While exploring an uncharted area of space, the [[U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701|''Enterprise'']] is confronted by an [[First Federation warning buoy|alien buoy]], which is emitting dangerous radiation.  Soon after [[Starfleet Ranks#Captain|Captain]] [[Kirk, James T.|Kirk]] orders the destruction of the buoy, a gigantic ship, the ''[[Fesarius]],'' traps the ''Enterprise,'' promising to destroy the [[Starfleet]] vessel. Kirk stages a desperate bluff. He tells the alien commander, [[Balok]], that the ''Enterprise'' is equipped with [[corbomite]], which would destroy any attacker. The countdown is halted. When the ''Fesarius'' seems to be in distress, Kirk comes to the rescue. The Balok seen on screen is revealed to be a puppet, part of a series of tests the real Balok has been running to learn if Kirk and crew are truly peaceful. Diplomatic relations are established, and Lieutenant [[Bailey, David|Bailey]] volunteers to remain aboard the ''Fesarius.''

(The root of all realities)


Stardate 1512.2: Kirk bluffs his way past what appears to be a powerful alien.

While exploring an uncharted area of space, the Enterprise is confronted by an alien buoy, which is emitting dangerous radiation. Soon after Captain Kirk orders the destruction of the buoy, a gigantic ship, the Fesarius, traps the Enterprise, promising to destroy the Starfleet vessel. Kirk stages a desperate bluff. He tells the alien commander, Balok, that the Enterprise is equipped with corbomite, which would destroy any attacker. The countdown is halted. When the Fesarius seems to be in distress, Kirk comes to the rescue. The Balok seen on screen is revealed to be a puppet, part of a series of tests the real Balok has been running to learn if Kirk and crew are truly peaceful. Diplomatic relations are established, and Lieutenant Bailey volunteers to remain aboard the Fesarius.
