Prime Timeline
(The root of all realities)

Stardate 5476.3: An inhabited asteroid is on a collision course with a Federation planet.

The Enterprise encounters an asteroid on a collision course with a Federation planet, only to discover that it is actually a large, spherical spacecraft called Yonada — and its inhabitants are unaware that their home is a spaceship.

Dr. McCoy, who has just discovered that he is terminally ill, insists on joining the landing party to Yonada, where they discover the population within is governed by a sophisticated computer called the Oracle, and it is programmed to conceal Yonada's true nature from its people until the ship reaches the end of its journey. But something has gone wrong with the Oracle's programming, and Captain Kirk and Spock must find a way to correct it.

Meanwhile, McCoy falls in love with Natira, the high priestess to the Oracle. She wishes to marry him, but only if he will stay on Yonada with her and agree to obey the will of the Oracle. Kirk and Spock penetrate the Oracle's defenses and reprogram it to bypass the endangered planet. They also discover that Yonada, built centuries before by the Fabrini civilization, has in its computer banks the Fabrini's advanced medical knowledge, including a cure for McCoy's illness. Natira realizes that McCoy's place is with his own people, although she will always love him. Kirk promises McCoy that, when Yonada reaches its destination, the Enterprise will be there to greet Natira and her people.
