The
U.S.S. Enterprise is sent to investigate the destruction of the
Malurian system and its four billion inhabitants. When it arrives at
the coordinates, the starship itself is threatened by a space going,
self-contained computer/probe calling itself Nomad. When Kirk
identifies himself by name, Nomad mistakes him for "The Kirk," and
thinks him to be his creator.
Nomad
is beamed aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise and promptly erases Uhura's
memory and kills Scotty, claiming that neither life form was perfect.
At Kirk's demand Nomad repairs "the unit Scott," bringing him back to
life.
Spock
attempts a Vulcan mind meld with Nomad and learns that it was created
on Earth in the twenty-first century by scientist Jackson Roykirk.
Nomad's program was to seek out new life and report back to Earth.
Damaged in space by a meteor, Nomad drifted until it found Tan Ru, an
alien probe designed to sterilize soil. Using their self-repair
systems, the two probes combined themselves into one. Nomad's
programming was damaged and by joining with Tan Ru's now believes its
mission is to seek out life and destroy anything that it does not
believe perfect.
Kirk
convinces Nomad that it had mistaken him, Captain James T. Kirk, for
Nomad's creator, Jackson Roykirk, thus making Nomad imperfect and a
candidate for "sterilization." A confused Nomad begins to
self-destruct, exploding just after Kirk beams the changeling into
space. Kirk checks on Uhura's progress after the attack by Nomad. McCoy
informs him that her brain is undamaged and she must simply "relearn"
what the probe erased. |

90 photon

and NO DAMAGE?!?!?!
How come an enemy ship can fire just a few
torpedoes and cause the shields to fail?
They goofed with this statistic.

What about all of Uhura's experiences
up to the point when her mind is erased?
Her childhood . . . Her teens . . .
They can't possibly teach her about those.
They shouldn't have had Nomad erase
her mind completely.
