believe shields
would prove effective.

There must be some defense.

We are dealing
with a community of life units.

Their attack is in the form of
brainwaves directed against the brain.

Maybe we can avoid another attack.

Lieutenant, open all channels.
Tie in the universal translator.

Mr. Spock says it's alive.
Maybe I can talk to it.

All channels open. Translator tied in.

This is Captain James Kirk of the
USS Enterprise. We wish you no harm.

Physical contact between us is fatal.

Please, do not come
any closer to our ship.

- Perhaps it did not understand.
- Change in velocity recorded.

They're passing our starboard side
and moving in front of us.

Switching to forward scanner.

Captain, change in velocity recorded.
It has accelerated its approach.

Help, Scotty.

Hold me. It's happening again.

- No!
- Mira...

Perhaps it understands
another kind of language.

Condition Red Alert.
Prepare for phaser firing.

- Mira...
- No, Scotty! No!

- Lock in phaser tracking controls.
- Locked in.

Adjust phasers. Fire across its course.
Do not hit it.

- Locked in, sir.
- Fire.

Reaction, Mr. Sulu?

None, sir.
They're still approaching us.

A shot across the bow
is insufficiently convincing.

Prepare to lock phasers
into the heart of the community.

- Locked in, sir.
- Fire.

Scotty!

Mira!

Mira.

Phasers stopped their approach.
They're holding position.

Lock in for another blast.

Locked in, sir.

SCOTTY [OVER INTERCOM]:
Captain!

Captain, the phaser shots
are killing Mira!

- Killing Lieutenant Romaine?
- When you fired, she crumpled.

Another shot and you'll kill her.

Get her to Sickbay at once.

Ready for firing, Captain.

Cancel that order.

Another attack
will kill Lieutenant Romaine.

- It appears so.
- If she is to survive, we can't attack.

Not directly.

Can the computer supply a defense
based on the data?

Negative. I have not been able
to gather sufficient data.

Captain, there is only
one possible defense.

If we can find an environment
which is deadly to the alien form.

And yet isolate the girl
from its deadly effects.

Captain Kirk to Dr. McCoy. Is the girl
well enough to be questioned?

McCOY [OVER INTERCOM]:
I can have her ready in a few minutes.

Have her and Mr. Scott in the briefing
room as quickly as possible.

Bring all available biographical material
with you. Kirk out.

Mr. Spock, come with me.

- Go easy. She's in a bad state.
- I'll try.

Lieutenant Romaine.

I didn't mean to be uncooperative.

Of course. I told the captain.

We must understand
what's happening.

I'll tell you everything I know.

Investigative procedures are
confusing to a new crewman.

- Don't let us upset you.
- I trust all of you implicitly.

I want to help.

This investigation has been
prompted by two events.

First is the time
you passed out on the bridge

and second is when we fired phasers
into the force attacking us

and seriously injured you.

- You mustn't worry about hurting me.
- This is how we'll proceed.

Mr. Spock has all the information
available to us about our attackers.

Dr. McCoy has access to
Starfleet's exhaustive files on you.

A comparison may turn up
an improbable connection,

which may protect you and ourselves.

All right, gentlemen?

Dr. McCoy, will you proceed?

Romaine, Mira, place of birth,
Martian Colony number 3.

Parents, Lydia Romaine, deceased,

Jacques Romaine,
chief engineer of Starfleet, retired.

Are you prepared with
the background of the attackers?

I am. I have fed all obtainable data
to the main computer.

It should supply possible conclusions.

Thank you.

What is the status
of our friends up there?

Unchanged. They're with us
at the same distance.

Continue evasive maneuvers.
Keep me informed. Kirk out.

Doctor, do you have a medical record
of Lieutenant Romaine available?

- Yes, Captain.
- Check her psychological profile.

Any history of psychosomatic illness?

Occasional in teenage
routine incidence.

Any evidence of involuntary
or unconscious telepathic abilities?

- None.
- Any unusual empathic responses?

No, Captain, not empathic.

However, an extremely flexible
and pliant response

to new learning situations
is highly marked.

