star trek 5800's

 5800's have three adventures.

first: 5818.   my summary of 58 "century" "5818.4=ardana" v "cloud" cald e19 kuz before eden]

ent' flew toward Ardana, quickly passing many stars. Ardana was the only known source of zenite, the mineral which they need to end a "botanical plague" on planet Merak II.

Kirk orderd Uhura to send a mesage to the "High Advisor of Ardana". that we must hurry to the mine entrance. we dont have time to attend the welcoming ceremony".

On the surface, Kirk and Spock materialized on a platform. they look up at the cloud city named Stratos. they find the mine entrance vacant. suddenly, they get lassoed. they see four Troglytes, dressed in dusty jumpsuits, boots, and gloves. their eyes were covered by   silver bands, with narrow eye-slits.  three wore red suits. one wore purple.

(parallel "The USS Enterprise flew toward Ardana, under Federation orders, quickly passing many stars. Ardana was the only known source of zenite, the mineral which they need for ending a botanical plague on planet Merak II. Kirk ordered Uhura to send a message to the High Advisor of Ardana, that they must hurry to the mine entrance. They don't have time to attend the welcoming ceremony.

On the surface, the landing party (Kirk and Spock) materialized on a platform. They look up at the cloud city named Stratos. They find the mine entrance vacant. Suddenly, they get lassoed by four Troglytes, who wore dusty jumpsuits, boots, and gloves. The attackers' eyes were covered by silver bands, with narrow eye-slits. Bandanas covered the attackers' hair. Kirk and Spock are captured." end hook.

act 1  Kirk started to explain... but they begin fighting. spock puld his lassoe rope to topple one. Kirk kickd another. some attackers swung knives. they were all wrestling, until miss purple pind kirk. PARALLEL [my edit to memory alpha in case reverted] "Kirk demands to know why he and Spock have been captured. The woman in the group replies, "''interference breeds attack, Captain.''" Mistaking them for Stratos dwellers, Kirk starts to explain the situation, but she argued, so Spock pulled his lasso rope to topple one. Kirk kicked another. Some attackers swung knives. They were all wrestling, until three more men materialize on the platform. Two guards are wearing sky-blue tunics. The bearded man yells for the fighting to stop. Both guards raise weapons and shoot. The zaps hit one of the attackers. The other attackers manage to escape into the mine.

Three more men materialized on the platform. two gards wore sky-blue tunics. the bearded man orderd stop fighting. the gards raised weapons and zapd an attacker. the other attackers fled into the mine. The robed figure introduces himself as Plasus, the High Adviser of the Council and explains the situation. The Disrupters, a rebel group of Troglytes, have confiscated the zenite in order to force negotiations in their favor. He orders the guards to immediately organize a search party and invites Kirk and Spock to visit Stratos in the meantime.

Kirk, Spock, and Plasus materialize on a balcony in Stratos. K&S are impressed by the view. a lady met them,  daughter of Plasus named Droxine. 

Plasus shows them  art  until he saw a tool embedded in one of the artworks. Plasus invites them to rest while they wait for the zenite. When they leave, two sentinels led in a struggling prisoner. he wore the same suit as the attackers. he was leaving the city without  a transport card ergo suspected. Plasus questions him and then orderd they tie him. the prisoner puld free and jumpd  over the railing preferring suicide. he fell from the height, far down to the surface.

In the luxurious chamber, Kirk was sleeping on a bed. Spock sat on a padded chair, and was meditating. He went to talk to Droxine about Vulcans. a woman, wearing a blue dress, hid behind a column. she enters kirk's chamber and pointed a sharp tool to his neck.

Kirk moved her arm [not one move] they wrestle until he caused the tool to fall and pind her. because she was one of the attackers, he questiond her. she was named Vanna and wanted to take Kirk hostage. When Kirk releases her,  she  grabd the tool again so he grabd her arms and knokd it from her hand.

Droxine and Spock enter. they learn v' is a servant. she mistakenly believes that the Enterprise goal is quelling the rebellion. Droxine's words indicate that the Troglytes were considered inferior.

a gard led Vanna out. K&S argue with Droxine about Troglyte-servants. She insists that the system is perfect so no reason to change it.

gards tied Vanna's hands to a squared marble post. Plasus demands she tell the names of the other Disrupters. Vanna denies others. they zap her causing Vanna to scream. Kirk and Spock heard and came.  Vanna slumps unconscious. Kirk protested the torture. Plasus claimd it is necessary. they argued. p' orders the Sentinels to untie Vanna from the torture device. they obey. p' demands Kirk and Spock leave [without the mineral].

