Eleven
years ago, the U.S.S. Farragut encountered a deadly cloud creature with
vampire-like tendencies. James T. Kirk was on board the Farragut at
that time as they entered the region of Tycho IV. The creature killed
the ship's commander, Captain Garrovick, and half the crew by draining
their red blood cells. To this day, Kirk feels guilt at having
hesitated before firing at the creature…even though his
phaser blast had no effect.
On
his way to deliver necessary medical supplies, Kirk encounters what he
believes is the same blood-sucking entity. He pursues it, against
orders, determined to destroy it before it kills again.
A
landing party beams down to the surface of Argus X, where the creature
has taken refuge. In the party is the son of Kirk's former captain ...
Ensign Garrovick. Garrovick spies the creature and, like Kirk 11 years
before, hesitates before firing. The creature escapes and Kirk blames
Garrovick for the resulting death of a crewman.
The
creature leaves the planet with the U.S.S. Enterprise in pursuit. When
Kirk fires on it, the creature turns and enters the starship.
Fortunately, its first victim is Spock and, after tasting his
copper-based Vulcan blood, flees toward its home world, Tycho IV.
Fearing the creature will reproduce and, at the very least, kill
others, Kirk and Garrovick prepare a trap with a matter/antimatter bomb
and human blood. They lure the creature to take the bait and beam
aboard the Enterprise as the creature is killed in the resulting
explosion. |

You can tell
that
William Shatner had a cold

While redoing this page I noticed that the quality
of the WAVs is very poor. When I'm finished updating
all the pages with this new look I'm going to remake
the WAVs that I've found to be of poor quality.
