"And The Children Shall Lead"
|
A sardonic comment on
Gorgon's plan to use children to take over the galaxy: "The wolf also
shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid;
and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little
child shall
lead them."
-- Isaiah 11:6

The Children Are Waiting
France -----------------
The Children's Revolt
Germany ---------------
Course to Markus 12
Italy ---------------------- On
Planet Triacus
Japan -------------- Apprentices of
the Devil
Portugal --------------------- Circle
of Power
When the U.S.S. Enterprise
finds that all the adults in the Starnes Expedition to Triacus have
killed themselves, they beam to the planet's surface to investigate.
The children, however, are alive and well and strangely oblivious to
their parents' fates.
They are beamed aboard
the U.S.S.
Enterprise while Kirk searches for an answer to the strange
occurrences. The children summon their "friendly angel" Gorgan, who
tells them to take the U.S.S. Enterprise to a planet he can control. By
garbling Kirk's words and deceiving Spock, the children are able to
take control of the starship. Finally, seeing Kirk's anxiety at the
loss of his ship, Spock realizes that something is wrong and helps the
Captain regain control.
Kirk shows the children
tricorder
tapes of their parents ... and their graves, demonstrating to them that
Gorgan is not a "friendly angel" but an evil force. The loss of his
believers renders Gorgan impotent and he fades into oblivion.

You'd think there
would be a safety feature
built into the transporter that would prevent
people from beaming into open space.
Kind of like this:
Your destination is open space.
Continue? (Y/N)
Hehehe.... Sorry about that one.
