Notes
Images
The USS Enterprise arrived at Finibus III to find that the colony had been destroyed and the colonists were missing.
[1]
An unmarked ship was soon discovered in orbit.
[1]
It turned out to be the surviving colonists and was docked with the Enterprise to evacuate it.
[1]
Nearing the end of the evacuation a Gorn ship appeared and started firing.
[1]
Scoring direct hits on the Enterprise...
[1]
...and the colony ship, destroying it in the process.
[1]
Significant damage is caused to the Enterprise.
[1]
Which enters a brown dwarf in order to regroup and recover and to even the odds.
[1]
The Gorn ship follows it in.
[1]
The Enterprise uses a tracking system devised by Mr Spock to follow the Gorn and drop a photon torpedo on it, destroying it.
[1]
Unfortunately, two more ships rapidly appear, together with a Gorn destroyer. The Enterprise decends.
[1]
A Gorn ship follows it down...
[1]
...but, cannot cope with the pressure.
[1]
Spock and La'An take a shuttle to see if the coast is clear, witnessing the Gorn communicating with light flashes.
[1]
La'An asks Spock to perform a mind meld in order to recover memories of her last encounter with the Gorn.
[1]
They recover a memory that Manu had cracked the communication code.
[1]
They use the code to trick the Gorn into destroying their own ship.
[1]
The Enterprise departs the brown dwarf and is followed by the Gorn Destroyer.
[1]
The Enterprise hides in the accretion disc of the black hole.
[1]