Kirk and Spock beam up. Plasus orderd to kill Kirk if he ever returnd.

ent' continues orbiting. kirk spoke with Dr. McCoy who said  gas emanates from unrefined zenite that harms the minds of Troglytes in that environment.  still, simply wearing gas mask filters should protect them. since Vanna was far from the gas, in stratos, her mind is better than the other Troglytes. they plan to persuade the miners to give them zenite, to save the plants.  

Kirk, Spock and McCoy told Plasus about the gas. he rejected their ideas and switched off the communication.

Kirk beamd to Vanna's cell and held a gas mask. He said he will return to mediate between her and plasus, in exchange for zenite. Vanna finally agrees. kirk hid when a gard brout food to Vanna's table. kirk aimd his phaser and stund him. They used his pass to escape... into a mine deep below the surface. Vanna signald by hitting a tool against the mine wall three times. two appear... and captured Kirk as hostage, without phaser nor communicator.  he  mined zenite with bare hands while Vanna pointed his phaser at him so he would work and not escape. one went to bring the gas mask to prove they have a hostage the High Adviser. the other, Midro has a different idea but went to warn the Disrupters of any Enterprise officers who try to rescue Kirk.  he suddenly jumpd up turning to knock aside the phaser. he tackled her and phaserd to seal them in. Vanna exclaims that Kirk has cut off their air, but Kirk says "i need a demonstration." He finds his communicator and orders Spock to transport Plasus to Kirk's coordinates in the mine.

on Stratos, Plasus stood near  Droxine talking about the vistors... ergo in ent' they can't obey kirk, kuz the duo were too close to transport p' alone.

a sentinel told them Vanna escaped, then left. Droxine said "Kirk is desperate"   she doubts her father's methods of dealing with the Troglytes. she walkd away... so they beamd Plasus up into the transporter room and immediately down into the mine. Kirk forces both Plasus and Vanna to mine the zenite in order to become exposed to the gas. Plasus challenges Kirk to a duel. he points to some tools. Kirk agreed.

p' charged at k' swinging both pointy tools. k' dodged and pushed him. kirk dodged and kikd one tool away. then he grabd p's arm and twisted til the tool dropd then they wrestled on the mine floor. 

Vanna  grabs the communicator, and pleads to the Enterprise to transport them away from this mine, before the two combatants kill each other. the three materialize on the transporter platform and hit each other some more. ultimately she gave kirk zenite and they talkd until ent' beamd up K&S with the mineral. it flew away. [not warp kuz only plants].

NEXT 5832

NEXT    5832 v  eden

Enterprise chased the sv Aurora for its crew of theives. it tryd to evade until its engines overheat. Scott beamd the criminals aboard as aur' exploded.

Kirk and Spock meet n talk with the thieves. Among them is Tongo Rad, the son of a Catullan ambassador  and whose involvement prevents Captain Kirk, under orders from the Federation, from arresting the group for theft. Instead, Kirk is ordered to bring them to a starbase as guests. 

Rad and the group  sit on the floor barefoot. they demand Kirk bring them to the planet Eden which Kirk insists is a myth. Spock apparently seems to understand the group's gestures and motives, though they do not give him details, either. They chant Kirk derisively, "Herbert! Herbert!"

 "Captain's log, stardate "5832.3." The son of the Catullan ambassador is one of six we have beamed aboard from the stolen cruiser Aurora. We have been ordered to handle him with extreme delicacy, because the treaty negotiations now in progress between the Federation and Catulla are in a crucial phase."

Kirk goes to the bridge to have Lieutenant Palmer notify the starbase that they have the group alive. Another member of the group is Irina Galliulin, an acquaintance of Ensign Chekov and a dropout from Starfleet Academy. The group, led by Dr. Sevrin, a former university professor on Tiburon, rejects conventional society.

In sickbay, Chekov meets Galliulin after long separation. He asks what happened, and she says she believes in her path and knew Chekov would not approve. 

Dr. Sevrin is quarantined. Chekov joins the security officers guarding sickbay in pushing back Sevrin's followers from entering.

2  After being examined in sickbay, Dr. Sevrin is found to be a carrier for the deadly bacteria synthococcus novae, created by the very advances that make life in the 23rd century possible. The disease has no cure, but immunization is available. Kirk orders Dr. McCoy that boosters be administered to the crew, but that Dr. Sevrin must be put in isolation until he no longer poses a danger to the crew or his companions. Dr. Sevrin protests the action, claiming he did not know he was a carrier. Meanwhile, Dr. Sevrin's companions boldly circulate among the crew, attempting to incite the younger members, in particular, Sulu, to *join them.

