Who Mourns for Adonais?

Myriad Universes: Who Mourns for Adonais?

Adapted from the episode Who Mourns for Adonais?.
Written by Gilbert A. Ralston.

In the vicinity of planet Pollux IV, the Enterprise encounters a huge, green hand that materializes in space and holds the starship motionless. The "hand" is not flesh and blood, but a form of energy belonging to a humanoid figure who identifies himself as the god Apollo, last survivor of the band of space travelers who visited old Earth and dwelled on Mount Olympus. He declares the Enterprise crew to be his "children," who will now stay on Pollux IV and worship him. When Mr. Scott objects to the attention Apollo shows to Lieutenant Carolyn Palamas, he is hurled through the air by a thunderbolt from Apollo's hand. The "god" also demonstrates other abilities, including the power to grow to giant size at will. Kirk orders Lieutenant Palamas, who has fallen in love with Apollo, to reject him. Then, using the Enterprise's phasers, he destroys Apollo's temple, the source of the entity's power. Seeing that he has lost both his worshipers and his love, Apollo discontinues his physical existence to join his fellow gods.

The Changeling

Myriad Universes: The Changeling

Adapted from the episode The Changeling.
Written by John Meredyth Lucas.

The Enterprise investigates the destruction of the Malurian system's four billion inhabitants and locates an unexpected source: a self-contained computer/space probe of great power called Nomad. The device threatens the Enterprise, but Kirk and crew are temporarily saved when Nomad mistakes Captain James Kirk for its creator, Human scientist Jackson Roykirk. Nomad, a space probe launched in 2002 to seek out alien life in the galaxy, was damaged by a meteor that confused its programming and cut it off from Earth. It then encountered an alien probe, Tan-Ru, which was launched to secure sterilized soil samples. The resulting hybrid mechanism believes that its mission is to destroy imperfect life forms. Its altered programming and weapons make "the changeling" capable of fulfilling its new mission. Kirk uses the machine's confused image of him as a basis for its destruction: he convinces Nomad that it is imperfect, and the device is transported out into space before it self-destructs.