Go ahead, Doctor.

After our phasers hit that thing, I gave
her a standard Steinman analysis.

- The results might be interesting.
- Mm-hm. Go ahead.

A comparison of our Steinman
with Starfleet records shows

that Lieutenant Romaine's fingerprints,
voice analysis,

all external factors
remain the same as before.

However, according to
two hyperencephalograms,

her brainwave pattern
has been altered.

- That's impossible.
- That's what I was taught.

But the BCP is
as consistent as fingerprints.

Let's see it.

According to your records,

she showed
no abnormal telepathic powers.

That's right, Spock,
but exceptional pliancy was indicated.

- That might be a factor.
- You're sure this is the correct slide?

Yes. That is tape deck D,

brain circuitry pattern
of Lieutenant Mira Romaine.

Gentlemen, it also
happens to be tape H,

the impulse tracking
obtained from the aliens.

Nurse Chapel followed the steps.
There is no error.

Check it, Spock.

As I said, Captain, this is the tracking
obtained during the last shielded run.

Computer, run a detailed comparison,

brain circuitry patterns,
tape D and tape H.

COMPUTER:
Comparison tape D,

brain circuitry patterns of
Lieutenant Mira Romaine

and tape H, brain circuitry
patterns of alien life unit.

Identical.

Fascinating.

- There is no error.
- Dr. McCoy is correct, Captain.

An identity of minds is taking place

between the alien beings
and the mind of Lieutenant Romaine.

Their thoughts... are becoming hers.

Captain, the alien is no longer
maintaining its distance.

Continue evasive action.
Keep me informed. Kirk out.

Mira has tried to tell me along that
she was seeing things in advance.

Why didn't you report it?

You don't report space sickness.
That's all I thought it was.

- What did she see?
- The first attack on the ship.

The attack on Memory Alpha and...
[SNIFFS]... the time we nearly lost her.

Those were acts
carried out by our attacker.

And...

And...

Yes, Scotty.

What else?

I thought for a moment
there was something else,

but I guess I was wrong.

- Was he wrong, Lieutenant?
- Yes, there was one other time.

- What did you see?
- I saw Scotty.

Where?

- I don't know.
- What was he doing?

He was dying.

Now I understand
what's been happening.

I've been seeing through...
another mind.

I've been flooded with thoughts,
not my own, that control me.

Scotty, I'd rather die than hurt you.
I'd rather die.

All right, now.

What's all this talk of dying?

They've called the turn on us
three out of four times.

That's a better average
than anybody deserves.

It's our turn now. We'll fight them.

So let's not hear
anything more about dying.

[COMMUNICATOR BLEEPS]

Kirk here.

SULU [OVER INTERCOM]:
Evasion tactics carried out as ordered.

- What success did you have?
- It's been useless.

At their present force, they will get
through the shields this time.

- Warp 8, Mr. Sulu.
- Yes, sir.

They'll be here very soon.

They may destroy you and us
as they did Memory Alpha.

You are especially
susceptible to their will.

But we have one chance to survive.

Don't resist. Let them begin
to function through you.

If we can control that moment,
we have a chance. Will you try?

Tell me what to do.

Captain Kirk to medical lab.

MAN [OVER INTERCOM]:
Medical lab here.

Prepare the antigrav test units.
Let's go.

Attention, all personnel.
Alien force has penetrated the ship.

Take defensive action.

Attention, the alien being
has penetrated the ship.

Take defensive action.

General quarters, security condition 3,
intruder.

Repeat, general quarters,
security condition 3, intruder alert.

As soon as she has entered
the gravity chamber, secure all ports.

Don't touch me, Scotty. Stay away.

[GROWLS]

We've lost her to them.

- Stay where you are!
- She could kill us all.

She will unless we complete
the captain's plan.

Stay with us, Mira. Please stay.

I'm trying.

I want to be with you.

They are too strong.

Don't lose yourself to them. Hold on.

I am Mira Romaine.

I will be who I choose to be.

I will...

Stay away, Scotty!

