Those Who Survive
As a landing party prepares
to beam down to a previously unexplored Class-M planet, a beautiful
woman, Losira, appears. She touches an ensign and kills him. Already
dematerializing in the transporter beam, Kirk and the rest of his party
are helpless to stop her. Losira then disappears.
The surge of power that
Losira's
appearance caused hurtles the U.S.S. Enterprise 990.7 light years away
from where they were. Spock calculates that it will take 11.33 hours at
warp 8.4 to return to the planet.
On the surface of the
planet, Kirk,
McCoy, Sulu and geologist D'Amato discover the vegetation is poisonous
to humans and the rocks are made of an alloy that did not develop
naturally. Losira appears again and kills D'Amato, again, by merely
touching him. She vanishes, then reappears, this time for Sulu, but he
avoids her and they realize she can only harm the person whose name she
calls.
Kirk, Sulu and McCoy
band together
to keep her from killing them. Losira reappears on the Enterprise, in
engineering, and kills another crewman. When Scotty insists that
something "feels" wrong with the ship, they discover that Losira had
sabotaged the matter/antimatter integrator. Scotty repairs the device
before it has a chance to explode.
On the planet's
surface, the
landing party finds a chamber in the rocks that houses a computer. They
realize that this is where Losira appears from. Losira appears to them
again, this time in threes, so that she can touch each officer at once.
Spock and a security
team arrive
and destroy the computer that was projecting Losira's image. A visual
recording triggered by the computer shows that the planet was once an
outpost of the Kalandan race. It was ravaged by a deadly organism which
supply ships unknowingly carried back to their home world. With the
computer destroyed, the last of the Kalandans' civilization is also
dead.

I wonder why landing
parties don't
take supplies
with them. The potential for a landing party to get
cut off from the Enterprise is very high so you'd
think they would take basic supplies with them
like food and water (and a jacket.)

It's a shame we
didn't get to see more of
Dr. M'Benga, he had the potential to become
a very interesting character. Perhaps if there
had been a 4th season . . .

This guy doesn't
seem to know his own
name.
When others say it, they pronounce it like
it's spelled: Dee-a-MA-toe but he
pronounces it: Dee-a-MAN-toe
I wonder why the difference?

Mr. Sulu must have
forgotten that his

has a "stun" setting. Not that it would have worked
on Losira, but Sulu didn't know that at the time.
