Six Thrilling Tales From the Award-Winning Television Series Created by Gene Roddenberry
Explore the outer reaches with the Enterprise and her crew as they exchange bodies with an alien intelligence; engage in deadly war games; pursue a vaporous creature to a desolate planet; and probe a fearsome zone of darkness that threatens to destroy them all.
Murderous Beauty
The three stranded Enterprise men were nearing the big, red rock. The rock of itself slid to one side. It revealed a door that suddenly telescoped and drew upward.
They cautiously moved through the doorway. It gave onto a large chamber. Across its entrance was a huge translucent cube. Pulsing in a thousand colors, lights flashed across its surfaces. They were studying the cube when the woman appeared. She moved toward them slowly.
"Tell us who you are for," Kirk said.
"I am for James Kirk," she said.
McCoy and Sulu drew together in front of him as he said, "But James Kirk is not for you."
"Let me touch you—I beg it," she said. "It is my existence."
"It is my death," Kirk replied.
