Stardate Unknown: A deadly computer image protects a long dead outpost.
Preparing to beam down to investigate puzzling geological conditions on an unexplored Class M planet, Captain Kirk, Dr. McCoy, Sulu, and geologist Lieutenant D'Amato see a woman, Losira, appear in the Enterprise transporter room. She touches an ensign, killing him instantly, as the others are dematerializing, helpless to assist. When they materialize, they are unable to contact the Enterprise, which has been hurled almost a thousand light years away as a result of Losira's appearance.
Losira's image keeps materializing aboard the Enterprise and on the planet, killing someone each time. A young engineering officer is killed aboard the ship, and D'Amato is slain on the planet's surface. Sulu narrowly escapes death after Losira's image announces that she has come for him, and the landing party discovers that she can only kill the person she names. They stumble across an underground chamber, where they find that Losira is a holographic projection created by a computer left behind by the Kalandans, an extinct race that used the planet as a scientific outpost. Just as Kirk and the rest of the landing party are about to be killed by multiple versions of Losira, Spock beams down and destroys the ancient computer.
