"People are dieing?" "How?" " Sulu you said there were no signs of distress on the planet?" asked Kirk, as distress was visible in his eyes. "Captain I stand by my readings there is no distress."said Sulu confidently.

"Uhura what going on with the readings are there life forms on the planet Helix?" inquired Kirk moving himself towards Uhura.

"Lemme see Sir." Uhura pressed her silver fingernails across the switches and gears of her desk. As Uhura read the radar fervently she came across something quite odd. Captain Kirk could see the surprise on her face and read the evaluations himself.

" The people are dead?" "How can that be that girl just contacted us." "We must to find out." said Kirk pacing himself towards the intercom dial

Captain Kirk presses the intercom dial

"Scotty and Bones meet me and Spock at the transporter room quickly" barked Kirk quickly signaling Spock to the follow him to the elevator.

"Sulu your in temporary command." "Jennings cover Sulu." directed Kirk entering the elevator with Spock and shooting away.

Spock stood next to Kirk knowing that his friend was in a great deal of worry, but comforting him wasn't an option after all that was a human expression.

"Spock I should've done something earlier." "Now all the people are gone." Said Kirk pounding his fist on the elevator door. The slight wrinkles near his eyes deepened with upset.

"Jim you made no mistake, you took the proper action and the results were inevitable." Stated Spock speaking nothing but honesty and facts.

Spock was right on the dot. Although Spock had no intensions to comfort Kirk, Kirk seemed to stand up straighter as the worry lines faded from him skin.

"Yes Spock I know your trying your best to stop me from worrying but I still can't believe I couldn't find out sooner." Said Kirk waiting for the elevator doors to open.

"Comfort is a human emotion Captain, insults aren't needed." stated Spock looking straight ahead.

Kirk couldn't help but release a tiny smile. The elevator doors open wide and Kirk and Spock walked to the transporter room.

The transporter room doors slide open, Scotty and Bones emerge from the other side, and Kirk and Spock walk through.

"Bones it seems that the people down on Helix are very hurt probably many are dead." " We need to know what killed them or who." "Oh and Scotty there's a chance that an advanced source of machine that perhaps is cloaking the planet from any recognition from scanners." " I need you to examine it." declared Kirk standing up on the transporter pad.

"Jim you haven't rested for days!" "You look like your eyes are about to pop out of your head." " I suggest a dose of sleep for the Captain." answered McCoy understanding that Kirk hadn't slept at all since there last mission.

"Bones if you came here to start talking like my mother I suggest you cook me soup." said Kirk staring at Scotty who was behind the transporter machine. "We have an important mission Bones."

"I'm a Doctor not you mother Jim." Said McCoy standing on the transporter pad next to Spock and Jim.

"Ok hold on to yer' bottoms her wee' go." Said Scotty pulling down the four switches, and quickly running to the transporter pad.

The flash of yellow consumed the four of them and their particles whizzed in the air towards to coordinates to the planet below. With a loud bubbling noise they appeared on the surface of the planet.

Spock immediately pulls out his tricorder and starts scanning the unusual planet.

Jim, McCoy, and Scotty explore the area and soon find the ruins of buildings and perhaps a civilization.

"Mr. Spock report, are they're any unusual machines here that would probably cause this odd lapse of time around the planet?" asked Kirk scanning the area for harmful identities.

"No I haven't gotten any odd readings yet Captain." " Interesting." Stated Spock again raising his pointed eyebrows high.

"What is it Mr. Spock?" asked Kirk standing over Spock's tricorder. "My findings seem to indicate human entities on this planet." Replied Spock staring puzzled at Kirk.

" Your kidding Spock!" "You mean to say that that metal can we are living in is wrong?" inquired McCoy with his blue eyes looking at Spock.

"Aye' it might be wrong but it ain't no can." Blurted Scotty red in the face.

"Men focus we have readings that make no sense!" exclaimed Kirk "We need to communicate with the natives of this world." "Spock locate them."

And right when they uttered these words three children ran out from the rubble. " Help us please!" cried this girl. Her face was that of a 14 year old, and collapsed into Kirk's arms. Kirk alarmed looked back at McCoy who was just as clueless as he was.