They are with me. They will kill you.

You won't let them.

She cannot stop us.

You cannot prevent it.

Mira. Mira!

Captain.

- That's not Mira talking.
- We must deal with them now.

While she retains partial identity,
we can speak to them.

They will answer using her voice.

I'm Captain James Kirk
of the spaceship Enterprise.

Do you understand?

Yes, we understand you.

We have searched for a millennium
for one through whom we can see

and speak and hear
and live out our lives.

- Who are you?
- We are from Zetar.

That is one of the planets where
all humanoid life was destroyed.

You can't be from Zetar.
All life was destroyed there long ago.

- Yes, all corporeal life was destroyed.
- Then what are you?

The desires, the hopes, the mind
and the will of the last 100 of Zetar.

The force of our life
could not be wiped out.

- All things die.
- At the proper time.

Our planet was dying.
We were determined to live on.

At the peak of our plans to go,
a sudden final disaster struck us down.

But the force of our lives survived.

At last we have found someone
through whom we can live it out.

The body of the one you inhabit
has its own life to lead.

She will accept ours.

She will not.
She is fighting for her own identity.

Her mind will accept our thoughts.
Our lives will be fulfilled.

Will she learn the way the people
on Memory Alpha learned?

- We did not wish to kill.
- But you did kill.

No. Resisting us killed those people.
We did not kill them.

The price of your survival is too high.

We only want the girl.

You can't have her. You're entitled
to your own life, but not another's.

Life was given to me.

It is mine. I want to live it out.

I... will...

The girl's life reading is becoming
a match to the Zetarians. She's losing.

Do not fight us.

They will not accept their own deaths.

- They'll be forced to accept it.
- You will all die.

If we cannot complete the plan,
they will carry out their threat.

Get her to the pressure chamber.

Jim, you realize the pressure needed to
kill the Zetars might kill the girl, too.

Mira will not kill me.

[SHOUTS]

I told you she wouldn't kill me.

Secure the chamber.

Neutralize gravity.

The Zetars grow stronger.

The weightless state has become
their natural condition.

Pressurize the unit.

Bring pressures to two atmospheres

and increase
one atmosphere per second.

Continue increasing pressure.

Pressure, Spock.

The pressure is dangerously high,
Captain. It may damage her.

Continue, Spock.

Pressure.

We've done it, Jim. They're gone.

It's all right, Mira. They're gone.

They're gone.

Reduce the pressure
very gradually, Spock.

We may tax
Mr. Scott's patience, Doctor.

Lie perfectly still.
Try not to move at all.

Take deep, regular breaths.

Don't hold it.
Continue to breathe deeply.

In... Out...

That's it. You'll be in there
another 20 minutes, so try to relax.

Now we have all the time in the world.

Are you able to judge
the long-range effects on her?

When the personality of a human is
involved, predictions are hazardous.

Particularly where
humans are involved.

Despite Starfleet judgment
of the pliancy of the lieutenant,

she put up a valiant struggle
to retain her identity.

Dr. McCoy is correct.
While the truth was difficult to accept,

when it was revealed, she reacted well.

I would say this experience would
strengthen her entire ego structure.

Would either of you credit
Scotty's belief in her as a factor?

You mean... love as motivation?

Humans do claim a great deal
for that particular emotion.

- I suppose it is possible. However...
- There are no howevers about it.

It was a factor and it will be
a factor in her recovery.

Do I take it both of you agree

that Lieutenant Romaine needs
no further treatment?

I think work would be
a better therapy.

Logical.

- Captain Kirk to Mr. Scott.
- Scott here, sir.

- How's Lieutenant Romaine?
- Beautiful.

Yes. Do I take it
you say that she is fit for duty?

- Positively, Captain.
- Thank you.

- Kirk to bridge.
- Sulu, Captain.

Set course for Memory Alpha.

Lieutenant Romaine
has a lot of work to do.

Well, this is an Enterprise first.

Dr. McCoy, Mr. Spock
and Engineer Scott

find themselves
in complete agreement.

Can I stand the strain?
