- Synopsis
- Story is set before the time period of the original TV show, when Spock has only just joined the crew of Enterprise and the captain is Chistopher Pike. The Enterprise goes to Magefferus-3 to help bring peace between the various warrior groups there. Meanwhile there is some dissent as to whether a Vulcan belongs on the Enterprise crew. The Enterprise landing party is ambushed and captured, but Spock's fearless calm intrigues the natives, who spare the landing party solely to learn more about Spock.
