The U.S.S.
Enterprise
and her crew are diverted by a signal from the former captain of the
U.S.S.
Enterprise on Starbase 11, and proceed to the call. When they arrive
they
find Captain Christopher Pike, who is severely crippled by radiation
burns,
confined to a moving chair and his ability to communicate limited to
the
answers "yes" and "no."
Unbeknownst
to Captain Kirk, Spock abducts Pike on board the ship. Captain Kirk
returns to the U.S.S. Enterprise with Commodore Mendez, and soon
discovers that Spock has locked the ship's controls on a course set for
the planet Talos IV — a planet to which a visit carries the
death penalty. Forced by the extreme actions of the Vulcan first
officer, the two convene a court-martial against Spock.
During
the proceedings, from an unknown source, they watch the events that
transpired when Captain Pike was in command of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
They are shown Pike's initial contact with the Talosians, a race of
beings eager to study human beings in
their natural state, and who can provide illusions to make things
appear exactly
as they would like. The transmission relays Captain Pike's entire
mission
surrounding the Talosians and their bizarre experiments while holding
him
in a powerful cage. The Talosians are telepathic beings, able to dig
deep
into the memories to find whatever illusion will be most effective.
They
attempt to hold Pike captive until his passion and fury force them to
release
him.
As
the proceedings end, the entire court-martial is found to be
meaningless, a result of Commodore Mendez being an illusion created by
the Talosians for Kirk's benefit. The events, as well, which depicted
Pike on Talos IV were also found to originate from the Talosians.
Because
of Pike's condition, Spock has risked his career and freedom to bring
his former captain to a place where he will be able to live an illusion
of a pleasant life, rather than the tragically limited one he lives
now. Kirk allows Pike to beam down to Talos IV and all charges against
Spock are dropped.
