BATEL:
Captain's Log, stardate 2344.2.

The Cayuga is
just outside Federation space,

in orbit of the colony planet
of Parnassus Beta.

Their founders designed it
on the small town model.

Made to look like the old
Midwestern United States.

We've been tasked
with assisting the colonists,

who are dealing with challenges
on several fronts.

We're helping to stabilize
their agricultural crop,

as well as providing
necessary vaccinations.

CHAPEL:
Okay. You ready?

Three, two, one.

Done.

It's the last one.

Should all be up-to-date
on their inoculations.

Thanks again for your help.

Yeah, I'm just grateful
for the ride.

Dr. Korby doesn't mind you
arriving a little early?

Eh, I mean, it's space.

This incident could spark a war

Starfleet would like to

I detect a counterfrequency

It appears to be negating
all scans, communications,

- Any idea what's causing it?

LA'AN:
I believe the Gorn might have
an interference field,

a weapon to deploy
during invasions.

Renders their enemies blind,
unable to communicate or move.

So there's no way to beam anyone
off that ship, or the planet?

That is correct, Captain.

Then we need to think harder.

When I last spoke with Captain
Batel, she was on the surface,

which means
she's probably still there.

Starfleet protocols would have

You want to cross the line?

Which is why I'm not ordering

I've tried several routes

using the gravity of the moon
as a slingshot,

and several others utilizing
a geosynchronous orbit

to take us off the same plane
as the Gorn hunter,

but there is no way
to get us to the surface

without coming into
sensor range of the ship.

If we cross
the demarcation line,

the Gorn are gonna
know about it.

ORTEGAS:
Hmm.

- What's this stuff here?
- UNA: Debris from the Cayuga.

I mean, they're not
shooting at that,

'cause they already did.

- Are you suggesting...
- Maybe the best way across
is right in front of us.

That's brilliant.

Make ourselves look like
a piece of space debris.

The Gorn might just
let us pass through.

Don't know if I love
the word "might" there.

Admittedly, we could use
your expertise.

This is a pretty tricky course

but a lot more violent.

The Gorn.

But you didn't detect them

Starfleet would've warned them first.

Something about the flares
brought 'em out.

SAM:
With locusts,
environmental factors

can trigger a swarming instinct,
causing them to consume.

What if it's the same
with the Gorn?

CMEs, in certain sequences,
set off a consumption cycle?

Are you suggesting they invaded
because of...

- sunspots?
- SAM: You showed us

how they communicate
ship-to-ship through light.

What if they evolved
with some deep,

ingrained sensitivity to it?

BATEL:
If that's true,
it's critical intel.

If they react instinctively
to solar activity,

we might be able to use that
against them.

All the more reason to find
a way off this planet.

You said earlier you figured out
a way to hide in plain sight.

With the Gorn,
best I can explain,

I-I did a quick assessment
of their scanning tech,

and I saw how
they recognized each other.

It's similar to
our transponders,

and, well, I-I built one.

Um, pretty quick. [chuckles]

You built a Gorn transponder?

Using equipment
from our solar array.

Uh, basically, to a scanner,

the shuttle looked
like a Gorn ship.

If they couldn't recognize you,
how did you not get away?

Well, I took damage.

Uh, by the time I was hidden,

I was leaking antimatter.

This was the closest planet
I could set down on,

She does a better me.

SPOCK:
Two warp signatures incoming.

Gorn hunters?

Yes.

They are holding to their side
of the demarcation line for now.

Can't make this red alert
any redder, Mr. Spock.

Commander? Can we talk to you
and Lieutenant Spock, please?

SPOCK:
You've determined the source
of the interference field?

Not exactly.

We've determined the location
from which the field emanates.

Short version:
by adjusting our output,

we triangulated the point of
origin of the countersignals.

PELIA:
Now, we don't have any photos,

because it's on the far side
of the planet.

But we do know it's not native.

There's no structure indicated

on any colony maps
in that location.

I'm betting it's some kind of
machine the Gorn brought.

If we can destroy it,

we can resume comms
and transporter signals.

Only problem I can see,
is there's no way for us

to use weapons on it without
getting into a larger war.

We can't fire weapons,

but we already know

that the Gorn don't respond
to space debris.