"Captain's log, stardate 5832.5. The arrogance of Dr. Sevrin and his followers is creating an intolerable situation aboard the Enterprise. If it continues, I'll be forced to use controls which might not agree with Starfleet's suggestion that they be handled with extreme tolerance."

Kirk finally asks Spock to speak to Dr. Sevrin to persuade his followers to stop their actions before they are charged under Federation laws and barred from continuing their search for Eden. Dr. Sevrin then reveals to Spock 

he  says only a primitive world such as Eden can fully cleanse him from the disease. Spock counters that his presence would destroy any life on that planet, but Dr. Sevrin is unrelenting in his quest. Spock concludes that Dr. Sevrin is insane, but offers to help in the search for Eden by using the resources of the Enterprise.

"Captain's log, stardate 5832.6. I have asked Dr. McCoy to check Starfleet medical records to verify Mr. Spock's suspicion that Dr. Sevrin is insane. In spite of Dr. Sevrin's antipathy to us, he has promised Mr. Spock that he will order his disciples to conform to our rules and regulations."

Adam, one of Dr. Sevrin's followers, visits Spock in his quarters with a request to put on a concert for the crew. Spock agrees to ask Kirk about the idea. Adam spots Spock's Vulcan lute on a shelf behind him and Spock lets him try it out. Adam then hands the lute to Spock for a little demonstration on how to play it. Adam asks Spock to join him on the concert that he has proposed. Spock agrees.

Meanwhile, in auxiliary control, Chekov is assisting Spock's search for Eden, but he is distracted by Irina's presence. In trying to seduce the young ensign, Irina learns about the functions of the secondary control room. Adam and Irina then rejoin the rest of the group and there the true plan is revealed: the group is attempting to seize control of the Enterprise once Eden is located.

3  During the concert, Tongo Rad climbs up a ladder, sneaks up behind Sevrin's guard, 

and without hitting him, caused unconcious. he switche off the force field to free Sevrin. They make their way to auxiliary control and the others join them, they divert control of the ship to themselves and change course for Eden taking the Enterprise across the Romulan Neutral Zone and into Romulan territory.

On the bridge, Sulu *reports to Kirk that the helm is unresponsive. Scott believes it may have shorted out, but determines that helm control has been redirected to auxiliary control. Sevrin announces that he now has control of the Enterprise, as well as the ship's life support, and will not release control of the vessel until they reach Eden.  Scott started cutting through a wall into auxiliary control by phaser as  Kirk orderd. Sevrin stopd kirk's group by activating ultrasonics. the sound topples spock and kirk and the crew of the Enterprise.

4 Kirk, despite great agony, managed to switch off the sound waves. Kirk discovers that a shuttle is missing. Dr. Sevrin and his followers stole the shuttlecraft Galileo II to take them to eden's surface. Kirk [decides] chased after the stolen craft. 

many beam down. the legends are true Eden is a fabulously beautiful planet. However, they learn the beauty hides deadly secrets: the grass and plant life are full of a powerful acid, and the fruit is poisonous to Humans.

 [found after adam dead] Sevrin and his followers nursing severe burns on their bare feet from the acid in the grass "Adam dead from eating the fruit."

!!

they found the shuttlecraft.

McCoy urges everyone to the ship for medical treatment, but Sevrin runs to a tree, takes a bite out of the fruit and quickly dies.

Back on the Enterprise, the followers lost their leader. . On the bridge, Spock urges Irina *t to continue their quest [bacteria?] for Eden. "I have no doubt you will find it … or make it yourselves," he tells Irina as she and Chekov then kiss goodbye.  The Enterprise flew from planet eden.  20v but dont continue ! kuz the following day "fever emergency" unpland stop.

 next 5843 v e19 for antidote.

19=req

Kirk, McCoy, and Spock beam down to gather ryetalyn, a rare element. they need it for the antidote to deadly Rigelian fever harming the crew. 

a hovering robot zapd at them. An old man, Flint, appeard and stopd the robot. his hair is silver and he wore a dark blue cape.

*t f. insists Kirk and his trespassers leave or die. Kirk argued they need antidote.  Kirk flips open his communicator, and orders Scott lock phasers at flint who sent...

