Light Speed
Japan - High Speed People on the
Planet Scalos
The U.S.S. Enterprise
responds to a distress call from the planet Scalos; the call shows
several Scalosians asking for assistance. Arriving at Scalos, however,
the crew find only an empty city, with no life forms registering on
tricorder scans. Compton, a young, inexperienced crewman samples the
local water and disappears.
Beaming back up to the
ship, the
crew investigates while the U.S.S. Enterprise experiences a series of
strange malfunctions. When an alien device is found in engineering, the
ship is put on full alert. Back on the Bridge, Kirk sips coffee and
suddenly finds himself "accelerated" far beyond the rest of his crew.
After acceleration, he is able to see and interact with the missing
Scalosians, who are now on his ship.
Kirk meets Deela, the
Queen of the
Scalosians, who specifically chose Kirk to be her consort. Deela
reveals the Scalosians' plan to cryogenically freeze the crew of the
ship so that they will have a ready gene pool to integrate into their
radiation-contaminated one. Kirk also finds his missing crewman,
Compton, and sees the effects of rapid acceleration — any damage to
cells causes an accelerated death.
Kirk manages to send a
message to
Spock and McCoy warning them, and delays the Scalosians long enough for
Spock to join Kirk in his accelerated state. Spock brings a possible
antidote with him, and after stopping the Scalosians, and returning
them to their planet, Kirk takes it. The Captain returns to normal, and
Spock uses the advantage of his acceleration to repair several of the
ship's systems, before he too returns to normal speed.

How would Sulu
know? He was facing AWAY
when Kirk disappeared. Only Uhura had an
opportunity to see Kirk vanish because she
was turning around at the time.

Well, at least
she's being honest.
Captain

Deela
She said, "Country
was almost destroyed."
I think she should have said "planet" instead
of "country." If it was just their country that
was almost destroyed then they could have
moved to a new one.

That would
