Stardate 5730.2: Two survivors of a devasted planet remain committed to destroying one another.
On an urgent rescue mission, the Enterprise intercepts a stolen Federation shuttlecraft and its thief, a humanoid named Lokai, who asks for asylum. Lokai, a native of the planet Cheron, is half-white and half-black. Soon after his arrival, the Enterprise discovers another ship following them at incredible speed. Locking on that craft's passenger, the Enterprise transports him aboard just as his ship explodes. The passenger is Bele, another Cheronian, who is also half-black and half-white, though oppositely-colored from Lokai. He claims to be Cheron's chief officer attached to the commission of political traitors, in pursuit of Lokai. Captain Kirk resists his undiplomatic extradition attempts, and after the near destruction of the Enterprise, the starship arrives at Cheron to discover a dead world: the inhabitants have all killed one another with their insistent hatreds. Bele and Lokai chase one another down to their dead planet, where they continue their senseless fight.