 [flaw to skip "gives Kirk two hours to obtain x the ryetalyn."] the hover-droid named M-4 to get and bring ryetalyn.

while they wait for it, Flint invites them to his luxurious  home. there they see art, while Flint spoke with a lady. her dress is shiny silver. his pants were blood-red skin-tights.

When M-4 returns with the violet crystals cald ryetalyn, Kirk said he will leave but Flint offerd "to process the rare element." while they wait, flint led a lady, his ward named Rayna, to meet them.

2 Flint introduces Rayna to them. Her first time encountering men. Flint told her story: Rayna's parents were  employees who died in an accident. They placed her in his custody. while Kirk and Rayna play billiards, Kirk and flint discuss cruelty. Flint notes that the Enterprise has weapons [which threatend him]. Kirk replies that weapons are used for defense, same as you used a hover droid. he adds that they asked for the element but if they were evil, they would simply taken it.

Kirk and Rayna play billiards and then dance while Spock plays piano. McCoy returns with the report while Kirk and Rayna are dancing. He reports that the ryetalyn contains irillium in quantities sufficient enough to render the antidote useless. Flint offers to go with M-4 and collect more samples and to screen them himself. He offers to let McCoy join him.

Later, Kirk enters Flint's laboratory. He is looking around when Rayna enters. He walks over to her and notes that the room became lonely without her. She tells him that loneliness is "a thirst. A flower dying in the desert," something Flint had said to her earlier. Kirk  asks what is behind a closed door in the lab. Rayna does not know, as Flint has told her she is never to enter it. Kirk asks why she is here then, and she tells him she often comes to this place when she is troubled. Kirk asks why she is troubled and also if she is happy here with Flint. She says Flint is the kindest man in the galaxy, but if so, Kirk wonders, why is she troubled? As Kirk leans in to give her a kiss, M-4 arrives and prepares to attack him.

 3Rayna orders the hover-bot to stop, but it does not. before it fired at Kirk, Spock enters and  zapd his phaser to vaporize. Later, Flint tells Kirk that the robot was programmed to defend the house and its occupants. it did not anticipate Kirk looking around in the lab. However, another M-4 unit arrives in Flint's living room. He states that it is too useful a device to be without. Flint notes that Kirk should be thankful that he did not attack him, as he has twice the captain's strength, but Kirk remarks that, as Flint had said earlier, it would be an interesting test of power. Rayna is pleased that Kirk did not die in the incident and Flint states that death, when unnecessary, is tragic. He orders that Kirk wait in his study, "patiently, safely," while McCoy analyzes the quality of the ryetalyn in the lab. He reminds Kirk that his defense systems operate automatically and not always in accordance with his wishes.

As Flint and Rayna leave, Kirk and Spock realize Flint loves Rayna and is exhibiting jealousy towards Kirk. However, Kirk points out that Flint seemed to want Rayna and Kirk to participate in activities together, billiard and dancing. 

 Kirk contacts the Enterprise and asks for a status  the Rigelian fever. Scott tells him that the disease has infected nearly everyone on board and they are now operating with a skeleton crew. Kirk also asks for the report on a computer search on both Flint and Rayna. Uhura informs him that there are absolutely no past records of Flint, and later, of Rayna.

Kirk and Spock realize that Flint wishes for them to linger. In another room, Rayna and Flint are watching Kirk and Spock. Rayna  believes Flint had sent the robot there to kill Kirk, which he vehemently denies.  Rayna tells Kirk that she has come to say goodbye. they kisd. he invited her to join him but Rayna left the room.

in Flint's lab, Kirk joind McCoy and Spock. They discover the hidden ryetalyn and  earlier versions of Rayna. her human body was manufactured.

4 Flint then arrives and reveals his other secret; he is an ancient immortal, born in 3834 BC. Over the course of his long lifetime, Flint has taken on many names, such as Brahms and da Vinci. Eventually, he acquired enough wealth to purchase this planet. he work on a perfect,  immortal woman. Kirk had provided the final step in her creation, stirring her emotions to life. to love me.

Flint presd a button and shrunk ent' [not prepares]. they argued until Rayna enters the room and learns the truth.  she swayd Flint to revive ent'. Flint and Kirk argue for Rayna, and fight. she must choose. her new feelings overwhelm her so she shuts down. m' felt for a pulse.

Back aboard ship, the antidote ended the fever.  while Kirk sleep at his desk, McCoy enters and talkd about  love with Spock who rejected emotion. after McCoy leaves, Spock  places one hand on Kirk's temple, and whispers, "Forget".