So, all we have to do is find
a way to get a piece of debris,

large enough to survive reentry,
to crash into that structure.

The saucer section of
the Cayuga.

- Mm-hmm.
- My goodness.

If you had answered like that
in my class,

I would've given you an A-plus.

With the right calculations

and a few well-placed
retro rockets,

we can make it appear that

Cayuga's orbit is
decaying naturally.

Just more space junk,
burning up in the atmosphere.

PELIA:
While it is descending
to the surface,

we can make a few last-minute
attitude adjustments

so that it will crash
exactly where we want it to.

UHURA:
And by the time the Gorn realize
what's happened,

- it'll be too late.
- We can beam our people up
and get the hell out of here.

SPOCK:
Placing those rockets is
a near impossible task.

No human can do this.

I, however, can.

- Spock.
- The commander
and the ensign are right.

If we want to rescue our people
on the surface,

this is our best chance.

I know losing Christine
is hard, but...

Yes, I am upset.

But I have not given in
to grief yet.

Logic dictates we do not know
Chapel's or Batel's fate.

And until we do, the best chance

we have to save them is
if Enterprise takes out

the Gorn's interference field.

Further, I am
the only member of the crew

who can pull this off.

If it is to succeed,
it must be me.

borrow another

Marie, talk to me.

Why did that Gorn run away?

I don't know, Chris.

Hey.

I came all the way here

Trust me with the truth.

It happened yesterday.

BATEL:
I can't go with you,
you know that.

- You know what'll happen.
- You can't make this decision.

I won't endanger your crew
or the survivors.

It's what Hemmer did, Chris.

- Hemmer...
- He understood.

He was brave,
but he didn't give us a choice.

Here's my choice.

We free the device,
install it in your shuttle,

I fly it into the Gorn tower,
destroy it,

and you and the rest of the
survivors beam to Enterprise.

There's got to be
a way to save you.

You have to let us at least try.

Marie...

Transporters and comms

Spock to transporter,
two to beam aboard

Acknowledged and relayed, Lieutenant.

UNA:
Number One to Pike, do you read?

PIKE [over comm]:
Boy, am I glad

to hear your voice,
Number One.

UNA:
No time to waste, Chris.

I don't know
how much time we have

before the Gorn react.

I need you
to track the colonists

and beam them up.

They're in a building two klics

south-by-southwest.

What about you?

Three to beam up
directly to sickbay.

We'll need a med team

and have Pelia meet us there, too.

Acknowledged.

UNA:
Welcome back, both of you.

Hate to do this to you,
Nurse Chapel,

ASAP, and, Mr. Spock,

we could use your help
on the bridge

- Copy that.

Understood, Commander.

Christine.

There'll be time later.

Christine?

You have no idea

What's happening?

Captain Batel is in need

We'll also need a stasis field.

Christine, if there's one sign
we can't stop it,

I need you to take me out.

I'm not giving up on her.

I have no intention
of doing that.

Oh, uh, Commander Pelia,
this is Lieutenant Scott.

He needs your help.

Hello, Scotty.

- Professor.
- You two know each other?

One of my best students,

who sadly received
some of my worst grades.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

The hell is this supposed to be?

Something that could help us
hide from the Gorn.

- Oh.
- If we can fix it.

Captain on the bridge.

Wish it were
better circumstances.

Just in time for more bad news.

A Gorn destroyer arrived
in orbit.

We're facing four ships.

SPOCK:
Long-range scans have revealed
more Gorn ships

in the vicinity,
arriving in minutes.

Evasive maneuvers.

Uhura, I need to get
a priority message

to Starfleet. We've learned
some critical intel

about the Gorn
that they need to know.

Aye, Captain,
I'll open a channel.

Number One,
I need to buy time

to transport La'An, Ortegas,
Kirk, M'Benga,

and all the colonists
off the planet.

Captain, the transporter is
not currently picking up

anyone on the surface.

- What?
- There's been
no evacuation of any kind.

We have been scanning
since you first called.

We read no human life signs
on Parnassus Beta.

That's impossible, there are
hundreds of them. Check again.

I'm reading residual
transport signatures

from the center of the town,
non-Starfleet.

- What are you saying?
- The colonists
and the landing party

appear to have been beamed up...

by the Gorn.
